Map and Archival Evidence of the Historical Avulsion of the Brahmaputra River
The Geographical Journal, Volume 192, Issue 2, June 2026.Short Abstract One of the world's great rivers, the Brahmaputra, avulsed—changed course—significantly sometime between the dates of 1765 and 1830. These are the dates of surveys by James Rennell (grey) and Richard Wilcox (black), both under the direction of the East India Company; no other surveys between these dates can refine the estimate of the ...

Reviewing the Levee Effect: From Theory to Practice
Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Ongoing development in flood‐prone areas has intensified focus on flood‐risk management strategies. Constructed flood protections, like levees, lead to a false sense of security. Resulting development behind levees paradoxically increases flood risk, referred to as the levee effect.

Regional Flood Emergency Capacity Assessment Based on a Multidimensional Framework
Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Knowing the status of emergency capacity for disaster risk reduction helps the government and stakeholders to minimize vulnerabilities and disaster risk. However, there is no widely applied methodology for emergency capacity assessment. This study develops a multidimensional framework integrating vulnerability, susceptibility, and adaptability

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.Abstract Tropical cyclone (TC) intensity and associated rainfall depend on sea surface temperature (SST). SSTs in southern Japan, which are often hit by TCs, are likely influenced by the path of the Kuroshio. During the Kuroshio large meander (KLM), Kuroshio creates a coexistence of local warm and cold SST anomalies near the Japanese coast.

Asynchronous Landslide Seasonality Across the United States
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.Abstract Mid‐range landslide outlooks can facilitate weather‐related landslide preparedness and disaster response planning, but seasonal landslide activity remains poorly quantified at continental scales. Leveraging >55,000 reported landslides from across the United States (U.S.), we used circular statistics to quantify landslide seasonality in 67 ...

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.As fragility and risk modeling techniques and computational capabilities evolve, complemented by moving toward more routine and systematic seismic risk assessment of all buildings and critical infrastructure, the authors pose a few critical questions to investigate how the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Seismic Hazard Models (NSHMs) can be used

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.What drives user perceptions and acceptance of earthquake early warning systems (EEWS) as an emerging technology? Do distinct types of transparency into EEWS affect users’ perceptions of the system's usefulness and desirability differently? To address these questions, we focus on Nepal, an earthquake‐prone country with no active public EEWS ...
