How Changing Narratives About the Future Shape Policymaking for the Long Term
European Policy Analysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT How can we explain decisions by governments to engage in policy investments—accepting short‐term costs in return for anticipated gains in the longer term—after previously sustaining the status quo? Our article examines the role of narratives in changing expectations about the future as a key driver of intertemporal policymaking. In light of an

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study develops a high‐resolution regional seismic loss assessment framework for reinforced concrete (RC) bridges, focusing on direct losses due to bridge repair and replacement. Indirect losses tied to traffic downtime, business disruption, delayed recovery, etc., can also be attributed to bridge damage but are considered outside the ...

Locally Adaptive Non‐Hydrostatic Shallow Water Extension for Moving Bottom‐Generated Waves
International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, EarlyView.This study proposes a locally adaptive non‐hydrostatic model, which is based on the non‐hydrostatic extension of the shallow water equations (SWE) with a quadratic pressure relation, and applies it to wave propagation generated by a moving bottom. To obtain the locally adaptive model, we investigate several potential adaptivity criteria based on the ...

An approach for real-time monitoring of hydrological risk hotspots during extreme rainfall events
Geomatics, Natural Hazards & RiskReal-time monitoring of hydrological risk hotspots during extreme rainfall events is limited by certain challenges. Here, we introduce a new approach for tracking such hotspots across large areas in real time.

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.Implementing ecosystem restoration remains challenging for policymakers and practitioners. Focusing on Rwanda, we used a participatory world‐café approach involving scientists, practitioners, and decision‐makers working on ecosystem restoration to identify emerging challenges and future research priority areas. We identified five critical frontiers for

A First Quantitative Assessment of Soil Health at European Scale Considering Soil Genesis
Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Soil health degradation is a major threat to European food security, biodiversity, and climate stability. While scientists have debated how to define soil health during recent decades, a quantifiable framework for monitoring, management, and policy remains lacking.

Survival of reintroduced fishers among differing sympatric predator and prey assemblages
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.We examined how predator and prey occurrence and relative abundance influenced survival rates in reintroduced fisher (Pekania pennanti) populations in the southern and northern Cascade Mountains, Washington, USA, and found lower fisher survival in the north than in the south.
