Understanding the human dimensions of wildfire risk at a community level in British Columbia, Canada
Canadian Geographies / Géographies canadiennes, Volume 70, Issue 2, Summer / été 2026.Abstract Recent spikes in the number of large and catastrophic wildfires in Canada pose significant risks to the environment and society. Rural and remote communities are especially at risk due to their location in wildfire‐prone areas, remoteness, and limited access or escape routes.

Compensating personal climate response inefficacy with political conservatism?
Political Psychology, Volume 47, Issue 2, April 2026.Abstract People grapple with the reality that their individual actions are too insignificant to impact climate change—a phenomenon known as personal climate response inefficacy. The compensatory control theory articulates that people may turn to overarching social institutions or ideologies (e.g., conservatism) when they lack personal control. Inspired

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.Abstract High‐resolution modeling of terrestrial hydrological processes offers new opportunities to advance the understanding of land‐atmosphere (L‐A) interactions. To investigate the impact of soil lateral flow (LF) on heavy rainfall events in mountainous areas of the Yangtze‐Huai region, we conducted two sets of convection‐permitting WRF simulations ...

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.Abstract Monitoring small rivers during extreme events is challenging, especially in remote areas. This study assesses the accuracy of the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission in characterizing an extreme hydrological event on a narrow river (∼60 m wide), using a landslide‐induced flood on the Chilcotin River (Canada) as a case study. SWOT
