Evaluating the U.S. Geological Survey's Earthquake Shaking Hazard Forecasts and Their Implications on Seismic Risk

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
We analyze the last six update cycles of the long‐term probabilistic earthquake shaking hazard forecast from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and discuss the changes in hazard estimates from the 1996 to the latest 2023 update of the National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) for the conterminous United States.

Assessments of Liquefaction Triggering and Manifestation at Three Case History Sites in Napier Based on 1931 Hawke's Bay, New Zealand, Earthquake

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
The 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake (∼MS 7.8) stands as one of New Zealand's most devastating, causing widespread liquefaction and damage across the city of Napier. However, Napier remains underrepresented in liquefaction hazard studies as compared to other regions in the country.

Determining soil erosion rates on a grazed Australian hillslope: Comparison of two landform evolution models with field‐based methods

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 7, July 2026.
Erosion rates were quantified using field methods (137Cs, sediment loading) and two landform evolution models (LEMs), SIBERIA and SSSPAM, on a grazed catchment analogous to nearby mining sites, filling the gap in field data comparisons. Model estimates aligned with field data, demonstrating both LEMs' predictive potential for erosion in grazed ...

A Surrogate Model for Stability Assessment of Two‐Layered Cohesive Slopes

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 10, Page 4142-4163, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper introduces a novel surrogate model for rapid stability evaluation of two‐layered cohesive slopes under undrained conditions. The model eliminates the need for iterative calculations and slip surface searches, allowing for fast and accurate stability assessments without reliance on advanced numerical tools. The formulation is derived
