Disasters, Volume 50, Issue 3, July 2026.Abstract This study examines the complexity of disaster response management and the role of local institutional leadership. Drawing on a comparative analysis of the May 2023 floods in two Emilia‐Romagna provinces in Italy, it explores how local leadership influences the outcomes of crisis management within a shared institutional and hazard context ...

On unstable ground: gendered vulnerabilities and community perceptions of landslides in rural Uganda
Disasters, Volume 50, Issue 3, July 2026.Abstract Despite a growing body of literature linking transnational sex and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) among women across Sub‐Saharan Africa, knowledge gaps remain regarding the environmental or climate‐related drivers of these phenomena.

Disasters, Volume 50, Issue 3, July 2026.Abstract This study critically examines post‐disaster recovery policies in Brazil and their short‐ and long‐term effects on marginalised populations, particularly those living in informal or precarious housing. Drawing on a mixed‐methods investigation conducted in collaboration with the Movimento dos Atingidos por Barragens, the research analyses multi‐

Tropical Cyclone Rainfall Spatial Asymmetries in the Lesser Antilles
International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 8, 30 June 2026.Rainfall is not proportional to the Saffir‐Simpson wind‐based categories. Lower category tropical cyclones (TS, H1, H2 and H3) can generate more intense rainfall than H4 and H5. Rainfall is asymmetric; as a tropical cyclone intensifies or weakens, the location of peak rainfall shifts.

Physics‐Supervised Autonomous Inverse Fracture Modeling via Generative Artificial Intelligence
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.Abstract Fracture networks act as critical pathways for groundwater flow and transport, yet their characterization remains challenging due to subsurface inaccessibility and stochastic complexity. Traditional inversion methods are computationally expensive and often fail to capture fracture heterogeneity accurately.

Drying Effect of Landfalling Tropical Cyclones
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.Abstract The high precipitation efficiency of tropical cyclones (TCs) is theorized to dehydrate the atmosphere, a process with important climate implications that has yet to be confirmed by direct observational evidence. Using satellite and reanalysis data, this study statistically examines the drying effect of landfalling TCs. Results indicate a local
