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.

A Method to Estimate Health Effects Based on Error‐Prone Simulated Environmental Exposure: An Application to a Multi‐Country Study on Birthweight and Fine Particulate Matter

GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Earth System Models provide spatiotemporally continuous environmental exposure data but remain underused in environmental epidemiology because of uncertainty from measurement errors. We developed a novel latent‐variable approach to correct for measurement error characterized by spatiotemporal error covariance, which was derived from ...

Ticking the box: Does a decision support framework for management planning improve protected area management effectiveness?

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
Protected area (PA) management effectiveness assessment tools like the METT help conservation agencies demonstrate accountability but often oversimplify complex management realities, leading to METT indicator compliance rather than positive conservation outcomes. Applying a decision support framework like the Conservation Standards to 38 Cape Floristic
