Predicting Seismic Debris Distributions of Collapsed Unreinforced Masonry Structures Through Physics Engines and Machine Learning Algorithms

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
Unreinforced masonry (URM) structures are widespread worldwide, particularly in older urban districts. However, URM buildings—particularly those constructed before the introduction of modern building codes—are highly vulnerable to seismic hazard, and prone to experiencing local and/or global failures when subjected to significant horizontal shaking ...

Structural Accommodation as a Coastal Adaptation Response to Sea‐Level Rise: Lessons From Europe

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Global sea‐level rise is intensifying pressures on coastal regions, increasing the need for adaptation strategies (e.g., protect, retreat, accommodate). At the same time, decision makers require a better understanding of the available responses to address the widening adaptation implementation gap.

The power of the past: materializing collective memory at early medieval lordly centres

open access: yesEarly Medieval Europe, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 34-69, February 2026.
The repurposing of earlier sites and monuments is an enduringly popular theme in early medieval archaeology, but in England it has attracted little interest among Late Saxon and early post‐Conquest studies. From the tenth century, however, an increasingly prevalent pattern is discernible of secular lords locating their power centres in relation to ...
