Surface Consistent Seismic Hazard Assessment in the Shillong Plateau, Northeast India: A Probabilistic Approach Using Multiple Source Models and a Logic Tree Framework

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2855-2879, September 2026.
ABSTRACT We perform probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) in the Shillong Plateau by clubbing the up‐to‐date earthquake data and seismotectonic properties of the study area. Twenty‐one areal seismic sources are delineated based on the updated earthquake catalog, tectonic, and fault plane solutions.

Telecom Expansion and Internal Migrants in Indian Cities

Journal of Regional Science, Volume 66, Issue 4, Page 1068-1092, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper estimates the impact of mobile phone service expansion on migration to and between cities of India during 2001–2011. We show that the number of cross‐state migrants living in urban areas of India increased significantly due to telecommunications infrastructure growth. The increased migration reflects better labor and marriage market

Climate and Edaphic Factors Partly Explain Leaf Litterfall Rates of Species From Tropical Semi‐Deciduous Ecosystems

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Semi‐deciduous ecosystems have short leaf‐shedding periods, making carbon cycling and litterfall patterns difficult to study. This study compiled data from 31 global sites and used regression models to examine how climate and soil factors influence leaf litterfall rates.
