Predicting Road Encounter Hotspots for Infrequently Detected Species Using Opportunistic Data: A Case Study With Blanding's Turtle (Emydoidea blandingii)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
The article focuses on ways of identifying important road encounter locations of a rare species, Blanding's Turtle Emydoidea blandingii, using haphazardly collected data, as is usually the case with rare species, in order to appropriately site mitigation measures. We apply three different methods for predicting road encounter hotspots over a large road

Multi‐Site Evaluation of a Postfire Debris‐Flow Runout Forecast Method

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Postfire debris flows pose a hazard to human life, property, and infrastructure when they travel from steep source areas to urbanized alluvial fans or other developed areas. Existing methods for rapid (<1 week) postfire debris‐flow hazard assessment document the increase in the likelihood and size of debris flows as the magnitude of high ...

Empowering Communities Through Urban Flood Resilience: A New Vision for Sustainable Drainage Delivery

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Nature‐based solutions are increasingly recognised for their potential to address multiple sustainable development goals and transform degraded urban areas into liveable spaces. Sustainable drainage systems (SuDS), increasingly considered a sub‐set of these, are widely used to improve urban flood and climate resilience.

Impacts of bat use of anthropogenic structures on bats and humans

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Human‐induced landscape modifications and climate change are forcing wildlife into closer contact with humans as the availability of natural habitats decreases. Although the importance of anthropogenic structures for the conservation of species is widely recognized, negative narratives surrounding bats may impede conservation efforts in human ...

Impact of curing conditions on the microstructure of cement-stabilized sandy clay soils in coastal pavements

Discover Civil Engineering
Cement stabilization is employed to construct pavement layers with available sandy clay soil. This paper aims to demonstrate how curing under ambient hot weather conditions in coastal regions, along with the quality of water used, significantly impacts ...

Next‐Generation Stormwater Infrastructures: A Typology of Paradigms for Design and Operation

WIREs Water, Volume 13, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Conceptual diagram of a comprehensive urban environment, illustrating key stormwater‐related elements alongside conventional and modern management technologies. The figure also highlights prominent urban water‐related stressors. ABSTRACT The conventional approach to urban stormwater system design is deemed unsatisfactory, primarily due to its narrowly ...

Predicting Rainfall Infiltration Losses: A Rainfall Simulation Study of Land Cover, Slope and Soil Type

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Rainfall infiltration is a key hydrological process influencing agriculture, pollutant transport, and flood modeling. Accurate prediction of rainfall losses, defined as rainfall that does not contribute to surface runoff is critical in rainfall‐runoff models.
