Riverbank Erosion Susceptibility Under Varying Sedimentological and Freeze–Thaw Conditions in Cold Climate Regions

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 10, October 2026.
Freeze–thaw processes, moisture, and sediment properties control riverbank erosion in boreal–subarctic rivers. Field measurements, geotechnical analyses and monitoring reveal continuous, seasonally driven erosion, while climate projections indicate reduced freezing, potentially increasing erosion risk under warming conditions.

Unmanned Aerial Systems for Corrosion Detection: Multi‐Sensor Technologies, Challenges, and Opportunities for Next‐Generation Inspection

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, Volume 42, Issue 6, Page 3565-3583, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Corrosion remains a critical threat to the integrity and service life of infrastructure in industries such as oil, gas, construction, renewable energy, and transportation. Traditional inspection methods, being labor‐intensive, hazardous, and often subjective, fall short in addressing modern inspection demands.

Deep Reinforcement Learning Based Autonomous Decision‐Making for Cooperative Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles: A Search and Rescue Real World Application

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 7, Page 4382-4401, October 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper presents the first end‐to‐end framework that combines guidance, navigation, and centralized task allocation for multiple UAVs performing autonomous search‐and‐rescue (SAR) in GNSS‐denied indoor environments. A twin delayed deep deterministic policy gradient controller is trained with an artificial potential field (APF) reward that ...

From Reactive Remediation to Predictive Prevention: A Systems Synthesis of Global Soil Salinization and Sodicity

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 10, October 2026.
Salty soils are spreading across the world's farmland, often building up unnoticed for years before crop yields fall sharply and repair becomes slow and costly. Our review shows that this damage comes from linked problems in soil chemistry, water management, and policy, so fixing any one of them alone rarely works.
