Modelling Wetting Collapse, Failure and Deposition of an Unsaturated Slope With Material Point Method

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 49, Issue 18, Page 4526-4551, 25 December 2025.
ABSTRACT The paper presents the modelling of unsaturated soils with the material point method (MPM), including the effect of wetting leading to the loss of strength and the volumetric collapse. The elastoplastic Clay and Sand Model (CASM) extended to unsaturated conditions, formulated in terms of Bishop's stress and suction, has been implemented in an ...

A semi-empirical relationship for the small-strain shear modulus of soft clays [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2019
The small-strain shear modulus (Gmax) is a soil property that has many practical applications. The authors compiled a database of Gmax measurements for 40 normally consolidated to slightly overconsolidated low to high plasticity clays.

How Compressible Are Salt Marshes? Unique Field Experiments Combined With Advanced Modeling Provide Novel Insights From the Venice Lagoon

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Coastal depositional environments, particularly salt marshes, are among the morphologies most vulnerable to relative sea‐level rise (RSLR). Their ability to withstand changing conditions is closely related to their capacity to accrete sediment, gaining elevation at a rate comparable to RSLR. Sedimentation, decomposition of organic remains, and

Low‐Rank Geostatistical Inversion for Spatiotemporal Heterogeneity of Aquitard Hydraulic Parameters

Water Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Many hydrogeological processes are intricately linked to both the spatial heterogeneity and temporal dynamics of the involved parameters. The variability in hydrogeological parameters across both space and time domains is defined as the spatiotemporal heterogeneity.

Laboratory and field determination of preconsolidation pressures at Gloucester

Canadian Geotechnical Journal, 1983
In recent literature several special test methods have been proposed to measure the preconsolidation pressure of a compressible clay soil. Five methods, in addition to the conventional oedometer test, were applied to the marine clays from the Gloucester test site.

Modeling Land Subsidence Under Future Water Stress: The Influence of Groundwater Exploitation, Climate Change, and Inter‐Basin Water Diversion

Water Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Land subsidence driven by groundwater exploitation poses a critical threat under future water stress from population growth, urbanization, and economic expansion. While the relationship between groundwater level (GWL) fluctuations and land subsidence has been studied, limited research has explored their co‐evolution under future development ...

Potential Output Pessimism and Austerity in the European Union

Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, Volume 57, Issue 7, Page 1871-1905, October 2025.
Abstract The paper develops a business cycle model with policymakers' learning about potential output to analyze the European recession following the Global Financial Crisis. The initial recession led to overpessimism about potential output and cyclically adjusted budget balance (CAB), triggering fiscal austerity. The austerity caused further recession,

Characterizing Aquifer Properties Through a Sparse‐Grids‐Based Bayesian Framework and InSAR Measurements: A Basin‐Scale Application to Alto Guadalentín, Spain

Water Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract Aquifer characterization is essential for predicting aquifer responses and ensuring sustainable groundwater management. In this study we develop a sparse‐grids‐based Bayesian framework to infer the hydraulic conductivity and the soil compressibility of over‐exploited aquifer systems using Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) ground
