From Observed Damage to Executable Repair Quantities: The RELA Repair Module
Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.Postearthquake workflows currently support three distinct classes of decisions: safety clearance through rapid tagging, portfolio‐level economic damage estimation through probabilistic loss models, and field inspections based on locally defined survey forms, which may subsequently trigger project‐specific strengthening through retrofit design. However,

A Bayesian Framework for Empirical Estimation of Post‐Earthquake Building Inspection Time
Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.Building safety inspections can be an impeding determinant of post‐earthquake recovery, yet their durations remain inadequately quantified because fine‐grained operational data are rarely available. Here, we present a probabilistic Bayesian framework to quantify building‐level inspection time, calibrated against a comprehensive multiagency dataset from

From Highlands to Henge: Refining the Provenance and Transport Pathways of Stonehenge's Altar Stone
Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 888-895, August 2026.ABSTRACT The Altar Stone, the 6000 kg central sandstone megalith at Stonehenge in southern England, is suggested to have originated from the Orcadian Basin in northeast Scotland, some 700 km away. However, its source location within this large basin remains unresolved and its mode of transport uncertain.

Disrupting the herd: Recreational boating alters group dispersion within beluga whale herds
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.Recreational boating in beluga habitat remains poorly documented. Using land‐based observations in the Saguenay Fjord (Quebec, Canada), we show that increasing recreational boat numbers are associated with a higher probability of changes in beluga herd dispersion, suggesting behavioral disturbance and the need to integrate recreational boating into ...

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2576-2597, August 2026.Abstract Indigenous Peoples in northern Alberta, including Dené and Cree of the Athabasca Chipewyan and Mikisew Cree First Nations (ACFN and MCFN), have been using Indigenous laws and stewardship principles to care for their homelands for thousands of years. Since ACFN and MCFN signed Treaty 8 with Canada in 1899, Alberta's land management policies and
