Empirical Model of Post‐Earthquake Restoration Time for Building Components Based on Data From the 2022 Fukushima‐ken Oki Earthquake in Japan

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2897-2915, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Estimation of the time required for damaged building components to return to their pre‐earthquake conditions through repair is a critical element in assessing the seismic resilience of buildings, and it requires consideration of uncertainty.

Expected Annual Loss as a Global Metric for Seismic Performance Assessment of Existing Buildings

Buildings
The assessment of seismic performance of existing buildings has traditionally focused on structural safety and damage limitation, often neglecting the explicit quantification of the associated economic consequences.

Uneven Impacts of Seawall Heightening on Tsunami Risk Reduction under Rising Sea Levels: Probabilistic Scenarios from the Japan Trench

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2948-2965, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Disasters exacerbated by climate change have prompted adaptation measures, including seawall heightening, which is an effective approach to protecting coastal areas. However, the combined effect of rising sea levels and tsunamis can create a compound coastal hazard, in which long‐term sea level rise amplifies the impact of tsunamis.

Wavelet‐Based Hurst Exponent Estimation

WIREs Computational Statistics, Volume 18, Issue 3, September 2026.
The review explores how wavelet‐based methods for estimating the Hurst parameters have developed from their theoretical roots to real‐world applications in fields like biology, engineering, and telecommunications. The review aims to highlight key techniques, compare their strengths and limitations, and point out challenges that still need to be ...

Comprehensive Analysis for the Evaluation of Torrential Floods and Slope Stability of River Channels: La China River Area (Colombia)

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Colombia and other tropical regions face a very high threat from torrential floods, which have resulted in over 25,000 deaths in a single event. Unfortunately, there is no comprehensive assessment methodology to zone and determine the magnitude of these disasters; therefore, this research aims to help fill this gap.

Gamma Rays Signal the Vulnerability of Forest to Extreme Drought

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Extreme drought and heat are driving forest die‐off globally, yet regional‐scale mapping of subsurface water storage capacity, governing forest vulnerability, remains a major challenge. Here, we demonstrate that airborne gamma‐ray spectrometry (GRS) of potassium (40K) decay provides a powerful proxy for subsurface constraints on water ...

Unraveling Spatiotemporal Heterogeneity and Driving Mechanism of Vegetation Recovery in Co‐Seismic Landslide Areas via Nonlinear Trajectories and Bayesian Networks

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We developed an integrated GAM–Bayesian framework to diagnose the nonlinear recovery dynamics of vegetation in landslide‐affected areas. Our model reveals that most sites reached a key recovery inflection point within 5–7 years, with faster recovery occurring under warm, moist, and moderate light conditions.

Probabilistic Seismic Stability Analysis of Pile Reinforced Slope Using Modified Pseudo Dynamic Method Based on Modified Response Surfaces Approach

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
A probabilistic analysis framework for the seismic stability of pile‐reinforced slopes is developed by coupling the modified pseudo‐dynamic method with the response surface approach, enabling a more accurate estimation of the factor of safety and failure probability.
