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 ...

Shifting the paradigm: An Indigenous knowledge‐based stewardship plan to replenish boreal caribou in Athabasca Chipewyan and Mikisew Cree First Nations' homelands

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

Can Domain‐Informed Design Improve Neural Spatio‐Temporal Point Processes for Earthquake Forecasting?

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Statistical earthquake forecasting models, such as the Epidemic‐type Aftershock Sequence (ETAS), embed decades of empirical knowledge and assumptions about earthquake triggering, clustering, and catalog completeness. In contrast, neural spatio‐temporal point process (STPP) models often treat seismicity as generic spatiotemporal data without ...
