GRAIN: Mapping the World's Irrigation Canals and Why It Matters for Water, Food, and Climate

open access: yesPerspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 7, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract The engineered channels that carry water from large dams and rivers to agricultural fields, known as irrigation canals, are the link between source (lakes and reservoirs) and sink (farmlands). These canals make cultivation of crops possible across millions of hectares of land.

A Machine Learning Framework for Flood Risk Assessment With Imbalanced Data

open access: yesJournal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT This study presents a machine‐learning framework for identifying areas of elevated flood risk using imbalanced, high‐dimensional geospatial datasets. Using the Mandra River Basin in Greece as a case study, an extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) classifier was trained on 11 flood‐related features including hydrological, meteorological, soil and

AI Alignment Versus AI Ethical Treatment: 10 Challenges

open access: yesAnalytic Philosophy, Volume 67, Issue 4, Page 309-327, December 2026.
ABSTRACT A morally acceptable course of AI development should avoid two dangers: creating unaligned AI systems that pose a threat to humanity and mistreating AI systems that merit moral consideration in their own right. This paper argues these two dangers interact and that if we create AI systems that merit moral consideration, simultaneously avoiding ...
