Research on the instability mechanism of loess landslides based on preferential infiltration of rainfall

Frontiers in Earth Science
Loess landslides represent a prevalent and severe type of geological disaster in the Loess Plateau and its surrounding regions. Their frequency and intensity are notably exacerbated under rainfall conditions.

Severity of Compound Precipitation and Temperature Extreme Events Over Africa at 1.5°C and 2°C Global Warming Levels

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 3, 15 March 2026.
Results indicate that, an increase in global warming level from 1.5°C to 2°C is likely to induce on the one hand a 3‐fold increase in the frequency of occurrence of dry and warm compound events, and on the other hand a 2‐fold increase in their duration, over West, Central, South‐West, and South‐East Africa, intensifying droughts through reduced ...

A Continental United States Climatology of Precipitation Whiplash Using a New Event‐Based Definition

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 3, 15 March 2026.
Precipitation whiplash events have been increasingly studied over the recent decade, however, no studies have considered the spatial coherence of grid points in their examination. Therefore, we developed an algorithm that defines spatially coherent precipitation whiplash events on the subseasonal‐to‐seasonal timescale between 1915 and 2020 which can be

Plant Robotics for Sustainable and Environmentally Friendly Robots: Insights from Actuation Characteristics

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 15, 13 March 2026.
Plants are promising materials for building sustainable and eco‐friendly robots due to their inherent multifunctionality, with actuation playing a crucial role. This article focuses on the physical movements of plants and, from the perspective of actuation characteristics, explores representative plant species and their behaviors, the current state of ...

Rapid methods of landslide hazard mapping : Fiji case study [PDF]

, 1995
A landslide hazard probability map can help planners (1) prepare for, and/or mitigate against, the effects of landsliding on communities and infrastructure, and (2) avoid or minimise the risks associated with new developments.

Weakening of Western Disturbances in Response to Polar Sea Ice Melt in Climate Model Simulations

Atmospheric Science Letters, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
We investigate how polar sea ice loss influences western disturbances over South Asia using climate model experiments. The simulations reveal a robust weakening of western disturbance activity in response to Polar Sea ice melt. These results highlight a critical teleconnection pathway through which high‐latitude cryospheric changes may impact South ...

Rapid Mapping of Rainfall-Induced Landslide Using Multi-Temporal Satellite Data

Remote Sensing
In subtropical regions, typhoons and tropical storms can generate massive rainstorms resulting in thousands of landslides, often termed as Multiple-Occurrence of Regional Landslide Events (MORLE).

Application of RMR89–NATM Rock Mass Classification for Tunnel Design: A Case Study From Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh, India

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
The Bilaspur region lies in a highly seismic zone, requiring special attention for infrastructure development like tunnel construction. Rock strength in the area is low, posing challenges for stable tunnel design. RMR values range from 21 to 30, categorizing the rock mass as Poor, requiring robust support measures.
