Livelihood Heterogeneity and Adoption of Combine Harvesters Under Flood Risk: Evidence From the Wetland Areas of Bangladesh

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 2, December 2026.
Livelihood heterogeneity explains uneven combine harvester adoption in haor wetlands. PCA–cluster analysis identifies four farmer typologies shaping mechanization pathways. Adoption is highest among educated and networked land‐rich farmers, lowest among traditionalists.

Through a Glass Darkly: The Esk Valley Floods

Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online, Volume 21, Issue 3, September 2026.
Recent decades have seen a refocus from flood mitigation to risk reduction in favour of more proactive approaches to risk reduction and flood risk management. This study draws on the findings from surveys of residents in the Esk catchment of Hawkes Bay who experienced two significant flood events in 2018 and 2023 and residents’ perceptions of flood ...

Developing a riverbank erosion susceptibility index: A pragmatic approach to reveal the level of vulnerability in coastal Bangladesh

Geosystems and Geoenvironment
Riverbank erosion is one of the significant natural hazards affecting the livelihoods of communities living along riverbanks in Bangladesh. This study develops a novel riverbank erosion susceptibility index (RESI) to quantitatively assess community ...

River Sand and Gravel Mining: Global Drivers, Impacts, and Pathways for Sustainable Management

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract River sand and gravel are mined worldwide at volumes that now rival their natural replenishment, yet quantitative knowledge of this mining activity and its consequences lags far behind many other global environmental pressures. We synthesize 411 peer‐reviewed studies published since 1974 within a new Driver‐to‐Management Pathway for ...

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.

Nonlinear multi independent variables in quantifying river bank erosion using Neural Network AutoRegressive eXogenous (NNARX) model

Heliyon
This study proposed a novel application of Neural Network AutoRegressive eXogenous (NNARX) model in predicting nonlinear behaviour of riverbank erosion rates which is difficult to be achieved with good accuracy using conventional approaches.

A Model for Thaw and Erosion of Permafrost Riverbanks

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface
AbstractHow will bank erosion rates in Arctic rivers respond to a warming climate? Existing physical models predict that bank erosion rates should increase with water temperature as permafrost thaws more rapidly. However, the same theory predicts much faster erosion than is typically observed. We propose that these models are missing a key component: a

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 7, Page 990-1015, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

Bank erosion under the impacts of fluvial erosion, frost heaving/freeze-thaw process of rivers in seasonal frozen regions

Heliyon
Bank erosion is a key feature of channel evolution in alluvial rivers, and will occur under the combined effect of hydraulic erosion and frost heave/freeze-thaw process of rivers in seasonal frozen regions. However, most research on bank erosion modeling
