Impact of riverbank erosion: A case study

Australasian Journal of Disaster and Trauma Studies, 2017
Human displacement is liable to occur in riverside regions where people are vulnerable to riverbank erosion. This vulnerability depends on factors such as population density and the economic conditions of the region’s population. Short-term socioeconomic impacts on the displaced population include loss of home, agricultural land, jobs and assets. There

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in Mining: An Integrated Institutional and Agency Theory Perspective

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 4591-4606, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Mining is one of the foundations of economic development but has historically been associated with severe socioenvironmental impacts, such as ecosystem degradation, displacement of traditional communities, and large‐scale disasters. In this context, corporate social responsibility (CSR) plays a central role as a mechanism for legitimizing ...

Projecting future damage costs of non‐native species using combined dynamical and cost–density equations

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 5, July 2026.
Abstract Biological invasions threaten biodiversity, economic stability, and public health, exacerbated by intensive global trade and transport. The economic costs of these invasions have exceeded US$2 trillion globally and continue to increase. Although past invasion costs have been described across various contexts, there are few robust projections ...

Invasive plant species for compost production: Review of environmental and economic insights

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Invasive plant species pose significant ecological and economic challenges, threatening biodiversity and altering soil properties, while conventional control methods are often costly and resource‐intensive. This review examines the potential of composting invasive plant biomass as a viable and sustainable alternative that aligns with circular ...

Rethinking Studentification: Town‐Gown Interaction in Small Cities Through Everyday Urban Experiences

Population, Space and Place, Volume 32, Issue 5, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper repositions town‐gown relations in small cities by focusing on the everyday urban experiences that shape them, rather than limiting them to the studentification perspective. Drawing on Amasya, Türkiye, as a case study, the research conducts 63 semi‐structured interviews with local residents and small business owners across ...

Addressing Biases in Ice Jam Observations by Integrating Multi‐Source Data in a Forested Fluvial Landscape, Southern Quebec

River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 6, Page 1188-1208, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Exhaustive long‐term and large‐scale ice jam records are scarce in most cold river environments. Many discrete events occur in small, sparsely populated river systems and are poorly represented in open‐source databases. These observation biases are transferred to predictive models of ice jams and the collective understanding of their formation

Meander‐Bend Erosion Dynamics Along a Gravel‐Bed River: Insights From Short‐Term UAV Monitoring

River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 6, Page 1223-1238, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Riverbank erosion is a natural process in meandering rivers that contributes to sediment supply and geomorphic diversity, yet it can threaten infrastructure and human activities within the floodplain. Recently, many studies have used high‐resolution remote sensing technologies to measure bank erosion, but they often focus on technical aspects ...

Projected Temperature and Precipitation Expand Modeled Distributions of Reynoutria spp. While Modeled Distribution Changes for Ludwigia spp. Are Scenario‐Dependent at Watershed Scales in the Pacific Northwest, USA

River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 6, Page 1411-1424, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Invasive species can fundamentally alter their introduced habitats by changing natural processes and harming native species crucial to functional ecosystems and human needs. Although the number of potential invasive species is large, the suitability of novel locations to support population establishment is limited by both physical and ...
