Stability Evaluation and Parametric Optimization of Coal‐Concrete Composite Bearing Systems Under Mine‐Water‐Induced Deterioration: Experiments and FEINN Analysis

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 8, Page 3697-3725, August 2026.
Mine‐water immersion tests reveal pronounced coal weakening (vs. minor concrete degradation), identifying coal pillars as the stability‐limiting component in composite dams. A coupled FEINN framework quantifies extreme‐pressure stability and ranks multi‐parameter designs via a normalized multi‐indicator scheme, enabling optimized dam configuration for ...

Analysis and Optimization of Early‐Warning Indicators for Impact Critical Stress in Deep Soft Coal Seams

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 8, Page 3726-3740, August 2026.
This study determines the impact critical stress early‐warning indicators for deep soft coal seams: 18 MPa (shallow holes), 20 MPa (deep holes), and 3 MPa/d daily stress change rate, via theoretical, experimental and simulation methods. ABSTRACT The accurate determination of early‐warning indicators for critical impact stress in deep soft coal seams is

Research on the Critical Mechanical Criterion for Stick‐Slip Instability of Mining‐Affected Normal Faults Based on the Rate‐and‐State Friction Law

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 8, Page 3935-3947, August 2026.
Mining disturbance tends to trigger fault stick‐slip instability and induce disasters. This paper establishes a mechanical model to propose a critical criterion, which is verified to be reliable via FLAC3D, providing a theoretical basis for early warning of fault slip disasters.

Analysis of Arsenic, Cadmium, Chromium, and Lead Levels: Interplay of Climate, Soil, and Human Factors in Urban Gardens

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Understanding the spatial distribution of heavy metals in urban gardens is essential for mitigating contamination risks and supporting safe urban agriculture. This study examines factors influencing heavy metal concentrations in garden soil across San Antonio, Dallas, and Houston.

Applying Transfer Learning for Street‐Scale Nuisance Flood Forecasting in Coastal‐Urban Environments

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract An important challenge with Machine Learning (ML) is its transferability; that is, whether an ML model trained on one set of data can be applied to a second set of data without requiring full retraining of the model. Transfer Learning (TL) addresses this challenge by transferring knowledge learned in the source domain (the data it was trained ...

Widespread Landslide Activity in an Extreme Wet Season and Implications for Regional Sediment Management, Eastern San Francisco Bay Area, California

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Watershed sediment production is expected to increase in a warmer future with more extreme rain, with cascading effects throughout drainage and sediment‐transport networks. This study investigated landscape‐scale sediment movement in the eastern San Francisco Bay area, California, USA, during the extreme 2016–2017 wet season that brought major

Constructed value of information with iterative scoring and parametric uncertainty to identify management‐relevant research priorities for a declining raptor species

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Constructed value of information (CVoI) is an expert elicitation decision‐analytic tool used to prioritize sources of uncertainty based on their potential to improve decision outcomes if resolved. Despite increased application of CVoI, the robustness of CVoI prioritization of sources of uncertainty relative to differences in expert elicitation

Integrating traditional practices, livelihoods, and conservation with Indigenous‐led furbearer camera trapping

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Contemporary conservation goals have a greater chance of success when practitioners collaborate with Indigenous communities. The importance of such collaborations has spurred calls by Western and Indigenous researchers to engage in equitable coproduction of ecological research that integrates multiple ways of knowing.
