ABSTRACT Over recent decades, the collection of seismic data has improved the understanding of near‐fault ground motion effects, which involve both horizontal and vertical components. Among the most significant effects are fault‐normal directivity, which concentrates seismic energy into an intense, long‐period pulse, and fault‐parallel fling step ...

ABSTRACT Accurate mechanical characterization of civil engineering structures after construction remains challenging due to the unique complexities of each structure, including geometric configurations, imperfect design modeling assumptions, soil conditions, and pervasive uncertainties in actual operational environments. Leveraging actual measurements,

Frozen Soil Hydrological Processes and Their Effects: A Review and Synthesis
Abstract Frozen soils, including seasonally frozen ground and permafrost, are rapidly changing under a warming climate, with cascading effects on water, energy, and carbon cycles. We synthesize recent advances in the physics, observation, and modeling of frozen‐soil hydrology, emphasizing freeze–thaw dynamics, infiltration regimes and preferential flow,

ABSTRACT Aim The glomerulus is a specialized microvascular unit that filters plasma through the coordinated function of podocytes and parietal epithelial cells (PECs). From this perspective, the glomerulus functions like a living hydrogeological filtration system.

Surfacing Hidden Social Innovation for a Hidden Form of Flood Risk: The Story of Project Groundwater
ABSTRACT Across the last decade ‘resilience’ has become a guiding principle for flood risk management (FRM) policymakers. The importance of the role of communities has been recognised, and there is a growing emphasis on innovation to contend with the complexity in community resilience building.
