The tensile strength of granite, a proposed host for nuclear waste, degrades severely above 400°C. We link this to specific microcracking patterns captured by acoustic emission, establishing a scientific basis for assessing repository safety under thermal load.

General model for relationship between void ratio and matric suction in unsaturated soils
Based on the provisions of “China's code for seismic design of hydraulic structures of hydropower project” (NB 35047-2015), the detailed effects of seismic parameters determined by use of different design response spectra including site-related response ...

Probabilistic natural gradient boosting and Gaussian process regression models accurately predict rate‐dependent rock strength across lithologies. Static strength and strain rate dominate, while geometric factors have minimal influence, enabling interpretable and uncertainty‐aware predictions for dynamic geomechanical applications. Abstract The dynamic

This study reveals the failure evolution characteristics of deep cross‐fault roadway surrounding rock under excavation support and periodic weighting. Periodic weighting readily induces fault activation, with the spatial distribution of failed rock masses being controlled by the fault strike and dip.

Latitudinal diversity gradients (LDGs) arise from the interplay of historical, ecological, and evolutionary processes, yet these drivers may differ across landforms. Mountains, with steep elevational and climatic gradients, often sustain distinct diversity dynamics compared with adjacent lowlands, where vertical climatic gradients are weak and human ...

The EU's Strategy for Sustainability: A Landmark Turn With the European Green Deal?
ABSTRACT While the European Green Deal (EGD) has been widely recognized as a milestone in the EU's sustainability strategy, scholars disagree on the nature of the policy change it represents. Critics highlight its limited social and environmental ambitions, despite its portrayal as a “man on the moon” moment.

The 2025 Kamchatka Earthquake and Tsunami: Cascading Impacts and Risks to Japan
ABSTRACT On July 29th, 2025, a large earthquake (Mw 8.8) occurred near the Kamchatka Peninsula. This event caused a tsunami that reached Japan's Pacific coast, even though the source was far away. In this study, we analyze the characteristics of earthquakes and tsunamis and discuss how they relate to the recurrence possibility and risk in Japan.

Deep learning model for co-seismic response detection of fixed-point deformation data
Co-seismic response identification of fixed-point deformation data currently relies on manual selection, and no automatic co-seismic response detection method has yet been applied.
