Disaggregation of Landslide Risk
Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Quantifying and disaggregating landslide risk through probabilistic landslide risk analysis (PLRA) is critical for land use regulation and risk reduction. However, no transferable model for PLRA currently exists that resolves landslide consequences to individual buildings at regional scales.

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Understanding groundwater recharge pathways is essential for designing effective managed aquifer strategies, yet in heterogeneous alluvial aquifers, these pathways are often uncertain and difficult to resolve with sparse well networks. We apply gravity as an independent constraint to quantify groundwater storage dynamics and evaluate recharge ...

Seismic Risk Analysis of Revenue Losses, Gross Regional Product and transportation systems. [PDF]
, 2013 Natural threats like earthquakes, hurricanes or tsunamis have shown seri- ous impacts on communities. In the past, major earthquakes in the United States like Loma Prieta 1989, Northridge 1994, or recent events in Italy like L’Aquila 2009 or Emilia 2012 ...

Disasters, Volume 50, Issue 2, April 2026.Abstract This article explores longstanding conflict between Turkana and Pokot pastoralist communities in northern Kenya, close to the country's border with Uganda. Conflict in this region has consistently defied interventions by both governments and development organisations.

Seismic analyses of a R/C building: study of a retrofitting solution [PDF]
, 2000 The preliminary experimental results from the tests on a 4-storey R/C frame structure are presented and discussed. The full-scale model is representative of the common practice of 40~50 years ago in most south European countries.

From Hurricane Irma to the Grindavík eruptions: volatility premiums in disaster governance
Disasters, Volume 50, Issue 2, April 2026.Abstract Environmental volatility can inflate property values even as it destroys them. To show how, this article pairs a postcolonial micro‐state in the Caribbean (Sint Maarten after Hurricane Irma) with a Nordic welfare town (Grindavík in Iceland following volcanic eruptions) because they occupy the opposite ends of the governance capacity spectrum ...

The making of pure quartzose sand in continental interiors: Paraná River (Brazil and Argentina)
Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 3, Page 802-837, April 2026.ABSTRACT As part of a comprehensive project on sedimentary processes in South America, this study focuses on sediment generation in the intracratonic Paraná Basin and monitors the evolution of sand composition along the Paraná River from central Brazil to the Río de la Plata estuary in Argentina.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.Abstract The efficacy of rapid seismic response is fundamentally constrained by the sequential, multi‐step nature of conventional InSAR processing, where error propagation and reliance on auxiliary data hinder automation. Here, we present a holistic framework using Physics‐Aware Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to directly retrieve absolute ...
