Multi‐Hazard Shaking‐Tsunami Fatality Risk Estimation for Coastal Communities

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2618-2633, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This study develops a multi‐hazard fatality risk model for a coastal community (Tofino) on Vancouver Island, Canada, subjected to earthquake‐tsunami threats from the Cascadia subduction megathrust events. The model incorporates variable population distributions and uncertain fatality rate models, in addition to other key model components, such

Study of Automatic Forest Road Design Model Considering Shallow Landslides with LiDAR Data of Funyu Experimental Forest

Croatian Journal of Forest Engineering, 2013
In this study, a model to automatically design a forest road considering shallow landslides using LiDAR data was examined. First, in order to develop a shallow landslide risk map of the Funyu Experimental Forest, a slope stability analysis was carried ...

Taxonomic Revision of Corsia (Corsiaceae) Reveals Over‐Estimated Mycoheterotroph Diversity in Papuasia: 25 Species Become 10

Feddes Repertorium, Volume 137, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Corsia (Corsiaceae) is a remarkable genus of achlorophyllous, fully mycoheterotrophic plants distributed across New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and Northern Australia. The genus has often been considered an example of adaptive radiation amongst mycoheterotrophic plants, with 25 narrowly endemic species, most known from just one or two ...

CALIBRATION OF DISTRIBUTED SHALLOW LANDSLIDE MODELS IN FORESTED LANDSCAPES

Journal of Agricultural Engineering, 2010
<p>In mountainous-forested soil mantled landscapes all around the world, rainfall-induced shallow landslides are one of the most common hydro-geomorphic hazards, which frequently impact the environment and human lives and properties. In order to produce shallow landslide susceptibility maps, several models have been proposed in the last decade ...

Through a Glass Darkly: The Esk Valley Floods

Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online, Volume 21, Issue 3, September 2026.
Recent decades have seen a refocus from flood mitigation to risk reduction in favour of more proactive approaches to risk reduction and flood risk management. This study draws on the findings from surveys of residents in the Esk catchment of Hawkes Bay who experienced two significant flood events in 2018 and 2023 and residents’ perceptions of flood ...

Dominance of Picea glehnii in the Serpentine Forests of Hokkaido: Perspectives for an Ecological Understanding

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.
We question why Picea glehnii dominates serpentine forests in Hokkaido. First, based on functional trait measurements and a comparison with another coniferous species present in the region, Abies sachalinensis, we report preliminary results consistent with better adaptation of P. glehnii to serpentine soils.

Mechanism of fracture preferential flow infiltration-induced shallow damage of colluvial landslides

Yantu gongcheng xuebao
Soil fissures provide infiltration channels for rainfall, and the dominant flow formed along these channels dominates the infiltration process of rainfall, leading to the gradual deterioration of landslide stability and the continuous development of ...

Comprehensive Analysis for the Evaluation of Torrential Floods and Slope Stability of River Channels: La China River Area (Colombia)

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Colombia and other tropical regions face a very high threat from torrential floods, which have resulted in over 25,000 deaths in a single event. Unfortunately, there is no comprehensive assessment methodology to zone and determine the magnitude of these disasters; therefore, this research aims to help fill this gap.

A Simplified Approach to Assess the Soil Saturation Degree and Stability of a Representative Slope Affected by Shallow Landslides in Oltrepò Pavese (Italy)

Geosciences, 2018
The identification of the triggering mechanism of rainfall-induced, shallow landslides requires a complete understanding of the hydro-mechanical response of soil, which can be represented through the trends of the degree of soil saturation. In this paper,

Spatial variability of denudation rates and transient landscape adjustment in low‐deforming mountains (the Strengbach catchment, Vosges Mountains, France)

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 8, August 2026.
Erosion across the landscape is described at first order by a limited number (nine) of homogenous geomorphological and lithological domains. Using a dense set of basin wide denudation rates, it is possible to retrieve the contribution of each litho‐morpho‐domains as a function of their respective surface.
