Stabilization of Shallow Landslides Induced by Rainwater Infiltration—A Case Study from Northern Croatia

Geotechnics
Climate change brings with it phenomena such as large amounts of rainfall in short periods. Infiltration of rainwater into clayey soils is a common trigger for shallow landslides on slopes.

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

Earth 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

Centrifuge Modeling of Failure Behaviors and Mechanical Response of Bridge Piers on High Expansive Soil Slopes

Applied Sciences
To address the stability issues of bridge piers on high expansive soil slopes in the Yangtze-Huaihe River Water Transfer Project and reveal the slope-bridge structure interaction mechanism, this study performed 100 g geotechnical centrifuge model tests ...

Bayesian Inference of Complex Stress Evolution in Rate‐and‐State Governed Faults Constrained by Seismicity Rate Observations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Temporal changes in seismicity rates can be conceptually understood as a response and consequence of stress changes. Dieterich (1994, https://doi.org/10.1029/93JB02581) formalized this relationship using empirically derived rate‐and‐state friction laws, and Heimisson and Segall (2018, https://doi.org/10.1029/2018JB015656) later generalized the

Seismic Characteristics of the Gas Hydrate System in the Mackenzie Trough of the Canadian Beaufort Sea, Arctic Ocean

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract We present a comprehensive seismic characterization of the gas hydrate system in the outer continental shelf of the Mackenzie Trough, Canadian Beaufort Sea, based on recently acquired multichannel seismic (MCS) data, P‐wave velocity modeling, and 3D thermal modeling. We identified high‐amplitude, reverse‐polarity Bottom‐Simulating Reflections (

Glacial Imprints and Marine Overprints: Sediment Architecture and Fjord Evolution in Fiordland, New Zealand

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Fjords are globally significant sedimentary archives that record the relationship between glacial, tectonic, and marine processes. Fiordland, on the southwest coast of New Zealand, hosts one of the most extensive temperate fjord provinces in the Southern Hemisphere, yet its postglacial evolution has remained poorly constrained.

Seismic Insights Into the Role of Rockfall in Rockslide Destruction Processes

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract The dynamic link between rockslide failure and rockfall activity remains elusive, primarily due to the challenge of detecting weak signals amidst high noise. We propose a seismic attribute guided deep learning framework that formulates rockfall detection as a time‐series segmentation task, facilitating the precise extraction of rockfall events

Assessing the Conservation Status, Drivers of Threat and Available Occurrence Records of Sub‐Saharan African Freshwater Molluscs: Gaps and Patterns

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 6, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Freshwater molluscs are key bioindicators of ecosystem health, yet their conservation status and data coverage in sub‐Saharan Africa remain poorly understood. Mollusca is the third most evaluated phylum on the IUCN Red List in Africa, with 1394 species assessed (656 freshwater), of which 39.6% are Least Concern and 12% Critically Endangered ...

Morpho‐structural analysis of impact craters on Pluto: Implications for the study of complex craters

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 8, Page 1950-1964, August 2026.
Abstract We used Pluto's global digital elevation model to automatically perform a morphometric analysis of impact craters. Triangular irregular networks (TINs) were generated for each crater, providing a detailed representation of crater topography and enabling more accurate morpho‐structural analysis. A dedicated toolkit generated radial profiles for

Seismic Risk of Critical Transport Systems: Sensitivity Analysis of the Campania Railway Network to Bradyseism's Features

Risk Analysis, Volume 46, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examines the impact of epistemic uncertainties on the seismic risk of a critical transport system, the Campania railway network, during the ongoing bradyseismic unrest at Campi Flegrei, south of Italy. Seismic risk is quantified as the length of the railway requiring post‐event inspection, an operational proxy for service disruption.
