Investigation of water induced damages triggered by rainfall in east Gansu and the implications

Zhongguo dizhi zaihai yu fangzhi xuebao, 2022
Flood-induced disaster caused by rainfall in loess area often occurs, causing serious engineering disasters and casualties. The investigation and cause analysis of existing flood-induced disaster can provide experience for disaster prevention and control

Global patterns of treeline predictability and the gap between the forest and the treeline

Ecography, EarlyView.
The alpine treeline is the highest elevation at which trees can grow, which is assumed to be controlled by temperature and globally predictable. However, many upper forest limits (UFLs) do not reach this elevation, due natural factors and human disturbance.

Selected Physical and Geotechnical Properties of Loess in Wairarapa Valley, New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 4, December 2026.
Loess up to 10 m thick covers marine terraces, old river aggradation terraces, and gentle hill country slopes in Wairarapa, New Zealand. In the drier eastern and southern parts of Wairarapa, the loess is subject to dry summer and autumn and wet winter and spring in most years.

Applied Numerical Modelling of Landscape Evolution in Anthropogenic Landscapes: A Systematic Review

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 9, September 2026.
This systematic review examines how landscape evolution models have been applied to analyse long‐term change in anthropogenic landscapes. The review evaluates modelling approaches, applications, limitations and key knowledge gaps to assess the potential of these models for long‐term landscape and risk management.

Plants Uptake Substantial Water From the Surface Organic Layer in Highly Permeable Karst Critical Zones

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Plants growing in highly permeable karst critical zones are exposed to shallow soils and rapid hydrological turnover. The surface organic layer is recognized as a key ecohydrological interface in these environments, yet its direct contribution to plant water uptake has rarely been quantified.

Loess Studies in Aotearoa New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
Loess in Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ) has been studied since its first documented recognition (on Banks Peninsula) in 1878 by Julius von Haast. A decade later, John Hardcastle revealed that southern ANZ loess was both glacial in origin and contained signals of past climates.

Source Parameters of the 1906 Manas (Mw 7.7), 1944 Xinyuan (Mw 7.2) and 1812 Nilke Earthquakes and Seismotectonics of the Borohoro Shan, Western China

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The 1906 Manas Earthquake is the largest earthquake recorded in the Borohoro Shan (BRS) since 1900. The reported magnitude ranges from 7.2 to 8.3, but uncertainties remain regarding its size, mechanism, and responsible fault. Similar confusion exists for the 1812 Nilke and 1944 Xinyuan Earthquakes, the only other Mw > 7 earthquakes in the NE ...

Permafrost Mass Wasting in Ice‐Rich Landscapes: Recent Advances (2013 to 2024) on Mechanisms, Dynamics and Impacts

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, Volume 37, Issue 2, Page 284-304, April/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Across circumpolar permafrost regions, climate change is destabilizing ice‐rich hillslopes, increasing the frequency and magnitude of thaw‐driven mass wasting. This paper reviews recent studies (2013–2024) on thaw‐driven mass wasting, focusing on the processes, morphology and trajectories of geomorphic change and their implications for ...

State-of-the-Art Seismic Studies of Loess Tunnels in China

Advances in Civil Engineering
Large earthquakes occur frequently around the world. Due to the fragility of loess, the effects of seismic events on loess tunnel projects have received considerable in-depth research attention.

Holocene Normal Faulting in the Southern Rocky Mountain Trench; Orogenic Collapse Modulated by Glacial Unloading?

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The Southern Rocky Mountain Trench (SRMT) is a conspicuous valley in the eastern Canadian Cordillera. It lies above a sharp change in lithospheric strength and thickness and is occupied by a normal fault thought to have last been active in the Eocene.
