International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Design optimization for automatically generating optimal design results is a promising technique for enhancing the efficiency of design processes and outcomes. However, its development for soil nail reinforced slopes is limited since the traditional slope stability analysis using the limit equilibrium method (LEM) becomes relatively time ...

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Lions (Panthera leo) are apex predators with a well‐documented influence on ecological dynamics, yet their potential role as bone‐accumulating agents remains poorly understood and often debated. Previous taphonomic studies have largely attributed bone accumulations in African savannah ecosystems to other carnivores, such as spotted hyenas ...

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.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 ...

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The amount and stratigraphic setting of ground ice in permafrost slopes is a key control on the style and magnitude of permafrost mass wasting. Understanding the spatial and stratigraphic variations in ground ice distribution on permafrost slopes is therefore a fundamental property in assessing the stability of permafrost hillslopes.

The stratospheric gravity wave field produced by a supercell
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Supercells are a class of long‐lasting thunderstorms with rotating updrafts that often cause severe weather, hail, and tornadoes. This study uses numerical simulations to characterize the stratospheric gravity waves that are caused by these storms.

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Based on turbulence diagnostics, airlines are willing to avoid up to 15% of the airspace in order to avoid a fraction of turbulence that takes up about 0.1% of the airspace. This study quantifies these three fractions using turbulence reports from commercial aircraft and ERA5 reanalysis diagnostics, revealing that the low and regionally variable ...
