Kinship and reproduction: A perspective of the Akha in Laos

The Australian Journal of Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract Drawing on fieldwork among the Akha people in Phongsaly District, Phongsaly Province, northern Laos, this paper examines Akha patrilineal kinship and its links to reproduction. The Akha people's reproductive decisions and behaviours are shaped by patrilineality, ancestral connections and cultural–spiritual perceptions of reproduction, which ...

Ocean-bottom seismometers document how submarine landslides develop and grow

Communications Earth & Environment
Submarine landslides reshape seafloor geomorphology, transport sediment and carbon to the deep-sea, and can trigger tsunamis or damage valuable seabed infrastructure. Yet, submarine landslides have never been directly observed in action. Here, we present

Recognizing Our Role in Reframing Disaster and Emergency Management Terminology to Enhance Human Agency and Responsibility

Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 7, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract This work addresses the critical issue of science literacy and science communication for scientists, researchers, officials, organizations, and the general public. Effective communication and trust between these groups are essential, particularly as the severity and scope of disasters continue to increase.

A Field Guide to Corralling the Chaos: A Planning Framework for Using Models to Guide Opportunistic Field Studies of Natural Disturbances

Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 7, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Watersheds regulate biogeochemical processes and provide ecosystem services to human societies, but disturbances can fundamentally alter these processes across space and time. Determining when and where to sample to capture disturbance impacts in watersheds remains a central challenge.

Submarine‐channel meandering reset by landslide filling, Taranaki Basin, New Zealand

The Depositional Record
Landslides are among the largest mass movements on Earth. As such, the deposits of landslides, also known as mass‐transport deposits, are significant architectural elements of continental margins, especially those receiving sediment from large deltas ...

Seafloor Subsidence Evaluation Due to Hydrate Depressurization Recovery in the Shenhu Area, South China Sea

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Submarine hydrate mining can trigger geological disasters, including submarine landslides and seafloor subsidence due to excess pore pressure and weakened layers, which may potentially lead to the reactivation of faults and increased seismic activity ...

Influence of Site Amplification Approaches in PSRA: Insights From Five Different Cities

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
Regional and national seismic hazard models used in probabilistic seismic risk analysis often rely on generalized proxy‐based site terms to account for ground shaking amplification. This can result in coarse representations of site response, which can introduce bias or additional uncertainty in the associated risk results.

The 2025 Kamchatka Earthquake and Tsunami: Cascading Impacts and Risks to Japan

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2837-2854, September 2026.
ABSTRACT On July 29th, 2025, a large earthquake (Mw 8.8) occurred near the Kamchatka Peninsula. This event caused a tsunami that reached Japan's Pacific coast, even though the source was far away. In this study, we analyze the characteristics of earthquakes and tsunamis and discuss how they relate to the recurrence possibility and risk in Japan.

Responses of wind turbine foundations in sand subjected to submarine landslides

Yantu gongcheng xuebao
The submarine landslides are massive underwater sediment movements on the ocean floor and can pose significant threats to offshore structures. Understanding the mechanism of submarine landslide-offshore structure interaction is essential for risk ...
