Contemporary disasters may not kill more women than men: an empirical inquiry into sex‐differentiated fatalities in the twenty‐first century

open access: yesDisasters, Volume 50, Issue 3, July 2026.
Abstract This study investigates the claim that women are disproportionately more likely to die in disasters by reviewing existing data sources and compiling new datasets on sex‐differentiated disaster fatalities in the twenty‐first century. The analysis is structured by disaster type, covering geophysical, meteorological, climatological, hydrological,

Differences in Lightning—Storm Microphysical Relationships in Subtropical South America Versus the Continental U.S. and Their Impact on Model Lightning Parameterizations

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Satellite studies have shown that some of the deepest convection with high lightning flash rates occurs downstream of the Andes in subtropical South America (SSA). Using high resolution ground‐based observations in SSA, we explore the relationship between lightning and radar‐inferred storm microphysics.

Spatial relationship of turfgrass tissue nitrogen content and several vegetation indices on sand‐capped golf course fairways

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Vegetation indices (VIs), such as normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), are widely used to assess nitrogen (N) status in crop systems and are gaining interest in turfgrass management. However, most studies have been conducted in controlled settings, and their relevance under real‐world golf course conditions remains unclear.

Passive Acoustic Monitoring and Deep Learning Reveal a Lag From Rainfall to Gibbon Song Across a Mosaic Forest Landscape

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
We deployed passive acoustic monitoring across three forest types in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, and applied a pretrained deep learning automated detector to identify 83,956 Bornean white‐bearded gibbon (Hylobates albibarbis) great call vocalisations over 18 months.
