Uneven Impacts of Seawall Heightening on Tsunami Risk Reduction under Rising Sea Levels: Probabilistic Scenarios from the Japan Trench

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2948-2965, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Disasters exacerbated by climate change have prompted adaptation measures, including seawall heightening, which is an effective approach to protecting coastal areas. However, the combined effect of rising sea levels and tsunamis can create a compound coastal hazard, in which long‐term sea level rise amplifies the impact of tsunamis.

Submarine Landslides Could Cause Wide‐Spread Tsunami Impact in the East Sea (Sea of Japan)

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The East Sea (Sea of Japan) is a seismically active back‐arc basin with a history of devastating tsunamis, yet regional hazard assessments and mitigation planning often overlook the tsunamigenic potential of submarine landslides. This study investigates the tsunami impact of large‐scale mass failures along the southwest (SW) margin of the East

Sea‐Level Change in Hong Kong From Tide Gauges, GNSS, and Satellite Altimetry

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract As a densely populated, highly urbanized coastal city, Hong Kong is particularly vulnerable to sea‐level rise, which amplifies flood risk and threatens coastal infrastructure, economies, and ecosystems. We combine observations from tide gauges, conventional gridded satellite altimetry, coastal‐retracked altimetry, and Global Navigation ...

Determining the utility of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology for disaster victim identification (DVI)

Journal of Forensic Sciences, Volume 71, Issue 5, Page 2268-2285, September 2026.
Abstract Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology was evaluated as a method for electronically tracking human remains and associated identifying information during mass fatality incidents. Conventional tags are prone to physical damage and failure, which can compromise identification processes and hinder the repatriation of bodies.

Vernacular Flood Resilience: Constructive and Spatial Responses to Hydro‐Climatic Hazards in Seven Water‐Based Settlements

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
This study of seven vernacular water‐based settlements identifies six recurring flood resilience patterns showing how spatial organization, repairable construction, material renewal, and collective governance respond to flood‐related hazards and support long‐term coexistence with water.
