Functional and Taxonomic Structuring of Ground‐Dwelling Spider Communities Under the Combined Effects of the Environment and Metal Contamination

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Through a field study along a metal contamination gradient, we propose a combined application of taxonomic and functional approaches to study the impacts of contamination on polyphagous predators, spiders. We have demonstrated a significant impact of metal contamination on spider communities, although it operates among a set of variables (e.g ...

A Novel Multilevel Conceptual Framework for Flood Risk Governance

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, Volume 36, Issue 4, Page 855-870, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Globally, flood risk is increasing as climate change progresses. Contemporary flood risk management practice often utilises hydrodynamic modelling (for hazard risk assessments), social vulnerability assessments, and risk communications in silo, which fragments evidence‐based decision‐making for effective flood risk management. We hence develop

Assessments of Liquefaction Triggering and Manifestation at Three Case History Sites in Napier Based on 1931 Hawke's Bay, New Zealand, Earthquake

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
The 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake (∼MS 7.8) stands as one of New Zealand's most devastating, causing widespread liquefaction and damage across the city of Napier. However, Napier remains underrepresented in liquefaction hazard studies as compared to other regions in the country.

Development of Liquefaction‐Targeted Design Basis in U.S. Seismic Provisions

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
Seismic design criteria for new buildings in the United States have historically focused on life safety performance objectives through minimizing the potential for structural collapse. Development of design criteria to meet this performance objective has evolved over time, leading to the current, risk‐targeted maximum considered earthquake (MCER ...
