Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 19, 16 October 2025.Abstract Infrasound microbarometers deployed on the Earth's surface capture pressure fluctuations and acoustic signatures, revealing trends in surface wind speed and cycles in ambient sound. Previous studies investigated wind noise trends at quarter day resolution and urban acoustic background variations on hourly to weekly scales. Cyclic variations at

Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, September/October 2025.Abstract As part of a collaboration between the United States and Israel, we are investigating the viability of subsurface spent nuclear fuel (SNF) disposal in the Negev Desert, Israel. The proposed SNF disposal concept consists of a field of intermediate‐depth boreholes (IDBs) completed to a depth of ∼300 m within the vadose zone.

Decompression of magma into repository tunnels [PDF]
, 2002 It is nontrivial to find and design safe repository sites for nuclear waste. It appears common sense to drill tunnels as repository sites in a mountain in remote and relatively dry regions.

Twenty‐Five Years of Probabilistic Fault Displacement Hazard Assessment
Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 3, September 2025.Abstract Fault displacement hazard poses significant risks to critical infrastructure such as buildings, roads, and pipelines. While some structures can tolerate a certain degree of surface displacement, others, such as buildings, are far more vulnerable. Probabilistic Fault Displacement Hazard Assessment (PFDHA) quantifies the probability of exceeding

Community Science, Volume 4, Issue 3, September 2025.Abstract This research aims to understand how frontline communities and community‐based organizations (CBOs) that serve them conceptualize themselves, their communities, success, and their needs. Frontline communities experience the “first and worst” impacts of climate change due to industrialization, pollution, changing ecosystems, and other societal ...

Statistical analysis of hydrologic data for Yucca Mountain; Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project [PDF]
, 1992 The geologic formations in the unsaturated zone at Yucca Mountain are currently being studied as the host rock for a potential radioactive waste repository. Data from several drill holes have been collected to provide the preliminary information needed for planning site characterization for the Yucca Mountain Project.
