Flood-driven hydraulic-habitat indicators reveal geomorphic associations and functional complementarity across Contrasting River morphologies

Riverine topographic diversity is widely associated with spatial and temporal variation in hydraulic habitat under flood disturbance. Yet, most existing habitat assessments remain limited to static or quasi-steady flow conditions, restricting the development of indicators that ca...

Enzyme-mimicking peripheral substituents beyond the second coordination sphere tune single-atom catalysts for periodate activation

Abstract Single-atom catalysts (SACs) are promising enzyme-mimetic active centers, yet mimicking long-range regulation by distal binding pockets in natural metalloenzymes remains challenging. Here, we synthesize conjugated organic SACs bearing tunable peripheral substituents beyo...

Fine-Scale Assessment of Inequalities in Emergency Shelter Accessibility Using the 3SFCA Method: A Focus on Distributional Balance and Lower-Tail Welfare

With climate change and urbanization accelerating, cities face increasing disaster risks. As critical facilities for safeguarding residents’ safety, emergency shelters have attracted growing attention due to spatial supply–demand mismatches. From the perspective of the 15-min com...

A Data-Driven Framework for Characterizing Nonlinear Responses of River Ice Growth and Decay in the Shisifenzi Reach of the Upper Yellow River

The Shisifenzi Reach, with its sharp curvature, serves as a prime observational target for river ice research in the Upper Yellow River. Using six winter seasons (2020–2026) of monitoring data, this study developed a Random Forest with SHAP and Accumulated Local Effects (ALE) to...

Material Controls on Landslide-Dam Breach Evolution and Hydrograph Response: A Review

Landslide-dam breaching can generate short-lived, high-magnitude outburst floods, but breach hydrograph prediction remains limited by uncertainty in dam material properties. This review synthesises experimental, field, and modelling evidence through a process chain-linking grain-...

Numerical and Physical-Model Investigation of Landslide-Generated Surge Waves from a Localized Unstable Zone in the Yangqu Canyon Reservoir: Wave Generation and Propagation

Surge waves generated by rapid landslide entry into canyon reservoirs can threaten near-dam hydraulic structures. This study examines a representative post-failure hydrodynamic scenario for the localized unstable Zone B of the No. 1 deformation body slope near Yangqu Hydropower S...
