Rainfall-induced landslides and debris flows in Chieng So commune, Son La Province, Vietnam - Tran Trung Hieu; Łukasz Pawlik; Nguyen Cong Quan; Pham Van Tien (Landslides, 2026)
On 26 July 2025, a short-duration, high-intensity rainfall event occurred in Chieng So Commune and its surrounding areas of Son La Province, Vietnam. The rainfall was mainly concentrated between 14:00 and 22:00 local time, with a total accumulation of 145.8 mm, accounting for more than 63.8% of the total rainfall recorded during the event period (19–26 July). This event triggered 1885 landslides within an area of approximately 408 km 2 . Using the landslide inventory, analysis of the landslide mobility shows that most landslides have a height-to-travel-distance ratio below 1, indicating high mobility. Landslides are mainly located near ridgelines or streams, which is different from some regions worldwide where they mostly occur close to streams. The probability of landslides exceeding 500 m 2 , 2000 m 2 , and 10,000 m 2 is 89.1%, 39.2%, and 8%, respectively. To evaluate the influence of antecedent rainfall variables on landslide occurrence, antecedent rainfall predictors were derived by identifying rainfall events, alongside topographic and geological predictors, to train an Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGB) model using spatial cross-validation with different block sizes. The results indicate that a 2000 m block size provides an appropriate compromise, balancing the reduction of spatial dependence with the need to maintain stable and reliable model performance. Lithology, dominated by strongly weathered granite or volcanic rock formations, is the most influential factor for landslide prediction, with a mean SHAP value of 0.25, followed by 8-h antecedent rainfall (0.18), slope (0.08) and 87-h antecedent rainfall (0.04). Furthermore, centered ALE values increase significantly when antecedent rainfall accumulations over 8 h and 87 h reach approximately 75 mm and 125 mm, respectively. These values are specific to the analyzed events and reflect model-derived statistical thresholds rather than absolute physical triggering limits. By integrating rainfall analysis, landslide geometric characteristics, and machine learning, this study offers important insights for rainfall-induced landslides, improving hazard reduction strategies and early warning systems.

Plugging mechanism and application of dynamic-water grouting with EPEM-modified materials - Xiang Ruan; Xinghua Fang; Shuangqiao Zhan; Cong Zhang; Yuncai Chen (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2026)
Gushing water disasters pose a significant challenge to safe tunnel construction in coastal karst areas. Understanding the grouting plugging mechanism is crucial for effectively preventing and controlling gushing water in these regions. However, existing grouting plugging mechanisms primarily focus on non-expansive slurries and lack adequate guidance for self-expanding materials. To address this gap, this study first develops a theoretical model for Expanded Polyethylene Modified (EPEM) grouting plugging and derives the plugging criterion formula for controlling gushing water with EPEM. Laboratory experiments on grouting plugging for karst pipeline gushing water are then conducted to validate the feasibility and practicality of the EPEM theoretical model. Finally, the research outcomes are applied to a tunnel project in a coastal karst area, where grouting parameters calculated based on the theoretical model successfully achieve effective gushing water plugging. These results indicate that the water-plugging theory of EPEM grout has strong engineering applicability and can support the resilience enhancement of coastal karst tunnel infrastructure.

Regionalization of global ground-motion models with partial non-ergodicity based on hierarchical Bayesian approach: a study in Turkey - Mao-Xin Wang; Zhi-Ping Deng; Wei Wang; Cong Miao; Yuan Tian (Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering, 2026)
Global ground-motion models (GMMs) may have unsatisfactory performance in predicting intensity measures (IMs) in specific regions, due to regional differences in seismological and geological conditions. This paper presents a hierarchical Bayesian approach for regionalizing global GMMs with partial non-ergodicity. Prior information, such as a GMM calibrated with substantial global data, is integrated with regional ground-motion data to derive posterior inferences for model coefficients and residual components. Compared to the mixed-effects regression method, hierarchical Bayesian updating can reasonably quantify uncertainty across varying regional data sizes, enabling statistically explainable forward predictions in data-scarce regions. To partially relax the ergodic assumption, the total residual is decomposed into between-event, site-to-site, and within-event single-site components, thus capturing repeatable site effects at individual strong-motion stations. The Bayesian approach is applied to predict spectral acceleration ( SA ) at periods from 0.01 to 10 s, peak ground acceleration ( PGA ), and peak ground velocity ( PGV ) of vertical ground-motion components in Turkey by regionalizing an extensively used global GMM. The results show that the updated GMM offers advantages in representing non-ergodicity, improving predictive accuracy, and enhancing applicability, compared to the global GMM and existing local GMMs. The global model tends to overestimate ground motion intensities especially in moderate earthquake magnitudes. Furthermore, the effects of prior variances and data quantity are investigated to provide insights into Bayesian modeling strategies. Also, the correlations among SA , PGA , and PGV for vertical, horizontal, and mixed component pairs in Turkey are quantified for the first time, thereby enabling vector-valued IM characterization for three-component ground motions.

Fish diversity and community turnover across protection zones in multiuse marine protected areas - Xu Zeng; Cong Zeng; Yongfeng Zhou; Yue Liu; Zheying Lin; Jihao Peng; Yihui Jiang; Han Dong; Guodong Li; Shuangzhao Li; Hengyu Li; Ling Cao (Conservation Biology, 2026)
Multiuse marine protected areas (MMPAs) with varying levels of protection in different zones are increasingly being adopted to balance conservation and socioeconomic goals. However, the effect of these zone‐based strategies on fish diversity is not well understood. We used environmental DNA surveys across zones with different protection levels (fully protected, highly protected, and lightly protected) in three typical Chinese MMPAs, while controlling for environmental factors and human activities, to examine fish species composition and richness among zones. Contrary to expectations, sites with high levels of protection had lower fish species richness than sites with lower levels of protection. Turnover in community composition between fully protected and less protected zones was 88.4% and accounted for 96.4% of pairwise dissimilarities. Rather than diminishing the importance of high‐level protection, our results showed that a tiered zoning approach can sustain fish species richness and limit biotic homogenization. Our results challenge the assumption that strict protection universally leads to high species richness and demonstrate that nuanced multilevel protection zoning may be more effective at preserving marine biodiversity and ecosystem functions at broader spatial scales.

Water Injection Failure of Full-Ocean-Depth Adjustable Ballast System: Mechanism Analysis and Experimental Verification - Zhida Chen; Sheng Zhou; Jize Jiang; Linglong Li; Cong Ye; Shuai Liu; Defa Wu; Yunxiang Ma; Lang Gu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
Reliable operation of adjustable ballast systems is essential for full-ocean-depth manned submersibles, but existing studies mostly focus on component-level performance optimization, leaving the multi-valve coupled instability mechanism under ultra-high pressure insufficiently understood. This paper investigates an uncontrolled water injection failure in the adjustable ballast system of the “Fendouzhe” submersible via fault tree analysis, high-pressure physical tests and AMESim dynamic simulations. Results show that the initial fit clearance of the downstream flow valve is the dominant prerequisite for instability, and a fluid–structure interaction positive feedback loop between the series valve assembly drives the flow surge fault. Removing the series flow valve fundamentally interrupts the coupling feedback loop. Full-range 0–115 MPa bench tests and follow-up sea trials confirm that the modified system eliminates the observed flow surge within the tested pressure range and operating conditions. This work provides a practical diagnostic framework and engineering reference for reliability design of high-pressure seawater hydraulic systems.

Autonomous Approach and Stable Tracking of Dynamic Target for Intelligent Ship Using Recurrent Soft Actor-Critic - Zixuan Qiu; Shaosong Min; Cong Liu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
Dynamic target tracking is a challenging task for autonomous ships due to the continuous variation of relative motion states and the requirement for coordinated control of position, heading, and speed. This paper proposes a task-oriented continuous decision-making framework based on Soft Actor-Critic (SAC) reinforcement learning for the autonomous approach and stable following of dynamic target vessels. A finite-history-enhanced SAC framework is developed by incorporating LSTM-based sequence encoding into the policy and value networks to capture recent evolution patterns of target motion and own-ship maneuvering responses. Furthermore, a sector-annular tracking region defined by distance and relative bearing constraints is constructed and a multi-component reward function is designed to integrate distance convergence, heading adjustment, region maintenance, speed matching, and control smoothness into policy learning. Simulation experiments under straight-line motion, curved motion, and randomized initial conditions demonstrate that the proposed SAC-LSTM method achieves improved task completion capability and control quality compared with SAC, PPO, and DDPG under the same task settings. Compared with standard SAC, SAC-LSTM improves the average success rate by 7.5 percentage points, reduces the average episode length by approximately 22.0%, and decreases the average heading error by approximately 35.5%. Additional sequence-length analysis, reward-component ablation, and multi-level disturbance tests further validate the effectiveness of the proposed design. The results indicate that the proposed method provides an effective solution for continuous decision-making in dynamic target tracking tasks.

Advanced Sea Chest Geometries for Enhanced Thermal Deicing in Polar Navigation Ships - Qijun Ma; Yujin Cong; Shuai Huang; Ping Yi (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
Polar navigation demands robust thermal management systems to prevent ice blocking in seawater cooling systems, which is critical for polar navigation. Current anti-icing architectures for disperse ice regions cannot make full use of thermal deicing, resulting in insufficient heat transfer and severe mechanical energy losses in dense ice regions, which eventually cause seawater system ice blockage. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is employed to investigate the underlying mechanisms of mechanical ice blockage and thermal deicing performance, and the mutual inhibition mechanism between geometric and thermal deicing is elucidated. Two alternative geometric designs for enhanced thermal deicing efficiency are proposed, i.e., a looped flow structure and a curved porous partition. Computational results demonstrate that both designs can maintain the thermal deicing efficiency at 100% with minimal head losses. Mechanistically, these configurations suppress the “short-circuiting” of hot reflux and prolong the heat exchange duration. The findings successfully resolve the intrinsic trade-off between geometric anti-icing performance and thermal deicing efficiency, thereby providing valuable theoretical insights and engineering guidance for cooling system design operating in ice-covered waters.

Heat stress negatively affects the growth and health of fish. In this study, Eurasian perch ( Perca fluviatilis ) were exposed to control (18°C, CK) and heat stress (25°C, HS) conditions. Using liver transcriptomics and metabolomics in conjunction with physiological and biochemical indicators, we investigated the mechanisms underlying their thermal response. The results revealed that heat stress in P. fluviatilis led to liver cell damage, characterized by vacuolar degeneration and inflammatory cell infiltration. Heat stress caused a fluctuating decrease in superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, a significant reduction in catalase (CAT) activity ( p P. fluviatilis . This study provides a basis for understanding the hepatic responses of temperate freshwater fish to elevated temperatures.
