A participatory approach to determine the use of road cut slope design guidelines in Nepal to lessen landslides (2025)
Journal Article
Robson, E. B., Dahal, B. K., & Toll, D. G. (2025). A participatory approach to determine the use of road cut slope design guidelines in Nepal to lessen landslides. Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 25(3), 949-973. https://doi.org/10.5194/nhess-25-949-2025

Road cut slope failures are a type of landslide process and are extensive across the road network of Nepal. In response to the pressing need for improved road cut slope design guidelines to help prevent these failures, this study employs a participat...

A robust Bayesian model to quantify and adjust for study quality and conflict of interest in meta-analyses (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Troffaes, M. C. M., Casini, L., Landes, J., & Sahlin, U. (2025, July). A robust Bayesian model to quantify and adjust for study quality and conflict of interest in meta-analyses. Presented at 14th International Symposium on Imprecise Probabilities: Theories and Applications, Bielefeld, Germany

Meta-analyses are vital for synthesizing evidence in medical research, but conflicts of interest can introduce research bias, undermining the reliability of the synthesized findings. This paper proposes a new robust Bayesian meta-analysis model. The... Read More about A robust Bayesian model to quantify and adjust for study quality and conflict of interest in meta-analyses.

A methodology to compile multi-hazard interrelationships in a data-scarce setting: an application to the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal (2025)
Journal Article
Thompson, H. E., Gill, J. C., Trogrlić, R. Š., Taylor, F. E., & Malamud, B. D. (2025). A methodology to compile multi-hazard interrelationships in a data-scarce setting: an application to the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal. Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 25(1), 353-381. https://doi.org/10.5194/nhess-25-353-2025

This paper introduces a multifaceted methodology to identify and compile single natural hazards and multi-hazard interrelationships within the context of data-scarce urban settings, exemplified by the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal. This approach integrates... Read More about A methodology to compile multi-hazard interrelationships in a data-scarce setting: an application to the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal.

‘A deep, empathetic, wondrous connection’: Autistic adults' definitions and experiences of nature connection (2025)
Journal Article
Friedman, S., McHaffie, S., Noble, R., & Stenning, A. (online). ‘A deep, empathetic, wondrous connection’: Autistic adults' definitions and experiences of nature connection. People and Nature, https://doi.org/10.1002/pan3.10779

Connection to nature is an important concept for understanding human‐nature relationships, interests in nature and pro‐environmental behaviours. However, conceptualisations of this relationship thus far have excluded autistic perspectives. Through th...

Beliefs that human distress may be caused by demon possession have a long history and are very common around the world. They have been the subject of research across multiple academic disciplines and are a topic of theological as well as medical and... Read More about Demon Possession, Theology, and Mental Health.

Electroweak corrections and EFT operators in W+W− production at the LHC (2024)
Journal Article
Banerjee, S., Reichelt, D., & Spannowsky, M. (2024). Electroweak corrections and EFT operators in W+W− production at the LHC. Physical Review D, 110(11), https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.110.115012

We investigate the impact of electroweak corrections and effective field theory operators on WþW− production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Utilizing the Standard Model effective-field theory (SMEFT) framework, we extend the Standard Model by in... Read More about Electroweak corrections and EFT operators in W+W− production at the LHC.

Cost–Benefit Analysis Methodology for Slope Stabilization Based on Probabilistic Stability Analyses (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Robson, E., Milledge, D., Utili, S., & Bründl, M. (2024, November). Cost–Benefit Analysis Methodology for Slope Stabilization Based on Probabilistic Stability Analyses. Presented at ICTG 2024, Sydney, Australia

It is best practice to evaluate the cost-efficiency of different road cut slope stabilization measures, prior to designing new cut slopes or stabilizing existing ones. This can be done by conducting a cost analysis. Most cost analysis methodologies r...
