    “Postfire debris flow occurrence varies widely in mountainous landscapes, even under similar rainfall conditions. To understand why, [the authors] investigated two burned landscapes that experienced intense postfire rainfall: one in southern California with over 100 postfire debris flows and one in northern California with no postfire debris flows. Debris flows can initiate from bed failures that are predicted to occur when Shields stress τ* exceeds a threshold. [They] characterized τ* at the two sites, investigated bed failure, and conducted numerical experiments to identify controlling factors. Postfire increases in clear-water runoff raised τ* by up to threefold, whereas postfire reductions in channel grain size raised τ* by two orders of magnitude. No increase in runoff was required to initiate debris flows at the southern California site, yet debris flows were unlikely to initiate at the northern California site even for considerable increases in runoff. These results provide a mechanistic explanation for discrepancies in debris flow occurrence in mountainous landscapes…”

  8. Where High Rents Drive People Into Poverty

    A new study identified 10 locations where higher-than-average housing costs have impacted poverty the most.

    By Elizabeth A. Harris, Sept. 29, 2026,

    "The #HousingShortage in the United States not only drives up rents, it is also a significant driver of poverty, according to a new study released by the Pew Charitable Trust on Tuesday.

    "The study examined parts of the country where lowering home prices would lift a significant number of people out of poverty — similar in effect to a major anti-poverty program — at a moment when the national conversation around housing has gained urgency at every level of government.

    "The analysis found that in nine states and Washington, D.C., poverty rates are 16 to 34 percent higher than they would be if housing costs were the same as the national average. Most of those states are on the East Coast — #NewJersey, #Massachusetts, #Maryland, #Connecticut, #NewYork and #NewHampshire. #Hawaii, #California and #Colorado also made the list. The analysis was based on research by Zachary Parolin, a professor at the University of Oxford, who examined census data to determine the states where housing costs contributed to the greatest share of poverty.

    "In New Hampshire, the poverty rate, as defined by the federal poverty line, is 16 percent higher than it would be with average housing costs. In Hawaii, the poverty rate is 34 percent higher. In most states included in the study, the rate of child poverty was even more elevated."
