ゴメスの新しい本がSPRINGERで出版される：Sabo: sediment geo-hazards in Japan
About this book Because science has grown in specialized silos, multi-hazards and hazards that cross spaces and scales remain under-represented in the academic literature. Recent books on the sediment cascade have begun to address this, yet they remain organized around particular sets of processes, and the boundaries of academic specialty still bound their approaches. This…

地形学会大会２０２６年
京都大学に行われた地形学会大会で発表と様々な議論が出来ました。 南淡路島の崖が地層と他の内部構造の影響で浸食率をコントロールする。ドローンSfMとSLAMライダの方法でこの影響を定量的理に諮りました。 安部川の河口に広がっている砂礫砂州の移動と波の影響で過去の砂礫砂州地形を消しているですが、地中レーダデータを利用したところ、前の地形が部分ずつ保存されている。内部構造と粒径分布の違いで、これからの浸食と砂礫砂州移動にも影響を起こすでしょう。
新論文（IF8.7）Ecological restoration reorganizes climate–runoff pathways in the Yellow River Basin

Ecological Indicators, 189, 115203. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolind.2026.115203 Abstract Vegetation restoration is reshaping dryland river basins, yet its hydrological consequences remain uncertain because greening can both…
新論文 Oxford Encyclopedia Entry Published （2026）
Unearthing the Genesis of Academic Knowledge and Disaster Risk Reduction Christopher Gomez https://doi.org/10.1093/9780197851487.003.0625 Structures governing academic knowledge are arguably incompatible with the genuine needs of disaster risk reduction (DRR) and the development of community and bottom-up knowledge and knowledge structure. Early-21st-century universities can trace their origin back to the medieval Christian institutions to which they…

Public Speech 11/7/2026: Sustainable Coastal Cities in the face of Earthquakes and Climate Change 講義：地震と気候変動に立ち向かうサステナブルな沿岸都市
Saturday 11th July 2026 (令和8年７月１１日土曜日）Prof. Gomez gives the talk for the 12th Science Conference in Hyogo at the 100 years commemoration Hall of Kobe University. Link To the Presentation パワポへのリンク(click me) 要約:歴史を通じて、世界各地の都市は海や水路に沿って築かれてきた。それらが輸送・交流・商業への容易なアクセスをもたらしてきたからである。しかし、「ブルーエッジ」——陸と水の境界——での暮らしは、河川の氾濫、高潮、津波をはじめとする数多くの危険と災害リスクを伴う（2011年の東北、2024年の能登における地震と津波、そして2018年に関西を襲った台風21号〔ジェビ〕などがその例である）。日本において、これらの課題は、気候変動と地震に伴う地盤の隆起・沈降という複合的な圧力のもとで、単に深刻化するだけでなく、その性質そのものが大きく変容しようとしている。本講演では、日本の沿岸都市を切り口に、2011年のニュージーランド・クライストチャーチ地震、2024年の能登半島地震、そして2017年の朝倉（北部九州）における豪雨土砂災害を例に取りながら、これらの危険性を考察する。気候変動・地震活動・沿岸部の曝露（エクスポージャー）が交差するところで、自然災害と災害リスクが依然として過小評価されているのはなぜか、その実態と要因を明らかにしたい。
