Human health and wellbeing are intimately linked to the state of the environment [...]
Characterizing the top seal integrity of organic-rich caprock shale is critical in hydrocarbon exploration and fluid storage sites assessment because the caprock acts as a barrier to the low-density upward migrating fluids. This study investigated th...
Urban communities’ perceptions about flood disasters can help better understand the resilience level of specific communities. This paper examines community-specific flood resilience by looking at Sri Lanka’s most flood-prone areas: the Ko...
Serious deficiencies in ground characterization, analysis and design at engineering works can occur when working with bimrocks (block-in-matrix rocks) and bimsoils (block-in-matrix soils). Since the 1990s, serious technical problems at engineering wo...
Slope failures in roadway embankments are common occurrences and can lead to traffic disruptions and large costs to repair damage. In areas with high-plasticity clays, special attention must be paid to characterizing both the stratigraphy and the pot...
The topographic slope method is an innovative, fast and very low-cost technique for estimating the average S-wave velocity in the upper 30 m (Vs30) based on the relationship between this quantity and the slope of the ground, obtained using a Digital...
The tectonic evolution of the Siberian Cratonic margins offers important clues for global paleogeographic reconstructions, particularly with regard to the complex geological history of Central Asia and Precambrian supercontinents Columbia/Nuna and Ro...
The application of ultra-high spatial resolution imagery from small unpiloted aerial systems (sUAS) can provide valuable information about the status of built infrastructure following natural disasters. This study employs three methods for improving...
During the last glacial, Dansgaard–Oeschger (DO) events are mostly characterized by moderate and shorter fluctuations. Here, we present the three-year-resolution stalagmite isotopic record from Shouyuangong Cave (SYG), southern China, revealing...
Arabian Shield occupying the western part of the Arabian Peninsula is an area where strong heterogeneities in crustal structures are associated with several factors, such as an ongoing rifting process in the Red Sea basin, massive recent effusive vol...
