Since the times of the Incas, farmers in the remote Andes of Peru have constructed terraces to grow crops in a landscape characterized by steep slopes, semiarid climate, and landslide geohazards. Recent investigations have concluded that terracing an...
The study of vertebrate palaeontology in the United Kingdom holds a significant position in global research. This study conducts a comprehensive bibliometric analysis and topic modelling of UK vertebrate palaeontology from 2014 to 2023, utilizing dat...
Bottom-grab samplers have long been the standard to describe nearshore marine habitats both qualitatively and quantitively. However, sediment samplers are designed to collect specific grain sizes and therefore have biases toward those sediments. Here...
Seismic risk expresses the expected degree of damage and loss following a catastrophic event. An efficient tool for assessing the seismic risk of embankments is fragility curves. This research investigates the influence of embankment’s geometry...
Human habitat is much controlled by the landscape and its ongoing processes overtime. Some of these processes occur instantaneously and are often triggered by seismic events with a major destructive impact on the human-built environment. Helike, on t...
The present article is devoted to the issue of studying the patterns of displacement of superincumbent rock over panels of a mine obtained using advanced seismic technologies, allowing for the study of the boundaries of caving zones in the depths of...
Recent advancements in seismic data analysis have enhanced our grasp of the seismic heterogeneities near the core–mantle boundary (CMB). Through seismic tomography, persistent lower-mantle structures like the large low shear velocity provinces...
Monitoring crude oil spills in coastal areas is challenging due to limitations in traditional in situ methods. Electrical resistivity imaging (ERI) offers a high-resolution approach to monitoring the subsurface spatial distribution of crude oil, but...
An earthquake is the most destructive natural phenomenon, with its sudden onset and rapid spread impacting large areas. Among the various geohazards, seismic ones dominate in terms of their social and economic effects on human life and the urban envi...
Ground liquefaction potential analysis is a fundamental characterization in areas with continuous seismic activity, such as Ecuador. Geotechnical liquefaction studies are usually approached from dynamic penetration tests, which pose problems both in...
