This study evaluates landslide susceptibility in Hanang District, Manyara Region, Tanzania, using three approaches: Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), Frequency Ratio (FR), and Landslide Susceptibility Index. A total of 11 environmental and anthropoge...
The Central Mindoro Fault (CMF) is a major active oblique, sinistral strike-slip fault within the Philippine archipelago that accommodates the oblique convergence between the Philippine Sea Plate (PSP) and the Sunda Plate (SP). This study focused on...
Dynamic effects such as wind, traffic, and earthquakes can cause loss of life and property. Since tall buildings are more sensitive to these vibrations, vibration control is an important issue in civil engineering. In this study, the Adaptive Harmony...
Creep through mainly vertical displacement along en echelon ground ruptures within the creeping segment of the West Valley Fault (WVF) in the Luzon Island, Philippines, has been occurring since first documented in the 90s. It is believed to have been...
The impacts of climate change, including rising temperatures and severe droughts, have intensified wildfires globally, with increased frequency, severity, and extent. Forests reduce the occurrence of rockfalls and increase their intensity since the s...
The failure of large gravity dams during an earthquake could lead to calamitous flooding, severe infrastructural damage, and massive environmental destruction. This paper aims to demonstrate reliable methods for evaluating dam performance after a sei...
The Tokara Islands, a volcanic archipelago located south of Japan’s main islands, experienced earthquake swarm activity in 2025. Public concern has emerged regarding the potential triggering of the anticipated Nankai Trough earthquake, which th...
Both studies and conservation of mountain waters are essential because of the primary role of mountains as “natural water towers” for the preservation and optimized exploitation of water reserves. In particular, under climate change stres...
Tunnel linings play a vital role in underground infrastructure, yet their performance can be severely affected by pre-existing cracks. This study investigates the mechanical behavior and failure mechanisms of C30 concrete with artificial cracks under...
Geohazard investigation in volcanic fields is essential for understanding and mitigating risks associated with volcanic activity. Volcanic vents are often concealed by processes such as faulting, subsidence, or uplift, which complicates their detecti...
Landslide susceptibility assessment constitutes a pivotal method of preventing and reducing losses caused by geological disasters. However, traditional models are often influenced by subjective grading factors, which can result in unscientific and in...
The analysis of earthquake source mechanisms is key for seismotectonic studies, but it is often limited to traditional methods plagued with issues of precision and automation. This is particularly true in low-seismicity areas with deep and/or hidden...
Seismo-stratigraphic data of the Gulf of Pozzuoli have been revised with the aim of identifying the tectonic structures controlling the area in more detail and to highlight the possible relationships of the morpho-structures with the new bradyseismic...
Debris flows are rapid mass movements of water-laden debris that flow down mountainsides into valley channels and eventually settle on valley floors. The risk of debris flows can be significantly increased after wildfires. Following the destructive 2...
Levee failures caused by prolonged flooding and elevated upstream water levels pose a significant risk to floodplain communities, especially as the number of extreme hydrological events increases under climate change. Understanding seepage-induced we...
Soil erosion threatens agricultural sustainability in tropical upland areas. This study evaluated soil erosion in Nam Dong district, Central Vietnam, using the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) model and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) based o...
After the 2011 earthquake, lake water depletion has become a widespread issue in Sikkim, especially in regions classified as high to very high seismic zones, where many lakes have turned into seasonal water bodies. This study investigates Chochen Lak...
In light of the increasing frequency and intensity of natural phenomena, whether climatic or telluric, the relevance of multi-risk assessment approaches has become an important issue for understanding and estimating the impacts of disasters on comple...
This study aims to investigate the processes associated with mass movements and their relationship with the behavior of the Amazon River delta-estuary (ADE) wetlands. The methodological approach involves using water spectral indices and ground-penetr...
In the landslide chain from pre-disaster conditions to landslide mitigation and recovery, time is an important factor in understanding the geological hazards process and managing landsides. Static knowledge graphs are unable to capture the temporal d...
The city of Uvira, located in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), is increasingly experiencing flood events with devastating impacts on human life, infrastructure, and livelihoods. This study evaluates flood susceptibility in Uvira using...
Earth fill dams are susceptible to internal erosion and instability when founded over cavity-prone formations such as gypsum or karstic limestone. Subsurface voids can significantly compromise dam performance, particularly under seismic loading, by a...
The seismicity levels in Oklahoma and southern Kansas have increased dramatically over the last 15 years. Past studies have identified the massive disposal of wastewater co-produced during oil and gas extraction as the driving force behind some earth...
Mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) retaining walls have become a favored substitute for traditional poured concrete walls due to their affordability, minimal site preparation needs, and practical construction advantages. However, using backfill mate...
In recent decades, climate change has led to more frequent episodes of extreme rainfall, increasing the risk of river flooding. Streams and rivers characterized by short flow times are subject to rapid and impressive floods; for this reason, the mode...
In this research, we explore the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) and clustering techniques to automate the structuring and labeling of disaster-related social media content. With a gathered dataset comprising millions of tweets related to various...
