Armenia is located within the central segment of the Arabia–Eurasia continental collision zone and is exposed to significant seismic hazard. This study presents an updated probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) for Armenia based on an i...
This study addresses the seismic vulnerability of unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings affected by the 2012 Emilia earthquake sequence through a scenario-based damage assessment. The OpenQuake engine is employed to simulate damage scenarios by integr...
Mexicali, capital of Baja California, has 1,049,792 inhabitants and lies in a high-seismic-hazard zone in northwestern Mexico, according to CENAPRED, the MDOC-CFE-2015 seismic regionalization, and the ASCE 7-22 “Hazard Toolkit”. This stud...
We use earthquake ground motion modelling via Ground Motion Prediction Equations (GMPEs) and numerical simulation of seismic waves to consider the effects of site amplification and basin resonance in Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia. While spec...
Limited labeled imagery and tight response windows hinder the accurate damage quantification for post-disaster assessment. The objective of this study is to develop and evaluate a deep learning-based Domain-Adaptive Segmentation (DASeg) workflow to d...
Globally, in remaining wildlands, tree densities and forested cover have increased in grasslands and open forests since European settlement. In the southern Rocky Mountains of Colorado, United States, we determined tree composition and tree cover fro...
Tree-ring fire scars, tree ages, historical photographs, and historical surveys indicate that, for centuries, fire played different ecological roles across gradients of elevation, forest, and fire regimes in the Taos Valley Watersheds. Historical fir...
Earthquake prediction remains a significant challenge in seismology, and advancements in signal processing techniques have opened new avenues for improving prediction accuracy. This paper explores the application of Time–Frequency Distributions...
In solar–terrestrial physics, there is an open question: does a geomagnetic storm affect earthquakes? We expand research in this direction, analyzing the seismic situation after geomagnetic storms (GMs) accompanied by the precipitation of relat...
With the rapid development of the global navigation satellite system (GNSS), high-rate GNSS has been widely used for high-precision GNSS coseismic displacement retrieval. In recent decades, relative positioning (RP) and precise point positioning (PPP...
Sustainable aspen ecosystems hold great promise for global biodiversity conservation. These forests harbor relatively high species diversity, yet are threatened by fire suppression, land development, timber-focused management, extended droughts, and...
