Development of Liquefaction‐Targeted Design Basis in U.S. Seismic Provisions

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
Seismic design criteria for new buildings in the United States have historically focused on life safety performance objectives through minimizing the potential for structural collapse. Development of design criteria to meet this performance objective has evolved over time, leading to the current, risk‐targeted maximum considered earthquake (MCER ...

Integrated geomorphological analysis of a Mediterranean temporary pond priority habitat: the Lago del Capraro doline (Salento peninsula, Italy)

open access: yesActa Carsologica, 2023
The Lago del Capraro doline (Salento peninsula, southern Italy), a valuable Mediterranean Temporary Pond (MTP), has been investigated aiming to define its geomorphological features and to collect data about the local hydraulic regime.

Field and Experimental Observations Show Elevated Shear Strength of Active Margin Sediments Requires Processes Beyond Normal Consolidation

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract Near‐seafloor marine sediments on active margins have been shown to be stronger than those on passive margins. However, the reasons for this are not fully understood. To investigate the role of intrinsic properties, we performed resedimentation and oedometer tests and measured undrained shear strength, grain size, mineralogy, and plasticity on

Quantifying Thermo‐Fluid‐Chemical Coupling: Advection Governs Multi‐Phase Zonation and Self‐Sealing in a Hydrate‐Cold Seep System

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Deep fluid advection fundamentally governs the thermal‐fluid‐chemical evolution and distribution of hydrate‐cold seep systems. However, coupled relationships between deep fluid and shallow multiphase dynamics remain inadequately constrained.

Farming practices and their effect on soil moisture and penetration resistance: Impact on maize yields in rainfed agriculture

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract In sub‐Saharan Africa, there is growing interest in conservation agriculture practices, including reduced tillage (e.g., ripping), residue retention, and crop diversification, but their effects on soil moisture and penetration resistance in sub‐humid regions remain unclear.

Effect of Chitosan, Aloe vera Gel and Coconut Oil Edible Coatings on Postharvest Quality and Shelf Life of Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch) Under Ambient Storage

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Postharvest application of eco‐friendly edible coatings consisting of chitosan solution (CH), Aloe vera gel (AVG), and coconut oil (CO) on strawberry fruit under ambient conditions. Six distinct formulations (CH, AVG, CO, CH + AVG, CH + CO, and AVG + CO) along with a distilled water (control) were analyzed.

Adaptation of Soil Physical Measurement Techniques for the Delineation of Mud and Lakebed Sediments at Neusiedler See

open access: yesSensors, 2013
For many water management issues of shallow lakes with non-consolidated sediments hydrographic surveys of the open water area and reed belt areas are required.

Soil Property Responses to Push‐Pull Cropping in East Africa

open access: yesFood and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Push‐pull technology is increasingly promoted in sub‐Saharan Africa, particularly for pest management and enhancing crop productivity. However, its influence on soil properties remains understudied, despite its potential implications for soil health and sustainable soil fertility management. This study examines soil properties in push‐pull and

Subgrade soils characterization data, for correlation of geotechnical variables on urban roads in northern Colombia

open access: yesData in Brief, 2020
Within the variables relevant to the design of a pavement structure, the subgrade soils should be considered, which must be characterized in order to determine their mechanical properties and their bearing capacity.
