Validation of Physics‐Based Simulated Accelerograms for Seismic Fragility Analyses of Italian RC Existing Building Types

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
This article aims at exploring and validating the use of 3D physics‐based simulated ground motions as seismic input for the derivation of seismic fragility curves based on nonlinear dynamic numerical analyses. Fragility curves are computed for a set of pre‐code (i.e., designed only for vertical loads), reinforced concrete building types representative ...

From Warnings to Actions: Factors Influencing Response to Earthquake Early Warning—A Systematic Literature Review

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
Earthquake early warning (EEW) systems offer critical seconds for protective actions, yet their effectiveness ultimately depends on human interpretation and response. This article presents a systematic literature review of factors shaping public behavior during earthquakes and in response to EEW alerts.

Narrating Entanglement Without Dehumanisation in Contemporary Eco‐Fiction

open access: yesFuture Humanities, Volume 4, Issue 1, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This essay presents a comparative analysis of two contemporary works of eco‐fiction, Richard Powers's The Overstory (2018) and Eleanor Catton's Birnam Wood (2023). Both novels use multiperspective narration in the service of entanglement narratives, forms of storytelling that emphasise the interconnection of human and nonhuman life.

Moose indifferent to canopy loss from forest disturbance by bark beetles

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.
Moose showed strikingly similar patterns of habitat selection before and after widespread forest disturbance following an infestation of bark beetles. Our findings indicate that beetle‐kill does not appreciably alter habitat quality for moose and highlight the importance of riparian areas in sustaining moose as they contend with changing forests ...

Unpacking Climate Literacy in Science Education: What Explains Students' Willingness to Engage in Climate Action?

open access: yesJournal of Research in Science Teaching, Volume 63, Issue 4-5, Page 393-411, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Due to the far‐reaching and life‐threatening consequences of climate change, science education is becoming increasingly important for preparing students to become climate literate citizens. Climate literacy, which encompasses knowledge, skills, and attitudes related to climate change, can provide a strong foundation for informed climate action.

Rayleigh Waves From OHANA OBSs in the Northeast Pacific Ocean Reveal Low Deep Shear Velocities and Pervasive Azimuthal Anisotropy

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The 2021–2023 OHANA ocean‐bottom seismometer deployment in the northeast Pacific Ocean provides a rich data set for seismic studies to explore the crust, lithosphere and asthenosphere in a 600 km wide region about 1,500 km northeast of Hawaii, west of the Moonless Mountains. The study area covers mainly 40‐to‐55 Myr‐old Pacific lithosphere.

From Hydraulic Heads to Dollars and Decision: It's Time to Integrate Groundwater in Coastal Risk Assessment

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Sea level rise presents a range of hazards, including rising groundwater tables, salinization, and subsurface flooding, which threaten subsurface infrastructure in coastal communities. Groundwater shoaling inundates basements, tunnels, and utility networks, and mobilizes contaminants, while salinization accelerates corrosion and deteriorates ...
