A mechanism to explain soil liquefaction environmental effects during an earthquake

open access: yes, 2023
Abstract Soil liquefaction has potentially devastating consequences for infrastructures and endangers human lives. The mechanisms used to explain the above-ground environmental effects of soil liquefaction during and after an earthquake stops require a set of conditions seldom observed in situ

Environmental effects and seismogenic source characterization of the December 2020 earthquake sequence near Petrinja, Croatia

open access: yesGeophysical Journal International, 2022
SUMMARYOn 29 December 2020, a shallow earthquake of magnitude Mw 6.4 struck northern Croatia, near the town of Petrinja, more than 24 hr after a strong foreshock (ML 5). We formed a reconnaissance team of European geologists and engineers, from Croatia, Slovenia, France, Italy and Greece, rapidly deployed in the field to map the evidence of coseismic ...

Immersive virtual reality as a teaching tool in neuroanatomy: A scoping review

open access: yesAnatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Basic core courses in various undergraduate programs, such as neuroanatomy, pose a challenge for students due to the large volume and complexity of the content. In this context, educational technologies such as immersive virtual reality (IVR), which allow students to actively interact with learning materials, offer a complementary pedagogical ...

From disorientation to preparedness: Information practices as scaffolding in acute crises

open access: yesJournal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract This qualitative study examines how adults in Israel enacted information practices during an acute national crisis. Using the information transitions framework, we investigate how concrete practices emerge and evolve across three stages: understanding, negotiating, and resolving. Semi‐structured Zoom interviews with 18 adults were analyzed via

Exploiting earthquake-induced landslide inventories for macroseismic assessment using the environmental seismic intensity (ESI-07) scale

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science
Earthquake-induced landslides are one of the most impacting effects triggered by seismic events and represent a relevant risk factor. Inventories of earthquake-induced landslides are available for many case histories and may contain thousands of elements.
