, 2021 This study uses a catastrophic earthquake in 1923 to analyze the long-term effects of a one-off disaster on children's health. I find that fetal exposure to Japan's Great Kanto Earthquake had stunting effects on girls in the devastated area.

Interactions between earthquakes and volcano activity
Geophysical Research Letters, 2007 Using the 1973–2005 worldwide catalogues for M ≥ 4.8 seismicity and VEI ≥ 0 volcano eruptions, we find a significant, when tested against catalogue randomizations, increase of eruption onsets on the earthquake day. This result emerges from stacking time series of daily eruption rates relatively to earthquake time,t0, over the whole seismicity catalogue.

Short-Term Interaction between Silent and Devastating Earthquakes in Mexico [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 Abstract Triggering of large earthquakes on a fault that hosts aseismic slip or, conversely, triggering of slow slip events (SSE) by passing seismic waves involves seismological questions with major hazard implications. Just a few observations plausibly suggest that such interactions actually happen in nature.

Deconvolution effect of near-fault earthquake ground motions on stochastic dynamic response of tunnel-soil deposit interaction systems [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2012 The deconvolution effect of the near-fault earthquake ground motions on the stochastic dynamic response of tunnel-soil deposit interaction systems are investigated by using the finite element method.

Modeling seismic wave propagation and amplification in 1D/2D/3D linear and nonlinear unbounded media
, 2010 To analyze seismic wave propagation in geological structures, it is possible to consider various numerical approaches: the finite difference method, the spectral element method, the boundary element method, the finite element method, the finite volume ...

Geotechnical design with apparent seismic safety factors well-bellow 1 [PDF]
, 2014 The paper demonstrates that whereas often in seismic geotechnical design it is not realistically feasible to design with ample factor of safety against failure as is done in static design, an "engineering" apparent seismic factor of safety less than 1 ...

The politics of the post-conflict and post-disaster nexus in Nepal [PDF]
, 2018 The intersection of the post-conflict reconstruction processes established in Nepal’s Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) in 2006, and the post-disaster reconstruction effort that swung into action following the country’s devastating earthquakes in 2015 ...

Modelling strong seismic ground motion: three-dimensional loading path versus wavefield polarization [PDF]
, 2012 Seismic waves due to strong earthquakes propagating in surficial soil layers may both reduce soil stiffness and increase the energy dissipation into the soil.
