The 25 October 2010 Mentawai tsunami earthquake (M_w 7.8) and the tsunami hazard presented by shallow megathrust ruptures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The 25 October 2010 Mentawai, Indonesia earthquake (M_w 7.8) ruptured the shallow portion of the subduction zone seaward of the Mentawai islands, off-shore of Sumatra, generating 3 to 9 m tsunami run-up along southwestern coasts of the Pagai Islands that

Strategies for Assessing Post‐Wildfire Geomorphic Resilience in Semiarid Rivers

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We review and summarize diverse components of a catchment that can be monitored after wildfire to assess the geomorphic resilience of the river corridor in semiarid regions. We distinguish upland portions of river catchments from river corridors.

Insights into the Dead Sea Transform Activity through the study of fracture-induced electromagnetic radiation (FEMR) signals before the Syrian-Turkey earthquake (Mw-6.3) on 20.2.2023

open access: yesScientific Reports
Observations of fracture-induced electromagnetic radiation (FEMR) were conducted along the Dead Sea Transform (DST) from Sodom to Jericho, coinciding with a magnitude (Mw) 6.3 aftershock earthquake (EQ) in the Turkey-Syrian region on February 20, 2023 ...

Time-scale invariances in preseismic electromagnetic radiation, magnetization and damage evolution of rocks [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2007
We investigate the time-scale invariant changes in electromagnetic and mechanical energy releases prior to a rock failure or a large earthquake. The energy release processes are caused by damage evolutions such as crack propagation, motion of charged ...

Satellite thermal infrared anomalies associatedwith strong earthquakes in the Vrancea area ofRomania

open access: yesOpen Geosciences, 2015
Thermal anomalies which are known to be significantprecursors of strong earthquakes can be evidencedby spectral thermal infrared (TIR) bands recordedby sensors on board of NOAA-AVHRR and Terra/Aqua-MODIS satellite.

Forgoing Nuclear: Nuclear Power Plant Closures and Carbon Emissions in the United States

open access: yesSouthern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the effect of nuclear power plant decommissioning on electricity generation and carbon emissions in the United States. Using data on nuclear reactor closures in the United States between 1993 and 2022 and data on state‐level carbon emissions and electricity generation from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), this ...

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

open access: yesJournal of Research in Science Teaching, EarlyView.
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.

Geometric barriers impacted rupture processes and stress releases of the 2023 Kahramanmaraş, Türkiye, earthquake doublet

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment
The 2023 Türkiye earthquake doublet, which includes two M W > 7.5 events, was the most devastating earthquake sequence globally over the past decade. Here we investigate the fault segmentations, rupture processes, radiated energy and stress releases of ...

LamelODF: a MATLAB‐based toolbox for orientation distribution analysis and mapping of lamellar minerals for laboratory and synchrotron X‐ray diffractometers

open access: yesJournal of Applied Crystallography, EarlyView.
LamelODF is a MATLAB‐based toolbox aimed at simplifying the automated extraction of orientation distribution functions from 2D X‐ray diffraction data of lamellar minerals in transmission mode. It accommodates both laboratory and synchrotron data formats, providing an integrated pipeline from raw data to spatially resolved textural maps, enabling robust
