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.

Geomorphic Effectiveness of an Extreme Flood in a Mountain River: Evidence From Pre‐ and Post‐Event Surveys in a Subtropical Region of Southern Brazil

open access: yesHydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 5, May 2026.
The extreme flooding of April 2024 caused a complete “geomorphic reset”, resulting in a 24% widening of the channel and a transition to critical or supercritical flow regimes. The energy of the event broke through the stable armouring layer, reducing the armouring ratio from 7.9 to 4.9 and intensely removing fine sediments from the subsurface.

The use of continuum models for analyzing adobe structures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
As it is known, the adobe structures have a high seismic vulnerability principally due to the low material strength and sometimes due to the inadequate structural configuration.

Assessing Deposit‐Derived Pyroclastic Flow Hazard at Stromboli (Italy): 2. Probabilistic Invasion Maps

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract This study presents a new method to assess the hazard of deposit‐derived pyroclastic density currents (PDC), a critical threat on volcanic islands and on populated slopes of active volcanoes, considering the exemplary case study of Stromboli (Italy).

CO 2 Fluxes and Soil Responses to Straw and Herbicide in Peanut

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 7, Page 2927-2944, 30 April 2026.
ABSTRACT Peanut cultivation plays an important agronomic role in Brazil, especially in rotation with sugarcane, promoting biological nitrogen fixation and improving soil quality. This study aimed to test the hypothesis that the combined use of sugarcane mulch, peanut cultivation, and herbicide application would affect soil CO₂ fluxes, soil chemical ...
