Towards national risk-targeted seismic hazard maps for mainland China
Geomatics, Natural Hazards & RiskThe global adoption of risk-targeted hazard models as the basis for seismic design has significantly increased over the past decade. In contrast, the current Chinese National Seismic Design Code relies on a uniform hazard map, which does not ensure ...

From Hurricane Irma to the Grindavík eruptions: volatility premiums in disaster governance
Disasters, Volume 50, Issue 2, April 2026.Abstract Environmental volatility can inflate property values even as it destroys them. To show how, this article pairs a postcolonial micro‐state in the Caribbean (Sint Maarten after Hurricane Irma) with a Nordic welfare town (Grindavík in Iceland following volcanic eruptions) because they occupy the opposite ends of the governance capacity spectrum ...

Probabilistic and Deterministic Seismic Hazard Assessment in Amol Center, a City in North of Iran [PDF]
Iranica Journal of Energy and Environment, 2012 In this paper, the peak ground acceleration over the bedrock (PGA) is calculated by a probabilistic and deterministic seismic hazard assessment. The active fault map of the region is prepared. For this purpose, all active faults in a radius of 100 km of

Front‐Footed Defense: Leveraging Early Counsel Intervention for Expedited Justice
Law &Policy, Volume 48, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT Contemporary criminal justice systems have increasingly prioritized efficiency as a key guiding principle in their institutional processes. This research examines the role of defense counsel to analyze whether and how lawyers strategically adapt their advocacy methods as they balance the demands of procedural efficiency with their professional

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.Abstract Monitoring tectonic tremors is crucial for understanding stress release in subduction zones and assessing megathrust earthquake risk. The Hyuga‐nada region, at the western edge of the Nankai Trough, Japan, provides a natural laboratory for investigating links among slow earthquakes, megathrust events, and complex subduction structures.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.Abstract Classical relationships between cumulative and maximum seismic moment, based on the Gutenberg‐Richter law, shows a non‐physical anomaly for low b‐values. We here derive new relationships, including a low and a high b‐value approximation.
