Hazard classification of active faults in Yunnan base on probabilistic seismic hazard assessment

Open Geosciences
During a major earthquake, the hazard of active faults mainly manifests in two main aspects: seism enhancement near the fault (near-fault effect) and surface displacement.

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 ...

Enhanced seismic hazard assessment and risk zoning in the Kashan Region, Central Iran: Insights from historical data and advanced modeling techniques

Results in Earth Sciences
This research focuses on earthquake risk zoning in the Kashan region of central Iran—an area with significant seismic activity due to its location along major fault lines.

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

Insights From Two Decades of Seismicity at Columbia Glacier

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract We use Columbia Glacier as a case study to demonstrate how seismically cataloged calving events in Alaska can track glacier evolution over two decades. By combining this catalog—a serendipitous byproduct of earthquake monitoring—with terminus positions, bathymetry, glacier thickness, surface velocity, and environmental records, we show how ...

Detection of Shallow Tectonic Tremors in Hyuga‐nada, Nankai Trough, Using the Newly Established N‐Net OBS Network

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.

Theoretical Maximum and Cumulative Seismic Moment Relationships Confirm that Injection Volume Controls the Occurrence Rate, But Not the Magnitude, of Induced Earthquakes

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.

Distributed Lower‐Crustal Flow Beneath the Central Xianshuihe–Xiaojiang Fault System: Reconciling Geodesy and Geology

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract We use recently compiled GNSS velocities across the Zemuhe‐Daliangshan fault zone, part of the central Xianshuihe‐Xiaojiang fault system, to reconcile a long‐standing mismatch between geodetic and geologic slip‐rate estimates. We show that conventional elastic dislocation models yield slip rates and locking depths that conflict with seismic ...

Post-Earthquake Fire Resistance in Structures: A Review of Current Research and Future Directions

Applied Sciences
Post-earthquake fires (PEFs) pose a significant secondary hazard in earthquake-prone regions, compounding the destruction caused by seismic events and threatening structural safety.
