Earthquake and Tsunami NaTech Risk Assessment for Oil Storage Facilities
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 9, Page 1887-1904, 25 July 2026.ABSTRACT Interaction of natural and technological hazards (NaTech) events, such as tsunamis and earthquakes, can affect industrial facilities such as those featuring anchored atmospheric storage tanks. Consequences of natural events on this kind of installation may include the release of hazardous substances, which in turn can lead to industrial ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 9, Page 1811-1827, 25 July 2026.ABSTRACT Multivariate ground motion models (GMMs) that capture the correlation between different intensity measures (IMs) are essential for seismic risk assessment. Conventional GMMs are often developed using a two‐stage approach, where separate univariate models with predefined functional forms are fitted first, and correlation is addressed in a ...

Demonstration of pb-PSHA with Ras-Elhekma earthquake, Egypt [PDF]
NRIAG Journal of Astronomy and Geophysics, 2017 Abstract The main goal of this work is to: (1) argue for the importance of a physically-based probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (pb-PSHA) methodology and show examples to support the argument from recent events, (2) demonstrate the methodology with the ground motion simulations of May 28, 1998, Mw = 5.5 Ras-Elhekma earthquake, north Egypt.

Implementing the Effect of the Rupture Directivity on PSHA for the City of Istanbul, Turkey
, 2016 In the present study, we improve the probabilistic seismic-hazard assessment (PSHA), taking into account fault rupture-related parameters that sensibly affect the azimuthal variability of the ground motion.

Stochastic Generator of Earthquakes for Mainland France
Applied Sciences, 2022 Mainland France is characterized by low-to-moderate seismic activity, yet it is known that major earthquakes could strike this territory (e.g., Liguria in 1887 or Basel in 1356).

Subduction Parameters Controlling the Occurrence of Shallow and Deep Slow‐Slip Events (SSEs)
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Slow‐slip events (SSEs) are transient aseismic fault‐slip phenomena that release tectonic stresses in a variety of tectonic environments, including subduction zones. In subduction margins, SSEs commonly occur along the plate interface at shallow (<20 km) and deep (30–60 km) depths.

Rural Sociology, Volume 91, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Over the past two decades as global alarm over disruptive climate change has grown, coalitions of high‐ranking government officials and prominent activists have launched campaigns to protect and restore greenhouse gas absorbing rain forests. The initial results from these campaigns have varied dramatically across racial and ethnic landholding ...

Regional Adjustments to NGA‐West2 Ground‐Motion Models for Turkey
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1313-1332, May 2026.ABSTRACT This paper presents a ground‐motion model updating (GMMU) framework to adjust NGA‐West2 models for predicting a set of intensity measures in Turkey, including peak ground acceleration (PGA), peak ground velocity (PGV), and pseudo‐spectral acceleration (PSA) at periods ranging from 0.01 to 10 s. The GMMU framework integrates bias identification
