The 2025 Kamchatka Earthquake and Tsunami: Cascading Impacts and Risks to Japan
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT On July 29th, 2025, a large earthquake (Mw 8.8) occurred near the Kamchatka Peninsula. This event caused a tsunami that reached Japan's Pacific coast, even though the source was far away. In this study, we analyze the characteristics of earthquakes and tsunamis and discuss how they relate to the recurrence possibility and risk in Japan.

Climatology of daily rainfall semi-variance in The Netherlands
, 2011 Rain gauges can offer high quality rainfall measurements at their locations. Networks of rain gauges can offer better insight into the space-time variability of rainfall, but they tend to be too widely spaced for accurate estimates between points.

Analysis of Signal Attenuation in UHF Band
Advances in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, 2015 This paper deals with signal attenuation in ultra-high-frequency bands caused by rain. We focus mainly on the effect of the rain on the radio waves propagation in the frequency band 2.1 GHz. Two exact approaches for investigating this dependency are used.

Synthetic microbial communities for engineering climate‐smart biofertilizers
iMeta, EarlyView.Global agricultural productivity is increasingly destabilized by climate change—driven droughts, floods, extreme heat, and severe storms. Although the climate‐smart agriculture (CSA) framework addresses these challenges, implementation has focused mainly on plant genetics and agronomic inputs, leaving the adaptive potential of the crop microbiome ...
