Drowned carbonate‐rimmed margin controlling shelf‐edge delta progradation and sedimentation dynamics: Upper Cretaceous Woodbine Formation, Texas, USA

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Shelf‐edge deltas are commonly interpreted to record basinward facies migration across uninterrupted, gently dipping shelf margins; however, examples from mixed siliciclastic‐carbonate margins reveal more complex depositional dynamics. Periods and areas of carbonate sedimentation within mixed siliciclastic‐carbonate margins can modify shelf ...

Use of Kriging metamodels for seismic fragility analysis of structures

, 2019
International audienceIn civil engineering, a seismic fragility curve is popularly used to predict failure probability of structures under different earthquakes, and hence propose essential rehabilitation strategies through risk assessment for future ...

War, Trauma and Diasporic Identity in Vyvyane Loh's Breaking the Tongue

World Englishes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Japan's involvement in the Second World War offers provocative narrative material for authors who write about the cultural politics of race under wartime conditions, such as the internment experience of Japanese Americans in the United States and the mass killings of Chinese (Operation Sook Ching), suspected of anti‐Japanese sentiments in ...

Building a Continental‐Scale Geodetic Network: The Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO)

Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 7, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract The Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO) transformed the use of geodesy in North America to study crustal deformation and plate boundary processes by establishing a continental‐scale, standardized, open‐access geodetic network. Built and operated by UNAVCO between 2003 and 2018 as part of the National Science Foundation (NSF)‐funded EarthScope ...

Sustainable and Seismically Resilient Confined Masonry: Global Progress in Research and Design Practice

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
Modern confined masonry (CM) construction consists of masonry walls confined by reinforced concrete (RC) tie‐columns and tie‐beams. When built correctly, CM buildings have shown good performance in earthquake's shaking. Even though CM construction has been practised for almost a century in some Latin American countries, its use and standardisation are ...

Influence of Site Amplification Approaches in PSRA: Insights From Five Different Cities

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
Regional and national seismic hazard models used in probabilistic seismic risk analysis often rely on generalized proxy‐based site terms to account for ground shaking amplification. This can result in coarse representations of site response, which can introduce bias or additional uncertainty in the associated risk results.

Accounting for Biases in the Analysis of Building Damage Data for the 2023 M7.8 Türkiye/Syria Earthquake Sequence

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
In the aftermath of a large earthquake, several practical constraints affect the systematic collection of data for assessing building damage. The available data are therefore typically incomplete, frequently missing key information such as the type of construction, age and geographic location.
