Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

Effective Adaptation Options to Alleviate Nuisance Flooding in Coastal Megacities—Learning From Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Earth's Future
The economies and livelihoods of many coastal megacities are at serious risk from flooding, despite investments in flood defenses. For instance, in Ho Chi Minh City, the construction of a large‐scale ring‐dike has mitigated negative effects from storm ...

What Is the Effect of Seismic Swarms on Short-Term Seismic Hazard and Gutenberg-Richter b-Value Temporal Variation? Examples from Central Italy, October–November 2023

Geosciences
A seismic hazard can be quantified by using probabilities. Modern seismic forecasting models (e.g., Operational Earthquake Forecasting systems) allow us to quantify the short-term variations in such probabilities.

On the preservation of reinforced concrete architectural masterpieces: The challenges of the REcube project

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The preservation of reinforced concrete masterpieces from the 20th century poses a complex challenge. These structures often combine architectural, historical, and technological value, which standard engineering codes and conservation practices are not fully equipped to address. The Erasmus+ REcube project responded to this gap by promoting an

Seismic landslide hazard assessment using improved seismic motion parameters of the 2017 Ms 7.0 Jiuzhaigou earthquake, Tibetan Plateau

Frontiers in Earth Science
Seismic landslide hazard assessment plays a very important guiding role during urgent earthquake relief. In August 2017, an Ms 7.0 earthquake in Jiuzhaigou County, Sichuan Province, China, triggered thousands of landslides.

Computational intelligence model for predicting the compressive strength of FRP‐confined concrete column

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) wrapping technology is commonly used to enhance the compressive strength (CS) of reinforced concrete (RC) members. Accurate prediction of the compressive strength of FRP‐confined concrete columns is crucial for optimizing structural design and helps reduce the time and costs associated with physical testing ...
