Partitioning Site Amplification and κ0 in Earthquake Recordings
Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.This study explores site amplification and spectral decay (κ0) estimates, focusing on the challenge of separating the two in observed Fourier amplitude spectra (FAS). We apply two general approaches: a Bayesian broadband inversion for simultaneous estimation of site amplification and κ0, and slope‐based methods for direct κ0 estimation from the ...

From Observed Damage to Executable Repair Quantities: The RELA Repair Module
Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.Postearthquake workflows currently support three distinct classes of decisions: safety clearance through rapid tagging, portfolio‐level economic damage estimation through probabilistic loss models, and field inspections based on locally defined survey forms, which may subsequently trigger project‐specific strengthening through retrofit design. However,

A Bayesian Framework for Empirical Estimation of Post‐Earthquake Building Inspection Time
Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.Building safety inspections can be an impeding determinant of post‐earthquake recovery, yet their durations remain inadequately quantified because fine‐grained operational data are rarely available. Here, we present a probabilistic Bayesian framework to quantify building‐level inspection time, calibrated against a comprehensive multiagency dataset from

Cost Analysis Insights for Offshore CCS Hubs: A Case Study of the Santos Basin, Brazil
Greenhouse Gases: Science and Technology, Volume 16, Issue 4, Page 701-711, August 2026.ABSTRACT The reuse of decommissioned offshore platforms for geological carbon storage offers a cost‐effective and technically feasible strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in emerging economies. This study presents a comprehensive techno‐economic assessment of offshore carbon capture and storage (CCS) hubs in Brazil, with a focus on the Merluza ...

Disrupting the herd: Recreational boating alters group dispersion within beluga whale herds
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.Recreational boating in beluga habitat remains poorly documented. Using land‐based observations in the Saguenay Fjord (Quebec, Canada), we show that increasing recreational boat numbers are associated with a higher probability of changes in beluga herd dispersion, suggesting behavioral disturbance and the need to integrate recreational boating into ...
