From Hurricane Irma to the Grindavík eruptions: volatility premiums in disaster governance
Disasters, Volume 50, Issue 2, April 2026.Abstract Environmental volatility can inflate property values even as it destroys them. To show how, this article pairs a postcolonial micro‐state in the Caribbean (Sint Maarten after Hurricane Irma) with a Nordic welfare town (Grindavík in Iceland following volcanic eruptions) because they occupy the opposite ends of the governance capacity spectrum ...

Monitoring Near‐Surface Changes Using Anthropogenic Seismic Vibrations
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.Abstract The abundance of anthropogenic seismic noise provides a valuable resource for monitoring dynamic subsurface property changes. We utilize railway and wind turbine‐induced vibrations recorded by a geophone array to estimate surface wave attenuation and velocity in the underlying glacial deposits of Illinois.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.Abstract The efficacy of rapid seismic response is fundamentally constrained by the sequential, multi‐step nature of conventional InSAR processing, where error propagation and reliance on auxiliary data hinder automation. Here, we present a holistic framework using Physics‐Aware Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to directly retrieve absolute ...

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.Abstract The Ross Ice Shelf (RIS) in West Antarctica experienced extensive surface melting in January 2016, driven by warm humid air transported from over the Southern Ocean. Few studies have reported increased atmospheric water vapor and turbulent mixing during this event in this region, where the availability of surface measurements is challenging ...

Adaptive multiagent system for seismic emergency management [PDF]
Presently, most multiagent frameworks are typically programmed in Java. Since the JADE platform has been recently ported to .NET, we used it to create an adaptive multiagent system where the knowledge base of the agents is managed using the CLIPS ...
