An Overview of Tsunami Hazards in the Southwest Pacific Ocean

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
The southwest Pacific region is geologically complex and exhibits all the principal causes of tsunami generation. While contemporary events and historical catalogs indicate that trans‐Pacific tsunamis have affected this area (∼18% of tsunamis reported globally), it is unique in that a large part of the tsunami effects over the ∼200‐year historical ...

Seismic vulnerability assessment of existing masonry buildings: case study of the old city centre of Faro, Portugal [PDF]

, 2014
The seismic vulnerability and risk assessment of old city centre areas is truly essential in urban rehabilitation programs and should not be focused exclusively over recognized historical and patrimonial valuable buildings but also in relation to current

Creating Flood Disasters: Environmental Memory and Adaptation in Aotearoa New Zealand

Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online, Volume 21, Issue 2, June 2026.
This article explores three questions. First, why does New Zealand have widespread flooding hazards? Second, why are these persistent, with little seemingly learned from the memory of earlier events? And third, beyond reiterating conventional solutions, what examples of alternatives or adaptations are being developed in different places?

Seismic analyses of a R/C building: study of a retrofitting solution [PDF]

, 2000
The preliminary experimental results from the tests on a 4-storey R/C frame structure are presented and discussed. The full-scale model is representative of the common practice of 40~50 years ago in most south European countries.

A Machine Learning Approach for Volcanic Eruption Mass Estimation

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Estimation of total volcanic erupted mass—the primary metric of eruption magnitude—is typically performed post‐eruption relying on dense monitoring of ground‐based seismology, gravity and deformation instrumentation, and therefore exists for only ∼100 of ∼1280 volcanoes worldwide.
