The Rising Tide Lifts Some Interest Rates: Climate Change, Natural Disasters, and Loan Pricing

The Journal of Finance, Volume 81, Issue 5, Page 2933-2984, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Banks adjust loan spreads after observing natural disasters linked to climate change. We isolate this updating process by identifying loans to borrowers at risk of, but not directly affected by, such disasters. Loan spreads for these borrowers spike in both primary and secondary markets, while no such updating occurs for non–climate‐related ...

SIMPLIFIED SEISMIC VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT OF MASONRY ARCH BRIDGES

, 2014
This study concerns seismic vulnerability assessment of masonry arch bridges with common typologies in Europe. Bridges are, in most cases, the most vulnerable elements in the transportation network during an earthquake; therefore, their seismic vulnerability assessment is necessary for a proper planning of the emergency phase and to define a priority ...

Kogia Records in Brazilian Equatorial and Southwestern Atlantic Oceans

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The pygmy (Kogia breviceps) and dwarf (Kogia sima) sperm whales are cryptic cetaceans characterized by inconspicuous surfacing behavior, small group sizes, and deep‐diving habits, making visual detection particularly challenging. Here, we present the first broad‐scale passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) assessment of Kogia spp.

Business Strategies and Environmental Transparency in the Brazilian Mining Sector

Business Strategy &Development, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT In recent years, Brazil has experienced severe accidents caused by mining companies. This study aims to analyze the socio‐environmental strategies and environmental transparency practices adopted by the largest Brazilian mining companies following the Mariana and Brumadinho disasters, in light of Legitimacy Theory.

Seismic resilience design of steel bridge using pushover analysis

ce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 2-3, Page 2617-2622, September 2026.
Abstract Resilience –based design of steel bridge demands analytical approaches capable of capturing inelastic behavior and identifying retrofit needs under seismic loading. Seismic resilience refers to the ability of a structure to withstand, adapt to, and quickly recover from the effects of an earthquake.

Predicting Seismic Intensity Using Machine Learning With Ancillary Data: Evidence From Destructive Earthquakes in China

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2026.
A machine learning framework integrating multisource seismic, social, and geographic data accurately predicts kilometer‐scale seismic intensity, enabling rapid postearthquake damage assessment during data‐scarce “black‐box” periods. ABSTRACT Accurate and rapid assessment of seismic intensity is crucial for postearthquake emergency response.

Seismic vulnerability assessment of existing buildings

, 2018
One of the main research areas of the Applied Computing and Mechanics laboratory (IMAC) at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) is the seismic risk assessment of the existing building stock at an urban scale. Such analysis enables to forecast future earthquake impacts in terms of socio-economic losses.

The 2025 Kamchatka Earthquake and Tsunami: Cascading Impacts and Risks to Japan

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2837-2854, September 2026.
ABSTRACT On July 29th, 2025, a large earthquake (Mw 8.8) occurred near the Kamchatka Peninsula. This event caused a tsunami that reached Japan's Pacific coast, even though the source was far away. In this study, we analyze the characteristics of earthquakes and tsunamis and discuss how they relate to the recurrence possibility and risk in Japan.

Seismic Structural Reliability by Time‐Variant Fragility Functions

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2669-2674, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The seismic vulnerability of aging structures is often represented in the form of fragility curves that vary with time. On one hand, each of these functions is intended to apply if the earthquake hits at the time the fragility refers to. On the other hand, performance‐based earthquake engineering (PBEE) resources to classical probabilistic ...
