A seismic vulnerability index method for masonry schools in the province of Yazd
, 2014 School facilities in Iran, in particular masonry schools, have shown poor performance during past earthquakes and can be identified as the most vulnerable buildings to the earthquakes. Hence, in this paper a method to perform observational-based damage assessment for brick masonry schools located in the province of Yazd, the central region of Iran ...

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 ...
