In for a penny: An empirical study of earthquake experience and non‐pharmaceutical intervention effectiveness in the Marche region

Annals of Public and Cooperative Economics, Volume 97, Issue 2, Page 469-501, June 2026.
Abstract This study investigates whether prior exposure to natural disasters influenced individual compliance with non‐pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs), specifically lockdown measures, during the Corona Virus Infectious Disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic. Focusing on the Marche region of Italy, which experienced a severe earthquake in 2016, we exploit

Integrated seismic damage scenario and resilience assessment using multimodal data and support vector machine, a case study of Jiangyou City, Southwestern China

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk
Seismic damage scenario and resilience assessment are essential for disaster prevention and urban planning, but traditional in-situ fieldwork is resource-intensive and costly at large scales. This study introduces an integrated geospatial framework using

A computer program for bridge retrofitting [PDF]

, 1997
This paper summarizes the work developed in order to establish a framework for seismic retrofitting of bridges. In this context, the first objetive is to find a numerical model to evaluate the damage induced in a structure, under seismic action, as an ...

Building‐Scale Flood Hazard Modelling for Risk Assessment of Cultural Heritage

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Flooding is among the most frequent natural hazards threatening cultural heritage sites, yet current flood hazard studies often operate at urban or regional scales. While building‐scale damage models exist, they generally rely on flood depth inputs from large‐scale inundation models, inputs that may fail to capture the internal complexity of ...

The Importance of Individual Body Condition in Mammalian Behavioural Responses to Disturbance

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 2, June 2026.
Body condition, shaped by the balance between energy demands and reserves, predictably shapes mammalian disturbance responses. Poor‐condition individuals adopt needs‐based strategies, accepting greater risks to meet immediate energetic needs, while good‐condition individuals follow asset‐protection strategies, minimizing risks to protect their survival

Does Geocentric Sea‐Level Rise in the Maritime Continent Reveal a Tectonic Fingerprint?

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.
Abstract The islands of the Maritime Continent are highly vulnerable to sea‐level rise driven by barystatic, sterodynamic, and vertical land motion (VLM) processes. While tectonics is known to affect relative sea‐level through VLM, its influence on long‐term geocentric sea level (GSL) through crustal deformation and gravity field perturbations remains ...

Multi‐Stage Shallow Rupture and Pre‐Event Shallow Deformation During the 2025 Mw 5.9 Asadabad Earthquake (Afghanistan)

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract The 31 August 2025 Mw 5.9 Asadabad earthquake in eastern Afghanistan caused severe damage despite its moderate magnitude, raising questions about rupture processes and seismic hazard in the southern Hindu Kush. Using Sentinel‐1 InSAR and teleseismic waveform modeling, we reveal a complex, multi‐stage shallow (4–5 km) rupture involving the ...
