Seismically induced landslide hazard and exposure modelling in Southern California based on the 1994 Northridge, California earthquake event

, 2015
Quantitative modelling of landslide hazard, as opposed to landslide susceptibility, as a function of the earthquake trigger is vital in understanding and assessing future potential exposure to landsliding.

Shear-Wave Velocity Characterization of the USGS Hawaiian Strong-Motion Network on the Island of Hawaii and Development of an NEHRP Site-Class Map [PDF]

, 2011
To assess the level and nature of ground shaking in Hawaii for the purposes of earthquake hazard mitigation and seismic design, empirical ground-motion prediction models are desired.

A Temporal Look at the Influence of Topographic Amplification on Earthquake‐Triggered Landslides in 3D Seismic Simulations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Earthquakes are a primary trigger for landslides, often leading to catastrophic consequences. While numerous studies have explored the spatial distribution of earthquake‐triggered landslides, understanding the interaction between seismic waves and topography remains a critical challenge.

Dual-proxy estimation of Vs30: the case study of the Marche Region (central Italy)

Journal of Maps
This study focuses on generating a shear-wave velocity averaged within the uppermost 30 m of the ground surface (Vs30) map for the Marche region (central Italy) using two commonly acknowledged proxies: topographic slope and lithological classification ...

Earthquake Early Warning ShakeAlert System: Testing and Certification Platform [PDF]

, 2018
Earthquake early warning systems provide warnings to end users of incoming moderate to strong ground shaking from earthquakes. An earthquake early warning system, ShakeAlert, is providing alerts to beta end users in the western United States ...

Comparing observed damages and losses with modelled ones using a probabilistic approach: the Lorca 2011 case [PDF]

, 2016
A loss and damage assessment was performed for the buildings of Lorca, Spain, considering an earthquake hazard scenario with similar characteristics to those of a real event which occurred on May 11th, 2011, in terms of epicentre, depth and magnitude ...

Beyond Deaths and Dollars: Modeling Requirements to Support Equity‐Focused Disaster Risk Management

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
The disaster risk modeling framework has long focused on quantifiable impact metrics to assess a hazard's potential direct effects, such as fatalities (deaths) and economic losses (dollars). Over time, as the framework has expanded to inform both public and private applications, additional impact metrics that more directly consider the societal roots ...

Bayesian maximum entropy interpolation analysis for rapid assessment of seismic intensity using station and ground motion prediction equations

Frontiers in Earth Science
In this paper, we explored the combination of seismic station data and ground motion prediction equations (GMPE) to predict seismic intensity results by using Bayesian Maximum Entropy (BME) method.

Earthquake early warning and operational earthquake forecasting as real-time hazard information to mitigate seismic risk at nuclear facilities [PDF]

, 2016
Based on our experience in the project REAKT, we present a methodological framework to evaluate the potential benefits and costs of using Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) and Operational Earthquake Forecasting (OEF) for real-time mitigation of seismic risk

Predicting Seismic Debris Distributions of Collapsed Unreinforced Masonry Structures Through Physics Engines and Machine Learning Algorithms

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
Unreinforced masonry (URM) structures are widespread worldwide, particularly in older urban districts. However, URM buildings—particularly those constructed before the introduction of modern building codes—are highly vulnerable to seismic hazard, and prone to experiencing local and/or global failures when subjected to significant horizontal shaking ...
