Geomorphic and geologic controls of geohazards induced by Nepal’s 2015 Gorkha earthquake [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The Gorkha earthquake (M 7.8) on 25 April 2015 and later aftershocks struck South Asia, killing ~9,000 and damaging a large region. Supported by a large campaign of responsive satellite data acquisitions over the earthquake disaster zone, our team ...

Finite-Fault Rupture Detector (FinDer): Going Real-Time in Californian ShakeAlert Warning System [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Rapid detection of local and regional earthquakes and issuance of fast alerts for impending shaking is considered beneficial to save lives, reduce losses, and shorten recovery times after destructive events (Allen et al., 2009). Over the last two decades,

Operationalizing Equity: How Disaggregated Risk Metrics Support Equity in Emergency Management

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
While numerous studies show that natural hazards disproportionately impact socially vulnerable populations, approaches to integrate social equity into emergency management to reduce such vulnerability have been ill‐defined and inconsistent. Considering earthquake disasters, emergency managers often lack information from near‐real‐time seismic loss ...

Coseismic Landslide Area Prediction Using Generalised Additive Model: A Case Study of the 2013 Minxian Earthquake

open access: yesGeoscience Data Journal, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2026.
Comparison between observed and predicted landslide areas in log scale. ABSTRACT This study aims to establish a regional model for predicting seismic landslide areas. Using the 2013 Minxian earthquake‐induced landslide database as the research foundation, mathematical statistics and GIS techniques were applied to predict landslide areas through the ...

Deep Learning–Based Automated Crack Detection for Post‐Earthquake Damage Assessment in Reinforced Concrete Structures

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This study explores the integration of deep learning technologies, specifically U‐Net based segmentation methods, for evaluating earthquake‐induced damages. The study leverages a dataset derived from the Kahramanmaraş earthquake to train and test deep learning models capable of identifying and quantifying structural damages such as concrete cracks. The

Characterizing Average Properties of Southern California Ground Motion Amplitudes and Envelopes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We examine ground motion envelopes of horizontal and vertical acceleration, velocity, and filtered displacement recorded within 200 km from southern California earthquakes in the magnitude range 2 5 range typically considered for strong motion ...

CyberShake-derived ground-motion prediction models for the Los Angeles region with application to earthquake early warning [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Real-time applications such as earthquake early warning (EEW) typically use empirical ground-motion prediction equations (GMPEs) along with event magnitude and source-to-site distances to estimate expected shaking levels.

Geological and Historical‐Based Approaches to Define Scenario Earthquake: Case‐Studies and Application at Municipality‐Scale in Italy

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 54, Issue 15, Page 3828-3845, December 2025.
ABSTRACT This study compares two approaches for determining earthquake magnitude (M) and source‐to‐site distance (R) to assess seismic scenarios in Italy. The first method relies on geological criteria from the Italian seismogenic sources database (DISS3.3.0), while the second method uses historical earthquakes from the DBMI‐CPTI15 Italian catalogue ...
