The Possible Observation of Slow Slip Events Prior to the Occurrence of the 1999 Chi-Chi Earthquake
Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2012 Possible short-term precursors several days before the Taiwan Chi-Chi earthquake (Mw = 7.6) on 20 September 1999 were observed by examining crustal deformation that were directly integrated from broadband velocity seismograms.

Disaster Governance and Challenges in a Rural Nepali Community: Notes from Future Village NGO [PDF]
, 2017 More than two years after the 2015 earthquakes devastated Nepal, Katunge village in Dhading district, Nepal, remained as destroyed as it was right after the earthquake.

Slow slip events are regular earthquakes [PDF]
, 2021 Abstract Slow slip events usually occur downdip of seismogenic zones in subduction megathrusts and crustal faults, with rupture speeds much slower than earthquakes. The empirical moment-duration scaling relation can help constrain the physical mechanism of slow slip events, yet it is still debated whether this scaling is linear or cubic and a ...

From disorientation to preparedness: Information practices as scaffolding in acute crises
Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.Abstract This qualitative study examines how adults in Israel enacted information practices during an acute national crisis. Using the information transitions framework, we investigate how concrete practices emerge and evolve across three stages: understanding, negotiating, and resolving. Semi‐structured Zoom interviews with 18 adults were analyzed via

The Maintenance of Virtue Over Time: Notes on Changing Household Lives in Post-Disaster Nepal [PDF]
, 2017 Although it is banal to say the series of earthquakes that hit Nepal in Spring 2015 will radically change the country, what this change will consist of still remains undetermined.

The development of magmatism along the Cameroon Volcanic Line: evidence from seismicity and seismic anisotropy [PDF]
, 2014 The Cameroon Volcanic Line (CVL) straddles the continent-ocean boundary in West Africa but exhibits no clear age progression. This renders it difficult to explain by traditional plume/plate motion hypotheses; thus, there remains no consensus on the ...

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.Abstract The long‐term viability of Jatropha curcas as a biodiesel feedstock has been widely debated. Many early initiatives failed to deliver consistent economic returns despite promising environmental attributes. This study re‐evaluated J. curcas‐based systems within an integrated environmental–economic framework, focusing on their potential role in ...

Low-frequency earthquakes along the Ryukyu Islands triggered by teleseismic earthquakes
Earth, Planets and Space, 2021 Tremors and low-frequency earthquakes (LFEs), which occur in the plate interface, can provide useful information about the state of aseismic stress transfer in mega-earthquake fault zones.

A mechanism for preseismic steady rupture fronts observed in laboratory experiments [PDF]
, 2011 It has been shown that the onset of frictional instability is characterized by a transition from stable, quasi-static rupture growth to unstable, inertially-controlled high-speed rupture.
