Sketches showing the geomorphic features expected after a river is dammed and diverted by a landslide. (a) Pre‐landslide geography. (b) Formation of a lake by landslide damming and eventual overflow. (c) Reconfiguration of the drainage network and catchment boundaries after erosion of the divide.

Disturbance ecology in human societies
Abstract We define societal disturbances as discrete events that abruptly disrupt the functioning of human societies. There is a variety of such events, including hurricanes, floods, epidemics, nuclear accidents, earthquakes and wars, among others. These disturbances can interact, further increasing their impacts.

Earthquake perception data highlight natural frequency details of Italian buildings
As the distance from an earthquake increases, the percentage of people who do not feel it also increases. The average transition distance between “felt” and “not felt” reports is mainly determined by the magnitude and depth of the earthquake, but it also depends on the observation floor and building height.

Abstract During the Great East Japan Earthquake, many people experienced the loss of family and friends, among other traumatic events. This study sought to clarify the impact of the loss of significant close others on posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS), as well as the factors associated with PTSS, among individuals who experienced the loss of ...

Abstract Fault barriers are key structures for studying seismic hazard in regions of intense brittle deformation. The interaction between fault sets affects their seismogenic behavior, if some of them act as barriers. The Granada Basin, in the Betic Cordillera, is a region affected by shallow brittle deformation, as it was the scenario for the recent ...

Abstract We investigate the 19 September 2021 eruption of the Cumbre Vieja volcano (La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain). In particular, we analyze the Differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (DInSAR) measurements obtained by processing Sentinel‐1 images acquired from both ascending and descending orbits.

Assessing post‐disaster recovery using sentiment analysis: The case of L'Aquila, Italy
Memorial days of disasters represent an opportunity to evaluate the progress of recovery. This article uses sentiment analysis (SA) to assess post‐disaster recovery on the 10th anniversary of L'Aquila's earthquake using Twitter data. We have analyzed 4349 tweets from 4 to 10 April 2019 with the hashtag: #L'Aquila that we have obtained from a third ...

A systematic review of 20 years of crisis and disaster research: Trends and progress
Abstract The field of crisis and disaster studies has proliferated over the past two decades. Attention is bound to grow further as the world negotiates the prolonged challenges of the Covid‐19 pandemic. In this review, we provide an overview of the main foci, methods, and research designs employed in the crisis and disaster research fields in the ...

Abstract Understanding active tectonics and seismicity in extensional settings requires the analysis of high‐angle normal faults (HANFs) and the transfer of deformation at depth. The debate surrounds the role of low‐angle normal faults (LANFs) in triggering high magnitude earthquakes.

Indicators of Volcanic Eruptions Revealed by Global M4+ Earthquakes
Abstract Determining whether seismicity near volcanoes is due primarily to tectonic or magmatic processes is a challenging but critical endeavor for volcanic eruption forecasting and detection, especially at poorly monitored volcanoes. Global statistics on the occurrence and timing of earthquakes near volcanoes both within and outside of eruptive ...
