‘You know you're going to get through this’: Volunteers and long‐term disaster recovery

open access: yesDisasters, Volume 50, Issue 4, October 2026.
Abstract As nature‐induced disasters intensify and reliance on volunteer support grows, volunteers are now increasingly critical to disaster response and recovery, particularly in countries like Australia. This paper advances our empirical understanding of volunteer contributions to long‐term disaster recovery.

Solitons and Tsunamis

open access: yes, 2009
We discuss the relevance of soliton theory to the modeling of tsunami waves. Our analysis shows that for the two most devastating tsunamis of the last century, the 2004 Bay of Bengal and the 1960 Chile tsunami, the propagation distances were too short ...

Disaster Relief Through a Complex Adaptive System Perspective: Firms' Motivations, Activities, and the Role of Operations Adaptability in Overlapping Landscapes

open access: yesJournal of Business Logistics, Volume 47, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Natural disasters disrupt the normal functioning of both communities and businesses. However, past literature often segregates the disaster relief view from the business continuity perspective, leaving a gap in understanding how firms can proactively support relief efforts.

The Three Tsunamis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We often talk about how different our world is from our parent's world. We then extrapolate this thinking to our children and try to imagine the world they will face. This is hard enough. However, change is changing! The rate at which change is occurring

From referendum to reconciliation: How shared values and identities align with a commitment to long‐term collective action

open access: yesPolitical Psychology, Volume 47, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract One formal mechanism for effecting change to progress the rights of structurally disadvantaged groups is via citizen referenda. However, referenda are often characterized by divisive public debate. We suggest that sustaining action for long‐term change (beyond a referendum itself) may be associated with identifying with an opinion‐based group ...

Along‐Strike Coupling Heterogeneity in Cascadia's Slow‐Slip Zone Constrained by GNSS and Reduced‐Order Rate‐And‐State Friction Modeling

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Slow slip events (SSEs) in the Cascadia subduction zone exhibit along‐strike segmentation, where the central segment has longer recurrence intervals but smaller moments. We quantify the controls on this variability by combining geodetic inter‐SSE coupling inversion with Bayesian inference of a quasi‐dynamic rate‐and‐state friction SSE‐cycle ...

Structural Heterogeneity Shapes Segmentation of Megathrust Earthquakes and Volcanism in Central America

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract The mechanisms underlying the patchy distribution of forearc megathrust earthquakes and arc volcanoes in subduction zones remain poorly understood. Here we present a high‐resolution seismic tomographic model of the Central American subduction zone, derived from a joint inversion of local body‐wave and teleseismic Rayleigh‐wave data.

Near‐Field Acoustic and Gravity Wave Modes in the Ionosphere Triggered by Ground Motion and Tsunami During the 2024 Mw7.4 Hualien Earthquake

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract The interaction between the atmosphere and other components of the Earth system, such as the solid Earth and the oceans, remains an open and active area of research. In particular, the dynamic response of the ionosphere to forcing from below, such as earthquakes and tsunamis, is not yet fully understood.
