To clarify the relationship between GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) crustal deformation and the preparation of strong earthquakes in the western Chinese Mainland, a series of methods including velocity field, strain rate field, and strain parameter time series are adopted based on the GNSS observation data from the CMONOC (Crustal Movement Observation Network of China). The abnormal characteristics of crustal deformation movement before the M ≥ 5 earthquakes in the area since 1999 are studied. The corresponding variety of the crustal movement before earthquakes is discussed in combination with the seismogenic structure of earthquakes. The abnormalities of the GNSS velocity field, strain field, and strain parameter time series before earthquakes with different magnitudes are proposed. Finally, the anomaly criterion before medium-strong-large earthquakes in the western Chinese Mainland is proposed according to the GNSS and its combination with the characteristics of geological structure. The results can provide a basis for the forecasting of the trend and location of medium-strong-large earthquakes in the western Chinese Mainland.

The 2023 Turkey earthquake, one of the most devastating natural disasters in recent history, highlighted the need to understand factors driving public support. This study aimed to explore the determinants of donation and volunteer intentions for earthquake victims by integrating Protection Motivation Theory and the Extended Theory of Planned Behavior. Using a convenience sampling approach, an online questionnaire with 76 items was distributed to 509 voluntary respondents.

In the aftermath of the 2011 east Japanese earthquake and tsunami, anthropogenic debris from the east coast of Japan floated across the Pacific Ocean to the west coast of North America. One such vessel from Iwate Prefecture arrived on the coast of Oregon, and the fouling community included specimens identified as the nudibranch Hermissenda crassicornis, which was previously thought to range from Japan to Baja California but has since been split into three species: H. crassicornis (northeastern Pacific), H.

The mountainous region, which holds a diverse ecosystem providing services of global importance, is fragile owing to the varied topography and continuous human pressure. The risk from natural hazards in mountainous regions is substantial posing significant challenges and causing causalities. Northwestern Himalayas being located in the junction of the Eurasian and Indo-Australian plates are delicate and face the brunt of vagaries from multiple hazards as well as anthropogenic pressure.

The western Alpine belt is the focal point of moderate but constant seismic activity. Numerous geodynamic and seismological studies underline the many scientific questions linked to Alpine dynamic processes and the associated rate of deformation resulting from late continental collision phases, and the assessment of seismic hazard and its associated risks. Seismic monitoring in the northern French Alps was launched in 1987 with the installation of the first seismological network, hosted by the Earth Science Observatory at Grenoble Alpes University.
