The Contribution of DAS to the Routine Monitoring of Seismicity in Oceanic Islands: The Case for Faial (Azores)

Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) deployed on submarine telecom cables is bound to revolutionize the earthquake monitoring routine currently performed by seismic network operators, particularly in domains where most seismic activity originates offshore. In this work, we analyze...

An Empirical Express Method for Clay Slope Stability Assessment Based on Slip Surface Geometry and Factor of Safety Prediction

Clay slopes are particularly sensitive to variations in soil strength, groundwater conditions, and slope geometry, making their rapid and reliable assessment essential for geotechnical design, landslide prevention, and infrastructure risk management. This study develops and evalu...
