Soil–Water Retention Curves Derived as a Function of Soil Dry Density

Yulong Chen · 27 Aug 2018

The soil–water retention curves (SWRC) of soil plays a key role in unsaturated soil mechanics, which is a relatively new field of study having wide applications particularly in geotechnical and geo-environmental engineering. SWRCs were used to evaluate the ability of unsaturated soils to attract water with various water contents and matric suctions. Drying and wetting…

Tsunami Alert Efficiency in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea: The 2 May 2020 Earthquake (Mw6.6) and Near-Field Tsunami South of Crete (Greece)

Gerassimos A. Papadopoulos, Efthymios Lekkas, Katerina-Navsika Katsetsiadou et al. · 30 Jul 2020

The Mediterranean tsunami warning system is based on national monitoring centers (Tsunami Service Providers, TSPs) and operates under the IOC/UNESCO umbrella. For the first time we evaluate in depth the system’s performance for improving its operational effectiveness in conditions of extremely narrow time frames due to the near-field tsunami sources. At time 10 (± 2)…

Fifteen Years of Continuous High-Resolution Borehole Strainmeter Measurements in Eastern Taiwan: An Overview and Perspectives

Alexandre Canitano, Maxime Mouyen, Ya‐Ju Hsu et al. · 16 Jul 2021

As one of the most sensitive instruments for deformation monitoring in geophysics, borehole strainmeter has the capability to record a large spectrum of tectonic and environmental signals. Sensors are usually deployed near active faults and volcanoes and provide high-resolution continuous recordings of seismic and aseismic signals, hydrological variations (rainfall, groundwater level) and natural hazards (tropical…

A Framework for Studying Hydrology-Driven Landslide Hazards in Northwestern US Using Satellite InSAR, Precipitation and Soil Moisture Observations: Early Results and Future Directions

Zhong Lu, Jin‐Woo Kim · 22 Apr 2021

The mountainous Pacific Northwest is prone to heavy winter rainfall, resulting in hundreds of landslides per year, human casualties, and billions of dollars of property damage. Precipitation is a major hydrologic trigger for landslides in the northwestern US and around the world. This paper reviews existing literature to outline a framework to study the linkage…

Seismic Performances of Masonry Educational Buildings during the 2023 Türkiye (Kahramanmaraş) Earthquakes

Ercan Işık, Hüseyin Bilgin, Fatih Avcil et al. · 12 Jul 2024

Huge losses of life and property occurred as a result of two independent catastrophic earthquakes on 6 February 2023 in the Eastern Anatolian Fault Zone, where no significant earthquake has occurred in approximately 500 years. The earthquakes, whose epicenters were in the Pazarcık and Elbistan districts of Kahramanmaraş province at 9 h intervals, had magnitudes…

GeoHazards template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the GeoHazards format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the GeoHazards template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official MDPI format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does GeoHazards use?
GeoHazards uses Numbered (MDPI) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A.; Jones, B.; Lee, C. A Representative Article Title. GeoHazards 2023, 12, 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to GeoHazards?
No. DocuGuru generates the mdpi LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a MDPI-ready GeoHazards document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the GeoHazards template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the GeoHazards format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is GeoHazards?
GeoHazards - MDPI Journal. It is a multidisciplinary journal, published by MDPI.
Can I export a submission-ready GeoHazards PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official GeoHazards template (the mdpi class) that is ready to submit to MDPI, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
