Seismic risk communication in Europe: trends and effectiveness evaluation

Seismic risk communication (SRC) is a crucial element of disaster risk management, vital for enhancing awareness and fostering preparedness. In this study, we build on insights from a scoping review of SRC in Europe from 2000 to 2022. Our findings highlight the evolution of approaches, tools, and models in SRC across Europe, confirming the surge in interest since 2000. We extend previous research by analysing the increasing trend in SRC publications and by providing an overview of how communi...

Geological and Petrophysical Properties of Underground Gas Storage Facilities in Ukraine and Their Potential for Hydrogen and CO2 Storage

This article provides detailed geological and reservoir data on the existing underground gas storage (UGS) facilities in Ukraine and their prospects for hydrogen (H2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) storage. The H2 and CO2 storage issue is an integral part of the decarbonisation of Ukraine and Europe as a whole. A detailed assessment of UGS in Ukraine was carried out in the framework of the EU Horizon 2020 project Hystories, which is about the possibility of the geological storage of H2. A database ...

Glider observations in the Western Mediterranean Sea: their assimilation and impact assessment using four analysis and forecasting systems

We present an impact assessment of temperature and salinity glider observations on physical analysis and forecasting systems operating in the Western Mediterranean Sea through one-year-long coordinated experiments. A unique set of glider observations including data from several endurance lines provided by different institutions is assimilated in the three systems. Results are compared against an assimilation-free run and an assimilative-run that with each systems' default configuration. Moreo...
