byStanford University Credit: CC0 Public Domain In an increasingly urbanized world, population density often leads to more deaths and injuries when floods, typhoons, landslides and other disasters strike cities. But the risks to life and limb are compounded when earthquakes are the agent of destruct...
Figure2a, bprovides a sketch of a dike intrusion and migration, highlighting the regions of stress perturbation and the focal mechanisms of induced seismicity promoted around the dike. Shallow normal faulting earthquakes often accompany dike migration and are generally observed above vertical dikes74. O...
The world’s most powerful earthquakes happen in subduction zones, where one tectonic plate slides beneath the other. When these plates become stuck together, stress builds in the crust of the Earth — like a rubber band being stretched. When enough stress builds up to overcome the friction hol...
777s or the weight of the Eiffel Tower. While this is a very large lateral force, structures can be designed to resist such forces. Tall buildings are routinely designed to resist lateral loads of this magnitude that result from wind or earthquakes. However, it is a matter of how much ...

We evaluate the change in international reserves in the aftermath of significant external shocks by using a quasi-experimental setup and focusing on earthquakes. Our objective is to understand the macroeconomic dynamics of quake-affected countries ex-post, and their ex-ante disaster risk mitigation ...
