Summary: Research has shown that there were indications of a potential great megathrust earthquake in NE Japan before the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, but a consensus assessment of the hazard was lacking. Since the earthquake, studies have made significant progress in revealing aspects such as coseismic rupture, aftershocks, and slow earthquakes.

Summary: The 7.2 magnitude earthquake that occurred in Nippes, Haiti on August 14, 2021 ruptured multiple segments of the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden Fault Zone. The fault slip occurred on both sides of a restraining bend, resulting in reverse-slip and left-lateral slip. Afterslip also occurred at shallow depths in the vicinity of the coseismic rupture areas.

Summary: Following the devastating 7.0-magnitude earthquake in 2010, Haiti's health system and medical education faced challenges and overwhelming demand for clinical care. To address this, the authors and their institutions supported the development of a teaching hospital prioritizing the health of Haiti's rural poor. By strategically investing in graduate medical education, Haiti successfully tackled post-disaster healthcare needs and progressed towards a more reliable health system.

Summary: On 14 August 2021, a magnitude Mw 7.2 earthquake struck the Southern Peninsula of Haiti, rupturing a segment of the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden Fault system (EPGF). The earthquake first ruptured a north-dipping fault, possibly the EPGF itself or a parallel fault, and then continued on a vertical strike-slip fault called the Ravine du Sud fault. The seismic slip distribution and regional deformation pattern indicate a segmentation of the fault system and call for a revision of earthquake hazard maps.

Summary: This study examines the average causal impact of the 2010 earthquake in Haiti on economic growth and recovery at the subnational level. The results show a significant decrease in economic growth in the short-term due to the earthquake, and this decline persists even ten years after the disaster. Therefore, this study provides new insights into the short and long-run economic growth effects of major natural disasters.

Summary: On August 14, 2021, a magnitude 7.2 earthquake struck Haiti, causing over 2,000 fatalities, 15,000 injuries, and more than 137,000 structural failures. Due to the ongoing Covid pandemic and complex political and security situation in Haiti, it was not feasible for earthquake engineers from the UK to assess the damage and learn lessons for future construction. Instead, a hybrid mission was carried out by the Earthquake Engineering Field Investigation Team (EEFIT), using open-source information and remote sensing data to characterize the earthquake and conduct remote structural damage assessments.

Summary: This study uses a multi-sensor analysis to estimate the changes in atmospheric parameters before the M-w 7.2 Haiti Earthquake and identifies anomalies in land surface temperature, air temperature, relative humidity, air pressure, and outgoing longwave radiation. These anomalies provide insight into the Lithosphere-Atmosphere-Ionosphere Coupling and can potentially be used for earthquake prediction.

Summary: This study uses a Monte Carlo simulation framework to analyze the impact of smartphone network geometry on the earthquake detection capability and system performance of earthquake early warning systems. The study finds that the earthquake early warning system in Haiti may provide warning times of up to 12 seconds for high-intensity areas with low citizen involvement.

Summary: This research focuses on determining the mechanical properties of masonry structures through on-site testing. Commonly used methods are briefly explained, and the flat-jack method is described in detail, which provides valuable information on vertical stresses, modulus of elasticity, and shear strength of masonry walls. The goal of this paper is to introduce the theoretical background and practical issues of the flat-jack method, including its potential shortcomings, practical advice, and improvements. Conclusions are drawn from an extensive experimental campaign in post-earthquake assessments in Croatia, involving seventeen case study buildings and over thirty-five test locations.

Summary: On August 14, 2021, a devastating magnitude 7.2 earthquake struck Southern Haiti, causing severe damage and over 2000 casualties. Integrated seismological analyses revealed that the earthquake first ruptured a blind thrust fault and then propagated to a disconnected strike-slip fault. The complex rupture process suggests that the regional deformation is accommodated by a network of segmented faults with diverse faulting conditions.

Summary: The scientific community has made rapid progress in searching for earthquake signatures in atmospheric, ionospheric, and magnetospheric media. This study presents a multi-instrument analysis of a low-latitude seismic event using high-quality data from both ground stations and satellites. The findings confirm the link between the lithosphere, atmosphere, ionosphere, and magnetosphere and provide insights into the mechanisms behind earthquake-triggered anomalies.

Summary: This article explores how community resilience in action is supported, hindered or ignored by the state and non-state organizations in developmental contexts. It draws examples from case studies in India and Haiti to discuss the potential contribution of community resilience in enhancing institutional responses under uncertainty.

Summary: This study evaluates the spatial and size distributions of coseismic landslides triggered by the 2021 Haiti earthquake and their controlling factors. The results show that the landslides were concentrated in the western section of the Tiburon Peninsula, especially within Pic Macaya National Park. The study also found that limestone is the dominant rock in the area and rainfall has a positive relationship with landslide concentration.

Summary: This article, based on 20 years of activist engagement and ethnographic interviews spanning 11 years, offers ethnographically grounded understandings of solidarity activism. The data suggest that contradictions inherent to liberal humanism can increase hierarchies and social distance between groups across national boundaries. Despite the presence of new social media technologies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) remain dominant vehicles for transnational exchange.

Summary: The study utilized UAVSAR interferograms to analyze fault slip triggered by the El Mayor-Cucapah earthquake, revealing significant off-fault deformation and secondary surface ruptures. Edge detection and transverse curve fitting were applied to identify the location and local strike of the ruptures, providing insights into the surface deformation.
