Understanding the impact of noise on marine fauna at the population level requires knowledge about the vulnerability of different life-stages. Here we provide the first evidence that noise exposure during larval development produces body malformations in marine invertebrates. Scallop larvae exposed to playbacks of seismic pulses showed significant developmental delays and 46% developed body abn...

This article proposes a vulnerability assessment model for evaluating buildings’ expected seismic performance, as well their to tsunamis. The objective of this is provide appropriate information decision makers regarding the need repairs and reinforcement buildings or other mitigation measures that be applied in territory. A procedure assessing another methodology tsunami faced by coastal struc...
