In this paper seismic events are simulated using a modified Olami–Feder–Christensen (OFC) model, within the framework of self-organized criticality.

The results from this case study demonstrate a significant improvement of the volcanic ash simulation when using Aeolus-assimilated meteorological fields, with differences in wind speed reaching up to 8 m/s when compared to the control run.

This study aims to explore the specific quality of mental health risks for cultural heritage first aiders, analyzing the emotional impact of the sight of cultural heritage ruins on a sample of cultural heritage first aiders.
