Short summary
Short summary
In August 2024, a powerful storm hit Romania’s Black Sea coast, breaking rainfall records. We used a mix of ground and satellite sensors to track the storm’s development and impacts. The data revealed clear signs of intense rainfall, lightning, and ground vibrations likely linked to storm activity. Our study shows that combining different types of sensors can improve how we monitor extreme storms and may help in building better early-warning systems in coastal areas.

Short summary
The lockdown imposed in Romania to prevent the spread of COVID-19 has significantly impacted human activity across the country. By analyzing the ground vibrations recorded at seismic stations, we were able to monitor the changes in human activity before and during the lockdown.
The reduced human activity during the lockdown has also provided a good opportunity for stations sited in noisy urban areas to record earthquake signals that would not have been recorded under normal conditions.

Short summary
We utilize two decades of continuous GPS data to investigate crustal deformation in Romania, a region that has long been regarded as tectonically stable. Despite the end of major collisions millions of years ago, subcrustal earthquakes and active faults indicate ongoing strain. We estimate horizontal and vertical velocities, strain rates, and dominant deformation styles. Our results reveal localized uplift and extension in the foreland, linked to slab dynamics beneath the southeast Carpathians.
