Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
This study uses Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to investigate earthquake-induced deformation in Turkey’s Hatay region after significant earthquakes in February 2023. The study employs UAV photogrammetry to get high-resolution 3D modeling and aerial imagery to analyze surface deformations and fractures in the bedrock. Results show extensive fractures and fragmentation, with 7 cracks ranging from 24.11 to 497.69 m in length. Two subsidence areas are identified, measuring 23,060.8 m² and 13,954.2 m² respectively, with elevation changes of up to 20 m. Profile analysis within the subsidence area reveals the extent of physical deformations. The accuracy and precision of the photogrammetric products are validated with a Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 4.6 cm, indicating high accuracy. The 3 Dimensional (3D) models and observed fractures provide insights into the spatial patterns and magnitudes of surface deformations. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of UAV-based data in analyzing earthquake-induced deformations and landscape changes, offering a foundation for future research.
