The costs of extra‐pair behaviours in birds

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extra‐pair behaviours – reproductive behaviours, including those related to copulation and paternity of offspring, amongst animals outside of a social pair bond – have long intrigued behavioural ecologists, particularly from the female animal's perspective.

Green Finance, Digitalization, and Banks' Sustainable Business Model Innovations Toward Net‐Zero Transitions

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Financial capital is widely recognized as having the potential to provide investments needed for net‐zero transitions. While recent empirical studies reveal that financial digitalization and fintech have changed Chinese banks' loan portfolios and business models, they stem from credit restrictions on heavily polluting enterprises and from ...

Multi-hazard analysis of abandoned coal-mines

, 2023
Nowadays, most of the coal mines in Europe are already closed or are in a state of liquidation. However, the problem of abandoned coal mines and their influence on the environment remains central for the mining industry and coal regions in transition. After the end of the exploitation, many disturbances can occur. Mines operators, local authorities and

Asset Redeployability and Biodiversity Risk

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine how asset redeployability influences a firm's exposure to biodiversity risk. Our empirical analysis provides robust evidence that firms possessing greater levels of redeployable assets exhibit significantly lower biodiversity risk.

Slip versus dilation tendency parameter space as a tool for prospecting structurally controlled geothermal systems in greenfield: insights from the greater Ruhr region

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study highlights that with the static and time‐dependent evolution of slip versus dilation tendency parameter space, structurally controlled deep geothermal systems can be selected within areas of higher permeability and lower seismic hazard. Abstract Faults play a vital role in the Earth's hydraulic system by facilitating fluid flow when dilating

Semi‐analytical solution for the stability of deep vertical shaft considering time‐dependent rock‐structure interaction

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
A novel cavity contraction solution and multilayer shaft wall model were developed to analyze deep shaft stability, considering rock viscosity, support structures, and water pressure, with successful validation through a Hulusu Coal Mine case study.

Carbon emission assessment of tunnel infrastructures: From construction to operation

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study develops a lifecycle carbon accounting framework for tunnel infrastructures, covering design, construction, operation, maintenance, and dismantling. Applied to a subsea tunnel case, the framework reveals the carbon emission distribution among four typical tunnel types and highlights potential carbon offset methods for low‐carbon tunnel ...

Application of Flowback Water and GOPS on the Prevention of Acid Mine Drainage in the Mather Mine [PDF]

, 2013
Acid mine drainage (AMD) is an environmental pollutant that degrades water bodies and harms aquatic life. In the Appalachian Mountains of the eastern U.S., over 7,500 miles of streams are impacted by AMD.
