From Green Governance to Biodiversity Strategy: The Role of Environmentally Experienced Directors in Chinese Firms

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how directors with environmental protection (EP) backgrounds influence corporate biodiversity concern (BIO) among Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2008 to 2023. Drawing on Upper Echelons Theory, we argue that directors' environmental expertise shapes firms' biodiversity strategies.

A Storm Hazard Matrix combining coastal flooding and beach erosion

Coastal Engineering, 2020
Coastal storms cause widespread damage to property, infrastructure, economic activity and the environment. Along open sandy coastlines, two of the primary coastal storm hazards are coastal flooding by elevated ocean water levels and beach erosion as the ...

Storm surge, seawater flooding, and sea-level rise paradoxically drive fresh surface water expansion

Environmental Research Letters
Coastal storms and sea-level rise (SLR) are expected to increase seawater flooding in low-elevation coastal zones. High sea levels and seawater flooding can drive groundwater table rise via ocean-aquifer connections.

Prediction of coastal flooding risk under climate change impacts in South Korea using machine learning algorithms

Environmental Research Letters, 2020
Coastal areas have been affected by hazards such as floods and storms due to the impact of climate change. As coastal systems continue to become more socially and environmentally complex, the damage these hazards cause is expected to increase and ...

From distant shores to an emerging island: the role of surface and subsurface transport in modeling seed dispersal

Ecography, EarlyView.
Long‐distance seed dispersal by ocean currents plays a critical role in structuring coastal plant communities. As direct observations of this phenomenon are infeasible, numerical modeling is a valuable tool. Here, we use Lagrangian particle tracking to examine the colonization of the newly forming island Norderoogsand (German Bight, Wadden Sea) by five

Characterizing Storm-Induced Coastal Flooding Using SAR Imagery and Deep Learning

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
Flooding is among the most common yet costly worldwide annual disasters. Previous studies have proven that synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is an effective tool for flooding observation due to its high-resolution and timely observations, and deep learning ...

Nature‐Based Solutions for Climate Adaptation: Review of Barriers to Adoption and Guidelines for Policymakers

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nature‐based solutions (NBS) for climate adaptation encompass a range of approaches that work with nature to increase resilience to climate change while providing ecological, economic and social co‐benefits. These solutions have frequently been put forward for application in urban contexts, such as the creation of urban forests, but can ...
