Addressing path dependencies in decision-making processes for operationalizing compound climate-risk management

iScience, 2023
Summary: The need for a compound risk governance system and management practice is argued in this paper. We find that, historically, risk management strategies have been developed for single hazards and are often subject to path dependency.

Connected in diversity: Isotopic analysis refines provenance for Islamic plant-ash glass from the eastern Silk Roads

iScience, 2023
Summary: Our understanding of glass production in Eurasia has been built mostly on evidence from Europe and the Mediterranean. Here, we investigate the occurrence and organization of plant-ash glass production in the eastern continental Islamic region ...

Seismometers Within Cities: A Tool to Connect Earth Sciences and Society

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020
The high degree of human activities in urban environments produces large background vibrations that makes it difficult to use data acquired in these areas for classical seismology.

Nature-based climate solutions require a mix of socioeconomic and governance attributes

iScience, 2022
Summary: Nature-based climate solutions (NCS) can play a crucial role in reducing climate change. There is, however, a lack of understanding of the biophysical, social, and political contexts surrounding NCS, which hampers its practical implementation ...
