Resolving the biome debate: ecological and palaeo‐data concur that the extensive tree‐limited grassy biomes of central and north‐western Madagascar are largely anthropogenic

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For millennia, human activities have transformed ecosystems globally. Determining which landscapes are predominantly anthropogenic is crucial to conservation and habitat restoration. Madagascar, a critically‐threatened biodiversity hotspot, is a prominent example.

Review and case analysis of dynamic triggering of shallow earthquake in the Weiyuan area, Sichuan Province

open access: yes地球与行星物理论评
Dynamic triggering refers to the phenomenon of teleseismic waves propagating to some areas in a near-critical stress state, thus triggering earthquakes. Shallow earthquakes are the type of earthquakes that are most commonly triggered.

Post-earthquake assessment of moderately damaged reinforced concrete plastic hinges

open access: yes, 2020
Modern reinforced concrete buildings are often designed to dissipate energy during strong earthquakes by permitting the controlled formation of plastic hinges. Plastic hinges require assessment of residual capacity in post-earthquake situations. However,

Applying unsupervised machine-learning algorithms and MUSIC back-projection to characterize 2018–2022 Hualien earthquake sequence

open access: yesTerrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2022
Key points 1. We used unsupervised machine-learning algorithms DBSCAN and PCA to study the 2018–2022 Hualien earthquake sequence. 2. A deep westward-dipping and a shallow rotation structure system are revealed from earthquake clusters close to the ...

Evidence for rainfall‐triggered earthquake activity [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2006
Fluids are known to be of major importance for the earthquake generation because pore pressure variations alter the strength of faults. Thus they can initiate earthquakes if the crust is close enough to its critical state. Based on the observations of the isolated seismicity below the densely monitored Mt.

Supply Chain Network, ESG Scores and Financial Performance

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper provides novel evidence on the role of supply chain networks in influencing firms' environmental, social and governance (ESG) scores and financial performance. Our analysis employs financial, board, ESG and supply chain data, resulting in an unbalanced panel of over 16,000 firm‐year observations from 3028 publicly traded US firms ...

The use of the SPT-based seismic soil liquefaction triggering evaluation methodology in engineering hazard assessments

open access: yesMethodsX, 2018
Probabilistic and deterministic seismic soil liquefaction triggering methodologies are proposed in Cetin et al. [1]. This manuscript: i) presents the protocols, which need to be followed for the correct use of this methodology for forward engineering ...

A Hydrofracturing-Triggered Earthquake Occurred Three Years after the Stimulation

open access: yesEnergies, 2022
Hydrofracturing, used for shale gas exploitation, may induce felt, even damaging earthquakes. On 15 June 2019, an Mw2.8 earthquake occurred, spatially correlated with the location of earlier exploratory hydrofracturing operations for shale gas in Wysin ...

Weather Action: A Study on the Industry Peer Effects of Corporate Climate Risk Information Disclosure

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global climate change has elevated the strategic importance of corporate climate risk disclosure, yet the role of industry peer effects in shaping such disclosure remains underexplored. Grounded in social learning theory, this study proposes an “observation–imitation–reinforcement” framework and empirically tests it using panel data on Chinese
