Earthquake Moment Magnitudes from Peak Ground Displacements and Synthetic Green's Functions

Seismica
We suggest an approach employing full waveforms from synthetic seismograms to estimate moment magnitudes and their uncertainties from peak amplitudes. The new method is theoretically derived.

English teachers' journeys since the 2020 Iteration of Black Lives Matter

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The 2020 resurgence of Black Lives Matter (BLM) mobilised students in England to demand greater representation of racially minoritised voices in English curriculums—a call highlighted by stark inequity: just 1.5% of GCSE texts studied are by racially minoritised authors, despite racially minoritised students comprising 38.0% of the student ...

Shear wave splitting and seismic velocity structure in the focal area of the earthquake swarm and their relation with earthquake swarm activity in the Noto Peninsula, central Japan

Earth, Planets and Space
Seismic activity in the Noto region of Ishikawa Prefecture, central Japan, has increased since August 2020 and has continued as of August 2023. Stress changes due to subsurface sources and increases in fluid pressure have been discussed as the causes of ...

Bourdieu in Aotearoa New Zealand: A systematic review of theoretical applications in educational research, 2000–2025

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This article presents the first systematic review of scholarship applying Pierre Bourdieu's theoretical framework in New Zealand educational research, drawing on 30 peer‐reviewed studies published between 2000 and 2025. Following PRISMA guidelines, studies were coded for Bourdieusian concepts applied, depth of theoretical application ...

Data from: Contained Laboratory Earthquakes Ranging From Slow To Fast

, 2019
Loading a 3-meter granite slab containing a saw-cut simulated fault, we generated slip events that spontaneously nucleate, propagate, and arrest before reaching the ends of the sample. This work shows that slow (0.07 mm/s slip speeds) and fast (100 mm/s)

Measuring Impulse-DSI and its Derivatives Via the Isometric Belt Squat: Assessing Relationships with Sprint Ability Among Division 1 Team Sport Athletes

International Journal of Strength and Conditioning
The dynamic strength index (DSI) is a common athlete profiling tool that has traditionally been derived as the ratio between the peak force in the isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) and the countermovement jump (CMJ) to identify ballistic strength deficits.

Comparison between the Hamiltonian Monte Carlo method and the Metropolis–Hastings method for coseismic fault model estimation

Earth, Planets and Space, 2022
A rapid source fault estimation and quantitative assessment of the uncertainty of the estimated model can elucidate the occurrence mechanism of earthquakes and inform disaster damage mitigation.

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

Biological 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.

A deformation-driven earthquake interaction model for seismicity at Campi Flegrei

Communications Earth & Environment
Since 2005, the Campi Flegrei nested caldera volcano, located about 10 km west of Naples, Italy, has experienced accelerating uplift accompanied by increased seismicity, raising concerns in this densely populated area.

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.
