Permafrost Distribution in the Canadian Rockies: Key Variables Influencing Patch‐Scale Variability
ABSTRACT The spatial distribution of permafrost in mountainous regions is influenced by various factors such as topography, climate, vegetation, and substrate. Despite the existence of comprehensive permafrost maps at national and global levels, they fail to accurately represent the patch‐scale (e.g., < 25 m) permafrost distribution in characteristic ...

ABSTRACT Under continued climate warming, understanding present‐day permafrost distribution and the controls on ground thaw are critical for predicting permafrost thaw trajectories and associated implications. This study presents a high‐resolution investigation of permafrost extent and active layer thickness (ALT) across a coniferous forested hillslope

ABSTRACT The existence of permafrost was explored at tropical latitude on Nevado Coropuna (southern Peruvian Andes) using a combination of ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) and vertical electrical sounding (VES) in order to strengthen the mutual validation of data processing and interpretation.

Abstract Volcanic edifices show complex internal structures including discontinuities at different scales. These discontinuities can act as zones of weakness and are closely linked to volcanic activity distribution and associated hazards, making their detection and monitoring essential. In this study we investigate the presence of small‐scale faults on

Lobbying and Political Risk Disclosure: Do Socially Responsible Firms Voluntarily Disclose More?
Abstract Drawing on theories of strategic communication, legitimacy, impression management and moral capital, this study investigates whether firms use political risk disclosure to offset negative perceptions associated with corporate lobbying. Using a sample of 10,120 observations from 1362 US firms between 2002 and 2018, we find that firms with ...
