Dutch dilemma: Housing prices and flood risk exposure

Real Estate Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This article studies the impact of flood risk exposure on housing prices in a major river delta. Analyzing 1.8 million property transactions from 1998 to 2023 in the Netherlands, we find an average price discount of 1.1%. We observe considerable heterogeneity in price effects driven by exposure intensity, institutional settings that vary ...

Cooling Effect of Crushed Rock-Based Embankment along the Chaidaer-Muli Railway

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2015
This paper presents an experimental study of the cooling effect of crushed rock-based embankment on slope wetlands along the Chaidaer-Muli Railway. The result shows that only the embankment shady side can be effectively cooled down in a warm permafrost ...

Water Beings and Capitalist Relations in India's Sundarbans Delta

American Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article explores entanglements between water cosmologies and capitalist transformation in the Sundarbans delta of West Bengal, India. It traces how “awakened” tidal creeks have been iteratively enclosed as private fisheries from the colonial period to the present, with particular focus on the expansion of commercial aquaculture over the ...

Risks of concealing environmental degradation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Current practice seeks to conceal the visual impact of land‐use change (i.e., development). Six percent of development impact assessments in Australia and 14% of the World Bank's assessments recommend visual impact mitigation. This mitigation results in, for example, vegetated buffer strips alongside cleared agricultural areas and earthen ...

Assessing the Impact of Urbanization on Grasshopper Behaviour—A Fieldwork Approach

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urbanization is one of the most significant land‐use changes globally, profoundly impacting biodiversity across taxa. Insects, including grasshoppers (Orthoptera), are particularly sensitive to urban pressures, often exhibiting both morphological and behavioural adaptations.

Embankment loading analysis in laboratory conditions

Ingeniería e Investigación, 2011
The embankment model has been developed in laboratory conditions, considering actual embankment characteristics. The forces to which it is subjected in the model have been evaluated using shaking table experimental and analytical methods.
