TWO-DIMENSIONAL SIMULATIONS OF EXPLOSIVE ERUPTIONS OF KICK-EM JENNY AND OTHER SUBMARINE VOLCANOS [PDF]
Science of Tsunami Hazards, 2006 Kick-em Jenny, in the Eastern Caribbean, is a submerged volcanic cone that has erupted a dozen or more times since its discovery in 1939. The most likely hazard posed by this volcano is to shipping in the immediate vicinity (through volcanic missiles or ...

Fleshing out Law: Embodied Encounters and the Material Geographies of Legal Space
Area, EarlyView.Short Abstract This article explores how legality is produced, negotiated and contested through embodied encounters in urban courtrooms. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in German district courts, it develops the modalities of appearing, suspending and filtering to analyse how bodies are made to perform, endure and navigate legal processes.

The Red Dawn of Geoengineering: First Step Toward an Effective Governance for Stratospheric Injections [PDF]
, 2016 A landmark report by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) issued in 2015 is the latest in a series of scientific studies to assess the feasibility of geoengineering with stratospheric aerosols to offset anthropogenic global warming and to conclude that

Lattice Boltzmann modeling to explain volcano acoustic source
Scientific Reports, 2018 Acoustic pressure is largely used to monitor explosive activity at volcanoes and has become one of the most promising technique to monitor volcanoes also at large scale. However, no clear relation between the fluid dynamics of explosive eruptions and the

Standing shock prevents propagation of sparks in supersonic explosive flows
Communications Earth & Environment, 2021 Images of electrical sparks in shock tube experiments with supersonic outflows show how standing shocks regulate electrical breakdown. The resulting radio frequency emission could diagnose flow structure in other explosive events such as volcanic ...

Chasing the perfida Albione: Anglo‐Italian productivity gap in the late 1930s
The Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract This paper presents new estimates of Anglo‐Italian labour productivity levels in manufacturing in the late 1930s, derived using the standard single‐deflation approach. The findings confirm a substantial productivity gap between Italy and the United Kingdom at the aggregate level, alongside pronounced intersectoral heterogeneity.

The physical mechanisms that initiate and drive solar eruptions [PDF]
, 2013 Solar eruptions are due to a sudden destabilization of force-free coronal magnetic fields. But the detailed mechanisms which can bring the corona towards an eruptive stage, then trigger and drive the eruption, and finally make it explosive, are not fully

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract The 1430s were characterized by extreme weather conditions, food and fodder shortages, and high mortalities among animals and humans, although the severity of events and their consequences in England have received limited attention. The economic downturn and the depressed customary land market in this decade marked the beginning of the Great ...

Early‐Life Disaster Exposure and the Investment Response to Monetary Policy
Financial Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We place CEOs' formative experiences at the center of analyzing how firms respond to monetary policy. Specifically, we examine how early‐life exposure to natural disasters shapes CEOs’ investment behavior following monetary shocks. CEOs with exposure to moderate natural disasters during their formative years exhibit stronger risk‐taking ...
