Evolution caused by extreme events [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2017 Extreme events can be a major driver of evolutionary change over geological and contemporary timescales. Outstanding examples are evolutionary diversification following mass extinctions caused by extreme volcanism or asteroid impact. The evolution of organisms in contemporary time is typically viewed as a gradual and incremental process that results ...

Extreme events in transitional turbulence [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2022 Transitional localized turbulence in shear flows is known to either decay to an absorbing laminar state or to proliferate via splitting. The average passage times from one state to the other depend super-exponentially on the Reynolds number and lead to a crossing Reynolds number above which proliferation is more likely than decay.

Outliers, extreme events, and multiscaling [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2001 Extreme events have an important role which is sometime catastrophic in a variety of natural phenomena including climate, earthquakes and turbulence, as well as in man-made environments like financial markets. Statistical analysis and predictions in such systems are complicated by the fact that on the one hand extreme events may appear as "outliers ...

Risk Transfer for Populations in Precarious Urban Environments
International Journal of Disaster Risk Science, 2020 This study explores risk transfer options that precarious and marginal urban communities could use to protect themselves from future damages and losses generated by socio-natural hazards and disasters at the individual and community levels. The design is

Aerodynamic Mitigation of Wind Uplift on Low-Rise Building Roof Using Large-Scale Testing
Frontiers in Built Environment, 2020 During strong wind events such as hurricanes and thunderstorms, building roofs are subjected to high wind uplift forces (suctions), which often lead to severe roofing component damage and possibly, water intrusion.

The 4.2 ka Event and the End of the Maltese “Temple Period”
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 The small size and relatively challenging environmental conditions of the semi-isolated Maltese archipelago mean that the area offers an important case study of societal change and human-environment interactions.
