A Systemic Model for Understanding Business Interactions With Biodiversity and Ecosystems
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation represent critical threats to human well‐being and economic resilience, challenging businesses to understand and manage their interdependence with natural systems. This study develops a systemic framework—the BioModel—that elucidates the reciprocal relationship between businesses, biodiversity, and ...

Phanerozoic Large Igneous Province, Petroleum System, and Source Rock Links
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 191-228., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Dynamic Finite Element Analysis of RCC Gravity Dam
, 2011 Dynamic finite element analysis for a RCC gravity dam is implemented by using response spectrum method in this paper. Firstly, three-dimensional finite element model is established, and then the subspace iterative method is used in the modal analysis of ...

The 2025 Kamchatka Earthquake and Tsunami: Cascading Impacts and Risks to Japan
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT On July 29th, 2025, a large earthquake (Mw 8.8) occurred near the Kamchatka Peninsula. This event caused a tsunami that reached Japan's Pacific coast, even though the source was far away. In this study, we analyze the characteristics of earthquakes and tsunamis and discuss how they relate to the recurrence possibility and risk in Japan.
