Lid induced sloshing suppression and evaluation of wall stresses in a liquid storage tank including seismic soil‐structure interaction

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 51, Issue 11, Page 2708-2729, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Aboveground liquid storage tanks are often found on weak compressive soil due to their proximity to harbours and rivers. These soil conditions lead to a high probability of significant soil‐structure interaction (SSI) under earthquake loading.

From Long‐ to Short‐Term Inter‐Plate Coupling at the Subducted Carnegie Ridge Crest, Offshore Central Ecuador

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 127, Issue 8, August 2022., 2022
Abstract We investigate the relationship between the long‐term (Quaternary) interplate coupling and the short‐term geodetically derived interseismic coupling at the Central Ecuador subduction zone. At this nonaccretionary margin, the Cabo Pasado shelf promontory and coastal area are associated with two inter‐plate geodetically locked patches.

Modeling population effects of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill on a long‐lived species

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 4, August 2022., 2022
Abstract The 2010 Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill exposed common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in Barataria Bay, Louisiana to heavy oiling that caused increased mortality and chronic disease and impaired reproduction in surviving dolphins. We conducted photographic surveys and veterinary assessments in the decade following the spill.

Flexural‐isostatic reconstruction of the Western Mediterranean during the Messinian Salinity Crisis: Implications for water level and basin connectivity

Basin Research, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 50-80, February 2022., 2022
Erosional surfaces and deposits linked to the Messinian Salinity Crisis are restored to their original depth by planform flexural‐isostatic backstripping. A large seismic dataset covering the Western Mediterranean is used to constrain the current depth of Messinian markers, and by matching the water level to interpreted shoreline markers at the bottom ...

The anti‐politics of sustainable development: Environmental critique from assemblage thinking in Bolivia

Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 46, Issue 1, Page 208-222, March 2021., 2021
In this paper I argue that assemblage theory provides an innovative way to extend critique of sustainable development as it is being remade by the 2015 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Drawing on recent fieldwork in Bolivia, I examine the early take‐up and implementation of the SDGs in a site of intensifying resource extraction and ...

Protecting biodiversity and economic returns in resource‐rich tropical forests

Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 263-273, February 2021., 2021
Abstract In pursuit of socioeconomic development, many countries are expanding oil and mineral extraction into tropical forests. These activities seed access to remote, biologically rich areas, thereby endangering global biodiversity. We examined how protection of biodiversity and economic revenues can be balanced in biologically valuable regions ...
