InSAR observations reveal interactions between seismic and aseismic slip during and after the 2016 Mw 6.6 Muji earthquake

Scientific Reports
Studying the relationship between coseismic slip and aseismic creep helps better understand the seismic and aseismic behavior of crustal faults. We use multi-platform synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and global positioning system data to invert for the ...

Foreign labor, peer‐networking and agricultural efficiency in the Italian dairy sector

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
Abstract While the presence of immigrants in the agricultural sector is widely acknowledged, the empirical evidence on its economic consequences is lacking, especially from a microeconomic perspective. Using the Farm Accountancy Data Network panel data for Italian dairy farms in the period 2008–2018, the present study investigates the relationship ...
