Landslide Hazard and Rainfall Threshold Assessment: Incorporating Shallow and Deep-Seated Failure Mechanisms with Physics-Based Models

Geosciences
Landslides pose a significant threat worldwide, leading to numerous fatalities and severe economic losses. The city of Manizales, located in the Colombian Andes, is particularly vulnerable due to its steep topography and permeable volcanic ash-derived ...

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

Prohibited Plants: Converging Sustainability Transitions and Local Development in ‘Left‐Behind Places’

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the relationship between sustainability transitions and local development through the case of Colombia's medicinal cannabis industry. It highlights how neglecting place‐specific needs and development expectations can hinder equitable transitions and reinforce existing socio‐economic disparities.

Urban Housing Markets and Sustainability Risk: Empirical Evidence From South African Cities

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite the global shift toward sustainability and rising expectations for socially and environmentally responsible housing, evidence from South Africa's urban markets remains limited and underexplored. This study examines how sustainability‐related vulnerabilities shape downside housing risk across 60 cities between 2002 and 2021.

Construction of a Joint Newmark–Runout Model for Seismic Landslide Risk Identification: A Case Study in the Eastern Tibetan Plateau

Land
The key to seismic landslide risk identification resides in the accurate evaluation of seismic landslide hazards. The traditional evaluation models for seismic landslide hazard seldom consider the landslide dynamic runout process, leading to an ...

Extreme Weather Events and Agricultural Total Factor Productivity Growth

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The productivity of the agricultural sector is crucial for food security in a changing climate. This study estimates the impacts of extreme weather events on agricultural total factor productivity (TFP) growth, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the effects of climate change on agriculture.
