Cryostratigraphy of Rhythmic Segregated Ice in Colluvium and Implications for Permafrost Slope Stability

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The amount and stratigraphic setting of ground ice in permafrost slopes is a key control on the style and magnitude of permafrost mass wasting. Understanding the spatial and stratigraphic variations in ground ice distribution on permafrost slopes is therefore a fundamental property in assessing the stability of permafrost hillslopes.

From space-time landslide susceptibility to landslide risk forecast

, 2023
The literature on landslide susceptibility is rich with examples that span a large number of topics. However, the component that pertains to the extension of the susceptibility framework toward space-time modeling is largely unexplored. This statement is even more valid when looking at the landslide risk context, where hardly any scientific ...

Permafrost Terrain Disturbance Susceptibility in the Nacho Nyäk Tagé (Stewart River) Watershed, Yukon, Canada

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Nacho Nyäk Tagé (Stewart River) watershed in central Yukon (Canada) is characterized by discontinuous permafrost that is locally highly sensitive to thaw. This study aims to map the spatial distribution of permafrost terrain disturbances (PTDs) in the watershed and model thaw susceptibility to support community‐led land‐use planning by the

Spatial Modeling in Landslide Susceptibility

Indonesian Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2017
<p class="Style2">Landslide Susceptibility Mapping is one of the mitigation effort to detect vulnerable areas for minimizing the risk of landslide disasters. This paper describes spatial model development for assessing landslide susceptibility by considering human and biophysical factors.

Transformative Pathways for Strengthening Climate‐Resilient Health Systems Among Indigenous Communities: Advancing Equity and Sustainability in Global Health

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Most climate‐resilience health interventions are designed at the global level, with minimal attention to Indigenous communities' needs. The lack of consideration can lead to unintended harm and exacerbate health risks. This study aims to identify the capacities of Indigenous communities that can serve as transformative pathways in safely ...

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.

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.
