Impacts of anthropogenic and environmental factors on the occurrence of shallow landslides in an alpine catchment (Urseren Valley, Switzerland) [PDF]
, 2008 Changes in climate and land use pose a risk to stability of alpine soils, but the direction and magnitude of the impact is still discussed controversially with respect to the various alpine regions.

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.

Ethnic Minority Representation After the 2024 General Election: Does Ethnicity No Longer Matter?
The Political Quarterly, Volume 96, Issue 1, Page 127-133, January/March 2025.Abstract With a new record of ethnic minority MPs elected in 2024, Westminster is nearly fully representative of voters of ethnic minority origins. This outcome was not entirely dependent on Labour's landslide, with pre‐election analyses showing that diversity of MPs would have improved with all possible election results.

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.First continental‐scale synthesis of hygropetric beetle diversity and distribution across Neotropical highlands. Climatic and topographic gradients structure regional assemblages and niche overlap. Ecological convergence suggests adaptation to similar conditions across disjunct regions.

Do Banks Learn From Natural Disasters? Evidence From the U.S. Financial Sector
European Financial Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper examines whether U.S. banks learn from natural disasters. We explore several potential channels of adjustment and find that exposed banks primarily respond by adopting precautionary capital measures. This behaviour is evident both in the long run, when assessing divergent trends in the evolution of equity over time, and in the short

Comprehensive landslide susceptibility map of central Asia
, 2023 Abstract. Central Asia is an area characterized by complex tectonics and active deformation; the related seismic activity controls the earthquake hazard level that, due to the occurrence of secondary and tertiary effects, has also direct implications on the hazard related to mass movements as landslides, which are responsible for an extensive number of

Mass movement susceptibility mapping using satellite optical imagery compared with InSAR monitoring: Zigui County, Three Gorges region, China [PDF]
, 2010 Mass movements on steep slopes are a major hazard to communities and infrastructure in the Three Gorges region, China. Developing susceptibility maps of mass movements is therefore very important in both current and future land use planning.

Journal of Financial Research, EarlyView.Abstract This article examines how salient sustainability risks from near‐miss natural disasters influence board composition. Using a difference‐in‐differences design, I find that firms located in counties neighboring disaster‐affected areas significantly increase the presence of directors with sustainability expertise following the disaster.
