Characterizing Drivers of Asia's Black Elephant Disaster Risks
Abstract Asia has the fastest growing population and economy, but it is also the most disaster‐prone region in the world. Resilience to disaster impacts from natural hazards will be key to the long‐term sustainability of this rapidly growing region. The first step to building resilience is to identify the key threats that this region faces. We describe

Lava World: Exoplanet Surfaces [PDF]
The recent first measurements of the reflection of the surface of a lava world provides an unprecedented opportunity to investigate different stages of rocky planet evolution. The spectral features of the surfaces of rocky lava world exoplanets give insights into their evolution, mantle composition and inner workings.

Craton Destruction Induced by Drastic Drops in Lithospheric Mantle Viscosity
Abstract The disruption of the mantle roots of cratons is common after cratonization. Craton destruction, which is characterized by severe lithospheric thinning, extensive thrust and extensional deformation, basin filling, and intense thermal activities, is relatively rare and is generally attributed to intensely reduced viscosity contrasts between the

Post-emplacement dynamics of lava flows is governed by several factors such as poroelastic deformation of the substrate; gravity-induced repacking and rearrangement of the vesicle-bearing fluid lava and other void spaces by superposed flows; lava ...

The Eruption of Submarine Rhyolite Lavas and Domes in the Deep Ocean – Havre 2012, Kermadec Arc
Silicic effusive eruptions in deep submarine environments have not yet been directly observed and very few modern submarine silicic lavas and domes have been described.

Numerical simulation of lava flows based on depth-averaged equations [PDF]
Risks and damages associated with lava flows propagation (for instance the most recent Etna eruptions) require a quantitative description of this phenomenon and a reliable forecasting of lava flow paths. Due to the high complexity of these processes, numerical solution of the complete conservation equations for real lava flows is often practically ...

Building Mistrust: ‘Minha Casa Minha Vida’ and its Political Effects in Rio de Janeiro
Considering the recent decrease in Rio de Janeiro working‐class voters' support for the Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT, Workers' Party), this article investigates a largely unexplored factor behind this shift: the influence of the federal housing programme Minha Casa Minha Vida (MCMV, My House, My Life), designed by the PT.
