Opportunity in the Wake of Natural "Disasters"
Science, 2009 The media and general public often perceive major natural disturbances as catastrophies that destroy the environment. However, this view is derived from the perspective of human population and infrastructure. From an ecosystem perspective, natural disturbances are often required to maintain ecosystem function (for example, some plant germination occurs

Flax Composites With Improved Interfacial Strength Through Microbially Induced Mineral Precipitation
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A bio‐inspired biomineralization strategy introduces an additional hierarchy to flax fiber composites. By controlling microbe‐mediated mineral particle deposition through tuned salt concentrations, stress transfer within the natural fiber composite is enhanced.

Natural disasters and labor markets [PDF]
Journal of Development Economics, 2017 Abstract While it is clear that natural disasters have serious welfare consequences for affected populations, less is known about how local labor markets in low-income countries adjust to such large shocks. Combining data from the Indonesia Family Life Survey, the DesInventar database, the U.S.
