Neural Network for Oil Spill Detection using TerraSAR-X Data

, 2011
The increased amount of available Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images involves a growing workload on the operators at analysis centers. In addition, even if the operators go through extensive training to learn manual oil spill detection, they can ...

Complex Firms, Controversial Outcomes: Global Evidence on ESG Failures and Remedies

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine whether business complexity increases firms' exposure to negative environmental, social, and governance (ESG) outcomes, specifically ESG controversies, using a global panel of firms from 37 countries over the period 2002–2021.

The Perils of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Controversies: Implications for a Firm's Financial and Nonfinancial Performance

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although ESG controversies are on the rise, research investigating them yields contradictory findings. The paper provides resolutions to the debate through investigating (a) how ESG controversies influence firms' short‐term and long‐term financial performance; (b) how firms navigate ESG controversies' effect; and (c) how ESG controversies ...

Beyond the Reports: Cultural Pressures, Unheard Voices and the Climate Accountability Gap in Oil and Gas Sector Governance

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental governance in Nigeria's oil and gas sector remains central to global climate justice debates, yet persistent accountability failures continue to undermine meaningful environmental and social outcomes. Despite extensive regulatory frameworks, accountability in resource‐dependent contexts is frequently reduced to formal reporting ...

A Physics-Guided Multibranch Adaptive Multilevel Attention Fusion Network for Sea Oil-Spill Detection in Sentinel-1 SAR Imagery

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has been widely used for oil-spill monitoring because of its all-weather and all-day imaging capability. However, simple concatenation of multiple oil-spill features extracted from SAR images, such as polarization ...

Locked in Transition: Examining the Role of Paradoxical Tensions in the Transition From Industrial Cluster to Eco‐Clusters

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Industrial clusters are central to the circular economy transition, yet how they develop into eco‐clusters and the paradoxical tensions this transformation fuels remain underexplored. Drawing on 48 in‐depth interviews and secondary data from a Turkish textile‐recycling cluster, we develop an empirically grounded model of eco‐cluster transition

Paying for Privilege: How Political Contributions Undermine Environmental Sustainability—And How Executive Contracting Can Restore Balance

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We are interested in investigating whether firms use political donations as a license to neglect environmental sustainability. We further deepen the examination by exploring the role of executive contracting. Drawing on a wide range of data between 2002 and 2021 and a global sample, our findings confirm that firms use political contributions ...
