Symbolic or Substantive Action: Intent, Effort, and Results
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Many firms have made ambitious climate pledges since the Paris Agreement of 2015. These pledges may be symbolic or substantive, but the literature is fragmented in defining these two terms. We propose a conceptual framework with three frames to delineate symbolic from substantive action: Intent—underlying motivations for engaging in climate ...

Assessment of fish populations and habitat on Oculina Bank, a deep-sea coral marine protected area off eastern Florida [PDF]
, 2009 A portion of the Oculina Bank located off eastern Florida is a marine protected area (MPA) preserved for its dense populations of the ivory tree coral (Oculina varicosa), which provides important habitat for fish.

Strain‐based modeling and analysis for rock blasting and geomechanics applications
Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.This paper introduces a novel strain‐based modeling approach for blasting and geomechanical applications, using measurable variables like particle velocity, strain, and displacement. By bypassing complex constitutive relations, strain‐based models capture critical blasting trends and full‐blast design parameters with minimal calibration.

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.The Great Dyke of Zimbabwe is notable for its rich platinum group metal deposits but poses significant geological and geotechnical challenges due to its complex rock types and structural features. Traditional pillar design methods are insufficient for addressing these complexities; the study suggests incorporating advanced techniques such as machine ...

Open GeosciencesThe porosity of the reef–shoal complex increases with the increase of dolomite content, and it is worth investigating whether dolomitization leads to the formation of new pores or maintains the original porosity.

Effects of Great Barrier Reef Degradation on Recreational Demand: A Contingent Behaviour Approach [PDF]
Degradation of coral reefs may affect the number of tourists visiting the reef and, consequently, the economic sectors that rely on healthy reefs for their income generation.

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.This study highlights that with the static and time‐dependent evolution of slip versus dilation tendency parameter space, structurally controlled deep geothermal systems can be selected within areas of higher permeability and lower seismic hazard. Abstract Faults play a vital role in the Earth's hydraulic system by facilitating fluid flow when dilating
