Disasters, Dictators, and Donors: The Impact of Foreign Aid on Economic Activity (Mis)Reporting
Review of Development Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper examines how governments manipulate economic data to secure more foreign disaster aid. By using nighttime lighting as a reliable measure of economic activity, we make two key findings: (1) foreign disaster aid is positively linked to a country's understatement of its gross domestic product, indicating a deliberate strategy to ...

Infrasound from Volcanic Rockfalls [PDF]
, 2015 Proximal infrasound arrays can robustly track rapidly moving gravity-driven mass wasting, which occurs commonly at erupting volcanoes. This study reports on detection, localization, and quantification of frequent small rockfalls and infrequent ...

Resolving a debate over social freedom
The Southern Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.Abstract When I am unable to drive due to a road blockade, there seems to be a morally relevant difference between a case in which the road is blocked by workers and a case in which the road is blocked by a landslide. Many political philosophers tried to capture this pretheoretical judgment at a more abstract level through the formulation of a concept ...

Building a Continental‐Scale Geodetic Network: The Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO)
Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 7, Issue 1, December 2026.Abstract The Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO) transformed the use of geodesy in North America to study crustal deformation and plate boundary processes by establishing a continental‐scale, standardized, open‐access geodetic network. Built and operated by UNAVCO between 2003 and 2018 as part of the National Science Foundation (NSF)‐funded EarthScope ...

Automatic Crater Classification Using a Deep‐Learning‐Based Pipeline
Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 5, October 2026.Abstract Identifying and classifying impact craters on Mars is crucial for understanding the planet's geological history and surface evolution. Traditional crater classification relies on manual annotation methods, which are often limited by human biases and the difficulty of interpreting geomorphological features.
