Measuring the Stringency of Building Height Regulations

International Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study proposes a novel methodology to measure the stringency of building height regulations. This measure gauges the difference in building heights with and without regulations. The primary challenge is to recover unobserved building heights in the absence of regulations.

The Rising Tide Lifts Some Interest Rates: Climate Change, Natural Disasters, and Loan Pricing

The Journal of Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Banks adjust loan spreads after observing natural disasters linked to climate change. We isolate this updating process by identifying loans to borrowers at risk of, but not directly affected by, such disasters. Loan spreads for these borrowers spike in both primary and secondary markets, while no such updating occurs for non–climate‐related ...

1D Basin Modelling of Upper Jurassic to Upper Cretaceous Source Rocks in the Southern Pletmos Sub‐Basin, Outeniqua Basin, Offshore South Africa

Journal of Petroleum Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Pletmos sub‐basin in the Outeniqua Basin, offshore South Africa, is divided by the Superior, Pletmos and Plettenberg faults into northern and southern depocentres. In this study, geological and organic geochemical data together with 1D basin modelling were used to investigate the burial, thermal and maturation histories, and the timing of ...

Geophysical update of the diameter of the Zhamanshin impact structure, Kazakhstan

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The rim of the 0.9‐Ma‐old Zhamanshin impact crater in Kazakhstan is considered to be almost completely exposed via a series of hills surrounding a central flat area, indicating an apparent diameter of 14 km. This would make Zhamanshin the second largest impact crater of the Quaternary period. However, the overall geometry of these hills is not

Short‐term soil responses and site conditions to inverted mounding on peatland linear features in Alberta, Canada

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Seismic lines represent one of the most extensive and persistent anthropogenic disturbances in boreal peatlands, limiting forest regeneration and altering key ecosystem functions. Inverted mounding is increasingly applied to elevate planting microsites above shallow water tables, yet evidence on short‐ to medium‐term biophysical ...

A Triassic chronostratigraphic and palaeogeographic framework for the Utsira High area, northern North Sea: Reconstructing a basin‐scale drainage divide

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Triassic succession of the northern North Sea comprises a series of interbedded sandstones, mudstones and conglomerates deposited under a fluctuating arid to semi‐humid climate regime, which are often difficult to correlate regionally due to differing lithostratigraphic schemes and poor age control. Despite existing regional studies on the

Seismic behavior of the contents of seismically isolated buildings

, 2021
Sismik izolasyon, gelişmekte olan depreme dayanıklı bir tasarım teknolojisidir. Özellikle ankastre binalara kıyasla kat ivmelerini azaltır. Böylece, binaların içeriğini korumada çok başarılıdır. Önceki çalışmalarda, içerik korumanın kapsamı yalnızca kat ivmelerinin incelenmesi ile yapılmıştır.

Cenozoic tropical carbonate platforms in the Santos Basin, SE Brazilian Margin

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tropical carbonate platforms accompanied the latitudinal shifts of the tropical belt throughout the Cenozoic. Their flat‐topped geometries were influenced by a specific set of processes, including climate and sea‐level changes, carbonate facies, tectonics and continental runoff.
