God Knows Best

open access: yesAmerican Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Arabic phrase Allāhu a‘lam—“God knows best”—is used frequently in everyday Muslim speech and to conclude seemingly assertive statements or fatwas. At its heart lies the recognition that God is the All‐Knowing, whereas humans know next to nothing. Reflecting on this recognition, this essay discusses Sufi refusals of the ethnographic project

Estimating the Impact of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Policies on FDI Inflows Into Australia

open access: yesAsian-Pacific Economic Literature, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To what extent FDI policy settings and changes influence FDI inflows is an empirical question for which global answers are scarce. Australia is a pertinent locale to test this question, having a long history of attracting FDI and a policy approach distinct from most developed countries.

Changing climates and environments within the complex Middle to Late Pleistocene fill of an overdeepened valley at Niederweningen, Switzerland

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
Glacially overdeepened valleys in the northern Alpine Foreland preserve Middle to Late Pleistocene sedimentary sequences that may serve as valuable archives for reconstructing past environmental changes in response to shifts in climate. This study presents a multidisciplinary analysis of two sediment cores from the overdeepened Wehntal Valley at ...

Towards an ‘absolute’ timing of biostratigraphic and environmental phases from the Saalian late glacial to the Weichselian pleniglacial in central Europe—Insights from a lacustrine succession in Lichtenberg, northern Germany

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
Palynological records are central to the biostratigraphic subdivision of the Late Pleistocene in central Europe. Yet many interglacial and interstadial phases—such as the Eemian, Brörup and Odderade—remain only poorly constrained in time due to limited numerical dating.

On the use of a seismic sensor as a seismic source

Geophysics, 2013
ABSTRACT We investigated the use of seismic sensors as small seismic sources. A voltage signal is applied to a geophone that forces the mass within the geophone to move. The movement of the mass generates a seismic wavefield that was recorded with an array of geophones operating in the conventional sense. We observed higher-frequency (

Seismicity, seismotectonics and seismic hazard of Italy

Engineering Geology, 2000
Abstract A first generation of probabilistic seismic hazard maps of the Italian country are presented. They are based on seismogenic zoning deriving from a kinematic model of the structural tectonic units and on an earthquake catalogue with the foreshock and aftershock events filtered out. The following ground motion parameters have been investigated

Seismic Soundoff: The sound of seismic

The Leading Edge, 2023
Paolo Dell'Aversana highlights his recent article in The Leading Edge, “An expanded idea of imaging in geophysics through multimodal data analysis.” The article explores a dual-sensory approach to understanding seismic data. This episode unlocks secret information hiding in seismic data that is waiting to be discovered.

The seismicity of ghana

Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering, 2013
Although West Africa is generally an area of very low seismicity, an exception is a concentration of activity in Southern Ghana, especially near to the capital, Accra, which was heavily damaged by earthquakes in 1862 and 1939. Modern instrumental seismicity is poorly understood due to the limitations of seismic monitoring in the country. In this study,

Seismic imaging

Geophysics, 2001
Abstract Unmigrated reflection seismic energy recorded at the earth's surface, for example in the form of common-offset records, often provides a remarkably coherent picture of subsurface structure. Coherent as it might be, however, this picture is not correct, suffering from several distorting effects, most notably those of ...
