How cold is too cold? A theoretical analysis of the optimal trigger for index insurance for frost damage to crops

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Crop insurance is undoubtedly an extremely valuable element in protecting agricultural businesses, but in many cases standard indemnity‐based products have had very low uptake due to high transaction costs elevating premiums to unaffordable levels.

Slow Earthquakes in the Microseism Frequency Band (0.1–1.0 Hz) off Kii Peninsula, Japan

Geophysical Research Letters, 2018
It is difficult to detect the signal of slow deformation in the 0.1–1.0 Hz frequency band between tectonic tremors and very low frequency events, where microseism noise is dominant.

Seismic structure and earthquake focal mechanisms of the Hengill volcanic complex, S W Iceland [PDF]

, 1996
Iceland provides a unique opportunity to study the processes that occur along mid- ocean ridges. In 1991, thirty temporary seismic stations were installed at the Hengill volcanic complex to record high-quality digital data from local earthquakes.

Triggered Slow Slip and Afterslip on the Southern Hikurangi Subduction Zone Following the Kaikoura Earthquake

, 2018
The 2016 MW7.8 Kaikōura earthquake ruptured a complex sequence of strike-slip and reverse faults in New Zealand's northeastern South Island.

Triggering of the 2014 M(w)7.3 Papanoa earthquake by a slow slip event in Guerrero, Mexico [PDF]

, 2016
Since their discovery two decades ago(1,2), slow slip events have been shown to play an important role in accommodating strain in subduction zones.

The psychosocial toll of Dublin III on asylum seekers in the Netherlands

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract The Dublin III Regulation determines which EU Member State is responsible for examining asylum claims, but its implementation carries significant consequences for those subjected to it. This study examines how Dublin III, as implemented in the Netherlands, affects asylum seekers' psychosocial wellbeing using Silove′s Adaptation and Development

Slow Slip as an Indicator of Fault Stress Criticality

Geophysical Research Letters
Fault regions inferred to be slowly slipping are interpreted to accommodate much of tectonic plate motion aseismically and potentially serve as barriers to earthquake rupture.

Seismic and environmental controls on slow-moving landslides:Insights from the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake [PDF]

Earthquakes can initiate slow-moving landslides and cause them to transition into rapid failures. Although observations are limited, the literature suggests that strong earthquakes are more likely to trigger nearby failures, while smaller earthquakes may

A Geomorphometric Approach to Estimate the Deterioration of Earthen Archaeological Sites by Rainfall and Diffusion Processes: The Huaca Chornancap (Eighth–14th Century ad), Lambayeque, Peru

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rain‐induced erosion processes can severely damage Earthen archaeological sites. Huaca Chornancap (HCH; eighth–14th century ad) is a platform located in the Lambayeque region (Peru) exposed to seasonal rain due to El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO).

Slow earthquake in Afghanistan detected by InSAR [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2008
The Chaman fault system forms a prominent ∼900‐km‐long left‐lateral transform plate boundary between the Indian and Eurasian plates in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Here we show satellite radar interferometry data that revealed an afterslip (or slow earthquake) signal following an earthquake of magnitude 5.0.
