Large submarine landslides offshore Mt. Etna [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2006
High resolution seismic data, we collected in the Ionian sea, reveal large submarine landslide deposits offshore from Mt. Etna (Italy), spatially consistent with the eastern flank collapse of this volcano. A large debris‐avalanche deposit, we relate to the Valle del Bove scar, displays long offshore run‐outs (till 20 km) and a volume of a few tens of ...

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

Revised Storegga Slide reconstruction reveals two major submarine landslides 12,000 years apart

Communications Earth & Environment, 2023
The tsunami from the Storegga slide 8,150 years ago was caused by a smaller submarine landslide than previously thought, which implies higher hazard in the region, according to analyses of geophysical data and sediment cores that suggest an older origin ...

Extreme Weather Events and Agricultural Total Factor Productivity Growth

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The productivity of the agricultural sector is crucial for food security in a changing climate. This study estimates the impacts of extreme weather events on agricultural total factor productivity (TFP) growth, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the effects of climate change on agriculture.

Unpacking Climate Literacy in Science Education: What Explains Students' Willingness to Engage in Climate Action?

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Due to the far‐reaching and life‐threatening consequences of climate change, science education is becoming increasingly important for preparing students to become climate literate citizens. Climate literacy, which encompasses knowledge, skills, and attitudes related to climate change, can provide a strong foundation for informed climate action.

Ocean-bottom seismometers document how submarine landslides develop and grow

Communications Earth & Environment
Submarine landslides reshape seafloor geomorphology, transport sediment and carbon to the deep-sea, and can trigger tsunamis or damage valuable seabed infrastructure. Yet, submarine landslides have never been directly observed in action. Here, we present

Challenging the ‘S’ of Mayoral Strategic Authorities: Standardisation over Strategy?

The Political Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract The Labour government's English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill (EDCEB) represents the most ambitious attempt yet to embed devolution and ‘empower communities’ across England, completing the map of devolution under mayoral strategic authorities.

The Carboniferous Southern Pennine Basin, UK [PDF]

, 2014
Many of the Carboniferous outcrops located in the Derbyshire region of the Peak District National Park, UK, have provided sites for both significant and pioneering research relating to the clastic sedimentology of marine palaeoenvironments, particularly ...

Bathymetry-based submarine landslide volume assessments

, 2022
Abstract Submarine landslides can cause devastating tsunamis. The size of such tsunamis depends on water depth, acceleration, maximum velocity, and initial volume of the landslide. In the past, submarine landslide volume as the most important of these parameters has often been estimated by seismic data. It is well-established that this can lead

THE URBAN METABOLISM OF FLOOD PROTECTION INFRASTRUCTURE IN JAKARTA, INDONESIA

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Investments in large‐scale climate infrastructures are central to emerging forms of climate urbanism. In Jakarta, flood protection infrastructures seek to protect the city from devastating flood events in anticipation of future catastrophes.
