Giant Submarine Landslide on the East Antarctic Margin During the Plio‐Pleistocene

Geophysical Research Letters
A giant submarine landslide complex is reported on the George V margin of East Antarctic continental rise. Such landslides are imaged on seismic profiles that display evidence of basal glide planes and headwall scarps.

Rethinking informal circularity through metanarratives: Tensions, insights and directions for management research

International Journal of Management Reviews, EarlyView.
Abstract This study explores the intersection of the informal and circular economies and its implications for business, management and organization (BMO) scholarship and practice. Informal circularity, practices of collecting, reusing, repairing, recycling and repurposing materials outside formal economic, legal and regulatory arrangements, constitutes

Importing Insecurity? The Paradox of Cereal Trade Openness and Food Security in Sub‐Saharan Africa

The World Economy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable Development Goal 2 (SDG2) aims to end world hunger, but Africa is currently not on track to meet this goal. Sub‐Saharan Africa is particularly affected, with a significant increase in undernourished people. The issue of food security is, therefore, a pressing concern, and promoting trade has been suggested as one solution.
