ASSESSING LANDSLIDE-TSUNAMI HAZARD IN SUBMARINE CANYONS, USING THE COOK STRAIT CANYON SYSTEM AS AN EXAMPLE [PDF]

Science of Tsunami Hazards, 2016
Tsunami generated by submarine landslides are now recognised as an important hazard, following several historical events. Submarine landslides can occur in a variety of settings such as on continental slopes, volcanic slopes, and submerged canyons and ...

The Construction of an Environmental Villain: A Discourse Analysis of Upland Maize Farming in Thailand

Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since the mid‐2010s, Thai public discourse has villainised upland maize cultivation in northern Thailand for deforestation and environmental degradation through the popular imagery of bald mountains. The attention has prompted a new wave of land‐use interventions urging upland smallholders to replace maize with trees and perennials.

Climate shocks, coping strategies, and household resilience: Evidence from a three‐wave panel in Malawi

Contemporary Economic Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate shocks threaten rural livelihoods in Malawi, yet households adopt diverse coping strategies to mitigate welfare losses. Using three‐wave Living Standards Measurement Study–Integrated Surveys on Agriculture panel data (2013–2019) and household fixed‐effects models, this study examines how climate shocks affect food security and ...

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.

Do Banks Learn From Natural Disasters? Evidence From the U.S. Financial Sector

European Financial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines whether U.S. banks learn from natural disasters. We explore several potential channels of adjustment and find that exposed banks primarily respond by adopting precautionary capital measures. This behaviour is evident both in the long run, when assessing divergent trends in the evolution of equity over time, and in the short

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

Imputing Poverty Indicators Without Consumption Data: An Exploratory Analysis

Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accurate poverty measurement relies on household consumption data, but such data are often inadequate, outdated, or display inconsistencies over time in poorer countries. To address these data challenges, we employ survey‐to‐survey imputation to produce estimates for several poverty indicators including headcount poverty, extreme poverty ...

A Comprehensive Assessment of Submarine Landslides and Mass Wasting Processes Offshore Southern California

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
It is critical to characterize submarine landslide hazards near dense coastal populations, especially in areas with active faults, which can trigger slope failure, subsequent tsunamis, and damage seabed infrastructure during earthquake shaking.

Kinship and reproduction: A perspective of the Akha in Laos

The Australian Journal of Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract Drawing on fieldwork among the Akha people in Phongsaly District, Phongsaly Province, northern Laos, this paper examines Akha patrilineal kinship and its links to reproduction. The Akha people's reproductive decisions and behaviours are shaped by patrilineality, ancestral connections and cultural–spiritual perceptions of reproduction, which ...
