QUANTITATIVE STUDIES ABOUT TSUNAMI GENERATION AND PROPAGATION WAVES BY A STOCHASTIC SUBMARINE SLUMP AND LANDSLIDE SOURCE MODEL [PDF]

Science of Tsunami Hazards, 2018
Tsunami generation and propagation due to a vertical time-dependent extent of a stochastic submarine slump and landslide model for different values of Froude number and noise intensity are investigated.

Improving forest age estimation to understand subtropical forest regrowth dynamics using deep learning image segmentation of time‐series historical aerial photographs

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Accurately estimating forest age is key to understanding how forests recover and evaluating restoration success. We developed a two‐step deep learning approach using historical greyscale aerial photographs to map forest age at fine spatial scales. By combining a pre‐trained model with localized fine‐tuning, our U‐Net + ResNet50 architecture achieved ...

Education in a Changing Climate: A Systematic Review for Low and Middle‐Income Countries (LMICs)

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change is a major global challenge that affects many aspects of human life and hinders progress on the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). One area that has not received enough attention is its impact on children's education in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs), which are especially vulnerable to ...

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.

Urban Housing Markets and Sustainability Risk: Empirical Evidence From South African Cities

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite the global shift toward sustainability and rising expectations for socially and environmentally responsible housing, evidence from South Africa's urban markets remains limited and underexplored. This study examines how sustainability‐related vulnerabilities shape downside housing risk across 60 cities between 2002 and 2021.

Possible climate preconditioning on submarine landslides along a convergent margin, Nankai Trough (NE Pacific)

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2017
Submarine landslides are major agents of sediment mass transfer from the shallow to deep sea. Due to their rapid emplacement and tsunamigenic potential, such landslides are significant geohazards for society and off- and on-shore infrastructure.

Submarine landslides on the upper southeast Australian passive continental margin – preliminary findings [PDF]

, 2012
The southeast Australian passive continental margin is narrow, steep and sediment-deficient, and characterized by relatively low rates of modern sedimentation. Upper slope (\u3c1200m) sediments comprise mixtures of calcareous and terrigenous sand and mud.

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.
