Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Forest ecosystem services (ESs) are garnering increasing public attention as awareness grows regarding society's fundamental dependence on them for well‐being. Forest fires, one of the major disturbances of ESs, are becoming more frequent and destructive, exacerbated in part by climate change.

Owen Ridge deep-water submarine landslides: implications for tsunami hazard along the Oman coast [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2013 The recent discovery of voluminous submarine landslides along the Owen Ridge may represent a source of tsunami hazard for the nearby Oman coast. We assess the severity of this potential hazard by performing numerical simulations of tsunami generation and

Deep submarine landslide contribution to the 2010 Haiti earthquake tsunami
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2020 . The devastating Mw 7.1 Haiti earthquake in 2010 was accompanied by local tsunamis that caused fatalities and damage to coastal infrastructure. Some were triggered by slope failures of river deltas in the close vicinity of the epicenter, while others ...

New insights into landslide processes around volcanic islands from Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) observations offshore Montserrat [PDF]
, 2015 Submarine landslide deposits have been mapped around many volcanic islands, but interpretations of their structure, composition, and emplacement are hindered by the challenges of investigating deposits directly. Here we report on detailed observations of

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Localized deformation in dense granular materials, often culminating in the formation of shear bands, is a key failure mechanism in geotechnical and material systems. However, predicting the onset of such localization remains a fundamental challenge due to the system's inherent inelasticity and microstructural complexity.

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.A new species of Lentibulariaceae, Pinguicula brendae Rodríguez‐Ramírez, H.Shimai & A.R. Andrés‐Hernández, is described based on its unique morphological characteristics. This species is restricted to limestone rock walls in the San Bartolo Tutotepec municipality, central‐eastern Hidalgo, Mexico, where it inhabits a single locality on vertical, north ...

Populism and policy capacity: Evidence from an opposition municipality in Istanbul
Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.Abstract Despite achievements in its conceptual rigor, policy capacity still represents a relatively depoliticized concept that fails to sufficiently consider the ways in which politics plays a role in its creation, mobilization, or decay. This article seeks to contribute to this debate by investigating the impact of populism on policy capacity, the ...

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.
