Solving the puzzle of the 1996 Biak, Indonesia tsunami
Earth, Planets and SpaceOn February 17, 1996, an earthquake ( $${M}_{\text{w}}=$$ M w = 8.2) occurred northeast of Biak Island, Indonesia, and generated a tsunami. Interestingly, the tsunami runup on the southwest side of Biak Island, which did not face the epicenter, was ...

Are large submarine landslides in Polar Regions temporally random, or do current observations and age constraint make it impossible to tell? [PDF]
, 2014 Submarine landslides are one of the major mechanisms through which sediment is transported across our planet, and it has been proposed that they can generate exceptionally damaging tsunamis. Polar margins represent one of the environmental settings where

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.

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 ...

The VOLNA code for the numerical modelling of tsunami waves: generation, propagation and inundation [PDF]
, 2011 A novel tool for tsunami wave modelling is presented. This tool has the potential of being used for operational purposes: indeed, the numerical code \VOLNA is able to handle the complete life-cycle of a tsunami (generation, propagation and run-up along ...

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

Ocean-bottom seismometers document how submarine landslides develop and grow
Communications Earth & EnvironmentSubmarine 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
