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.

Landslides in the Upper Submarine Slopes of Volcanic Islands: The Central Azores
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021 Small landslides in the upper submarine slopes of volcanic islands present potential hazards locally because of their high frequency. We examine evidence for landsliding in high‐resolution bathymetric data from Faial, Pico, São Jorge, and Terceira ...
