Journal of Research in Science Teaching, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Due to the far‐reaching and life‐threatening consequences of climate change, science education is becoming increasingly important for preparing students to become climate literate citizens. Climate literacy, which encompasses knowledge, skills, and attitudes related to climate change, can provide a strong foundation for informed climate action.

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.

Submarine slope failures due to pipe structure formation
Nature Communications, 2018 There is a strong correlation between submarine slope failures and the occurrence of gas hydrates. Here, the authors use a combination of seismic data and numerical modelling to show that overpressure at the gas hydrate stability zone leads to potential ...

Sedimentology and kinematics of a large, retrogressive growth-fault system in Upper Carboniferous deltaic sediments, western Ireland [PDF]
, 2004 Growth faulting is a common feature of many deltaic environments and is vital in determining local sediment dispersal and accumulation, and hence in controlling the resultant sedimentary facies distribution and architecture.

Bathymetry-based submarine landslide volume assessments
, 2022 Abstract Submarine landslides can cause devastating tsunamis. The size of such tsunamis depends on water depth, acceleration, maximum velocity, and initial volume of the landslide. In the past, submarine landslide volume as the most important of these parameters has often been estimated by seismic data. It is well-established that this can lead

Frictional heating lubrication for submarine landslide
Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2018 Given a large block of fine-grained sediment that overlies a 1° continental slope, if the entire sediment deposit is shaken by an earthquake to slide down the slope with an initial velocity (referred to as "submarine landslide" hereinafter), our block model showed that the whole deposit can continuously slide downslope with the “help” of basal ...
