Natural disaster risk salience and the strategic appointment of directors with sustainability expertise

open access: yesJournal of Financial Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines how salient sustainability risks from near‐miss natural disasters influence board composition. Using a difference‐in‐differences design, I find that firms located in counties neighboring disaster‐affected areas significantly increase the presence of directors with sustainability expertise following the disaster.

Microspherules Formed by Lightning Strikes

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Natural microspherules are formed by high‐temperature processes and are present throughout the geologic record to the present day. We report the discovery of large numbers of microspherules recovered from a rock pavement in the Pilbara region, Western Australia.

Effects of low‐tech, process‐based restoration on riparian plant communities and soil moisture of streams in the Northern Great Plains (NGP) of the United States

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Process‐based restoration is novel in livestock production systems of the Northern Great Plains (NGP), and limited region‐specific evidence can impede adoption. We investigated the effects of methods such as beaver dam analogs (BDAs) on NGP plant communities.
