Mapping High‐TDS Groundwater Near Impoundments Using Ground and Waterborne Towed Electromagnetics

open access: yesGroundwater, EarlyView.
Abstract Long‐term monitoring at landfills and impoundments containing coal combustion products (CCPs) or other industrial wastes is essential for detecting possible leachate releases to groundwater and mapping contamination plumes. This study evaluates a novel, non‐invasive geophysical approach—towed time‐domain electromagnetic (TEM) surveys—for non ...

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.

Extreme‐weather risk and the cross‐section of stock returns

open access: yesJournal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.
Abstract We document an extreme‐weather risk premium in the cross‐section of stock returns. Between 1995 and 2019, stocks of domestic U.S. firms with the most negative sensitivity to aggregate storm losses earned an annual excess‐return spread of more than 6 percentage points relative to those with the most positive sensitivity, a difference not ...

Airship stresses due to vertical velocity gradients and atmospheric turbulence [PDF]

open access: yes, 1975
Munk's potential flow method is used to calculate the resultant moment experienced by an ellipsoidal airship. This method is first used to calculate the moment arising from basic maneuvers considered by early designers, and then expended to calculate the
