ABSTRACT Mass mortality events (MMEs) have been occurring since the dawn of time. However, in contrast to terrestrial events, most marine MMEs remain undetected, largely due to the inaccessibility of many marine environments. One of the most notorious and best‐studied marine MMEs in modern times is that of the population collapse of the echinoid ...

How Early Trauma Shapes CEO Risk Appetite for Public Debt Versus Bank Debt
ABSTRACT This study examines the impact of CEOs’ early disaster experiences on the choice of debt structure. We find that firms led by CEOs who have endured disasters are more inclined to shift from bank debt to public debt. This evidence remains robust across various alternative measures, empirical specifications, and identification tests aimed at ...

Reputation in International Trade: Evidence From the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster
ABSTRACT A country's reputation may be an important determinant of its ability to export, but the effect is difficult to isolate from underlying product attributes. We consider the trade impact of the Fukushima nuclear disaster and ask whether damage to the Japanese reputation for food safety played a role in its impact. The disaster led to a large and

ABSTRACT This study explores how Norwegian leaders in rural municipalities attend to disaster risk governance and prepare for resilient response to threats from systemic, interconnected, and cascading hazards. Systemic risk management in the Norwegian municipalities will depend on the context and how critical organizational processes are managed by the

Abstract The Sagaing Fault (SF) accommodates major plate motion in Myanmar, yet large earthquakes along it have rarely been captured by modern geodetic and seismic observations. The 2025 Sagaing earthquake generated an exceptionally long rupture (∼535 km), offering a rare opportunity to investigate rupture dynamics along continental transform fault. We

Abstract This study reveals different slip patterns of tsunami sources between two prehistoric giant earthquakes along the southern Kuril Trench, based on an integration of geological data and numerical simulations. The most recent giant earthquake occurred in the 17th century and its predecessor was in the 13th–14th century.

Abstract The structure and properties of mature upper oceanic plates may evolve through mechanisms such as magmatism, hydrothermal circulation, and faulting. However, high‐resolution constraints, especially those involving both P‐ and S‐waves, remain scarce, limiting our ability to detect these processes and assess their impacts on crustal properties ...

ABSTRACT Parentsʼ migration that leaves their children behind can have a large influence on their children. We explore the relationship between parental migration and learning outcomes of left‐behind children aged 7–14 in Pacific Island Economies, particularly Fiji, Kiribati, Samoa, and Tonga, comparing children who live without at least one parent due
