ABSTRACT Rates of evolutionary change vary by gene. While some broad gene categories are highly conserved with little divergence over time, others undergo continuous selection pressure and are highly divergent among populations or species. But such comparative evolutionary studies rely on gene ontology categories that are rarely validated in the study ...

Abstract One formal mechanism for effecting change to progress the rights of structurally disadvantaged groups is via citizen referenda. However, referenda are often characterized by divisive public debate. We suggest that sustaining action for long‐term change (beyond a referendum itself) may be associated with identifying with an opinion‐based group ...

Assessing the Lagged Regional Economic Output Gaps After the 2015 South India Flood
ABSTRACT Natural hazards can adversely impact society, environment, and human well‐being. The development of mitigation strategies is typically based on estimates of economic losses, but such estimates are difficult when high‐resolution post‐disaster data are scarce.

Abstract The mechanisms underlying the patchy distribution of forearc megathrust earthquakes and arc volcanoes in subduction zones remain poorly understood. Here we present a high‐resolution seismic tomographic model of the Central American subduction zone, derived from a joint inversion of local body‐wave and teleseismic Rayleigh‐wave data.

North Sea Storm Surges Amplified by Oscillations Triggered by Preceding Storms
Abstract Storm surges are often treated as independent extremes, yet extratropical cyclones and associated coastal water‐level extremes frequently occur in clustered sequences. Although clustering can increase flood hazard by shortening recovery time, it remains unclear whether preceding storms amplify subsequent surges.

Listening to Tsunami Waves Induced by Glacier Calving
Abstract Processes at the ice–ocean interface play a central role in regulating the stability of marine‐terminating glaciers and ice sheets and drive ocean freshening and mixing. Iceberg calving—a mechanical loss of ice—generates ocean waves and promotes water‐mass exchange in glacierized bays.

Abstract The interaction between the atmosphere and other components of the Earth system, such as the solid Earth and the oceans, remains an open and active area of research. In particular, the dynamic response of the ionosphere to forcing from below, such as earthquakes and tsunamis, is not yet fully understood.

Tsunami Assessment for Inundation Risk Management at Chabahar Bay Facilities in Iran
In this study two numerical models, one a regional generation and propagation model and the other an inundation model, have been applied to the problem of examining the impact that a large, locally generated tsunami could have on Chabahar Bay facilities ...

Abstract Storm surges severely salinize coastal aquifers, yet post‐storm subsurface hydrodynamics remain poorly understood. We investigated surge inundation in unconfined tidal aquifers, revealing that subsurface flow recovers much faster than salinity distributions.
