Source Processes for the Probabilistic Assessment of Tsunami Hazards [PDF]

Oceanography, 2014
The importance of tsunami hazard assessment has increased in recent years as a result of catastrophic consequences from events such as the 2004 Indian Ocean and 2011 Japan tsunamis.

NbN Broadband Plasmonic Absorbers for Efficient Hot‐Carrier Injection Toward Improved Solar‐to‐Hydrogen Conversion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Niobium nitride (NbN) broadband plasmonic metasurface absorbers provide an efficient platform for solar‐energy conversion through hot‐carrier injection. Quasi‐epitaxial NbN features a low work function of 4.0 eV, reducing the interfacial injection barrier and facilitating charge transfer into adjacent photocatalysts.

Detailed analysis of tsunami waveforms generated by the 1946 Aleutian tsunami earthquake [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2001
The 1946 Aleutian earthquake was a typical tsunami earthquake which generated abnormally larger tsunami than expected from its seismic waves. Previously, Johnson and Satake (1997) estimated the fault model of this earthquake using the tsunami ...

Critical questions for documenting collections as data: Provocations from developing datasheets for web archives datasets

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Scholarship on documentation of datasets is increasingly concerned with capturing the context, socio‐technical processes, and decisions shaping data. “Datasheets for datasets” is a recent approach developed by researchers in machine learning that foregrounds transparency and uncovering bias through data documentation.

Nonlinear mechanism of tsunami wave generation by atmospheric disturbances [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2001
The problem of tsunami wave generation by variable meteo-conditions is discussed. The simplified linear and nonlinear shallow water models are derived, and their analytical solutions for a basin of constant depth are discussed.

Parametric Study of Tsunamis Generated by Earthquakes and Landslides

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019
Tsunami generation and propagation mechanisms need to be clearly understood in order to inform predictive models and improve coastal community preparedness.

From Green Governance to Biodiversity Strategy: The Role of Environmentally Experienced Directors in Chinese Firms

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how directors with environmental protection (EP) backgrounds influence corporate biodiversity concern (BIO) among Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2008 to 2023. Drawing on Upper Echelons Theory, we argue that directors' environmental expertise shapes firms' biodiversity strategies.

TWO-DIMENSIONAL SIMULATIONS OF EXPLOSIVE ERUPTIONS OF KICK-EM JENNY AND OTHER SUBMARINE VOLCANOS [PDF]

Science of Tsunami Hazards, 2006
Kick-em Jenny, in the Eastern Caribbean, is a submerged volcanic cone that has erupted a dozen or more times since its discovery in 1939. The most likely hazard posed by this volcano is to shipping in the immediate vicinity (through volcanic missiles or ...

Revealing Submarine Landslide Signatures in South Western Palu Bay: Insights from New Shallow Bathymetric Data [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
The 2018 Palu earthquake and tsunami was a rare event where tsunami generation was partly driven by coastal and submarine landslides triggered by a supershear Mw 7.5 strike-slip earthquake. While much attention has focused on the seismic source, the role

On generation and propagation of tsunamis in a shallowrunning ocean [PDF]

International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 1977
A theory is presented of the generation and propagation of the two and the three dimensional tsunamis in a shallow running ocean due to the action of an arbitrary ocean floor or ocean surface disturbance. Integral solutions for both two and three dimensional problems are obtained by using the generalized Fourier and Laplace transforms.
