Digital fire technologies and community networks: Cultivating just sociotechnical practices for living with planetary change

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Fires are expanding in frequency and intensity worldwide due to climate change and land‐use transformations. At the same time, fire often plays a regenerative role in ecosystems. Traditional and cultural practices incorporate fire use for landscape management and landscape renewal. In this complex matrix of fire ecologies, digital technologies

MOMENTUM AS A USEFUL TSUNAMI DESCRIPTOR [PDF]

open access: yesScience of Tsunami Hazards, 2006
In looking at the videos of the Indonesian tsunami coming ashore at various locations, I thought, “That’s a lot of water with a lot of momentum, and that’s what does the damage.”Perhaps the momentum of a tsunami might be a physical quantity to focus on ...

Practical Methodology for Developing Visions for Carbon‐Neutral Cities and Communities

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cities and communities play important roles in sustainable development and climate change mitigation. This study presents a novel framework for developing carbon‐neutral visions for cities and communities. We established five “principles,” investigated options encompassing four parameters (management, goal setting, actions, and quantification),

Measuring offshore tsunami currents using ship navigation records

open access: yesProgress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2018
We investigated ship navigation records known as Automatic Identification System (AIS) data near the source region of the 2011 Tohoku, Japan, tsunami. The AIS data of 16 ships in the offshore navigation could be compiled by about 40 min after the tsunami

Opportunities for Australia Amid China's Carbon‐Neutral Transition: Input–Output Approach With Analysis of Australian Renewable Potential

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A major transformation in China's energy mix is underway as the country pursues carbon neutrality by 2060, posing significant structural challenges for Australia as a major exporter of carbon‐intensive resources. This study examines the economic impacts of China's decarbonisation on Australia by applying static and dynamic input–output (IO ...

RETRACE Project: How to Enhance Resilience to Climate Risks in Pacific and Arctic Indigenous Communities?

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Risk management has evolved to analyze risks in a systemic way, integrating local knowledge with the abstract concept of resilience, which is now an imperative for vulnerable and exposed communities. However, existing decision‐support tools are mainly focused on technical‐functional aspects and, although based on rigorous and scientific ...

Sediment effect on tsunami generation of the 1896 Sanriku Tsunami Earthquake

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2001
The 1896 Sanriku earthquake was one of the most devastating tsunami earthquakes, which generated an anomalously larger tsunami than expected from its seismic waves. Previous studies indicate that the earthquake occurred beneath the accretionary wedge near the trench axis.

Determinants of Community Resilience: A Multi‐Level Synthesis of Empirical and Conceptual Evidence

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Community resilience research remains fragmented across disciplines, with limited integration of empirical evidence and conceptual scholarship. This study addresses this gap through a directed content analysis of 48 empirical case studies and 39 conceptual and review publications from diverse geographical and hazard contexts.
