People 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

TASK Quarterly, 2016 A numerical model of propagation of internal gravity waves in a stratified medium is applied to the problem of tsunami wave run-up onto a shore. In the model, the ocean and the atmosphere are considered as a united continuum in which the density varies with height with a saltus at the water-air interface. The problem solution is sought as a generalized

Practical Methodology for Developing Visions for Carbon‐Neutral Cities and Communities
Sustainable 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),

Vestnik NSU. Series: Information Technologies, 2020 The basic formulae for calculating the moving long wave energy were derived and presented. The problems related to the energy counting in the course of numerical modeling of tsunami wave generation and propagation. Through a number of computational experiments, the wave energy radiation directivity of tsunami generated by an ellipsoidal source with a ...

Alternative Approach for Tsunami Early Warning Indicated by Gravity Wave Effects on Ionosphere
Remote Sensing, 2021 The rapid displacement of the ocean floor during large ocean earthquakes or volcanic eruptions causes the propagation of tsunami waves on the surface of the ocean, and consequently internal gravity waves (IGWs) in the atmosphere.

Sustainable 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 ...

Sustainable 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 ...

Do the public take action when a severe snow warning is issued?
Weather, EarlyView.Extreme weather events pose significant risks to the population, making timely warnings essential for preparedness. The UK Met Office’s National Severe Weather Warning Service (NSWWS) has issued impact‐based alerts for over a decade, yet evaluations of their effectiveness remain limited.
