Natural disaster risk salience and the strategic appointment of directors with sustainability expertise

Journal of Financial Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines how salient sustainability risks from near‐miss natural disasters influence board composition. Using a difference‐in‐differences design, I find that firms located in counties neighboring disaster‐affected areas significantly increase the presence of directors with sustainability expertise following the disaster.

Variational Autoencoder Transfer Functions for Onshore Tsunami Hazard Curves

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation
To quickly estimate tsunami hazards along the coastline, we present a data‐driven transfer function method to reconstruct onshore tsunami hazard curves from offshore hazard curves with corresponding topographic and bathymetric data. The transfer function

On generation and propagation of tsunamis in a shallow running ocean

International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 1978
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.

A catalog of landslide-triggered tsunamis

A comprehensive global catalog of landslide-triggered tsunamis (LTT) was compiled by reviewing tsunami and earthquake databases, catalogs, and scientific literature. This dataset is designed to investigate the relationship between tsunami heights and the

Welfare consequences of the compound risks of index insurance

Journal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.
Abstract Index insurance is an attractive variant on the standard insurance contract that allows the determination of a loss event to be defined by one or more thresholds on an index that is positively correlated with actual losses. Index insurance also comes with a compound risk, basis risk.

NOAA/WEST COAST AND ALASKA TSUNAMI WARNING CENTER ATLANTIC OCEAN RESPONSE CRITERIA [PDF]

Science of Tsunami Hazards, 2009
West Coast/Alaska Tsunami Warning Center (WCATWC) response criteria for earthquakes occurring in the Atlantic and Caribbean basins are presented. Initial warning center decisions are based on an earthquake’s location, magnitude, depth, distance from ...

Tsunamis

, 2010
A tsunami is a sea wave or series of waves produced by large disturbances of the sea floor that are of relatively short duration. Such disturbances cause the water column to move vertically and the resulting wave energy to spread outwards across the ocean surface at high speed.

The consequences of partial clonality on the spatiotemporal genetic structure of the red alga Chondria tumulosa (Ceramiales, Rhodophyta)

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract The relative rates of sexual versus clonal reproduction partition genetic diversity, but the quantification of these rates remains limited in natural populations. This knowledge gap is particularly acute among tropical macroalgae. Chondria tumulosa is a red macroalga that has been documented at high abundance in the three northernmost atolls ...
