TSUNAMIS AND THEIR IMPACT ON HUMAN ACTIVITIES [PDF]

Analele Universității din Craiova. Seria Geografie, 2009
The regions where most of tsunamis originate are Japan, Peru, Chile, the New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. The emergence of tsunamis may be caused by the following factors: 1) earthquakes; 2) volcanic eruptions; 3) rockfalls; 4) landslides; 5 ...

EVALUATION OF THE IMPACT OF MAJOR EARTHQUAKES ON EXCITING LONG PERIOD FREE-EARTH LITHOSPHERIC OSCILLATIONS, ATMOSPHERIC-IONOSPHERIC PERTRUBATIONS, AND FAR-FIELD TSUNAMI-LIKE WATER LEVEL FLUCTUATIONS [PDF]

Science of Tsunami Hazards, 2020
The whole Earth resonates like a bell with normal modes of resonance at distinct frequencies. When extremely large earthquakes strike, the Earth’s free oscillations are excited.

Self‐Assembly of Organic–Inorganic Copolymers Toward Bio‐Inspired Cementitious Composites

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Organic–inorganic copolymerization of calcium silicate hydrate and thioctic acid produces a self‐organized nanocomposite inspired by the disordered collagen–mineral architecture of trabecular bone. The resulting material combines a compressive strength above 300 MPa with intrinsic physical reprocessibility, retaining over 80% of its strength and energy

Engineering Large‐Grain Metal Halide Perovskite Films via Chemical Vapor Deposition for High‐Performance, Ultralow‐Noise Perovskite Photodetectors

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Chemical vapor deposition produces large‐grain, phase‐pure CsPbBr3 films (grains up to 35 µm) with Drude‐like terahertz photoconductivity and twofold higher carrier mobility versus spin‐coated references. These microstructural advances translate into photodetectors with a detectivity of 8.4 × 1012 Jones, dark current below 1 pA cm−2, X‐ray sensitivity ...

REMOTE OPERATION OF THE WEST COAST AND ALASKA TSUNAMI WARNING CENTER [PDF]

Science of Tsunami Hazards, 2002
The remote control of real time derivation of earthquake location and magnitude and the issuance of tsunami and earthquake bulletins was done using off-the-shelf remote control software and hardware. Such remote operation of the West Coast/Alaska Tsunami

Application of a novel schema for describing fossil fern foliage and investigating taxonomic and morphological change across the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary in western North America

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The Chicxulub asteroid impact at the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) boundary triggered a mass extinction 66 million years ago. Ferns thrived in the aftermath of the extinction, evidenced by the well‐documented “fern spore spike.” However, fern macrofossil records across the K–Pg boundary are less understood.

STRATEGIC GEOGRAPHIC POSITIONING OF SEA LEVEL GAUGES TO AID IN EARLY DETECTION OF TSUNAMIS IN THE INTRA-AMERICAS SEA [PDF]

Science of Tsunami Hazards, 2006
The potential impact of past Caribbean tsunamis generated by earthquakes and/or massive submarine slides/slumps, as well as the tsunamigenic potential and population distribution within the Intra-Americas Sea (IAS) is examined to help define the optimal ...

Melioidosis in Tsunami Survivors

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005
To the Editor: A tsunami devastated coastal areas of the Indian Ocean rim in December 2004. Of the affected countries, more than half of the ≈300,000 deaths occurred in the Aceh Province of Indonesia, close to the epicenter of the earthquake near northern Sumatra.

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.

Weather Action: A Study on the Industry Peer Effects of Corporate Climate Risk Information Disclosure

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global climate change has elevated the strategic importance of corporate climate risk disclosure, yet the role of industry peer effects in shaping such disclosure remains underexplored. Grounded in social learning theory, this study proposes an “observation–imitation–reinforcement” framework and empirically tests it using panel data on Chinese
