Controls on carbonate island formation and evolution: South Joulter Cay, Great Bahama Bank

The Depositional Record, Volume 11, Issue 5, Page 1354-1375, November 2025.
The evolution of South Joulter Cay occurs in three stages: linear ridges shaped by waves and longshore currents, arcuate ridges influenced by tidal currents and channels, and cuspate ridges formed by variable wind and wave directions. These processes are driven by climatic and oceanographic factors.

The Effect of Swiss Free Trade Agreements on Agricultural Trade

Kyklos, Volume 78, Issue 4, Page 1333-1357, November 2025.
ABSTRACT As a country highly dependent on imports, Switzerland has many free trade agreements (FTAs) that liberalise trade barriers. We assess how these agreements affect Swiss agricultural imports at different margins of trade adjustment. We estimate reduced‐form gravity models using agricultural trade data for 202 partner countries from 2004 to 2022.
