Urban Trees and Allergies in North Florida

EDIS, 2008
Los árboles son una parte integral de nuestras comunidades. Se encuentran en las calles de la ciudad, parques, estacionamientos, áreas vacías, escuelas y patios traseros y son una fuente de sombra, belleza, empoderamiento comunitario y beneficios ambientales.

“We Are Willing to Change, If…”: Potential Impacts of Citizens' Assemblies on the Willingness to Change for Sustainability in Rural East German Municipalities

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In light of the democratic and social‐ecological crises, deliberative minipublics such as citizens' assemblies are increasingly implemented and discussed by scholars as a means for sound decision‐making and to enhance public support for sustainability transformations.

Surface Consistent Seismic Hazard Assessment in the Shillong Plateau, Northeast India: A Probabilistic Approach Using Multiple Source Models and a Logic Tree Framework

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We perform probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) in the Shillong Plateau by clubbing the up‐to‐date earthquake data and seismotectonic properties of the study area. Twenty‐one areal seismic sources are delineated based on the updated earthquake catalog, tectonic, and fault plane solutions.

Multi‐Hazard Shaking‐Tsunami Fatality Risk Estimation for Coastal Communities

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study develops a multi‐hazard fatality risk model for a coastal community (Tofino) on Vancouver Island, Canada, subjected to earthquake‐tsunami threats from the Cascadia subduction megathrust events. The model incorporates variable population distributions and uncertain fatality rate models, in addition to other key model components, such

Urban greening with shrubs can supercharge invertebrate abundance and diversity

Scientific Reports
In urban areas, diverse and complex habitats for biodiversity are often lacking. This lack of diversity not only compromises essential ecological processes, such as pollination and nutrient cycling, but also diminishes the resilience of urban ecosystems ...

Uneven Impacts of Seawall Heightening on Tsunami Risk Reduction under Rising Sea Levels: Probabilistic Scenarios from the Japan Trench

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Disasters exacerbated by climate change have prompted adaptation measures, including seawall heightening, which is an effective approach to protecting coastal areas. However, the combined effect of rising sea levels and tsunamis can create a compound coastal hazard, in which long‐term sea level rise amplifies the impact of tsunamis.
