“Iron Ion Relative Weathering Index”: A New Index for Identifying the Weathering Degree in Red Sandstone [PDF]
ACS OmegaThe red bed region in west central and southern China is affected by hot and humid climate, where sandstone is intensely weathered. The weathered hazardous rocks seriously threaten the road and slope, making it challenging to protect the Danxia red bed.

The weathering process of carbonatite: weathering time [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Soil formation by rock weathering is driven by a combination of parent material, climate, organisms, topography, and time. Among these soil-forming factors, time plays a pivotal role in the weathering of carbonatite but it is a challenging factor to ...

Weather extremes, agriculture and the value of weather index insurance
The Geneva Risk and Insurance Review, 2023 AbstractThis paper evaluates the potential value of a weather index insurance for the agriculture sector in an high income country (Germany). In our theoretical analysis we model an index insurance, a loss-based insurance market as well as a combination of both kinds of insurance and compare the resulting expected utility of a risk averse crop farmer ...
