Unearthing the impact of earthquakes: A review of economic and social consequences

Journal of Policy Analysis and Management, EarlyView.
Abstract The purpose of this paper is to offer a comprehensive overview of the socioeconomic effects of earthquakes. We begin with a thorough literature review. Following this, we assess policy measures taken in response to major earthquakes, drawing on existing research to formulate insights and recommendations that policymakers can use to effectively

Constraining the origin of magnetic white dwarfs [PDF]

arXiv
The origin of magnetic white dwarfs has been a long standing puzzle. Proposed origin mechanisms have included: fossil fields frozen in from the progenitor convective core; a dynamo in the progenitor envelope; crystallization dynamos in sufficiently cool white dwarfs; and accretion disk dynamos from white dwarf-white dwarf mergers or tidally shredded ...

We are storytelling apes: Experimenting with new scientific narratives in a time of climate and biodiversity collapse

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Provoked by a lack of appropriate political action on the global climate and biodiversity crisis, we present a perspective advocating and demonstrating a new plurality in scientific communication methods. Science writing, in being objective and dispassionate, actively seeks to mask empathetic connection and hides curiosities that may exist ...

Predicted scarcity of suitable habitat for alpine plant communities in northern Japan under climate change

Applied Vegetation Science, Volume 25, Issue 4, October/December 2022., 2022
We estimated the future distribution of alpine and subalpine vegetation types under climate change in the Taisetsu Mountains, Daisetsuzan National Park, Hokkaido (northern Japan). Under the RCP2.6 scenario, habitats suitable for snowbeds and alpine heathland/fellfield drastically decreased overall.

How to rule out (g − 2) μ in U 1 L μ − L τ $$ \textrm{U}{(1)}_{L_{\mu }-{L}_{\tau }} $$ with white dwarf cooling

Journal of High Energy Physics
In recent years, the gauge group U 1 L μ − L τ $$ \textrm{U}{(1)}_{L_{\mu }-{L}_{\tau }} $$ has received a lot of attention since it can, in principle, account for the observed excess in the anomalous muon magnetic moment (g − 2) μ , as well as the ...

Landrace diversity and heritage of the indigenous millet crop fonio (Digitaria exilis): Socio‐cultural and climatic drivers of change in the Fouta Djallon region of Guinea

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
White fonio (Digitaria exilis [Kippist] Stapf) is an understudied millet crop, indigenous to West Africa and cultivated in the region largely through traditional practices. This species is climate‐resilient, fast‐growing, nutritionally rich, and provides livelihoods and food security to rural communities.

Shocking and Mass Loss of Compact Donor Stars in Type Ia Supernovae

The Astrophysical Journal
Type Ia supernovae arise from thermonuclear explosions of white dwarfs accreting from a binary companion. Following the explosion, the surviving donor star leaves at roughly its orbital velocity.
