Beyond political risk: Toward a holistic understanding of multinational enterprise resilience in the era of cascading crises

Global Strategy Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary This article develops a conceptual framework for understanding multinational enterprise (MNE) resilience in the era of cascading crises. We define resilience as the MNE's capacity to absorb disruption, maintain or restore functioning, and reconfigure operations as conditions shift.

Climatic Drivers of the Area Burned by Winter Wildfires in Northern Italy

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study investigates winter wildfires occurring between November and April in northern Italy over the period 2008–2022. By integrating high‐resolution burned‐area data with gridded climatic indices derived from 150 weather stations, it identifies spatial and temporal wildfire patterns, highlights the most fire‐prone mountain areas through pixel ...

Land‐Atmosphere Coupling Is Associated With Severer Vegetation Productivity Losses During Compound Dry‐Hot Events in Drylands

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Compound dry‐hot events (CDHEs) exerted severer damage on vegetation productivity for temperate shrublands, savannas and grasslands in drylands. Land‐atmosphere coupling was associated with severer negative impacts of CDHEs through soil moisture–temperature feedback, especially for dry‐event‐leading CDHEs.

Enhancing prediction of wildfire occurrence and behavior in Alaska using spatio-temporal clustering and ensemble machine learning

Ecological Informatics
Wildfires are an integral part of Alaska’s ecological landscape, shaping its boreal forests and tundra. However, recent shifts in wildfire frequency, intensity, and seasonality pose unprecedented challenges for fire management in Alaska’s remote and ...

Multi‐Timescale Drought Evolution in Greece (1960–2022) From Station‐Based SPI and SPEI

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Using homogenized data from 67 HNMS stations in Greece (1960–2022), we calculated SPI and SPEI at 1–12‐month scales to characterize meteorological to hydrological drought. We quantified the network‐based spatial extent of drought, compared SPI and SPEI drought signals, and tested changes with autocorrelation‐robust Mann–Kendall trends and Pettitt ...

An Agent-Based Model of Mediterranean Agricultural Land-Use/Cover Change for Examining Wildfire Risk [PDF]

Humans have a long history of activity in Mediterranean Basin landscapes. Spatial heterogeneity in these landscapes hinders our understanding about the impacts of changes in human activity on ecological processes, such as wildfire.

Heat, Health and Holidays: Reported Heat Related Adjustments to Australian Tourist Behaviour

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study assessed how climate‐related hazards affect Australian tourists' travel planning. While 80% of tourists report no impact, the 20% who do experience disruption most commonly change their activities, timing, or destination, with heat and rain affecting the same proportion of tourists across beach, city, nature, and family tourism types ...
