From disorientation to preparedness: Information practices as scaffolding in acute crises

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract This qualitative study examines how adults in Israel enacted information practices during an acute national crisis. Using the information transitions framework, we investigate how concrete practices emerge and evolve across three stages: understanding, negotiating, and resolving. Semi‐structured Zoom interviews with 18 adults were analyzed via

Restoring Trust: Rebuilding the Forest Carbon Credit System Through Scientific Rigor

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As pivotal nature‐based climate solutions (NbCS), forests are increasingly recognized for their climate mitigation potential. However, this potential is undermined by fundamental flaws in current carbon credit systems. Our analysis identifies four interconnected systemic challenges: (1) subjective additionality assessments arising from ...

Some Wildfire Ignition Causes Pose More Risk of Destroying Houses than Others.

PLoS ONE, 2016
Many houses are at risk of being destroyed by wildfires. While previous studies have improved our understanding of how, when and why houses are destroyed by wildfires, little attention has been given to how these fires started.

Future climate change impact on wildfire danger over the Mediterranean: the case of Greece

Environmental Research Letters, 2022
Recent studies have shown that temperature and precipitation in the Mediterranean are expected to change, contributing to longer and more intense summer droughts that even extend out of season.

Spatial metrics in fire ecology: seeking consistency amidst complexity

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Technological advances, including remote sensing, have led to a proliferation of metrics used in ecological studies to examine spatial patterns of fire regimes and their ecological effects. Researchers can use many different metrics to analyse spatial variation in both fire events and resulting fire regimes, including fire size, shape ...

San Diego, 2050 is Calling: How Will We Answer? [PDF]

, 2014
Recent public opinion surveys have found that an overwhelming majority -- 84% -- of San Diego County residents believe climate change is happening, and almost as many expect the impacts to affect them, their families and future generations.

Climate Change Risks and Customer Concentration: Evidence From US‐Listed Firms

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While prior studies have investigated climate risks in supply chains, customer ESG pressures, and shared climate exposure, this paper is, to the best of our knowledge, the first to provide direct empirical evidence on the relationship between climate change risks and firms' customer concentration.

How much does weather control fire size and intensity in the Mediterranean region? [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2015
This study investigates the synoptic conditions favorable to wildfires in the Mediterranean region, in terms of fire intensity and burnt area. As reported in the literature, Mediterranean large wildfires are associated with a blocking situation ...

Biomass-modulated fire dynamics during the last glacial-interglacial transition at the central pyrenees (Spain) [PDF]

, 2014
Understanding long-term fire ecology is essential for current day interpretation of ecosystem fire responses. However palaeoecology of fire is still poorly understood, especially at high-altitude mountain environments, despite the fact that these are ...

Symbolic or Substantive Action: Intent, Effort, and Results

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many firms have made ambitious climate pledges since the Paris Agreement of 2015. These pledges may be symbolic or substantive, but the literature is fragmented in defining these two terms. We propose a conceptual framework with three frames to delineate symbolic from substantive action: Intent—underlying motivations for engaging in climate ...
