Application of Weather Derivatives in Multi-Period Risk Management [PDF]
This work is a first attempt to analyze the effect of weather derivative availability on the risk management strategies in a multi-period setting, when crop activities take place twice a year. Rice production in Ecuador is used as a case study. Numerical

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.This study demonstrates the feasibility of an underground closed‐loop thermal storage facility at a post‐mining site, intended for seasonal heat energy storage. Its principal design shows water flow directions in winter and summer (1, 2), heat pumps (3), an upper water reservoir (4), and connecting pipes (5).

Weather Effects in Transition [PDF]
This paper tests whether weather affects stock returns in the transition countries of Central and Eastern Europe and the CIS. In these countries, reliable information about the fundamentals of stocks is scarce, and hence the ‘mood’ of investors is more ...

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.This review systematically examines how different transition metal compounds—such as binary and multinary metal oxides, halides, sulfides, and salts—exhibit thermochromism based on the d‐electron configurations of their transition metal cations. It focuses on three main mechanisms of thermochromism: phase transition, charge transfer, and bandgap change.

WEATHER-BASED ADVERSE SELECTION AND THE U.S. CROP INSURANCE PROGRAM: THE PRIVATE INSURANCE COMPANY PERSPECTIVE [PDF]
Surprisingly, investigations of adverse selection have focused only on farmers. Conversely, this article investigates if insurance companies, not farmers, can generate excess rents from adverse selection activities.

The projected risk of plant invasions on the peri‐Antarctic islands under climate change
Ecography, EarlyView.The peri‐Antarctic islands have largely been shielded from alien plant species due to low human pressure, limited introduction pathways, and local harsh climates. However, climate change is expected to lower these barriers. We assess the vulnerability of 12 peri‐Antarctic islands to invasion by 2220 plant species invasive in at least one region of the ...

Ecography, EarlyView.Over the past decades, Arctic and alpine biomes have warmed faster than the global average. Substantial vegetation changes have been reported as a response to this warming, including increased productivity and the spread of warm‐adapted (thermophilic) species that are less resistant to grazing pressure into higher latitudes and altitudes.

Ecography, EarlyView.Predator–prey interactions are vital to ecosystem functioning but may be disrupted by climate change. We investigated a food‐web network involving three owl species over 24 years in a semi‐arid ecosystem at Bosque Fray Jorge National Park, Chile.
