Abstract:
... Risk management in supply chains has emerged as one of the most attractive research topics in the supply chain management field. However, much more is still needed towards hedging against environmental risks. The recent environmental scandals and accidents bring to light the negligence of the environmental issues by supply chains. The present study analyses both external and internal factors of en ...

Abstract:
... Flood-inundation modelling is essential for understanding flood dynamics and implementing flood risk management. Despite its increasing demands, it remains computationally expensive to perform 2-D flood-inundation simulations at large scales or fine spatial resolutions. This study presents a simple and novel algorithm for 2-D flood-inundation modelling, called the Automatic Domain Updating method, ...

Abstract:
... The risk management inherent in a company's supply chain has become a decisive line for its growth, generating a competitive differential. The literature on risk management is diverse; however, much has been studied on the financial risks and little on the social risks in which the supply chain of a company may be involved. The current scenario is critical. For example, the Global Slavery Index sh ...

Abstract:
... This paper contributes to the contentious topic of whether shocks to agricultural commodity prices are permanent or transitory. This is an important issue with regards to forecasting, economic modelling of agricultural prices and risk management. Past studies have not accounted for important characteristics of agricultural prices that matter when testing whether shocks to prices are permanent or t ...

Abstract:
... Resilience-building activities are increasingly evident in development projects, and as a result, there is a growing focus on monitoring and evaluating the associated outcomes of these projects for improved climate risk management. Significant challenges in measuring resilience, however, contribute to both a tendency towards imperfect quantified metrics, and a quest for universal resilience indica ...

Abstract:
... Recent studies cast doubt on the ability of abstract experiments to predict decision‐making in the field. Thus, scholars have argued for more ‘realism’ by introducing context to field experiments. Yet, such realism may work against the induced values of monetary incentives in economic experiments. It is an open question whether contextual framing works best with or without inducing values, through ...

Abstract:
... In many Western countries, flood policy is transitioning from a focus on technical flood defence measures towards more holistic and integrated flood risk management approaches. In this article, we explore the boundary spanning role of landscape architects in integrated flood risk management projects.

In the particular case of bark-included junctions (a common structural flaw occurring in a wide range of tree species), a questionnaire was launched at eleven UK-based training workshops in 2016. The questi ...

For the development of sustainable, efficient risk management strategies for the hydrological extremes of droughts and floods, it is essential to understand the temporal changes of impacts, and their respective causes and interactions. In particular, little is known about changes in vulnerability and their influence on drought and flood impacts. We present a fictitious dialogue between two experts ...

Abstract:
... Identifying the offshore forcing and breaching conditions that lead to marine inundation is of high importance for risk management. This task cannot be conducted by using a numerical hydrodynamic model due to its high computation time cost (of several minutes or even hours). In the present study, we show how the random forest (RF) classification technique can approximate the numerical model to exp ...

While valuable efforts have been made to characterize vulnerability components (exposure, sensitivity, and response capacity) at particular ecosystem stages, there is still a lack of context-specific studies accounting for the temporal dimension of vulnerability. In this study, we developed a procedure t ...
