This paper presents a constitutive modelling approach to the viscoplastic-damage behaviour of geomaterials. This approach is based on the hyperelasticity framework where the entire constitutive behaviour is derived from only two scalar potentials: a...

We present a unified approach to analyze sin taxes, by allowing for a non-paternalistic view, stemming from crowding-out externalities, in addition to the paternalistic view. Analytical results show the additive property between the Pigouvian and the... Read More about Optimal sin taxes in the presence of income taxes and health care.

Better Together: Water Treatment Residual and Poor-Quality Compost Improves Sandy Soil Fertility (2019)

Water treatment residual (WTR) is an underused clean water industry byproduct, generally disposed to landfill. This study assesses the benefits and risks of ferric-WTR as a soil amendment or co-amendment for plant growth in a nutrient-poor sandy soil...

Supraglacial lakes are important to ice sheet mass balance because their development and drainage has been linked to changes in ice flow velocity and ice shelf disintegration. However, little is known about their distribution on the world’s largest i... Read More about Widespread distribution of supraglacial lakes around the margin of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet.
