The chapter examines how the Anthropocene’s advent has affected the ability of humans to stop their activities from having negative ecological effects by applying legal controls to them. It finds that attempts to prevent actions from harming ecosyste... Read More about Ecological Law in the Anthropocene.

Can subsidies rather than pollution taxes break the trade-off between economic output and environmental protection? (2020)
Journal Article
Renström, T. I., Spataro, L., & Marsiliani, L. (2021). Can subsidies rather than pollution taxes break the trade-off between economic output and environmental protection?. Energy Economics, 95, Article 105084. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eneco.2020.105084

We build a general equilibrium dynamic model in which individual investors are endowed with “warm-glow” preferences a la Andreoni (1990) so that they feel partly responsible for the pollution content of their portfolio. Through investors’ portfolio c... Read More about Can subsidies rather than pollution taxes break the trade-off between economic output and environmental protection?.

A hybrid finite volume/finite element method for shallow water waves by static deformation on seabeds (2020)
Journal Article
Al-Ghosoun, A., Osman, A., & Seaid, M. (2021). A hybrid finite volume/finite element method for shallow water waves by static deformation on seabeds. Engineering Computations, 38(5), 2434-2459. https://doi.org/10.1108/ec-05-2020-0275

Purpose The purpose of this study is twofold: first, to derive a consistent model free-surface runup flow problems over deformable beds. The authors couple the nonlinear one-dimensional shallow water equations, including friction terms for the water...

21st century response of Petermann Glacier, northwest Greenland to ice shelf loss (2020)
Journal Article
Hill, E., Gudmundsson, G., Carr, J., Stokes, C., & King, H. (2021). 21st century response of Petermann Glacier, northwest Greenland to ice shelf loss. Journal of Glaciology, 67(261), 147-157. https://doi.org/10.1017/jog.2020.97

Ice shelves restrain flow from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. Climate-ocean warming could force thinning or collapse of floating ice shelves and subsequently accelerate flow, increase ice discharge and raise global mean sea levels. Petermann...

Distribution and seasonal evolution of supraglacial lakes on Shackleton Ice Shelf, East Antarctica (2020)
Journal Article
Arthur, J., Stokes, C., Jamieson, S., Carr, J., & Leeson, A. (2020). Distribution and seasonal evolution of supraglacial lakes on Shackleton Ice Shelf, East Antarctica. The Cryosphere, 14(11), 4103-4120. https://doi.org/10.5194/tc-14-4103-2020

Supraglacial lakes (SGLs) enhance surface melting and can flex and fracture ice shelves when they grow and subsequently drain, potentially leading to ice shelf disintegration. However, the seasonal evolution of SGLs and their influence on ice shelf s... Read More about Distribution and seasonal evolution of supraglacial lakes on Shackleton Ice Shelf, East Antarctica.
