    • Resilienssin ulottuvuudet [The dimensions of resilience; in Finnish] 

      Pursiainen, Christer Henrik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-22)
      Resilienssi on aikamme iskusanoja. Termillä on pitkät perinteet, mutta vasta 2010-luvulla se nousi suureen suosioon. Resilienssiä tutkitaan usean tieteenalan piirissä, ja termillä on lukuisia käytännöllisiä sovellusaloja. Tämä on johtanut siihen, että ei ole yksiselitteistä, mitä resilienssi milloinkin tarkoittaa. Termin kääntäminen kansallisille kielille, useimmiten tavoittamatta sen moninaisuutta, ...

      Tuominen, Tomi; Halonen, Kirsi-Maria; Salminen, Mirva Miia Tuulikki (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-16)
      Security of supply refers to governmental policies that aim to secure the availability of critical products at all times. The COVID-19 pandemic brought to fore the importance of such policies, as suddenly there was an overwhelming need for critical medical supplies that the markets were not able to fulfil. Following the pandemic, the EU has started to construct its own security of supply policy, ...

    • Application of a structured decision-making process in cryospheric hazard planning: Case study of Bering Glacier surges on local state planning in Alaska 

      Abdel-Fattah, Dina Tarek; Danielson, Mats; Ekenberg, Love; Hock, Regine; Trainor, Sarah (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-28)
      Surging glaciers are glaciers that experience rapidly accelerated glacier flow over a comparatively short period of time. Though relatively rare worldwide, Alaska is home to the largest number of surge-type glaciers globally. However, their impact on the broader socioecological system in the state is both poorly understood and underresearched, which poses a challenge in developing appropriate ...
    • Sea-spray measurement tools and technique employed in marine icing field expeditions: A critical literature review and assessment using CFD simulations
