Present-day strain accumulations and fault kinematics at the Hatay Triple Junction using new geodetic constraints

Tectonophysics, Volume 854, 5 May 2023, 229819

This paper provides 57 site velocity measurements, with interpretation, for the Hatay Triple Junction in the region of the 6 February 2023 M 7.8 Pazarcik earthquake sequence in Southeastern Turkey. Given the significance of this earthquake sequence, and the potential uses for future earthquake predictions, this paper would apply to SDG 15 -Life on land.

Triggering sustainable plastics consumption behavior: Identifying consumer profiles across Europe and designing strategies to engage them

Sustainable Production and Consumption, Volume 36, March 2023

This paper sought to explore similarities, variations and determinants of sustainable plastics consumption behavior within a sample of approximately 7600 respondents from eight European countries. We find that most consumers engage in sustainable plastics behavior during the usage phase, by reusing plastic containers and refilling water bottles. The regression analysis suggests that personal responsibility, having high values for nature, being a member of a nature organization and feeling knowledgeable about plastic pollution are important predictors of sustainable plastics consumption.
