In their study of the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill (DHOS), the authors use data from the Resilient Children, Youth, and Communities study, a unique panel data, to consider the effect of DHOS exposure on health trajectories of children.
The study found that only marine reserves in areas of low human impact consistently sustained top predators.
In this study the authors find that that women fish farmers as well as women and men crop farmers perceived greater climate-related risks to profits, and this corresponded with attaching greater importance to risk management practices at the farm and community levels, thus showing that gender can influence risk-taking and decision-making and therefore should be taken into account when strengthening climate risk management practices or designing adaptation interventions.
Through joint analysis of data from Community Oil Spill Survey and US Census Bureau products, a place-based index of social vulnerability is developed to examine the relationship between emplaced social vulnerability and impacts on mental health following the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
Results form this study show that when strengthening climate risk management practices or designing adaptation interventions, gender should be taken into account as it can influence risk-taking and decision-making.
The authors designed and conducted a new survey to collect both migration and environmental data in Vietnam in order to study the effects of individual perceptions of different types of environmental events (i.e., sudden/short-term vs. slow-onset/long-term) on migration decisions.
Using data from the 2008 Philippines Demographic and Health Survey and MPA data from the Coastal Conservation and Education Fund, the study examines the degree to which marine protected areas (MPAs), which aim to conserve marine biodiversity, are associated with improved nutritional outcomes in children under age 5.
This book examines the human dimension of coastal ecosystem management.
Article highlights population-environmental problems in three geographic sites in the Bay of Bengal Subregion and proposes policy options.
