Integrated Urban Flood Risk Management
This bibliometric analysis of Integrated Urban Flood Risk Management (IUFRM) scholarship from 2011 to 2024 confirms the catalytic roles of the 2015 global conventions (SFDRR, Paris Agreement, SDGs), evidenced by accelerated publication growth. Conceptually, climate change has become a dominant and integral theme, while sustainability strategies, such as nature‐based solutions, have emerged as crucial basic themes with strong potential for further…
Stories as data
Natural resource management intertwines with cultural practices and health outcomes for Indigenous peoples. Indigenous communities have managed and contributed to knowledge on ecosystems and sustainability since time immemorial. However, Indigenous communities in California face significant institutional constraints when implementing practices such as cultural burning. Indigenous-led research projects, programs, and political action are crucial t…
Building urban flood resilience through institutional adaptive capacity
Building resilience has been a critical agenda for disaster risk management, but how to build and what to build tend to remain abstract. Our analysis offers insights on practices deployed by the Seoul Metropolitan Government to increase the city's resilience to floods. By specifically choosing two districts in the city, we interviewed key informants involved in flood risk management (FRM) and reviewed documents on FRM at the city and local levels…
Designing Chill City
Climate change and the urban heat island (UHI) effect are increasing extreme heat risk in cities across the world, and have already made extreme heat the top weather-related cause of death in the United States. Despite this, understanding of viable strategies to address extreme heat is still limited, for both decision-makers and the public. Using a design-based research methodology, we developed an interactive educational game, Chill City, which …
Developing a comprehensive methodology for evaluating economic impacts of floods in Canada, Mexico and the United States
Assessing the true economic costs of floods is central to addressing their impacts, allocating adequate resources for monitoring and preparedness, assessing their changes over time, and building resilient communities. Considerable variability exists in the choice and implementation of methods used in Canada, Mexico, and the United States at national and sub-national levels for estimating the direct damages and indirect losses caused by floods. Th…
Meteorological Factors Associated With Frost Rings in Rocky Mountain Bristlecone Pine at Mt. Goliath, Colorado
The meteorological factors involved in the formation of earlywood frost rings in Rocky Mountain bristlecone pine (Pinus aristata) have not been described in detail. This study used 51 tree-ring dated Rocky Mountain bristlecone pine trees growing at ca. 3500 m a.s.l. on Mt. Goliath, Colorado, to develop earlywood and latewood frost ring chronologies dating from 1930 to 2010 for investigation of the regional and large-scale weather anomalies respon…
Metrics for assessing adaptive capacity and water security
Adaptive management and water security in a global context
Water Security and Adaptive Management in the Arid Americas
Societal use of freshwater, ecosystems’ dependence on water, and hydroclimatic processes interact dynamically. Changes in any of these subsystems can cause unpredictable feedback, resulting in water insecurity for humans and ecosystems. By drawing on resilience theory, we extend current productive–destructive framings of water security to better address societal–ecosystem–hydroclimatic (SEH) interactions, dynamics, and uncertainties that drive in…
Transboundary adaptive management to reduce climate-change vulnerability in the western U.S.–Mexico border region
Rethinking integrated assessments and management projects in the Americas
Human Pyrogeography
Climate and fire have shaped global ecosystems for millennia. Today human influence on both of these components is causing changes to ecosystems at a scale and pace not previously seen. This article reviews trends in pyrogeography research, through the lens of interactions between fire, climate and society. We synthesize research on the occurrence and extent of wildland fire, the historic role of climate as a driver of fire regimes, the increasin…
Adapting Across Boundaries
The spatial and human dimensions of climate change are brought into relief at international borders where climate change poses particular challenges. This article explores “double exposure” to climatic and globalization processes for the U.S.–Mexico border region, where rapid urbanization, industrialization, and agricultural intensification result in vulnerability to water scarcity as the primary climate change concern. For portions of the wester…
Drought and declining reservoirs
Exploratory Temperature and Precipitation Reconstructions from the Qinling Mountains, North-Central China
February–April (FMA) temperature at Foping (1879–1989) and July–August (JA) precipitation at Xian (1895–1988) have been reconstructed using total ring width (TRW) and maximum latewood density (MXD) from trees in the Qinling Mountains, at the northern limit of the East Asian monsoon, in central China. The Xian JA precipitation reconstruction, albeit short, represents the first well-replicated, crossdated dendroclimatic reconstruction of summer mon…
A Preliminary Reconstruction of Rainfall in North-Central China since A.D. 1600 from Tree-Ring Density and Width
May-June (MJ) and April-July (AJ) precipitation at Huashan in north-central China has been reconstructed for the period A.D. 1600 to 1988 using tree-ring density and width from Pinus armandii . MJ precipitation (based on ring width and maximum latewood density) calibrated and cross-validated against local instrumental data more strongly than AJ precipitation (based only on ring width). A major drought was reconstructed for the mid- and late 1920s…
