  • Governance innovations in the coastal zone

    Open AccessCarmen E Elrick‐barr, Carmen E Elrick-Barr et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2024Cited by: 1References: 7

    Innovation is championed to enable transformation towards social-ecological resilience in coastal communities. Yet, innovation in coastal areas is not well understood with limited research concerning the nature of innovations and determinants of success. Analysis of interviews with 68 coastal and community key informants in Australia’s most rapidly growing coastal communities revealed that despite high levels of individual capacity (e.g., among c…

  • The Anthropocene Obscene

    Open AccessDana C Thomsen, T Frise Smith et al.ARTICLEGeographical Journal2024Cited by: 1References: 46

    Poetic inquiry is used to highlight contrasting lived experiences of vulnerability and worsening socio-ecological outcomes among Australia's fastest growing coastal communities. Our approach interweaves multiple participant voices across local and national scales to juxtapose the contrasts of inequality, enmesh social and ecological experiences, and ask reflexive questions of audiences. We offer an evocative portrayal of inequality to the growing…

  • Understanding the complex power dynamics that shape collaboration and social learning in multi-stakeholder water governance

    Open AccessLisa Mcilwain, Julia Baird et al.ARTICLEConservation Ecology2024

    The relationship between power dynamics and decision making in natural resource management is central to explaining governance outcomes. Contemporary catchment governance is increasingly characterized by the interaction of multiple stakeholder groups, which has shifted processes like collaboration and social learning into the focus of water governance research and related fields. Because collaboration and social learning are effective tools for r…

  • Third-generation adaptive capacity assessment for climate-resilient development

    Carmen E Elrick‐barr, Ryan Plummer et al.ARTICLEClimate and Development2023

    Human development seeks to enlarge freedoms by building capacity and is integral to achieving sustainable development, particularly in the era of the Anthropocene. However, the efficiency and effectiveness of capacity building is limited. First-generation adaptive capacity emphasizes a deficit model. Second-generation adaptive capacity focuses on mobilization by individuals. Neither adequately address the issue of scale, nor recognize how stocks …

  • The tragedy of climate change science

    Open AccessBruce Glavovic, T Frise Smith et al.ARTICLEClimate and Development2022

    The science-society contract is broken. The climate is changing. Science demonstrates why this is occurring, that it is getting worse, the implications for human well-being and social-ecological systems, and substantiates action. Governments agree that the science is settled. The tragedy of climate change science is that at the same time as compelling evidence is gathered, fresh warnings issued, and novel methodologies developed, indicators of ad…

    Open AccessPippa Huddleston, T Frise Smith et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2022

  • Crisis management

    Open AccessJonathan Raikes, T Frise Smith et al.ARTICLEGeographical Research2022References: 42

    Crisis management planning and response can be improved by regional governments and organisations learning from one another. Specifically, comparative learning may be a benefit when groups understand the perceived effectiveness of various regional approaches when responding to different types of hazards. This article presents findings from a comparative case study analysis of regional governance perspectives of crisis management for geopolitical …

  • Old ways for new days

    Open AccessMelissa Nursey-Bray, R Palmer et al.ARTICLELocal Environment2019Cited by: 23References: 8

    This paper explores how Australia's Indigenous peoples understand and respond to climate change impacts on their traditional land and seas. Our results show that: (i) Indigenous peoples are observing modifications to their country due to climate change, and are doing so in both ancient and colonial time scales; (ii) the ways that climate change terminology is discursively understood and used is fundamental to achieving deep engagement and effecti…

  • Adaptive capacity of small-scale coastal fishers to climate and non-climate stressors in the Western region of Ghana

    Open AccessGeorge Freduah, Pedro Fidelman et al.ARTICLEGeographical Journal2019Cited by: 10References: 44

    Small-scale coastal fisheries (SSCF) in the Western region of Ghana are affected by a combination of climate and non-climate stressors. Coastal communities are particularly vulnerable to these stressors because of their proximity to the sea and high dependence on small-scale fisheries for their livelihoods. A better understanding of how fishing communities, particularly SSCF, respond to climate and non-climate stressors is paramount to improve pl…

  • Mobilising adaptive capacity to multiple stressors

  • Living with disasters

    Open AccessMaria De Lourdes Melo Zurita, Brian Cook et al.ARTICLEDisasters2018Cited by: 7References: 43

    This paper explores how social networks and bonds within and across organisations shape disaster operations and strategies. Local government disaster training exercises serve as a window through which to view these relations, and 'social capital' is used as an analytic for making sense of the human relations at the core of disaster management operations. These elements help to expose and substantiate the often intangible relations that compose th…

  • Environmental Sustainability

    Open AccessMichael Howes, Liana Wortley et al.ARTICLESustainability2017

    For a generation, governments around the world have been committed to sustainable development as a policy goal. This has been supported by an array of new policies ranging from international agreements, to national strategies, environmental laws at many levels of government, regional programs, and local plans. Despite these efforts, decades of scientific monitoring indicate that the world is no closer to environmental sustainability and in many r…

  • The roles of capitals in building capacity to address urban flooding in the shift to a new water management approach

    Open AccessRyan Plummer, Steven Renzetti et al.ARTICLEEnvironment and Planning C…2017References: 31

    Stresses on water resources are considerable and will intensify in the future due to climatic and non-climatic drivers. The emerging shift from science-based command and control ‘old’ water management approach to a dynamic and integrative systems view of water—a ‘new’ water management approach—was explored using the concept of capacity, operationalized using the livelihoods capitals approach (i.e. physical, natural, financial, human and social ca…

  • Rapid regional-scale assessments of socio-economic vulnerability to climate change

    Open AccessErin F Smith, Scott N Lieske et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    Assessing socio-economic vulnerability to climate change impacts to support regional decision-making is conceptually and practically challenging. We report on research that tested a rapid assessment approach of socio-economic vulnerability in Australia's natural resource management regions. The approach focuses on regionally important economic sectors, identified using existing datasets, which are likely to be sensitive to climate change impacts.…

  • Reframing water

    Open AccessMaria De Lourdes Melo Zurita, Dana C Thomsen et al.ARTICLEGeoforum2015Cited by: 7References: 20

    Water fulfills multiple functions and is instilled with numerous meanings: it is concurrently an economic input, an aesthetic reference, a religious symbol, a public good, a fundamental resource for public health, and a biophysical need for humans and ecosystems. Hence, water has multiple ontologies embedded within diverse social, cultural, spiritual, and political domains. For this paper, we reviewed 78 pieces of water legislation across the Eur…

  • Perceptions of Risk among Households in Two Australian Coastal Communities

    Open AccessCarmen E Elrick‐barr, T Frise Smith et al.ARTICLEGeographical Research2015Cited by: 4References: 57

    There is limited knowledge of risk perceptions in coastal communities despite their vulnerability to a range of risks including the impacts of climate change. A survey of 400 households in two Australian coastal communities, combined with semi-structured interviews, provides insight into household perceptions of the relative importance of climatic and non-climatic risks and the subsequent risk priorities that may inform household adaptive action.…
