Angus McEwan 1937–2018
Dr Angus McEwan FAA FTSE who died on 5 September 2018, aged 81, was a renowned Australian fluid dynamicist, specialising in designing and conducting experimental studies in geophysical fluid dynamics, and providing outstanding leadership of national and international research programs in oceanography and meteorology
Detecting a forced signal in satellite-era sea-level change
In this study, we compare the spatial patterns of simulated geocentric sea-level change to observations from satellite altimetry over the period 1993–2015 to assess whether a forced signal is detectable. This is challenging, as on these time scales internal variability plays an important role and may dominate the observed spatial patterns of regional sea-level change. Model simulations of regional sea-level change associated with sterodynamic sea…
The Patient Narrative Project - Phase One
In 2012 the Irish Department of Health set the agenda[1] in Ireland for the creation of ‘a new integrated model of care that treats patients at the lowest level of complexity that is safe, timely, efficient, and as close to home as possible’. To enable the delivery of integrated models of care five Integrated Care Programmes are being established within the Irish Health Service Executive under the office of the Clinical Strategy and Programmes Di…
Interactions between sea-level rise and wave exposure on reef island dynamics in the Solomon Islands
Low-lying reef islands in the Solomon Islands provide a valuable window into the future impacts of global sea-level rise. Sea-level rise has been predicted to cause widespread erosion and inundation of low-lying atolls in the central Pacific. However, the limited research on reef islands in the western Pacific indicates the majority of shoreline changes and inundation to date result from extreme events, seawalls and inappropriate development rath…
Evaluating the ability of process based models to project sea-level change
We evaluate the ability of process based models to reproduce observed global mean sea-level change. When the models are forced by changes in natural and anthropogenic radiative forcing of the climate system and anthropogenic changes in land-water storage, the average of the modelled sea-level change for the periods 1900–2010, 1961–2010 and 1990–2010 is about 80%, 85% and 90% of the observed rise. The modelled rate of rise is over 1 mm yr−1 prior …
Climate Information for Coping with Environmental Change
Sea-Level Rise from the Late 19th to the Early 21st Century
We estimate the rise in global average sea level from satellite altimeter data for 1993–2009 and from coastal and island sea-level measurements from 1880 to 2009. For 1993–2009 and after correcting for glacial isostatic adjustment, the estimated rate of rise is 3.2 ± 0.4 mm year −1 from the satellite data and 2.8 ± 0.8 mm year −1 from the in situ data. The global average sea-level rise from 1880 to 2009 is about 210 mm. The linear trend from 1900…
Do Provincial Drug Benefit Initiatives Create an Effective Policy Lab? The Evidence from Canada
Although the costs of doctors' visits and hospital stays in Canada are covered by national public health insurance, the cost of outpatient prescription drugs is not. To solve problems of access, Canadian provinces have introduced provincial prescription drug benefit programs. This study analyzes the prescription drug policymaking process in five Canadian provinces between 1992 and 2004 with a view to (1) determining the federal government's role …
Cross-ministerial collaboration related to paediatric rehabilitation for children with disabilities and their families in one Canadian province
The delivery of paediatric rehabilitation services is complex due to the involvement of different service sectors and diverse models of care. Parents of children with disabilities find it challenging to navigate successfully through complicated service delivery systems. Cross-sectoral collaboration to improve continuity of care for children with disabilities and their families is viewed as ideal in public policies. The purpose of this research wa…

Health reform in Alberta
In 1994, the Government of Alberta passed the Regional Health Authorities Act to abolish nearly 200 existing local hospital and public health boards and replace them with seventeen regional health authorities. Consistent with the larger fiscal agenda, the government's intention was to address health‐care system efficiency through larger integrated management and governance structures. In this article, the authors examine why Alberta decided to cr…
Public Policy Processes and Getting Physical Activity into Alberta’s Urban Schools
Square Pegs in Round Holes
In May 2003 all university faculties of medicine, health sciences, nursing, business, and public administration in Canada were surveyed to document whether their promotion practices gave equal treatment to researchers with traditional disciplinary-based scholarly outputs versus those with nontraditional outputs flowing from an applied interest in interdisciplinary research, collaboration with nonacademics, and knowledge transfer. Forty-seven dean…
Health reform and privatization in Alberta
In 2000 the Government of Alberta passed legislation to regulate the activities of private health clinics in the provision of insured health services through contracts with regional health authorities. In seven years the interaction of ideas, interests, institutions, and external events forced the Government of Alberta to move from a non‐regulatory policy stance to a policy of stringent regulation. The legislation struck a balance among competing…
