Addressing Subjectivity and Refining Spatial Patterns in Natural Language Processing of Mississippi River Basin Scientific Literature
Natural language processing (NLP) applications for extracting spatial information from text data require robust, reproducible, and trustworthy modeling approaches. Our study enlisted a latent Dirichlet allocation algorithm to extract latent spatial patterns in published scientific literature about the Mississippi River Basin. We focused on methods to address subjectivity and refine three “geospatial topic modeling” steps: data preparation, model …
Critical Stakeholder Engagement
To help stakeholders such as planners, resource managers, policymakers, and decision makers address environmental challenges in the Anthropocene, scientists are increasingly creating actionable science-science that is useful, usable, and used. Critical physical geography encourages the engagement of stakeholders in the creation of scientific knowledge to conduct actionable science and produce outputs that are directly relevant to stakeholder plan…
What Floodplain Managers Want
As a result of climate change, extreme precipitation events are likely to become more common in Oklahoma, requiring cities and municipalities to plan for managing this extra water. There are multiple types of practitioners within communities who are responsible for overseeing planning for the future, including stormwater and floodplain management. These practitioners may be able to integrate weather and climate information into their decision-mak…
A Spatial Analysis of Decisions Made in Response to Simulated Tornado Warnings in the United States
Although decision-making in response to tornado warnings is well researched, most studies do not examine whether individual responses to these warnings vary across different geographical locations and demographic groups. This gap is addressed by using data from a decision experiment that places participants virtually in a simulated tornado warning and asks them to minimize the costs of their decisions. The authors examine the following: 1) what d…
Engaging with stakeholders to produce actionable science
Natural and cultural resource managers are increasingly working with the scientific community to create information on how best to adapt to the current and projected impacts of climate change. Engaging with these managers is a strategy that researchers can use to ensure that scientific outputs and findings are actionable (or useful and usable). In this article, the authors adapt Davidson’s wheel of participation to characterize and describe commo…
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…
Cartographic Design for Improved Decision Making
At present, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is developing new technologies that could offer explicit estimates of the probability that a thunderstorm could produce a tornado up to an hour ahead of the event. Such technologies could radically alter how risk spaces are represented and understood by those who must decide whether or not to take protective action. In addition, there are relatively few studies that examine mapped re…
Tornado folk science in Alabama and Mississippi in the 27 April 2011 tornado outbreak
On the Economic Nature of Crop Production Decisions Using the Oklahoma Mesonet
Because of the sensitivity of agricultural production to both short-term weather and long-range climatic patterns, the availability of reliable and relevant meteorological data and climate products can potentially affect the entire production process. This study focuses on the use of information from a dense meteorological network—the Oklahoma Mesonet—and its AgWeather program in support of agricultural production decisions. Production decisions …
Attachment Styles in Older European American and African American Adults
Age and ethnicity differences appear to reflect cohort effects related to the impact of economic hardship on families earlier this century and racial prejudice. The high rates of dismissing attachment and low rates of secure attachment in this large urban population suggest that these individuals may be at risk for social isolation and poor health as they become older and more frail
