Deciphering spatial-temporal dynamics of flood exposure in the United States
FloodSafeHome
Freeboard—elevation of a structure above the base flood elevation (BFE)—is a critical component in mitigating or avoiding flood losses. However, the unrevealed benefits and savings of freeboard installation have prevented communities from adopting this approach. To improve decision-making for residents, prospective residents, and other stakeholders in flood-vulnerable communities and enhance flood risk mitigation strategies, this study presents t…
Contribution of John Daniel Gross to American Geography
Early geography in the United States has a rich history, though not always understood or acknowledged. One American geographer in the pre-Humboldt era who has been largely overlooked is Columbia University’s John Daniel Gross, who has been described as “arguably the first American professional geographer.” The purpose of this research is to shed more light on this eighteenth-century geographer. Evidence suggests that, unlike some other prominent …
Atmospheric circulation regimes for prescribed burns along the U.S. Gulf of Mexico coast
The regional-to-synoptic-scale steering atmospheric circulation is important for advecting energy, mass, and momentum across space, with the near-surface wind being the local manifestation of this circulation. The local winds can affect phenomena of economic, ecological, and/or aesthetic values, such as bird migrations and prescribed burns to restore bird habitats. The purpose of this research is to classify the days from 1979 to 2018 based on ci…

Benefit-cost analysis of flood-mitigated residential buildings in Louisiana
Benefit-cost analysis (BCA) is a computational tool that can help to determine the economic benefits of mitigation. Many factors required to be considered in BCA but the lack of information on these factors holds decision-makers to correctly understand the economic benefits of mitigation. This study aims to improve the understanding of the economic benefits of flood mitigation efforts in Louisiana between 2005 and 2015. The mitigation projects we…
Hurricane Preparedness among University Residential Housing Assistants and Staff
While much research has been invested in understanding preparedness among emergency managers during natural disasters, substantially less attention has been devoted to evaluating the level of understanding and preparedness among nonemergency management employees who must direct others during natural disasters. Among those second-tier leaders are university residential housing staff, who are responsible for the safety of thousands of youth who may…
Community Resilience to Drought Hazard in the South-Central United States
Drought is a hazard that inflicts costly damage to agricultural, hydrologic, and ecological systems and affects human health and prosperity. A comprehensive assessment of resilience to the drought hazard in various communities and an identification of the main variables that affect resilience is crucial to coping with the hazard and promoting resilience. This study assessed the community resilience to drought hazards of all 503 counties of Arkans…
The Legacy of Jedidiah Morse in Early American Geography Education
Despite numerous and significant writings by historians of geography and biographers from other disciplines, and his authorship of the first geography textbooks written in and for the new American republic, most geographers are largely unaware of the contributions of Jedidiah Morse in academic geography. Writings about Morse suggest that he had alienated himself from many of his contemporaries early in his career through his authoritarian brand o…
An Empirical Study of the Potential for Geography in University Living–learning Communities in the United States
Living-learning communities (LLCs) have become an important part of the educational experience for many first-year university students. As academic units seek new ways to reach undergraduate students, partnering with an LLC is often an effective solution. This article explores a largely untapped link between LLCs and geography. An inventory of LLCs at USA universities with PhD-granting geography departments and a series of case studies collective…
