  • Hurricane Risk Perceptions and Evacuation Decision-Making in the Postvaccine Era of Covid-19 in U.S. Coastal States Impacted by North Atlantic Hurricanes

    Open AccessJennifer M Collins, Jennifer Collins et al.ARTICLEWeather, Climate, and Society2024

    During peak disease transmission in 2021, the compounding threat posed by the pandemic and hurricane season required coastal states to understand evacuation behaviors during a major hurricane to inform the planning process. While research relating to hurricane evacuation behavior and perceptions of risk has increased since the start of the pandemic, there is minimal understanding of how perceptions have changed now the COVID-19 vaccine is availab…

  • Regional geographies and public health lessons of the Covid-19 pandemic in the Arctic

    Open AccessSweta Tiwari, Andrey N Petrov et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    Objectives: This study examines the COVID-19 pandemic's spatiotemporal dynamics in 52 sub-regions in eight Arctic states. This study further investigates the potential impact of early vaccination coverage on subsequent COVID-19 outcomes within these regions, potentially revealing public health insights of global significance. Methods: We assessed the outcomes of the COVID-19 pandemic in Arctic sub-regions using three key epidemiological variables…

  • Incorporating resilience when assessing pandemic risk in the Arctic

    Open AccessSweta Tiwari, Andrey Petrov et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2023

    The discourse on vulnerability to COVID-19 or any other pandemic is about the susceptibility to the effects of disease outbreaks. Over time, vulnerability has been assessed through various indices calculated using a confluence of societal factors. However, categorising Arctic communities, without considering their socioeconomic, cultural and demographic uniqueness, into the high and low continuum of vulnerability using universal indicators will u…

  • Hurricanes Laura and Sally

    Jennifer M Collins, Jennifer Collins et al.ARTICLEWeather, Climate, and Society2022

    This study examines risk perceptions and evacuation planning for those residents affected by Hurricane Laura—the first major hurricane evacuation during the COVID-19 pandemic—and Hurricane Sally, prior to the widespread availability of vaccines. Research on hurricane evacuation behavior and risk perceptions during a pandemic is critical for quantifying the intersect of these compounding threats. Analyses captured how people perceive public shelte…

  • Revisiting the Medieval Black Death of 1347-1351

    Open AccessMark R Welford, Mark Welford et al.ARTICLEGeography Compass2010Cited by: 3References: 49

    Recent research points to multiple inconsistencies regarding modernYersinia pestis(in Bubonic, Pneumonic, or Septicemic Plague variants) as a causative agent for the Medieval Black Death (MBD). Published arguments at odds with aY. pestis-caused epidemic include differences in recorded periodicity, seasonal mortality peaks, relevant biogeographical details, genetic findings, and spatiotemporal dynamics, among other inconsistencies. Here, we descri…
