  • Using human health disparities and salmon health to guide spatial prioritization of green stormwater infrastructure

    Open AccessEricka E Hegeman, Phillip S LevinARTICLELandscape and Urban Planning2023

  • Mental Models for Assessing Impacts of Stormwater on Urban Social–Ecological Systems

    Open AccessCaitlyn B O’Connor, Phillip S LevinARTICLEUrban Science2023Cited by: 1References: 8

    Managing social–ecological systems that benefit both humans and nature is the central challenge of natural resource management. Integrating multiple perspectives into decision-making adds flexibility to social–ecological systems by reducing rigidity and promoting adaptability. Our objective was to assess expert perceptions of the structure, content, and function of the Puget Sound stormwater social–ecological system. We interviewed Puget Sound st…

  • Principles for transformative ocean governance

    Open AccessAmanda T Lombard, Jai Kumar Clifford-Holmes et al.ARTICLENature Sustainability2023Cited by: 1References: 8

    With a focus on oceans, we collaborated across ecological, social and legal disciplines to respond to the United Nations call for transformation in the ‘2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development’. We developed a set of 13 principles that strategically and critically connect transformative ocean research to transformative ocean governance (complementing the UN Decade for Ocean Science). We used a rigorous, iterative and transparent consensus-buildin…

  • Commercial fisher perceptions illuminate a need for social justice considerations in navigating climate change impacts on fisheries systems

    Open AccessSarah Harper, Sarah J Harper et al.ARTICLEConservation Ecology2023

    Climate change will amplify stress on marine systems already challenged by conflicts and inequities relating to fisheries access, management decisions, and ocean uses across sectors. Understanding how those most connected to fisheries perceive the risks associated with climate change is critical to developing effective responses and establishing management priorities. Adaptation planning efforts may be hindered by perceptions of unequal or unfair…

  • Fine-scale assessment of inequities in inland flood vulnerability

    Open AccessMathis Messager, Ailene K Ettinger et al.ARTICLEApplied Geography2021

    Every year, river floods disrupt millions of lives across the world, impacting individual livelihoods and testing the resilience of entire communities, with ripple effects through national economies. Not all households and communities are equally threatened by floods, but disparities in flood vulnerability within and between communities remain poorly quantified owing to coarse census data and inconsistency in official flood hazard maps. Here we a…

  • Nature and mental health

    Open AccessGregory N Bratman, Christopher B Anderson et al.ARTICLEScience Advances2019

    We provide consensus on the benefits of nature experience for mental health, and a model for integrating them into urban design.

  • Aligning evidence generation and use across health, development, and environment

    Open AccessHeather Tallis, Katharine Kreis et al.ARTICLECurrent Opinion in Environmental…2019References: 6

    Although health, development, and environment challenges are interconnected, evidence remains fractured across sectors due to methodological and conceptual differences in research and practice. Aligned methods are needed to support Sustainable Development Goal advances and similar agendas. The Bridge Collaborative, an emergent research-practice collaboration, presents principles and recommendations that help harmonize methods for evidence generat…

  • The unequal vulnerability of communities of color to wildfire

    Open AccessIan Davies, Ryan D Haugo et al.ARTICLEPLoS ONE2018

    Globally, environmental disasters impact billions of people and cost trillions of dollars in damage, and their impacts are often felt most acutely by minority and poor communities. Wildfires in the U.S. have similarly outsized impacts on vulnerable communities, though the ethnic and geographic distribution of those communities may be different than for other hazards. Here, we develop a social-ecological approach for characterizing fire vulnerabil…

  • Linking knowledge to action in ocean ecosystem management

    Open AccessTessa B Francis, Phillip S Levin et al.ARTICLEElementa Science of the…2018

    The sustainable use of global marine resources depends upon science-based decision processes and systems. Informing decisions with science is challenging for many reasons, including the nature of science and science-based institutions. The complexity of ecosystem-based management often requires the use of models, and model-based advice can be especially difficult to convert into policies or decisions. Here, we suggest five characteristics of mode…

  • Nature Contact and Human Health

    Open AccessHoward Frumkin, Gregory N Bratman et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Health Perspectives2017

    Background: At a time of increasing disconnectedness from nature, scientific interest in the potential health benefits of nature contact has grown. Research in recent decades has yielded substantial evidence, but large gaps remain in our understanding. Objectives: We propose a research agenda on nature contact and health, identifying principal domains of research and key questions that, if answered, would provide the basis for evidence-based publ…
