Rethinking nature-based solutions in informal settlements
Exposure to climate extremes, lack of financial resources and robust infrastructure, and limited institutional support make informal settlements particularly vulnerable to environmental stressors. Nature-based solutions (NbS) can be a viable avenue to increase climate resilience; however, the majority of NbS research at scale comes from urban areas with established gray infrastructure (i.e. sewage, stormwater drainage, roads). Current NbS impleme…

Global environmental change policy priorities from the Americas and opportunities to bridge the science-policy gap
Governments and intergovernmental organizations support scientific research to produce the knowledge and tools needed to monitor and mitigate global environmental changes (GEC). However, GEC-related policy decisions are often not based on scientific evidence, and GEC research is often not based on policy-relevant questions, resulting in a science-policy gap. Assessing the GEC policy priorities of researchers and policymakers is an essential step …
Socio-Ecological Factors Associated with Dengue Risk and Aedes aegypti Presence in the Galápagos Islands, Ecuador
Dengue fever is an emerging infectious disease in the Galápagos Islands of Ecuador, with the first cases reported in 2002 and subsequent periodic outbreaks. We report results of a 2014 pilot study conducted in Puerto Ayora (PA) on Santa Cruz Island, and Puerto Baquerizo Moreno (PB) on San Cristobal Island. To assess the socio-ecological risk factors associated with dengue and mosquito vector presence at the household level, we conducted 100 house…
The Social and Spatial Ecology of Dengue Presence and Burden during an Outbreak in Guayaquil, Ecuador, 2012
Dengue fever, a mosquito-borne arbovirus, is a major public health concern in Ecuador. In this study, we aimed to describe the spatial distribution of dengue risk and identify local social-ecological factors associated with an outbreak of dengue fever in the city of Guayaquil, Ecuador. We examined georeferenced dengue cases ( n = 4248) and block-level census data variables to identify social-ecological risk factors associated with the presence/ab…
The Carbon Holdings of Northern Ecuador's Mangrove Forests
Within a GIS environment, we combine field measures of mangrove diameter,\nmangrove species distribution, and mangrove density with remotely sensed\nmeasures of mangrove location and mangrove canopy cover to estimate the\nmangrove carbon holdings of northern Ecuador. We find that the four northern\nestuaries of Ecuador contain approximately 7,742,999 t (plus or minus 15.47\npercent) of standing carbon. Of particular high carbon holdings are the\n…
