  • Exploring Changes in Foodscapes in Western Province, Solomon Islands

    Open AccessJ Mccarter, Georgina Cullman et al.ARTICLEHuman Ecology2023

  • Evaluating the effect of data-richness and model complexity in the prediction of coastal sediment loading in Solomon Islands

    Open AccessNicholas Hutley, Mandus Boselalu et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Global biophysical data are increasingly accessible due to improvements in remote sensing and open datasets. These datasets can be of particular value in remote and data-poor environments to enable estimates of water quality impacts from catchment land clearing. Given the resources required to collect field observations and calibrate detailed process-based models, global datasets are often the only sources available to parameterise simple models …

  • Creating a space for place and multidimensional well-being

    Open AccessEleanor J Sterling, Puaʻala Pascua et al.ARTICLESustainability Science2020Cited by: 16References: 20

    Achieving sustainable development globally requires multilevel and interdisciplinary efforts and perspectives. Global goals shape priorities and actions at multiple scales, creating cascading impacts realized at the local level through the direction of financial resources and implementation of programs intended to achieve progress towards these metrics. We explore ways to localize global goals to best support human well-being and environmental he…

  • Local adaptation responses to coastal hazards in small island communities

  • Predicting the impact of logging activities on soil erosion and water quality in steep, forested tropical islands

    Open AccessAmelia S Wenger, Scott Atkinson et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    Increasing development in tropical regions provides new economic opportunities that can improve livelihoods, but it threatens the functional integrity and ecosystem services provided by terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems when conducted unsustainably. Given the small size of many islands, communities may have limited opportunities to replace loss and damage to the natural resources upon which they depend for ecosystem service provisioning, thus he…

  • Community-based Conservation of Leatherback Turtles in Solomon Islands

    Open AccessSimon Albert, Nixon Jino et al.ARTICLEConservation and Society2018

    The population of Leatherback Sea Turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) in the western Pacific has experienced dramatic declines over the past two decades. The full extent of these declines and the current status of the western Pacific sub-population remains unclear due to the remote nature of these nesting beaches. Zaira, on the southern coast of Vangunu Island in the Western Province of Solomon Islands is a previously undocumented nesting ground for L…

  • Winners and losers as mangrove, coral and seagrass ecosystems respond to sea-level rise in Solomon Islands

    Open AccessSimon Albert, Megan I Saunders et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    A 2007 earthquake in the western Solomon Islands resulted in a localised subsidence event in which sea level (relative to the previous coastal settings) rose approximately 30–70 cm, providing insight into impacts of future rapid changes to sea level on coastal ecosystems. Here, we show that increasing sea level by 30–70 cm can have contrasting impacts on mangrove, seagrass and coral reef ecosystems. Coral reef habitats were the clear winners with…

  • Interactions between sea-level rise and wave exposure on reef island dynamics in the Solomon Islands

    Open AccessSimon Albert, Javier X Leon et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    Low-lying reef islands in the Solomon Islands provide a valuable window into the future impacts of global sea-level rise. Sea-level rise has been predicted to cause widespread erosion and inundation of low-lying atolls in the central Pacific. However, the limited research on reef islands in the western Pacific indicates the majority of shoreline changes and inundation to date result from extreme events, seawalls and inappropriate development rath…

  • Cost-Effective Methods for Accurate Determination of Sea Level Rise Vulnerability

    Simon Albert, Kirsten Abernethy et al.ARTICLEWeather, Climate, and Society2013

    For millions of people living along the coastal fringe, sea level rise is perhaps the greatest threat to livelihoods over the coming century. With the refinement and downscaling of global climate models and increasing availability of airborne-lidar-based inundation models, it is possible to predict and quantify these threats with reasonable accuracy where such information is available. For less developed countries, especially small island states,…
