Enhancing expert elicitation techniques through participatory mapping
State of the Marine Environment (SoME) reporting provides an effective mechanism for countries to collate available evidence to highlight pressures and identify indicators of current and changing conditions in marine environments. Expert elicitation (EE) (or expert knowledge elicitation) techniques have been used to ensure a consultative and comprehensive process for achieving these broad seascape assessments, especially in data‐poor environments…
The ‘More Than Maps’ framework for building research capacity among young people in coastal climate change adaptation
When young people engage with climate change education, they are often left feeling disempowered and daunted. But past research has shown that there are ways to design and deliver climate change education that can be empowering and enabling. The delivery of climate change education was further challenged in 2020 by the shift to online learning driven by the COVID‐19 pandemic restrictions. However, the challenges of the pandemic context also offer…
Stability of coral reef islands and associated legal maritime zones in a changing ocean
Coral reef islands can support large legal maritime zones (i.e. ocean spaces where States have rights and responsibilities) and are of international and geopolitical importance. This review focuses on low-lying coral reef islands supplied with sediments derived from skeletons and shells of calcifying organisms. For coral islands, the outer ‘low-water line’ of the reef can be used as the legal ‘baseline’ to establish maritime zones. Coral islands …
Decision‐makers use social information to update their preferences but choose for others as they do for themselves
People's risky decisions are susceptible to the social context in which they take place. Across three experiments using different paradigms, we investigated the influence of three social factors upon participants' decisions: the recipient of the decision‐making outcome (self, other, or joint), the nature of the relationship with the other agent (friend, stranger, or teammate), and the type of information that participants received about others' p…
Assessing potential environmental influences on killer whale ( Orcinus orca ) distribution patterns in the Bremer Canyon, south-west Australia
Submarine canyons play an important role in the regional distribution, abundance and dispersal of marine biota and are increasingly being recognised as geomorphic features of high conservation significance along Australia’s continental margin. Certain canyons have been described as foraging ‘hotspots’ attributable to the high abundance of apex cetacean species aggregating in these areas. Anecdotal evidence of large seasonal aggregations of killer…
A Review of Volunteered Geographic Information for Disaster Management
The immediacy of locational information requirements and importance of data currency for natural disaster events highlights the value of volunteered geographic information (VGI) in all stages of disaster management, including prevention, preparation, response, and recovery. The practice of private citizens generating online geospatial data presents new opportunities for the creation and dissemination of disaster‐related geographic data from a den…
Sustainable development and the water–energy–food nexus
The water–energy–food nexus is being promoted as a conceptual tool for achieving sustainable development. Frameworks for implementing nexus thinking, however, have failed to explicitly or adequately incorporate sustainable livelihoods perspectives. This is counterintuitive given that livelihoods are key to achieving sustainable development. In this paper we present a critical review of nexus approaches and identify potential linkages with sustain…
Thematic accuracy assessment of acoustic seabed data for shallow benthic habitat mapping
A single beam acoustic ground discrimination system (AGDS) was used to survey 1.25 km2 of shallow (< 20 m depth) seabed on the northeast coast of Tasmania, Australia. This paper investigates the uncertainties associated with the qualitative interpretation of real time and post‐processed acoustic signal, and the effect of track spacing on the mapping of rocky reef distribution. The survey was repeated with different track spacing (50 m, 100 m, 200…
Living with heritage
World Heritage conservation in developing countries is challenged by conflicting demands of preservation, economic development and social equity. Managing these demands requires monitoring of the dynamic interaction between cultural heritage, natural environment and contemporary society. Collaboration between research, management and governance is therefore necessary if we are to reconcile the competing demands of living with heritage. The Angkor…
