Relational sampling fills critical knowledge gaps in benthic ecosystem characteristics in Nunatsiavut, Canada
Northern coastlines face increasing challenges in marine conservation as climate change, shifting ocean currents, and human activities place pressure on sensitive benthic ecosystems. Nunatsiavut, a sovereign Inuit region in Labrador, Canada, has over 17,000 km of coastline made up of dynamic landscapes featuring high marine biodiversity. There, swift currents, restrictive weather, a prolonged sea ice season, and uncharted seafloors make benthic s…
Good data relations key to Indigenous research sovereignty
Although researchers are committed to Indigenous data sovereignty in principle, they fall short in returning data and results to communities in which or with whom they conduct their research. This results in a misalignment in benefits of research toward researchers and settler institutions and away from Indigenous communities. To explore this, we conducted a case study analyzing the rate researchers returned data to Nunatsiavut, an autonomous are…
Perceptions of Hurricane-Track Forecasts in the United States
Hurricanes Isaac (2012), Harvey (2017), and Irma (2017) were storms with different geophysical characteristics and track forecast consistencies. Despite the differences, common themes emerged from the perception of track forecasts from evacuees for each storm. Surveys with a mixture of closed and open-ended responses were conducted during the evacuations of each storm while the storm characteristics and decision-making were fresh in the minds of …
The Effects of Social Connections on Evacuation Decision Making during Hurricane Irma
This study investigates the influence of individuals’ social connections in their decision to either evacuate or not evacuate in the days preceding the landfall of Hurricane Irma. Using Hurricane Irma in September 2017 as a case study, a survey was conducted on two groups (those who evacuated and those who did not evacuate) to assess people’s social connections specifically examining three dimensions: dependability, density, and diversity. These …
