Modeling NFIP-insured housing losses from Texas and Florida flood disasters: A comparative analysis of hurricane Harvey, the 2016 tax day flood, and hurricane Irma
Reliable flood loss models can support rapid mitigation and recovery decisions, but their value depends on whether relationships learned from one disaster are useful in another. We evaluate tract-level National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)-insured housing losses across 6065 census tracts affected by the 2016 Tax Day Flood, Hurricane Harvey, and Hurricane Irma. Mean normalized loss ratio (Mean_NLR) and the probability of observed NFIP-insured lo…

Does Arctic governance hold the key to achieving climate policy targets
Arctic feedbacks are increasingly viewed as the wild card in the climate system; but their most unpredictable and potentially dangerous aspect may lie in the human, rather than the physical, response to a warming climate. If Arctic policy is driven by agendas based on domestic resource development, the ensuing oil and gas extraction will ensure the failure of the Paris Agreement. If Arctic energy policy can be framed by the Arctic Council, howeve…
What surprises lurk within the climate system
Suburban watershed nitrogen retention: Estimating the effectiveness of stormwater management structures
Excess nitrogen (N) is a primary driver of freshwater and coastal eutrophication globally, and urban stormwater is a rapidly growing source of N pollution. Stormwater best management practices (BMPs) are used widely to remove excess N from runoff in urban and suburban areas, and are expected to perform under a wide variety of environmental conditions. Yet the capacity of BMPs to retain excess N varies; and both the variation and the drivers there…
A Kaleidoscope of Understanding: Comparing Real with Random Data, Using Binary-Choice Items, to Study Preservice Elementary Teachers’ Knowledge of Climate Change
The authors used a 59-item survey to probe the understanding of climate change by 89 Ontario preservice teachers. The study investigated the usefulness of comparing real survey data from closed, binary choice items, with randomly generated data. Climate change was chosen to be the topic because it is a new emphasis in K–12 science curricula. If teachers had answered the survey randomly, according to Monte Carlo simulations, a normal distribution …
Global Pyrogeography: The Current and Future Distribution of Wildfire
Climate change is expected to alter the geographic distribution of wildfire, a complex abiotic process that responds to a variety of spatial and environmental gradients. How future climate change may alter global wildfire activity, however, is still largely unknown. As a first step to quantifying potential change in global wildfire, we present a multivariate quantification of environmental drivers for the observed, current distribution of vegetat…
