Visualizing seascapes as a method for engaging stakeholders in discussions about resilience
Coastal communities have complex bodies of knowledge around environmental change, resilience, and sustainability, which extractive forms of research are not well suited to understand. This paper outlines an arts-based action research pilot project to understand social-ecological resilience in the Western Indian Ocean. Our project used visual, artistic, and participatory approaches to foster co-learning and action research on: (1) the arts-based m…
Wildfire Smoke Exposure During Pregnancy
Relative to other Oregon counties, Klamath County experiences worse air quality due to wildfire smoke, as well as elevated rates of infant mortality and low birthweight. Klamath County Public Health (KCPH) raised concerns that wildfire smoke is a contributor to poor infant health. Thus, we built a multidisciplinary team and designed a community-engaged research (CEnR) project to capture community and individual-level exposure to wildfire smoke co…
Building resilience in practice to support coral communities in the Western Indian Ocean
Global environmental change and other site specific pressures (e.g. over fishing and pollution) are threating coral reefs and the livelihoods of dependent coastal communities. Multiple strategies are used to build the resilience of both coral reefs and reef dependent communities but the effectiveness of these strategies is largely unknown. Using the Western Indian Ocean (WIO) as a case study, this paper combines published literature and expert op…
Sustainability of High Arctic Ponds in a Polar Desert Environment
Arctic wetland environments are sensitive to ongoing climate change as seen by the recent loss of lakes and ponds in southern Alaska, Siberia, and northern Ellesmere Island, Canada. A clearer picture of the mechanisms accounting for these losses or the persistence of ponds is presently required. To better understand and quantify the hydrologic processes that are leading to the sustainability or demise of High Arctic ponds, a detailed study was co…
Assessment of Three Mapping Techniques to Delineate Lakes and Ponds in a Canadian High Arctic Wetland Complex
Recent evidence points to warmer and wetter conditions for Arctic regions. It is not clear how High Arctic environments, in particular extensive wetlands, will respond to these rapid changes. Sustainability studies of wetland complexes will require accurate mapping of water bodies (lakes, ponds, streams) over time. This information is critical to obtain reliable estimates of water inputs (e.g., snowmelt), outputs (e.g., evaporation), and storage,…
Trade-off analysis for marine protected area management
Summer Solar Radiation in the Canadian High Arctic
The limited number of weather stations in the Canadian Arctic Islands has prevented the mapping of incoming shortwave radiation. A cloud layer model, using cloud observations reported by summer field camps supported by the Polar Continental Shelf Project, allows the computation of solar radiation for these widely scattered arctic sites. The calculated values were combined with the measured data from the weather stations to examine the temporal an…
