A topic model analysis of students' gendered expectations using surveyed critiques of lecturers
Student evaluations of teaching (SET) have been examined over the years to better understand the student experience, with an increasing portion of literature exploring the presence of implicit bias in SET surveys against minority gender and ethnic lecturers. This study explores free-text comments made by students from a large public university in Australia over the period 2010–2016, using a semi-supervised statistical approach. Data were collecte…
Marine spatial planning and ocean accounting: Synergistic tools enhancing integration in ocean governance
Conceptualising sustainability through environmental stewardship and virtuous cycles—a new empirically-grounded model
Humans depend on earth’s ecosystems and in the Anthropocene, ecosystems are increasingly impacted by human activities. Sustainability—the long-term integrity of social–ecological systems—depends on effective environmental stewardship, yet current conceptual frameworks often lack empirical validation and are limited in their ability to show progress towards sustainability goals. In this study we examine institutional and local stewardship actions …
Impacts of California’s climate-relevant land use policy scenarios on terrestrial carbon emissions (CO 2 and CH 4 ) and wildfire risk
Land-use and -cover change (LUCC) is globally important to climate change mitigation. However, using land-based strategies to support aggressive subnational greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets is challenging due to competing land use priorities and uncertainty in ecosystem carbon dynamics and climate change effects. We used the California natural and working lands carbon and greenhouse gas model to quantify the direct ecosystem carbon emis…
Current and projected global extent of marine built structures
The sprawl of marine construction is one of the most extreme human modifications to global seascapes. Nevertheless, its global extent remains largely unquantified compared to that on land. We synthesized disparate information from a diversity of sources to provide a global assessment of the extent of existing and projected marine construction and its effects on the seascape. Here we estimated that the physical footprint of built structures was at…
Gender and cultural bias in student evaluations: Why representation matters
Gendered and racial inequalities persist in even the most progressive of workplaces. There is increasing evidence to suggest that all aspects of employment, from hiring to performance evaluation to promotion, are affected by gender and cultural background. In higher education, bias in performance evaluation has been posited as one of the reasons why few women make it to the upper echelons of the academic hierarchy. With unprecedented access to in…
Functional and structural responses to marine urbanisation
Urban areas have broad ecological footprints with complex impacts on natural systems. In coastal \nareas, growing populations are advancing their urban footprint into the ocean through the \nconstruction of seawalls and other built infrastructure.While we have some understanding of how \nurbanisation might drive functional change in terrestrial ecosystems, coastal systems have been largely \noverlooked. This study is one of the first to directly …
