  • Last-Millennium Settlement on Yadua Island, Fiji

    Piérick C M Martin, Patrick Nunn et al.ARTICLEAsian perspectives2019

    A 50-70 cm sea-level fall around a.d. 1300 may have led to a prolonged food crisis which caused conflict among coastal dwellers on high Pacific islands. The conflict may have necessitated abandoning difficult to defend coastal settlements and establishing ones in fortifiable locations inland. To test this idea, abandoned hillforts (koronivalu) on 20 km2 Yadua Island were studied. Yadua Island is 20 km off the western extremity of Vanua Levu Islan…

  • Winners and losers as mangrove, coral and seagrass ecosystems respond to sea-level rise in Solomon Islands

    Open AccessSimon Albert, Megan I Saunders et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    A 2007 earthquake in the western Solomon Islands resulted in a localised subsidence event in which sea level (relative to the previous coastal settings) rose approximately 30–70 cm, providing insight into impacts of future rapid changes to sea level on coastal ecosystems. Here, we show that increasing sea level by 30–70 cm can have contrasting impacts on mangrove, seagrass and coral reef ecosystems. Coral reef habitats were the clear winners with…

  • Interactions between sea-level rise and wave exposure on reef island dynamics in the Solomon Islands

    Open AccessSimon Albert, Javier X Leon et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    Low-lying reef islands in the Solomon Islands provide a valuable window into the future impacts of global sea-level rise. Sea-level rise has been predicted to cause widespread erosion and inundation of low-lying atolls in the central Pacific. However, the limited research on reef islands in the western Pacific indicates the majority of shoreline changes and inundation to date result from extreme events, seawalls and inappropriate development rath…

  • Maps, laws and planning policy

    Open AccessJustine Bell‐jame, Justine Bell et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2014Citada por: 7Referências: 12

    Rapid sea level rise over the 21st century threatens coastal settlements and populations worldwide. Significant land-use policy reform will be needed to mitigate exposure to hazards in the coastal zone. Sea-level rise maps that indicate areas that are potentially prone to future inundation are a valuable tool for policymakers and decision makers. However, errors, assumptions, and uncertainties inherent in spatial data are not often explicitly rec…
