Spatially interactive modeling of land change identifies location-specific adaptations most likely to lower future flood risk Open
Impacts of sea level rise will last for centuries; therefore, flood risk modeling must transition from identifying risky locations to assessing how populations can best cope. We present the first spatially interactive (i.e., what happens a…

Tourist Perceptions of Climate Change Impacts on Mountain Ecotourism in Southern Mexico Open
Climate change impacts on tourism are well documented, with most studies focusing on challenges facing ski or beach tourism. While non-ski, mountain tourism accounts for almost one fifth of tourism worldwide, there is a dearth of research …
