View article: A Framework for Classifying and Assessing Sea Level Rise Risk
A Framework for Classifying and Assessing Sea Level Rise Risk Open
Population risk assessments of sea level rise are key to understanding the impacts of climate change on coastal communities and necessary for adaptation planning. Future sea level rise exposes coastal populations to a spectrum of risk, but…

Explaining differential vulnerability to climate change: A social science review Open
The varied effects of recent extreme weather events around the world exemplify the uneven impacts of climate change on populations, even within relatively small geographic regions. Differential human vulnerability to environmental hazards …

A Sharing Meanings Approach for Interdisciplinary Hazards Research Open
Hazards researchers frequently examine complex socio-environmental problems, a difficult undertaking which is further compounded by the challenge of navigating the many disciplinary approaches in the field. This paper draws on key insights…

No Landward Movement: Examining 80 years of population migration and shoreline change in Louisiana Open
Louisiana lost nearly 5,000 km2 of its coastal land area due to relative sea level rise (including local, regional, and global factors driving relative sea level change) since 1932, mirroring both the hazards associated with sea level rise…

Qualitative data sharing and re-use for socio-environmental systems research: A synthesis of opportunities, challenges, resources and approaches Open
Researchers in many disciplines, both social and natural sciences, have a long history of collecting and analyzing qualitative data to answer questions that have many dimensions, to interpret other research findings, and to characterize pr…

Racial coastal formation: The environmental injustice of colorblind adaptation planning for sea-level rise Open
The United States' deeply racialized history currently operates below the surface of contemporary apolitical narratives on vulnerability mitigation and adaptation to sea-level rise. As communities, regulatory agencies, and policy-makers pl…

Social vulnerability projections improve sea-level rise risk assessments Open
Rising seas will impact millions of coastal residents in coming decades. The vulnerability of coastal populations exposed to inundation will be greater for some sub-populations due to differences in their socio-demographic characteristics.…
