Climate change interacts with the sources and cycling of contaminants, such as radionuclides, in the environment. In this review, we discuss the implications of climate change impacts on existing and potential future sources of radionuclides associated w
Climate change poses a serious threat to Pacific island wildlife, such as on the Marshall Islands, pictured in March 2016 when the islands flooded, from storms Land mammals and reptiles in the Pacific islands facing extinction due to habitat loss, hunting and other threats could be decimated by...
Stresses associated with effects of climate change, including rise in relative mean sea level, present one set of threats to mangroves. Coastal development and ecosystems in the Pacific Islands region are particularly vulnerable to climate change effects. We investigated the capacity of Pacific Island ...
Pacific Small Island States (PSIS) are in the precarious position as some of the first jurisdictions to grapple with the current and forecasted effects of climate change, such as forced migrations and loss of culture. Yet, islanders' viewpoints are neither often fully understood nor heeded by tho...
