However the growth may look much greater , because the LICs had so little food being produced in 2000, population growth also means that there is a high demand for more food and greater food supplies within Lics.Hics are beginning to see the impact of high calorie production and ...
However, the impact of sediment supply on island morphodynamics has not been addressed and remains poorly understood. Here we present evidence from the first physical modelling experiments to explore the effect of storm-derived sediment supply on the geomorphic response of islands to changes in sea ...

The Driver–Pressure–State–Impact–Response (DPSIR) framework has been used by environmental agencies and others to assess environmental challenges and policy responses. However, in doing so, social justice or equity issues tend to come as an afterthought, while there is evidence that environmental...
