14-1). Even though there have been other hurricanes recorded as more powerful, the timing and location of landfall made Katrina more devastating than any previous storm. The measure of a storm’s intensity is based on how low the barometric pressure drops. Barometric pressure is the weight of...
TM ecosystems, including TMCF regions, are highly threatened byclimate change. This is due to a) steep environmental gradients that create geographically restricted habitat niches, b) reportedly narrowthermal tolerancesof tropical species, and c) the secondary effects of the increasing altitude of c...
Remaining tropical forest, both remnant primary forest and forest regrowth, is being found in ever smaller patches. With primary tropical forest quickly disappearing, we may soon find that the only forest-like land cover in the tropics is composed of a patchwork of secondary vegetation and old ...
Tropical cyclones are one of the most destructive natural hazards and much of the damage and casualties they cause are flood-related. Accurate characterization and prediction of total water levels during extreme storms is necessary to minimize coastal im
Analysis of 97 NATC landfalls revealed 891 immediate post-storm impacts on ecosystems, with particularly detrimental effects on mangrove forests. Specifically, NATCs reduced the performance of individual species. Additionally, they altered community structure and processes through impacts on foundation ...
The current restrictions on international travel will undoubtedly influence sex tourism patterns worldwide, leading to greater degrees of domestic child abuse and online sexual exploitation. Further research may shed a light on this and other COVID-related secondary effects on the sex tourism industry....
Tropical cyclone storm surge represents a significant threat to communities around the world. These surge characteristics vary spatially and temporally over a range of scales; therefore, conceptual frameworks for understanding and mitigating them must be cast within a context of risk that covers the com...
Tropical forest biodiversity is potentially at high risk from climate change, but most species reside within or below the canopy, where they are buffered from extreme temperatures. Here, by modelling the hourly below-canopy climate conditions of 300,000
Although we find a robust increase in TC rain rate with translation speed, the TC rainfall accumulation can still be larger for a slow-moving TC compared to a fast-moving TC if the rainfall contribution from the increased time of storm impact exceeds the decrease in average rainfall rate due...
