New insights into combined surfzone, embayment, and estuarine bathing hazards [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences
Rip currents are the single largest cause of beach safety incidents globally, but where an estuary mouth intersects a beach, additional flows are created that can exceed the speed of a typical rip current, significantly increasing the hazard level for ...

That sinkin’ feeling: Environmentally induced distress on a disappearing island

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Residents of Tangier Island, Virginia, a subsiding island in the Chesapeake Bay, embody psychosocial dimensions of environmental change. Analysis of ethnographic data shows islanders’ experiences and articulations of anxiety, panic, and despair as “that sinkin’ feeling,” resulting from the stress of living with the long‐term threat of imminent

Ozone Susceptibility of Tropical Tree Species

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tropical forests account for approximately 60% of global terrestrial photosynthesis, yet their function into the future may be compromised by rising ground‐level ozone (O3) pollution. Although O3 is known to impair plant productivity, the physiological mechanisms underlying interspecific variation in O3 susceptibility—especially among tropical

Field‐based evaluation of glass cullet as a supplementary sediment source for coastal restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
There is an ever‐increasing demand for sand to support projects like beach nourishment and dune restoration, but dredging and mining sand causes environmental damage. Demonstrating the environmental and ecological compatibility of crushed and ground glass known as cullet to support coastal restoration projects could simultaneously divert waste from ...

Beach oriented models for estimating bathing water quality

Ecological Informatics
Traditional monitoring of bathing water quality is based on the detection and enumeration of faecal indicator bacteria (FIB). The process is both time-consuming and costly and also provides information with a delay, limiting the ability to take timely action to protect public health.

Water, pipes and the cholera pathogen: The colonial politics of germs and water infrastructures in the Philippines

Singapore Journal of Tropical Geography, EarlyView.
This paper examines how the politics of water governance intersected with germ suppression during US colonial rule in the Philippines. Drawing on historical materials and policy documents, we critically trace two interrelated processes of hydroterritorialization through which cholera outbreaks in the early 1900s spurred the production of sanitary ...

Semi-empirical forecast modelling of rip-current and shore-break wave hazards [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences
Sandy beaches are highly attractive but also potentially dangerous environments for those entering the water as they can be exposed to physical hazards in the surf zone.

Presence of campylobacter and salmonella in sand from bathing beaches

Epidemiology and Infection, 1999
The purpose of this study was to determine the presence of thermophilic Campylobacter spp. and Salmonella spp. in sand from non-EEC standard and EEC standard designated beaches in different locations in the UK and to assess if potentially pathogenic strains were present. Campylobacter spp.

“That's Just How People Interact With Me on a Daily Basis”: Trans and Nonbinary Young People's Experiences of Sexual and Gender‐Based Violence

Journal of Community &Applied Social Psychology, Volume 36, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT This article presents findings from a UK‐based examination of personal experiences of sexual and gender‐based subjugation and violence, as narrated in interviews with trans and nonbinary people aged 18–25. Using a critical discursive approach that can account for how situated positionings and acts of violence are shaped by hegemonic discursive
