The impacts of tidal wetland loss and coastal development on storm surge damages to people and property: a Hurricane Ike case-study. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2023 Coastal wetlands protect communities during hurricanes by reducing storm surge flooding and damages. Previous studies have quantified surge reduction benefits of wetlands, but there is less understanding of how the combination of wetland loss and coastal

A global map of human pressures on tropical coral reefs
Conservation Letters, 2022 As human activities on the world's oceans intensify, mapping human pressure is essential to develop appropriate conservation strategies and prioritize investments with limited resources. Here, we map six human (nonclimatic) pressures on coral reefs using
