STRATIFIED ADAPTATION: Infrastructure, Elevation, and Cascading Floods in the Urban Mekong Delta

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Flood‐prone cities in the global South are increasingly the target of infrastructure projects aimed at building climate ‘resilience’. At the same time, residents of these cities take adaptation to flooding into their own hands.

Modelling Patterns of Past Inundation Processes Combining Geoarchaeology and Morphometric Hydrological Analysis in the Shashe‐Limpopo Basin, South Africa

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Riverine and valley systems across the globe have been central to the development of past urban centres. By AD 900, the Shashe and Limpopo Rivers seem to have facilitated the interaction and integration of early farming communities in southern Africa. This paper focuses on the application of geoarchaeological perspectives made available by the

Marine heatwave forecast triggers rapid response strategy for critically endangered red handfish

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We demonstrate the value of proactive conservation in responding to climate extremes through Australia's first pre‐emptive rescue of a protected marine fish species, the Critically Endangered red handfish. Ahead of the 2023/2024 El Niño event, marine heatwave forecasts prompted the temporary removal of 25 red handfish from the wild.
