TAKEN BY STORM: HURRICANES, MIGRANT NETWORKS, AND U.S. IMMIGRATION.
How readily do potential migrants respond to increased returns to migration? Even if origin areas become less attractive vis-à-vis migration destinations, fixed costs can prevent increased migration.

Storms and Jobs: The Effect of Hurricanes on Individuals’ Employment and Earnings over the Long Term
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita devastated the US Gulf Coast in 2005. We use job-level data to compare the evolution of earnings for affected workers in four states with workers from matched control counties.

The resilience of coastal marshes to hurricanes: The potential impact of excess nutrients
Hurricanes pose an increasing threat to coastal environments as the intensity and severity of hurricanes are predicted to increase under the changing climate. Coastal wetlands are effective nature-based defenses of coastal cities against storms. However,

Hurricanes fertilize mangrove forests in the Gulf of Mexico (Florida Everglades, USA)
Significance Despite the destructive effect of hurricanes on mangrove forests in tropical and subtropical latitudes, hurricanes are major drivers controlling soil fertility gradients in the Florida Everglades mangroves, and therefore represent a positive

The initial conditions for hurricanes are difficult to improve due to the lack of inner-core observations over the ocean. An enhanced atmospheric motion vectors (AMVs) dataset from the Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS ...
