Female hurricanes are deadlier than male hurricanes [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014 Significance Meteorologists and geoscientists have called for greater consideration of social science factors that predict responses to natural hazards. We answer this call by highlighting the influence of an unexplored social factor, gender-based expectations, on the human toll of hurricanes that are assigned gendered names.

Mangroves protect coastal economic activity from hurricanes
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019 Significance The increasing losses from tropical cyclones in developing countries highlight the importance of understanding how natural habitats can be used to protect assets and economic activity against this hazard.

Hurricane-induced demographic changes in a non-human primate population [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 Major disturbance events can have large impacts on the demography and dynamics of animal populations. Hurricanes are one example of an extreme climatic event, predicted to increase in frequency due to climate change, and thus expected to be a ...

Three decades of degradation lead to diminished impacts of severe hurricanes on Caribbean reefs.
Ecology, 2019 Major tropical storms are destructive phenomena with large effects on the community dynamics of multiple biomes. On coral reefs, their impacts have been described for decades, leading to the expectation that future storms should have effects similar to ...
