Narrative Horizons: Deliberate Derangement in Oceanic Climate Fiction
ABSTRACT Although we live in the Anthropocene—the geological age of humankind, wherein humans have measurably impacted the biosphere—we struggle to narrate the Anthropocene. In particular, we struggle to give narrative shape to its foremost feature: anthropogenic climate change.

Nest Counts of Kororā/Little Penguins on Horomaka/Banks Peninsula, New Zealand
To better understand the population trends of kororā/little penguins (Eudyptula minor), the Horomaka/Banks Peninsula Kororā Survey of nesting colonies was conducted across two consecutive breeding seasons (November–January 2020/2021 and 2021/2022). Due to the number of sites and time requirements, volunteers were recruited to search 89 breeding sites ...
