Regional Sustainable Economic Development in the Caribbean? A Discursive Inquiry

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Caribbean region is governed by several regional bodies. Among the more important organizations for small island states, where coral reefs and ocean conservation are paramount, is the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). Currently, the region is going through critical environmental changes that bring important vulnerabilities.

Influence of natural fibers on physical, mechanical, and fire‐resistant properties of microconcrete

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examined the influence of natural fibers on the physical, mechanical, and fire‐resistant properties of microconcrete, in comparison with conventional polypropylene fibers used in cement composites. The fibers were characterized by FTIR and TGA/DSC to assess their composition and thermal stability, and FTIR was also performed after ...

Sargassum Lung Syndrome: Air Flow Obstruction and Bronchial Inflammation Are Observed After Prolonged Exposure to Sargassum Gas Emissions in the Eastern Caribbean

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sargassum inundation of Caribbean and American shorelines is a growing environmental hazard. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) produced by decomposing Sargassum could be involved in airway obstruction and bronchial inflammation. The study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of exposure to H2S and NH3 gases emitted during Sargassum ...

Soft cliff retreat adjacent to coastal defences, with particular reference to Holderness and Christchurch Bay, UK [PDF]

, 2008
Coastal defences reduce sediment input and modify the sediment budget, usually resulting in a sediment deficit down-drift and an accumulation up-drift. This process results in set-back adjacent to defences.

Assessing multi-decadal shoreline change and future sea level projections to support coastal adaptation in Selangor, Malaysia

Frontiers in Marine Science
Coastal zones are increasingly exposed to climate change and rapid urbanization, yet the geomorphological stability of tropical, mud-dominated coastlines remains poorly understood.

Influence of the Spatial Resolution of Remote Sensing Images on Shoreline Spatio-temporal Variations Analysis: A case of Bohai Bay, China

Haiyang Kaifa yu guanli, 2023
The traditional medium-resolution satellite images cannot meet the need of small-scale shoreline variation monitoring. In addition, researches on the influences in spatial resolution on monitoring different types of shoreline changes are rarely found and

‘Using anuran community diversity and Pseudacris crucifer to predict landscape quality across a land use gradient'

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
As human‐modified landscape and climate changes proliferate, maintaining biodiversity and understanding the function and quality of available habitat is imperative. As anurans (frogs/toads) such as Pseudacris crucifer, can be an indicator species of habitat quality and ecosystem productivity, studying the anuran community in a mixed‐land use region ...

Shoreline Behavior at California Groin Fields from Satellite-Based Measurements

Remote Sensing
Satellite imagery has helped to provide decades of shoreline change data to coastal regions all over the world. Although shorelines around the globe have been armored with different types of coastal structures to try and protect beaches and properties ...

Improving manual tagging of camera trap videos for wildlife studies: a visual assistance tool applied to the endangered huillin Lontra provocax

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
In the last decades, the use of camera traps for wildlife studies has increased significantly due to advancements in technology leading to cost reduction and improved reliability. They facilitate the study of wild animals in their natural environment in a minimally invasive manner, eliminating the need for researchers to remain in the field for long ...
