Islandness: Vulnerability and resilience in Oceania [PDF]

, 2009
Pacific and other islands have long been represented as sites of vulnerability. Despite this, communities on many Pacific islands survived for millennia prior to the intrusion of people from Europe into their realm. An examination of traditional disaster

Climate justice and curriculum justice: Young people's accounts of schools' uneven responses to their climate justice activism

The Curriculum Journal, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 140-163, March 2026.
Abstract The uneven ways in which climate change is taught (or not) within schools, and the uneven opportunities for students to experience justice‐oriented climate education, are curricular injustices. Recent systematic reviews of Climate Change Education literature note a depoliticising tendency in climate change education, with official curriculum ...

How well can global ensemble forecasts predict tropical cyclones in the southwest Indian Ocean?

Meteorological Applications
The southwest Indian Ocean (SWIO) recently experienced its most active, costliest and deadliest cyclone season on record (2018–2019). The anticipation and forecasting of natural hazards, such as tropical cyclones, are crucial to preparing for their ...

Topical cyclone rainfall characteristics as determined from a satellite passive microwave radiometer [PDF]

Data from the Nimbus-5 Electrically Scanning Microwave Radiometer (ESMR-5) were used to calculate latent heat release and other rainfall parameters for over 70 satellite observations of 21 tropical cyclones in the tropical North Pacific Ocean.

Cyclone‐induced mixing and stratification shape autumnal hypoxia in a temperate estuary

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 2, March 2026.
Abstract Autumnal hypoxia in temperate estuaries is often overlooked due to its smaller extent, weaker intensity, and sparse observations compared to summer. However, climate variability may alter its seasonality. Using 40 yr (1984–2023) of hypoxic volume data from the Chesapeake Bay, combined with numerical simulations, we examined interannual drivers

Teaching Reading as a Complex and Multidimensional Process

The Reading Teacher, Volume 79, Issue 5, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT This article examines the teaching of reading as a complex and multidimensional process amidst current approaches to teaching reading forwarded by new legislation and curricula that have been adopted across the United States. We underscore the importance of a comprehensive understanding of the teaching of early reading by bringing together ...

Wind forecast and prior community experience are associated with high preparedness for sequential tropical cyclones in the United States

Communications Earth & Environment
Sequential tropical cyclone events, in which two tropical cyclones make landfall in the same region within a short time, are becoming increasingly likely. Here we investigate community preparedness for six sequential tropical cyclone events in the United
