Social vulnerability and climate change adaptation: The critical importance of moving beyond technocratic policy approaches
Download2021-10-01
Kehler, Sarah, Birchall, S. Jeff
Planning policy can play a key role in effective, equitable climate change adaptation; however, its capacity remains undermined by technocratic approaches reliant on hard measures, discounting significant research on addressing sources of social vulnerability for successful adaptation policy. Not...

Spatial variations in the stoichiometry and geochemistry of Miocene dolomite from Grand Cayman: Implications for the origin of island dolostone.
Download2016-01-01
The Cayman Formation (Miocene), ~ 140 m thick on Grand Cayman, is incompletely dolomitized with the most of the dolomite restricted to the peripheral part of the island. These calcium-rich dolomites, with 50–60 mol%CaCO3 (%Ca), are divided into low-calcium dolomite (LCD, %Ca < 55%) and...

Stability of the Mediterranean's thermohaline circulation under modified surface evaporative fluxes
Download2002
A series of experiments with an ocean general circulation model of the Mediterranean forced by artificial (but realistic) surface fluxes of heat and fresh water is performed over 100 year periods. The model has a stable thermohaline circulation under the baseline fluxes. Small increases/decreases...

Stromatoporoid growth forms and Devonian reef fabrics in the Upper Devonian Alexandra Reef System, Canada – Insight on the challenges of applying Devonian reef models.
Download2016-01-01
Existing facies models for Devonian reef systems can be divided into high‐energy and low‐energy types. A number of assumptions have been made in the development of these models and, in some cases, criteria that distinguish important aspects of the models are poorly defined. The Upper Devonian...

Structural challenges that contributed to the decline of the Communities for Climate Protection program
Download2014
In 2004 New Zealand’s (NZ) Labour-led government launched the Communities for Climate Protection - NZ (CCP-NZ) programme. Following a shift in Government leadership in 2008, from Clark’s Labour-led to Key’s National-led government, the CCP-NZ programme was discontinued. Through the narratives of...

Student Report No. 3: The Vulnerability of Newcomers (Including Refugees) in the Canadian Housing Sector
Download2021-09-01
Although the NHS has identified 12 vulnerable groups, it does not explain why individuals are vulnerable within the Canadian housing sector. The purpose of this report is to dissect the housing vulnerabilities that newcomers face when arriving in Canada.
