In this study, the authors use remotely sensed-based measures of waterholes with health survey data to investigate the linkages between child health outcomes related to food security.
The authors investigate relationships between disaster-level fire events and extreme heat on county-level migration in the USA using annual panel data for the years 1990–2015.
Focusing on water, the authors investigate the extent to which the spatial variation in the availability of water is linked with children’s malnutrition in the Sahel, using remotely sensed-based measures of waterholes with health survey data.
The objective of this study was to critically review relevant literature to assess the complex web of interrelations and feedbacks that affect the factors affecting food security.
This report provides a timely assessment of climate risks, environment–migration linkages and pertinent policies in Peru.
The article discusses the key results of a comprehensive report by a team of natural and social scientists from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM).
Using a unique time series of aerial photographs from 1936 to 2006, the authors argue that understanding rates at which marginal lands in the Great Plains are used for cultivation since the Great Depression requires understanding the interacting dynamics of demography, technology and policy.
Using the Interior Plains, the largest physiographic division of the US as study area, this paper investigates how political fragmentation in local governance can affect land use patterns through a watershed-level analysis of population and employment density changes.
In this study the authors aim to determine the effects of urbanisation and associated management practices on fine-scale biophysical landscape function of urban and exurban grassland fragments, as well as to determine the potential for the use of Landscape Function Analysis (LFA) in decision-making involving the conservation of grassland fragments.
Using mixed qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection and analysis, the author examines the effect of religious ideals on mechanisms that underlie changes in population growth, economic development, and land conversion within a polygamous, agro-pastoral society near Tarangire National Park in northern Tanzania where Christianity is spreading rapidly.
