The prevalence of social media use offers new opportunities for studying the dynamic risk information ecosystem that emerges when hazards threaten ( Morss et al. 2017 ). Although in the weather community social media is often discussed in terms of its potential for authorities to distribute risk information, it can offer much more.

comprehensive scope of marine surveys is required ( Gatzert and Kosub 2016 ). These are conducted to ensure that the offshore wind farms can be built in the right locations with the least impact on animal life or nature in general and are based on the correct seabed conditions ( Poulsen and Lema 2017 ). Marine surveys are also necessary in the next phases of the OWF development, especially in relation to the environmental impact assessment (the before-after-control-impact framework) ( Lapeña et al. 2010

policy was influenced by Du Toit’s experiences that he had gained from studies outside South Africa, including a strong drought science of “dryland farming” and conservationist farming approaches. His focus on agricultural conservation, effective use of water, dry farming, soils, and soil conservation influenced the thinking of the time and for many years to follow. Dryness was not so much a product of failing rains but was the result of a combination of natural factors and failed conservation

to mitigate drought-induced loss in agriculture are based on a simple rainfall index ( Leblois and Quirion 2013 ). This can be troublesome due to the incomplete relationship between the meteorological drought that the index detects and the agricultural drought that causes loss ( Black et al. 2015 ). In the case of livestock ranching, the focus of our study, ecological factors in addition to climate that affect production of the perennial grasses, forbs, and shrubs that comprise the range resource

is mostly caused by human activities ( Leiserowitz et al. 2016 ). Moreover, most Americans see climate change as a relatively distant problem: distant in space [i.e., more likely to harm people in developing countries (63%) or elsewhere in the United States (59%) rather than people in their community (46%) or themselves personally (41%)], distant in time [i.e., more likely to harm future generations of people (70%)], and distant in terms of species [i.e., more likely to harm other animal and

social science study, which sought to engage a small number of diverse tourism-sector stakeholders in order to explore the information-seeking behavior regarding weather information. Small-scale explorative studies are often used when the aim is to derive an understanding of multiple points of view on an issue and test or develop a model or framework ( Shakeela and Becken 2015 ; Warren and Karner 2010 ). To obtain detailed descriptions of the research themes during 10–20 February 2015 in Nadi and

A few exceptions have focused on the role of ski activism in combatting climate change (e.g., Mihala 2019 ) and the vulnerability of ski industries (e.g., Scott et al. 2019 ), but these studies are limited to snow sports with athlete perspectives and climate change receiving little attention ( Schneider and Mücke 2023 ). 2.

—on maritime piracy in two regions of the world, both of which have been plagued by high levels of piracy: East Africa and the South China Sea. As compared with studies examining a diverse range of outcomes related to crime and security on land, we argue that the effects of climate change are transmitted most directly to individuals whose livelihood is connected to the ocean. Based on rational choice theory, we expect maritime piracy to be linked directly to the costs and rewards of fishing. We measure
