How do we understand community resilience to flooding? A difficult question, but Claude L. Nsobya has completed extensive research to contribute to finding the answer, through his PhD funded by Project Groundwater. We are pleased to announce that Claude's research on understanding community resilience to flooding has been published in the Earth and Environmental Science IOP Conference Series this month.

Fitchett and colleagues show that the SAJS has published articles on many of the important environmental milestones of the last 120 years, and continues to reflect the key issues of the time. In recent years, the Earth & Environmental Sciences portfolio has been dominated by submissions on water quality and climate change, in addition to geology, conservation, environmental policy and planning, waste management, and environmental health. https://buff.ly/48ICMXf

Calling all scientists and practitioners working to understand the physical and environmental impacts of war and conflict 📣 The Conflict and Environment Academic Network has a session at the #AGU24 Fall Meeting -- please submit an abstract if you work in this domain and plan to attend! Conflict impact assessment is an emergent research discipline and we need to increase our coordination and communication around all the work that's going on to track the footprint of war. "We intend for the session to contribute to building collaborations and capacities across science, policy, and practice domains, advance the science of conflict impact assessment, and ultimately help address the challenges at hand."

our recent research has just been accepted by the highly reputable journal of environmental science and technology. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my co-authors specially Mr. Soorena Gharibian who always guided me in all stages. https://lnkd.in/dhGSN9TE

Christopher Schell, a professor in the Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management, has been selected as a chapter lead for the forthcoming National Nature Assessment. An urban ecologist who studies the social-ecological factors affecting wildlife and people in cities, Schell will guide a team of global experts from universities, research institutes, NGOs, and government agencies to write the assessment's Nature and Equity chapter. The section will delve further into the widening “nature gap” perpetuated across racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic strata, review the past and present processes disproportionately affecting nature access, and provide recommendations based in environmental justice praxis. https://lnkd.in/g9GrRESu

The chief scientist at the Ministry of Environmental Protection, Prof. Noga Kronfeld-Schor, and the Israel Society for Ecology and Environmental Sciences, with the support of the Heinrich Bell Foundation, led an expert committee on Developing a Climate Vulnerability Index for Israel; Over 100 experts from different disciplines discussed the challenges, limitations, needs, and opportunities in developing the vulnerability index, and compiled a list of possible sensitivity indicators. In total, 130 indicators were selected, divided into 5 themes: Socio-economic sensitivity, Operational continuity sensitivity, Health sensitivity, Environmental sensitivity and Integration of sensitivity fields.   We are currently collaborating with the Israel National Academy of Sciences and Humanities, to delineate the indicators for mapping. This entails identifying information sources and addressing knowledge gaps, which will subsequently be incorporated into the Ministry's National Climate Risk Map. This map will serve as a vital resource for informing science-driven decisions made by local authorities, government ministries, emergency agencies, businesses, and the general public.
