About this book Because science has grown in specialized silos, multi-hazards and hazards that cross spaces and scales remain under-represented in the academic literature. Recent books on the sediment cascade have begun to address this, yet they remain organized around particular sets of processes, and the boundaries of academic specialty still bound their approaches. This…

Unearthing the Genesis of Academic Knowledge and Disaster Risk Reduction Christopher Gomez https://doi.org/10.1093/9780197851487.003.0625 Structures governing academic knowledge are arguably incompatible with the genuine needs of disaster risk reduction (DRR) and the development of community and bottom-up knowledge and knowledge structure. Early-21st-century universities can trace their origin back to the medieval Christian institutions to which they…

Abstract Chemicals from past and present maritime activities and land effluents pollute coastal areas. Cybutryne, a banned antifoulants, has been reported to persist in the environment. Diuron is banned in Europe, but in Japan it’s still used with Cu2O in ship hulls’ paints. These substances are persistent, and even cybutryne, may remain for extended period…
