A major impediment to understanding human-environment interactions is that data on social systems are not collected in a way that is easily comparable to natural systems data. While many environmental variables are collected with high frequency, gridded in time and space, social data is typically co...

To date, projections of human migration induced by sea-level change (SLC) largely suggest large-scale displacement away from vulnerable coastlines. However, results from our model of Bangladesh suggest counterintuitively that people will continue to migrate toward the vulnerable coastline irrespecti...

High-frequency social data collection may facilitate improved recall, more inclusive reporting, and improved capture of intra-period variability. Although there are examples of small studies collecting particular variables at high frequency in the social science literature, to date there have been n...

Globally, around 2 billion people are affected by moderate to severe food insecurity. The linkages from food security through to environmental sustainability are well established, but not yet well measured. This is a critical gap, as it hampers our understanding of how environmental shocks carry thr...

Agricultural production in Bangladesh has undergone dramatic changes over the past several decades. Green Revolution technologies transformed the agriculture system in the country through the introduction of highyielding rice and wheat varieties, chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and the expansio...

Among the myriad impacts of sea-level rise, one set of impacts on livelihoods relates to the shift in freshwater, brackish water, and saltwater agriculture that will be possible in coastal areas. In South and Southeast Asia, Bangladesh and Vietnam are notable in particular for the growth of shrimp a...
