Safe and supportive schools for LGBT youth: Addressing educational inequities through inclusive policies and practices.
Published in Journal of school psychology
Inclusive policies that attend to sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) are associated with more supportive school environments for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) youth. We use the 2013-2015 California Healthy Kids Survey (n = 113,148) matched with principal reports of school policies from the 2014 California School Health P...
Spatiotemporal sampling patterns in the 230 million year fossil record of terrestrial crocodylomorphs and their impact o...
The 24 extant crocodylian species are the remnants of a once much more diverse and widespread clade. Crocodylomorpha has an approximately 230 million year evolutionary history, punctuated by a series of radiations and extinctions. However, the group's fossil record is biased. Previous studies have reconstructed temporal patterns in subsampled croco...
Timing and importance of arboriculture and agroforestry in a temperate East Polynesia Society, the Moriori, Rekohu (Chat...
Identifying arboriculture and agroforestry in Polynesian Societies has usually relied heavily upon the ethnographic record in the absence of direct archaeological evidence. In this paper we outline a multi-proxy research design, including ethnography, palynology, anthracology, archaeology and a high precision chronology to evaluate arboriculture an...
Seventy years of continuous encroachment substantially increases 'blue carbon' capacity as mangroves replace intertidal ...
Published in Global change biology
Shifts in ecosystem structure have been observed over recent decades as woody plants encroach upon grasslands and wetlands globally. The migration of mangrove forests into salt marsh ecosystems is one such shift which could have important implications for global 'blue carbon' stocks. To date, attempts to quantify changes in ecosystem function are e...
Late Quaternary changes in the westerly winds over the Southern Ocean – a progress report
The Southern Hemisphere westerly winds (SHW) are the strongest time-averaged oceanic winds. They drive the circulation of the Southern Ocean and changes in their strength and position are thought to modify the upwelling of carbon rich deep water, exerting significant control on the ocean-atmosphere balance of CO2. Thus changes in the SHW, such as t...
How low can you go? : rhizome and shoot frost tolerance in miscanthus germplasm
Identifying nitrogen limitations to organic sediments accumulation in various vegetation types of arctic tundra (Hornsun...
Arctic and subarctic regions play important roles in the global carbon balance. However, nitrogen (N) deficiency is a major constraint for organic carbon sequestration in the High Arctic. Hence, the identification of the relative contributions from different N-sources is critical for understanding the constraints that limit tundra growth. The stabl...
On the use of radon for quantifying the effects of atmospheric stability on urban emissions
Radon is increasingly being used as a tool for quantifying stability influences on urban pollutant concentrations. Bulk radon gradients are ideal for this purpose, since the vertical differencing substantially removes contributions from processes on timescales greater than diurnal and (assuming a constant radon source) gradients are directly relate...
Climate variability in south-eastern Australia over the last 1500 years inferred from the high-resolution diatom records...
Climates of the last two millennia have been the focus of numerous studies due to the availability of high-resolution palaeoclimate records and the occurrence of divergent periods of climate, commonly referred to as the ‘Medieval Climatic Anomaly’ and ‘The Little Ice Age’. The majority of these studies are centred in the Northern Hemisphere and, in...
