The impact of tropical cyclones on fishing activities in the Philippines
Noy, Ilan; Lacheheb, Miloud; Pundit, Madhavi - 2023
In this paper, we identify the main fishing grounds and track the response of fishing vessels' activity to tropical cyclones (TCs) in the Philippines' Exclusive Economic Zone during 2012. We use satellite imagery from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to locate fishing vessels...

A climate-economy policy model for Barbados
Kemp-Benedict, Eric; Drakes, Crystal; Canales, Nella - In: Economies 8 (2020) 1, pp. 1-20
Small island developing states (SIDS), such as Barbados, must continually adapt in the face of uncertain external drivers. These include demand for exports, tourism demand, and extreme weather events. Climate change introduces further uncertainty into the external drivers. To address the...
