Ethics requirements for environmental research Australasian Journal of Environmental Management (IF 2.617) Pub Date : 2023-06-14 Jan McDonald, Manon Simon
ABSTRACT Research into the best forms of conservation management or climate intervention is critically important, but carries its own risks of impacts. Unless research requires a legal permit, evaluation of whether the benefits of such research outweigh risks is left to research ethics processes. We ask whether the ethics processes governing outdoor research in Australia ensure that potential environmental

Water users’ attitudes towards fish-protection screens: a case study from Australia’s Murray-Darling (Baaka) Basin Australasian Journal of Environmental Management (IF 2.617) Pub Date : 2023-03-01 Tahmid Nayeem, Nick Pawsey, Lee Baumgartner, Amie Sexton, Craig Boys
ABSTRACT Fish-protection screens for water pumps and channels can conserve fish populations and deliver operational benefits to irrigators. However, the uptake of fish screens is mixed, and there is limited evidence concerning irrigator attitudes towards this technology. The current study addresses this knowledge deficit through 26 semi-structured in-depth interviews with irrigators and other associated

ABSTRACT The Australian Government recently ‘upgraded’ the status of the koala across New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory and Queensland from vulnerable to endangered. This change is a result of the impact of prolonged drought, bushfires, and the cumulative impacts of disease, urbanisation and habitat loss. In contrast, little is known about the status of koalas in the Clarke-Connors

Persistence of nitrogen oxides emissions using historical time series data: evidence from 37 countries Australasian Journal of Environmental Management (IF 2.617) Pub Date : 2022-11-11 Sakiru Adebola Solarin, Lorenzo Bermejo, Luis A. Gil-Alana
ABSTRACT Two features in time series data: the existence of time trends and the degree of persistence, are examined in this work on the nitrogen oxides emissions from 37 OECD countries. Updated techniques in time series are used that allow for fractional degrees of differentiation in the data. Thus, if the number of differences required is one, nitrogen oxides emissions are not mean reverting in the

Making sense of climate change: the case of Aotearoa New Zealand dairy farmers Australasian Journal of Environmental Management (IF 2.617) Pub Date : 2022-08-09 Daniel Tisch, Jeremy Galbreath
ABSTRACT Climate change represents complexity for farmers in that events resulting from climatic changes can be concurrently abrupt, extreme, persistent, and can span boundaries. This can create complexity and difficulty for organisations in terms of how they make sense to act. To understand sensemaking processes, we explored climate change by studying a drought event. Relying on qualitative methods

Towards an efficient indicator of habitat quality for Eastern Curlews on their intertidal feeding areas Australasian Journal of Environmental Management (IF 2.617) Pub Date : 2022-07-12 Paul G. Finn, Carla P. Catterall
ABSTRACT Migratory shorebirds feed in intertidal wetlands during the winter non-breeding season, to meet their daily needs and accumulate reserves for the flight to their breeding grounds. However, these habitats may be impacted by development. Eastern Curlew (Numenius madagascariensis) populations are declining in Australia, where we assessed relationships among the curlews’ feeding behaviours, prey

ABSTRACT Strategies to balance output growth and global warming are an important matter of discussion in the current environmental management literature. A decrease in energy prices encourages energy consumption. As energy subsidies and oil prices are a major influence on the overall energy price, they also influence the level of CO2 emissions associated with output growth. In this article, we investigate
