Yet extensive evidence across science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine shows that women remain underrepresented among recipients of these honors. To evaluate equity within the coastal geosciences and engineering (CGE) community, we compiled the gender distribution of 1,138 awards and invited keynotes granted by professional societies and conferences relevant to CGE over the past 50 years. We additionally reviewed publicly available nomination and selection procedures to assess transparency and inclusivity in award processes. Overall, 65% of honors were presented to men, and 35% were awarded to women and gender-diverse recipients. While men received more than 94% of awards before 2000, female representation among honorees increased to an average of 42% since 2020, outpacing the growth of women in the global scientific workforce and in tenure-track positions in the physical sciences and engineering in the United States. Disparities persist, however, across organizations and career stages: late-career awards and invited keynotes remain disproportionately male-dominated. Most organizations publicly share eligibility criteria, but few provide information on committee composition, evaluation rubrics or conflict-of-interest policies. Our findings show substantial progress toward gender equity in CGE recognition, yet highlight continued gaps in senior-level honors and the transparency of selection procedures. We provide community-focused recommendations such as clearer nomination policies, actions to reduce implicit bias, improved record-keeping and expanded mid-career awards to support equitable recognition across career stages and to ensure that honors reflect the evolving diversity of the CGE workforce.</p>","PeriodicalId":520999,"journal":{"name":"Cambridge prisms.

This paper adopts a bottom-up approach by measuring household-level L&Ds from cyclones. Estimates are derived for a representative household in Odisha, India, using two case studies: a super cyclone and a very severe cyclone., Data were collected through focus group discussions and household surveys, and were valued using the then prevailing market prices. The findings suggest that the annual L&Ds for a coastal household in Odisha amount to USD 193 from a super cyclone and USD 396 from severe cyclones, measured in 2014 prices and exchange rate (1 USD = INR 60.95). While the super cyclone caused extensive losses, a substantial portion of the damage was compensated through government support and international aid. In contrast, very severe cyclones are more frequent but receive limited external assistance, leaving households to cope largely on their own. L&D assessment across different occupational groups reveals significant disparities in aid distribution and insurance coverage. Given that the area is a core zone of cyclogenesis, localised resource mobilisation and expanded insurance coverage should be prioritised, along with a fairer aid distribution mechanism, to strengthen disaster management.</p>","PeriodicalId":520999,"journal":{"name":"Cambridge prisms.

Coastal environments are especially distinctive for their multisensory stimuli, expansive vistas and cultural significance, with benefits shaped by environmental quality, accessibility and usability. Climate change threatens these benefits via extreme events, such as storm surges and flooding, and gradual processes, including rising sea levels, erosion and warming temperatures, which can also alter people's perceptions, engagement patterns and cultural connections. A conceptual framework is proposed to explore the mechanisms through which climate change affects coastal amenities. This framework offers a structured approach to understanding how environmental processes, interventions and social factors interact to shape health and wellbeing outcomes, and identifies where, why and at what scales adaptation interventions can be most effectively applied. Adaptation measures can help sustain wellbeing benefits under climate hazards by reinforcing positive feedbacks, such as stewardship and investment in amenities, while mitigating negative feedbacks from environmental degradation or overuse. Climate-informed adaptation of coastal amenities, integrating ecological, social and governance considerations, is essential to preserve quality, access, usability and the equitable delivery of health benefits. The framework therefore offers both a theoretical basis for understanding climate-wellbeing interactions and a practical tool to support internationally relevant interventions, policy development and co-designed justice-sensitive adaptation strategies that sustain the health, cultural and social value of blue spaces under climate change.</p>","PeriodicalId":520999,"journal":{"name":"Cambridge prisms.

Interviews with 110 fishers documented commonly caught species, and the number of times each taxon was reported was calculated. Family-level catch data and mean microplastic loads were each standardised between 0 and 1 to generate Catch and Microplastic Scores, which were multiplied to create an Exposure Index reflecting both social relevance and contamination levels.

Gendered fishing patterns revealed differences in catch, influencing potential exposure pathways and highlighting the need for gender-disaggregated data in future assessments. This approach of combining local knowledge with contamination studies offers a replicable, regionally-grounded method for identifying key indicator species for future microplastic monitoring.

Many of the measured response variables provided hints of subtle changes in response to +P rather than +N, which were enhanced when scaled. From this, we found that additional P loading is expected to reduce both gross and net primary productivity as well as CO2 uptake via net ecosystem exchange of C, likely pressing the system beyond metabolic capacity and leading to a 48-62% decrease in projected lateral C export.

A planar water surface modeling approach validated with differential GPS measurements was applied to a 1-m-resolution digital elevation model. Results indicate that water levels in the adjacent basin can reach within 1 m of the mean dike crest elevation during spring tides. Planar surface modeling scenarios demonstrate that relatively modest increases in water level beyond this threshold could result in inundation, affecting thousands of hectares of cropland and hundreds of hectares of developed land, along with critical transportation infrastructure. This exposure has the potential to disrupt agricultural productivity, rural livelihoods, groundwater quality and interprovincial supply chains across the isthmus.

We first test and compare three different methods to reduce the internal variability in the observations, which hampers the comparison with models, in particular for shorter time periods. While all three methods reduce the internal variability, we find the low-frequency component analysis (LFCA) removes most of the internal variability. We find that the regional projections are in good agreement with the LFCA-filtered observations, for 96% of ocean area within the 90% confidence interval. For the total sea level and sterodynamic component, the projections both under- and overestimate the observations, depending on the region.

A lack of comprehensive field datasets has impeded rigorous validation for most systems, with many assessments relying on qualitative observations. Improving the reliability of the EWS requires improving their validation against field data obtained during storms and regular updating of the topobathymetric data to include the actual pre-storm morphology. Currently, most EWS rely on outdated or synthetic morphological inputs, which increases prediction uncertainty. The computational constraints of physics-based models may prevent warnings from being issued in time and have led to the adoption of surrogate approaches that depend on robust training datasets. Furthermore, most systems focus solely on hazard detection, paying limited attention to the risk to assets or populations.

Increasingly, early-career researchers (ECRs) are undertaking interdisciplinary research while facing uncertainty about their career progression. In this research paper, we explore the challenges and opportunities faced by ECRs in the United Kingdom conducting Interdisciplinary Coastal Research (IDCR). We draw on findings from internal workshops, webinar discussions and an online survey, all conducted in 2024. The main barriers to IDCR are systemic in nature and include demanding workload, short-term contracts, ineffective supervisory and limited institutional support. Generally, ECRs felt positive about the benefits of interdisciplinarity to coastal research and their career development, but some ECRs expressed feelings of impostor syndrome. Enhanced flexibility in approaches, improved communication and open-mindedness are among the proposed solutions. This research highlights the mismatch between the ambition and the day-to-day reality of ECRs working in IDCR and provides recommendations for IDCR, which can both enhance the experience of ECRs and secure better outcomes for coastal areas.</p>","PeriodicalId":520999,"journal":{"name":"Cambridge prisms.
