Abstract
In this review, the potential of an emerging field of interdisciplinary climate research, Coastal Boulder Deposits (CBDs) as natural archives for intense storms, is explored with particular reference to the Mediterranean region. First, the identification of the pertinent scientific articles was performed by the using Web of Science (WoS) engine. Thus, the selected studies have been analysed to feature CBDs produced and/or activated during the last half-century. Then, the meteorological events responsible for the literature-reported cases were analysed in some detail using the web archives of the Globo-Bolam-Moloch model cascade. The study of synoptical and local characteristics of the storms involved in the documented cases of boulder production/activation proved useful for assessing the suitability of selected sites as geomorphological storm proxies. It is argued that a close and fruitful collaboration involving several scientific disciplines is required to develop this climate research field.

Abstract
A new generation of activists is calling for bold responses to the climate crisis. Although young people are motivated to act on climate issues, existing educational frameworks do not adequately prepare them by addressing the scope and complexity of the human health risks associated with climate change. We adapted the US government's climate literacy principles to propose a definition and corresponding set of elements for a concept we term climate and health literacy. We conducted a scoping review to assess how the peer-reviewed literature addresses these elements. Our analysis reveals a focus on training health professionals; more international than US domestic content; and limited information about data and models, fossil fuels, and equity. We propose developing a framework that builds on the elements to support a broader educational agenda that prepares students and future leaders to recognize the complex health ramifications of a changing climate.

Sci Rep 2020; 10:20741. [PMID: 33244093 PMCID: PMC7692527 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-77649-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2020] [Accepted: 11/13/2020] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Agricultural weeds can adapt rapidly to human activities as exemplified by the evolution of resistance to herbicides. Despite its multi-faceted nature, herbicide resistance has rarely been researched in a holistic manner. A novel approach combining timely resistance confirmation, investigation of resistance mechanisms, alternative control solutions and population modelling was adopted for the sustainable management of the Amaranthus palmeri weed in soybean production systems in Argentina. Here, we show that resistance to glyphosate in the studied population from Cordoba province was mainly due to a P106S target-site mutation in the 5-enolpyruvylshikimate 3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) gene, with minor contributions from EPSPS gene duplication/overexpression. Alternative herbicides, such as fomesafen, effectively controlled the glyphosate-resistant plants. Model simulations revealed the tendency of a solo herbicidal input to primarily select for a single resistance mechanism and suggested that residual herbicides, alongside chemical diversity, were important for the sustainable use of these herbicides. We also discuss the value of an interdisciplinary approach for improved understanding of evolving weeds.
