“…Among the most discussed topics in this stream are vulnerability dynamics connected to climate change processes in coastal areas and communities. Some scholars tackle particular consequences of climate change, such as coastal erosion (Gomez et al, 2020), rising sea levels (Omann et al, 2009;Student et al, 2020;Fernandez et al, 2022), floods (Bhattacharjee and Behera, 2018), and typhoons (Nguyen et al, 2019), while others aim to understand vulnerability regarding a broader range of climate change impacts (Kebede et al, 2018;Ng et al, 2019;Bagheri et al, 2021) and risks (Kim and Lee, 2016;Murshed et al, 2021).…”

Research about ocean-human relations has significantly increased in recent years. Compared to other disciplines in the oceanic realm, the marine social sciences, as an umbrella term for diverse disciplines and research streams dealing with ocean-human relations, however only recently gained more attention. In this light, the UN Ocean Decade stresses marine social science’s pivotal role in assessing future trajectories toward more sustainable ocean-human relations. Our study aims to identify research trends in sustainability-related marine social sciences. Therefore, we thoroughly analyzed the metadata of 1,215 peer-reviewed articles published between 1991 and 2023 and retrieved from the Web of Sciences (WoS) database by applying various bibliometric analysis methods. Our study provides insights into (1) the scientific production of sustainability-related marine social sciences and its evolution (2) the main topics and research streams of sustainability-related marine social sciences, and (3) how these topics developed over time. The findings demonstrate a significant increase in annual scientific production as time progressed, with some countries and institutions contributing more than others. We identified, discussed, and visualized six research streams: (1) Perceptions and benefits of marine conservation; (2) Fisheries, aquaculture, and food security; (3) Climate change and climate change responses; (4) Coastal landscape and land use change; (5) Coastal and marine management; and (6) Development and ocean-human health. Based on those discussions, our study points to four future avenues for research and discussions marine social sciences could potentially build on. These include (1) strengthening the capacity of sustainability-related marine social sciences; (2) enhancing cross-country studies and cooperation; (3) fostering dialogue between marine natural and social scientists; and (4) making (more) sense of sustainability-related marine social science’s epistemic features.

“…Constructed wetlands, a type of infrastructure built to mimic natural wetland ecosystems in an urban environment, have become increasingly important in resource management and planning as these projects provide practical benefits that vary with the nature of the project. Constructed wetlands reduce the risk of damage to buildings and infrastructure and contribute to storm water collection and flood control, erosion control and groundwater replenishment; supply local amenities: water purification, habitats for native birds, fish, invertebrates and plants; views and recreational opportunities; and contribute to broader public goods: retention of nutrients and sediments, carbon storage and protection against climate‐related changes in precipitation patterns (Fernandez & Golubiewski, 2019; Singers et al., 2017).…”

“…The Auckland Unitary Plan (AUP) includes provisions to increase the use of constructed wetlands as standard practice failed to consider the degradation of natural waterways or the demand for functional neighbourhood green spaces (Cunningham et al., 2017). Constructed wetlands also serve as an adaptation measure to reduce damage from climate change‐related changes in precipitation patterns (Fernandez et al., 2017; Fernandez & Golubiewski, 2019).…”

The amenity value of constructed wetlands

Natural wetlands in urbanised areas provide practical services, including flood control and amenity values such as views, wildlife habitat and recreational opportunities. But cities also construct wetlands to improve flood control and ecosystem services, the value of which might change property prices. This paper reports the analyses of property prices that provide estimates of wetlands' localised amenity values in Auckland, New Zealand's largest city. A major challenge is that the selection of sites for wetlands’ construction is not random; amenity value is potentially confounded by property and neighbourhood characteristics that vary across space and over time. We use a combination of repeat‐sales models, difference‐in‐differences and matching models to control for unobserved heterogeneity in property and neighbourhood characteristics. The results indicate that local benefit from constructed wetlands ranges from about 5% to 9% depending on the location of the property in areas adjacent to the wetlands or in a larger catchment of interest. Our results have a causal interpretation if the selection criteria are applied uniformly across Auckland and are valuable in assessing the benefits of constructed wetlands.

Comparison of three reanalysis‐driven regional climate models over New Zealand: Climatology and extreme events

Three ~12‐km reanalysis‐driven regional climate models (RCMs) are evaluated in terms of capturing climatologies and extremes of precipitation, temperature and surface wind over Aotearoa/New Zealand (NZ). NZ provides an excellent case study for evaluating high‐resolution RCMs due to its coastal and complex terrain and isolated geographical position in the midlatitudes, exposed to both tropical and polar influences. Overall, we find that the RCMs faithfully reproduce the observed climate, with precipitation and temperature climatologies particularly well‐captured. However, the RCMs display significant differences from observations in capturing the surface wind climatology, highlighting a remaining key challenge. The excess “drizzle problem” is apparent to varying degrees, leading to a weaker representation in the length of meteorological drought in some regions. The RCMs also diverge in reproducing diurnal temperature range which appears partly related to cloud cover. Finally, we discuss the important role of observational uncertainty in the context of model evaluation.
