  • Assessing the role of climate change and human prédation on marine resources at the Fatu-ma-Futi site, I\ituila Island, American Samoa: an agent based model 
    Morrison, Alex E.; Addison, David J (AEM: Department of Anthropology, University of Hawaii, Manoa,, 2008)
    In the tropical Pacific, climate change has been implicated as a causal variable in the development of a variety of social processes, including resource scarcity, cultural diversification, changes in spatial organization, ...
  • Climate Change, Mental Health, and Well-Being for Pacific People 
    Tiatia-Seath, Jemaima (University of Hawaii Press, 2020)
    In this literature review, we analyze existing research on climate change and its impact on mental health and well-being, primarily among Pacific Islanders. To compensate for a lack of research in this area, we also address ...
  • Current and future climate of Papua New Guinea 
    Unknown author (2011)
    The temperature of the ocean surrounding Papua New Guinea has a strong influence on average monthly air temperatures. Changes in the temperature from season to season are small but more marked around Port Moresby than ...
  • Current and future climate of the Solomon Islands 
    Unknown author (Meteorological Service, 2011)
    Temperature in the Solomon Islands are relatively constant throughout the year with only very small changes from season to season. Across the Solomon Islands temperatures are strongly tied to changes in the surrounding ...
