This paper examines the links between climate change and security in the island states of the South-west Pacific. A worst-case scenario of climate change is presented which suggests that land will be lost or rendered uninhabitable in all Pacific
states of the South-west Pacific. Clearly, climate change is an important threat to human security.
Island states as a result of climate-change impacts. Loss of land is the focus of this paper. The A. demonstrates clearly how an environmental threat such as climate change can undermine economic, societal, political and military security in the island
A comparison of 500 hPa height patterns associated with anticyclones of Pacific and continental origin impacting the central Gulf Coast, United States

This research examines the 500 hPa circulation patterns that lead to the occurrence of days dominated by anticyclones of Pacific origin (Pacific Highs) over the central Gulf Coast. Although the geographically preferred zones of greatest height
variability are similar to those leading up to days dominated by anticyclones of continental origin (Continental Highs), variability centers on the northern fringes of the extratropics seem to support Pacific High activity to a greater extent than was found

Sketch maps of the Asian Pacific Region drawn by secondary teachers of geography and social studies are analyzed in the United States to determine if background experiences in geographic education affects the accuracy of maps.

Large glaciers descended western valleys of the Olympic Mountains six times during the last (Wisconsin) glaciation, terminating in the Pacific coastal lowlands. The glaciers constructed extensive landforms and thick stratigraphic sequences, which
