Conclusions. 330 $aThis brief is based on an analysis that was performed on the 2010 winter storms that caused considerable damage to coastal communities in Atlantic Canada. The hazards that occurred were associated with storm surge,  high waves, coastal erosion, and flooding. The analysis covered a large multisite longitudinal project, where a participatory action research (PAR) approach was used to understand how people in 10 coastal communities perceive and experience extreme weather events and to enhance their capacity to adapt and improve their resilience. This brief exposes the outcome of two series of interviews and activities that were conducted during the project, as well as the lessons learned, and general elements that should be considered when researchers collaborate with communities to define adaptation and resilience strategies. It makes an important contribution to the application of PAR as an integrated (social-ecological) approach to resilience and how such an approach can be adapted also to other communities. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Geography,$x2211-4173 606 $aNatural disasters 606 $aPhysical geography 606 $aClimatology 606 $aSociology$xMethodology 606 $aEnvironmental sciences$xSocial aspects 606 $aManagement 606 $aNatural Hazards 606 $aEarth System Sciences 606 $aClimate Sciences 606 $aSociological Methods 606 $aEnvironmental Social Sciences 606 $aManagement 615 0$aNatural disasters. 615 0$aPhysical geography. 615 0$aClimatology. 615 0$aSociology$xMethodology. 615 0$aEnvironmental sciences$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aManagement. 615 14$aNatural Hazards. 615 24$aEarth System Sciences. 615 24$aClimate Sciences. 615 24$aSociological Methods. 615 24$aEnvironmental Social Sciences. 615 24$aManagement. 676 $a551 700 $aVasseur$b Liette$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01059786 702 $aThornbush$b Mary J$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aPlante$b Steve$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299402803321 996 $aAdaptation to Coastal Storms in Atlantic Canada$92508171 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04922nam 22007575 450 001 9910845477503321 005 20250807153041.0 010 $a9783031461583 010 $a3031461584 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-031-46158-3 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC31225558 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL31225558 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-031-46158-3 035 $a(CKB)31075495100041 035 $a(OCoLC)1427971751 035 $a(EXLCZ)9931075495100041 100 $a20240320d2024 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aWalking with Christiaan Huygens $eFrom Archimedes' Influence to Unsung Contributions in Modern Science /$fby Tijmen Jan Moser, Enders Anthony Robinson 205 $a1st ed. 2024. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer Nature Switzerland :$cImprint: Springer,$d2024. 215 $a1 online resource (339 pages) 225 1 $aHistory of Physics,$x2730-7557 311 08$a9783031461576 311 08$a3031461576 327 $a1.

Huygens and geophysics. 330 $aDutch scientist Christiaan Huygens (1629-1695) left an indelible mark on the fields of mathematics, physics, astronomy, and geophysics. Despite his groundbreaking contributions, history has often overlooked his pivotal role. While two of the most famous achievements in physics are Newton?s theory of gravity and Einstein?s general theory of relativity, less well-known is that Huygens provided central elements to these theories. This book stands to correct that deficit. For example, we show how Huygens used symmetry arguments to derive conservation laws for momentum and for energy, and what Einstein later called the principle of equivalence to derive the formula for centrifugal force. In 1689, Huygens visited Newton. Together, they walked the streets of London. Newton had recently finished his masterpiece, Principia, expounding his laws of motion and the law of universal gravitation. Huygens had essentially completed his life?s work by then, building on Archimedes, Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo, Descartes, Fermat, Pascal and his own ingenuity. He had established fame as an instrument maker (telescope, pendulum clock, planetarium). He had invented the 31 tone system. He had pioneered the first principles of remote sensing. He had discovered the rings of Saturn. He had formulated the wave theory of light. What would walking with Christiaan reveal? This book gives the result in nine chapters, namely: spontaneous order, the speed of light, Huygens? principle, the telescope, the pendulum clock, Huygens-Fresnel principle, special relativity, centrifugal force, and curvature. In addition, there is a chapter titled What Huygens could have written on diffraction, and a chapter titled Huygens and Geophysics. Mentally walking with Christiaan, browsing his collected works ? a true treasure trove for puzzle enthusiasts ? and rethinking his ideas creates a vivid impression of scientific life in the 17th century, an appreciation that it is remarkably similar to ours, and an understanding of Huygens' significant and lasting contributions to science. 410 0$aHistory of Physics,$x2730-7557 606 $aPhysics$xHistory 606 $aPhysicists$vBiography 606 $aAstronomers$vBiography 606 $aScience$xHistory 606 $aPhysics 606 $aAstronomy 606 $aMathematics 606 $aHistory of Physics and Astronomy 606 $aBiographies of Physicists and Astronomers 606 $aHistory of Science 606 $aPhysics and Astronomy 606 $aApplications of Mathematics 615 0$aPhysics$xHistory. 615 0$aPhysicists 615 0$aAstronomers 615 0$aScience$xHistory. 615 0$aPhysics. 615 0$aAstronomy. 615 0$aMathematics. 615 14$aHistory of Physics and Astronomy. 615 24$aBiographies of Physicists and Astronomers. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 615 24$aPhysics and Astronomy. 615 24$aApplications of Mathematics. 676 $a509 700 $aMoser$b Tijmen Jan$01734267 701 $aRobinson$b Enders A$012476 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910845477503321 996 $aWalking with Christiaan Huygens$94150939 997 $aUNINA
