Analysing changes in disaster terminology over the last decade
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-25)Disaster researchers devote considerable attention to concept formation in an attempt to steer DRR terminology towards greater definitional coherence. Many researchers and policy makers frequently turn to UNISDR and their oft-cited terminology guide to ensure that concepts are employed consistently between agencies and research projects. An update to this guide introduced in 2017 introduced a range ... -
Bracing for turmoil: temporalities of livelihood adaptation among informal workers in Facatativá, Colombia
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-04-19)his study considers temporal aspects of livelihood adaptation in times of turmoil by drawing on interviews with informal street vendors in Facatativá, Colombia. By engaging a ‘time stories’ perspective, this article aims to provide a better understanding of how livelihood responses to shocks emerge from (and are constrained by) individuals’ initial and changing assumptions about the continued ... -
Can Community Resettlement be Considered a Resilient Move? Insights from a Slow-Onset Disaster in the Colombian Andes
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-06-13)The degree to which communities can best withstand various forms of external stress, as well as what constitutes community resilience has been a matter of debate in discussions of development, resilience building, adaptation and transformation. Drawing on insights from a field expedition to the indigenous reserve of Aponte in the Colombian Andes, this paper engages with the concept of transformational- ... -
Challenges Associated with Creeping Disasters in Disaster Risk Science and Practice: Considering Disaster Onset Dynamics
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-12)In this article, we set out to reconcile a general conceptualization of disaster temporalities by drawing on the epitome example of a creeping disaster, namely famine. Our argument is driven by the recognition that slowly manifesting disaster impacts pose distinct challenges for decision makers and researchers while there is a tendency for the disaster literature to overlook the role of disaster ... -
Conceptualizing AMR as a creeping disaster in terms of pace and space
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)Traditionally defined, disasters are understood as relatively limited in duration. Yet we also know that some disasters are of a creeping and indeed perpetual nature – their onsets do not seize to advance. One example is AMR. In theory, it should be easier to respond to such creeping disasters as a result of their slow build up. In reality, however, swift response to creeping disasters rarely ... -
A discipline without a name? Contrasting three fields dealing with hazards and disaster
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-29)A growing number of research fields have been striving for recognition as an academic discipline. Rather than argue that ‘our field’ should also be recognised as such, we stop to ask two fundamental questions. Our first question concerns whether and how disciplinary concerns would benefit research fields dealing with hazards and disasters. Second, we reflect on the implications of not having a broadly ... -
Drawing lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic: Seven obstacles to learning from public inquiries in the wake of the crisis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-13)On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the emerging COVID-19 threat a pandemic following the global spread of the virus. A year later, a number of governments are being handed the concluding reports of national public inquiries tasked with investigating responses, mishaps, and identifying lessons for the future. The present article aims to identify a set of learning obstacles that ... -
Exploiting more robust and efficacious deep learning techniques for modeling wind power with speed
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-27)Abstract Sound analyses of the nonlinear relationship between wind speed and power generation are crucial for the advancement of wind energy optimization. As an emerging artificial intelligence technology, deep learning has received growing attention from energy researchers for its outstanding ability to provide complex mappings. However, deep neural networks involve complex configurations, ... -
Higher Education and the Changing Situation of Societal Security in the Baltic Sea Region
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-27)While concepts like risk and crisis management have grown ubiquitous at all levels of government, they have also cemented their place in academia as interdisciplinary fields of study in higher education. In the Baltic Sea Region (BSR), these types of educational programmes are typically labelled under the umbrella term ‘societal security’ in English. This article provides a succinct depiction ... -
Life in Anticipation of the COVID-19 Pandemic ‘Peak’: Reflecting on ‘Strategies’ for and Variations in attempts at ‘Flattening the Curve’ and Managing the Crisis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-08)On March 11th, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the emerging COVID-19 threat a pandemic following the global spread of the virus. As countries around the world implemented emergency measures in a concerted effort to handle the emerging pandemic, the nature and implications of the different kinds of precautionary measures adopted have remained contested. The majority of countries ... -
Life in Anticipation of Wind Power Development: Three Cases from Coastal Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-21)Wind power development, whilst welcomed by many as a potentially green source of energy, also gives rise to considerable local resistance. Drawing on three case studies from coastal Norway (Frøya, Haramsøy, and Egersund), the present article sets out to reflect on life in anticipation of wind power development. Reflecting on the nature of life in anticipation of undesired wind power developments, ... -
Living through and with the global HIV/AIDS pandemic: Distinct ‘pandemic practices’ and temporalities
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-12)In this study, we expand on the newly devised sociological concept of pandemic practices that emerged during the COVID-19 outbreak by applying it to the HIV/AIDS pandemic. The analytical heuristic of pandemic practices distinguishes between four kinds of practices: (i) primary practices that encompass the public’s direct response to the pandemic, (ii) responsive practices that encompass altered ... -
Locating potential sources of capacity and vulnerability in geographically remote areas: Reflections based on three case studies
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-02)The relationship between geographical and social forms of remoteness and the concepts of vulnerability and capacity remains unclear. Recognising that capacities and vulnerabilities tend to co-exist in a population, the article assumes that the dynamics between these concepts are situational. In this article we draw on three cases to analyse the issue. An Arctic case study provides insight on remoteness ... -
Overcoming Barriers to Proactive Response in Slow-onset Disasters
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2019)Disasters differ markedly in their speed of manifestation, which in turn greatly affects how researchers as well as authorities interpret and respond to them. In theory, disasters with a gradual and creeping onset are easier to manage than sudden and unexpected ones. However, the unfortunate reality is that hazards with a slow-onset are often ignored, left smouldering in the background, while their ... -
Progress, traditions and future directions in research on disasters involving slow-onset hazards
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-07)<i>Purpose</i> - The importance of onset speed has been stressed by disaster researchers and inter-governmental bodies for some time, but its meaning and knowledge frontier has not been explored in depth. The purpose of this paper is to contextualise disasters involving slow-onset hazards within the broader literature on disasters, assess the current state of knowledge and identify themes in the ...
