abstract:Residents of North Carolina have endured the negative impacts of droughts for centuries. In this study, I examine spatiotemporal aspects of drought across North Carolina's eight climate divisions over a recent 100–year period (1920–2019). Using the Palmer Drought Severity Index, I define a drought event as any period of three or more consecutive months recording moderate to extreme drought conditions. I compare drought frequency, intensity, and length between early (1920–1969) and late (1970–2019) 50–year periods and test for trends in drought severity for the full 100–year study period and the most recent 50– and 30–year periods. For the majority of climate divisions, droughts are more frequent and longer in the late period. However, these differences were not statistically significant (p > 0.05) in any climate division or for the entire state. Similarly, trends in drought severity were generally absent, with only two climate divisions recording a significant trend toward drier conditions. Temporally, the long-term patterns reveal that droughts were largely absent statewide during the 1960s and 1970s. Considerable spatial variability exists within the state, with the southern coastal plain and Piedmont climate divisions the most anomalous for frequency and intensity.

abstract:Water resources protection has proven challenging due to the complex nature of resource management. Since the 1970s, many water management researchers have turned their attention to the use of decision support systems (DSS) as a means of supporting and enhancing decision making in water resource management. In some areas, DSS have been effectively applied to connect environmental degradation and water treatment capacity to promote stakeholder engagement. However, how DSS influence decision making within the water management sector has not been adequately articulated. This study attempted to fill the gap by gathering data through surveys and interviews from stakeholders who are part of institutions that utilize the Water Atlas, a DSS, in their respective counties. The study found that the tool was used for both educational outreach and scientific research support. Decision making was mostly supported through the program's use as a research tool. Stakeholders also expressed that conditions found in the literature to contribute to successful implementation were largely met through the Water Atlas development process and continued use.

abstract:Gas stations with convenience stores are often patronized by many American drivers and are a mainstay in the urban infrastructure and geography of American cities. Not only do American drivers fill their gas tanks at gas stations, but they also use restroom facilities and purchase food and drink, and other convenient household items. At gas stations, people may be exposed to a variety of local residents and out-of-towners. Thus, gas stations may create a criminogenic environment due to the large number of people who congregate at the location, some of which may be criminally motivated individuals or suitable crime targets. Further, these locations may lack the proper security and guardianship measures to prevent crime. The current study takes a geospatial approach of the greater Atlanta metropolis to test whether greater concentrations of gas stations within block groups are associated with higher crime counts. After controlling for a number of socio-demographic block-group characteristics, results from various count models find that regardless of the time of the day, block groups with greater concentrations of gas stations are associated with higher violent and property crime counts. Theoretical and policy implications are discussed.

abstract:This paper serves as a preliminary commentary on the future resilience and vulnerability of Southern sites of memory about and for Black, Indigenous, and other people of color (BIPOC). We discuss interactions between memory and the environment that present opportunities for more just, equitable, and sustainable commemorations as well as interactions that may undermine progress toward that vision. Drawing from hazards and cultural geographies, we describe four principles for resilient remembering: continuity, visibility, adaptability, and legitimacy. Next, we survey four Southern cases where emerging and interrelated threats of closure, cultural tokenism, dispossession, and managed retreat specifically endanger Black sites of memory. In each case, we highlight BIPOC cultural institutions already performing resilient remembering and consider ways in which these efforts may be amplified to confront the rapidly changing conditions ahead. We conclude by calling on geographers to resiliently remember with BIPOC communities and cultural institutions to promote justice and inclusion of BIPOC in the politics of the future South.

abstract:Metropolitan regions in the southeastern United States are among the fastest-growing regions in the country. Due in part to broader economic transitions and related pull factors, urban regions in the American South are poised for further growth. In addition to pull factors driving current and projected migration trends, climate change-induced migration from coastal areas will also contribute to population growth in proximate inland urban regions. Moreover, despite state- and federal-level rhetoric and policy vacillations, places like Atlanta, Charlotte, and Nashville have planned policies, programs, and practices focused on integration and receptivity of newly arriving populations, including immigrants, refugees, and domestic migrants. How will metropolitan regions in the South continue to incorporate millions of new residents through the mid-twenty-first century? This paper analyzes projected population growth in the southeastern US through the mid-twenty-first century. Findings suggest institutional and social change prospects to facilitate the South's evolution on migration, integration, and receptivity in metropolitan regions, and identify possible pathways for southern metropolitan regions to build a more regionally resilient and resourceful future.
