ABSTRACTIrrigation is crucial in enhancing agricultural productivity, which is vital for ensuring food security. However, overusing water for irrigation, often due to weak water resource management, leads to groundwater depletion and sinkhole formation. This problem is particularly salient in our research region in Turkey, a water-poor area where farmers intensively irrigate their crops despite limited precipitation and irrigation resources. The expansion of irrigated farmlands in this region has resulted in hundreds of sinkholes, posing serious threats to both the land and the livelihoods dependent on it. This study uses detailed micro-level datasets and panel data econometric techniques to estimate the impact of sinkhole occurrences on farmers’ decisions concerning crop cultivation. Our findings show that despite recurrent sinkhole incidents, farmers persist in their existing farming practices, showing a marked insensitivity to the escalating environmental consequences. This evidence underscores the urgent need for effective policy interventions to regulate water usage and promote more sustainable irrigation techniques.KEYWORDS: Sinkholecrop choiceenvironmental hazardJEL CLASSIFICATION: Q15Q24Q54 AcknowledgmentsWe are grateful to the data providers and their helpful personnel.Data availability statementsWe used various datasets in the paper, some of which are not publicly available. The Farmer Registry System, sinkhole, and electricity datasets were obtained from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, AFAD, and MEDAS respectively, but can be obtained by contacting these institutions.

ABSTRACTHuman mobility in the context of environmental change has become a pressing issue in the last four decades, leading to a vast body of literature that this study seeks to analyze. This paper utilises bibliometric tools to provide a comprehensive overview of the structure, themes, and conceptual evolution of climate migration research over the last four decades. Specifically, the study analyzed 476 publications indexed in the Web of Science and Scopus databases using VOSviewer and SciMAT software. The results indicate that the conceptual evolution of the field occurred primarily between 2007 and 2015. It identified four thematic clusters: water-related hazards, forced migration, climate change and adaptation, and population studies and policymaking. These findings offer important insights for scholars and decision-makers, providing a better understanding of the current state of knowledge and highlighting promising new research areas as well as gaps that require further exploration.KEYWORDS: Migrationenvironment migrationclimate-induced mobilityclimate changesystematic review Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 The specific search string was searched in either the title, abstract, or keywords: (‘migrant*’ OR ‘migration’ OR ‘immigration’ OR ‘displacement’) AND (‘clim* change’ OR ‘global warming’ OR ‘climate variability’ OR ‘extreme event’ OR ‘extreme weather’ OR ‘heat wave’ OR ‘sea level*’ OR ‘flood*’ OR ‘drought’ OR ‘storm*’ OR ‘erosion’ OR ‘desertif*’ OR ‘degrad*’).2 VOSviewer is available for free download at https://www.vosviewer.com.3 SciMAT is also available for free download at https://sci2s.ugr.es/scimat/download.html.Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the Iran National Science Foundation: [Grant Number 99022621].

It has been three decades since key leaders gathered to pave a path toward healthier and more just environments and recommendations were made to improve communication between scientists and community stakeholders who can influence decision making. Since that time, community engaged research has flourished while building the capacity of researchers to engage in the work of making change to those environments has lagged. The purpose of this study was the development of guidelines to inform interactions between researchers and decision makers and influencers who participate in the policy change process. This community engaged, pragmatic and iterative inquiry includes insight from a review of existing resources and key informant interviews. Resulting guidelines were piloted, and formative evaluation by community stakeholders informed and resulted in refinement to the guidelines. Strategies for communicating and disseminating scientific evidence are presented as well as tactics that sensitise researchers to the nuances of policy makers’ realities so they may serve as a resource for dealing with complex information and decisions. We provide tactics and archived resources in an on-line toolkit that we have cultivated over time to foster effective communication between scientists and those who have a stake in ensuring that decisions are evidence informed.
