Editorial: Dams and wetland biodiversity: Impacts and mitigating measures
No full textTo meet energy, water and transportation needs, an incredible amount of dams have been constructed around the world. For example, only in the Yangtze River's watershed of China, over 50,000 dams were built since 1950 (Nilsson et al., 2005; Wu et al., 2019). Dams could contribute to energy and water supply, and flood protection, but they also affect aquatic ecosystems by alteration of hydrologic regime and fragmentation (Barbarossa et al., 2020). While about 50% of the river around the world is currently changed by dam, this percentage is expected to increase to 93% because of the pending construction of about 3,700 major hydropower dams (Grill et al., 2015).To meet energy, water and transportation needs, an incredible amount of dams have been constructed around the world.

Assessing star value: The influence of prior performance and visibility on compensation strategy
No full textThe greatest competition among rivals in many industries is not for market share but human capital. In the so-called talent war, organisations compete aggressively to attract star employees—individuals with disproportionate productivity and external visibility—in pursuit of competitive advantage. Building on human capital and resource-based view theories, we argue that firms' compensation strategies are influenced by the intangible assets that define stars. With data from Major League Baseball, we find that organisations are likely to pay higher wages to stars based on their prior performance and visibility. Furthermore, our data indicate that firm competitive position influences which of these intangible assets holds greater value for managers. We discuss the implications of these findings for organisations waging a war for talent and suggest directions for future research on a matter that is far from over

Climate change adaptation and mitigation in cities of the Gulf of Mexico
No full textUrbanization is a complex socio-economic process that transforms formerly natural areas into urban settlements. As of 2018, 55% of the world’s population reside in urban areas. Urban expansion contributes to climate change by increasing the rate of greenhouse gas emissions and at the same time reducing carbon sinks. However, cities can be part of the solution to this global crisis, through adaptation and mitigation actions. The effects of climate change can be differentiated between coastal zones and inland. The impacts of it on coastal plains, such as exists in the Gulf of Mexico (GMx), might be especially harsh. Although coastal plains represent only 2% of the total land area in the world, approximately 13% of the world’s urban population lives in these areas. Finally, there are various taxonomies of climate hazards for cities; among them hydrological. This work is focused on identifying what adaptation and mitigation strategies urban planners are using in the Gulf of Mexico cities in the face of climate change, specifically hydrological threats. A literature review on the relationship between climate change and coastal cities in the GMx is presented as part of the current doctoral project
