As climate change and extreme weather events increasingly threaten traditional landscapes and livelihoods of entire communities the need to study its impact on human migration and population displacement has never been greater. The Atlas of Environmental Migration is the first illustrated publication mapping this complex phenomenon. It clarifies terminology and concepts, draws a typology of migration related to environment and climate change, describes the multiple factors at play, explains the challenges, and highlights the opportunities related to this phenomenon. Through elaborate maps, diagrams, illustrations, case studies from all over the world based on the most updated international research findings, the Atlas guides the reader from the roots of environmental migration through to governance. In addition to the primary audience of students and scholars of environment studies, climate change, geography and migration it will also be of interest to researchers and students in politics, economics and international relations departments.

This study conducted a composite risk assessment to evaluate the environmental impacts of phenol, a Hazardous and Noxious Substance (HNS) released or leaked from port facilities. The study area was designated as the vicinity of Incheon Port, South Korea, where the volume of petrochemical-related materials is substantial and various industrial facilities are located. For the composite risk assessment, various vulnerability maps were developed, incorporating the dispersion range of phenol calculated through numerical modeling. The vulnerability maps were generated by classifying socio-environment, legally protected areas, habitats, and species, followed by integrating these individual vulnerability maps to construct an integrated vulnerability map. The composite risk assessment was conducted by considering both the integrated vulnerability map and the dispersion range of phenol. The assessment results indicated that the highest risk by depth was observed in the lower layers due to the settling characteristics of phenol. Spatially, areas where islands and coastlines converge exhibited relatively higher risks. This was attributed to the high concentrations of phenol released from industrial facilities, such as crude oil refineries, petrochemical plants, and organic compound manufacturers, in regions characterized by intense human activity, sensitive habitats, and legally protected areas. Continuous monitoring of these high-risk areas is crucial for assessing the environmental impacts of HNS substances like phenol.

Migration and residential mobility researchers are increasingly exploring moves across the entire life course, rather than singular migration events (Coulter 'et al. ' 2016). Depending on the person, residential moves across an entire lifetime can be international as well as local or regional, and so methods that are sensitive to various spatial scales are necessary. This paper provides an overview of a qualitative geographical information systems (GIS) method that is sensitive to changing spatial scales of migration. Combined biographical interviews, mapping and visual methods were used to explore the migration paths of international and domestic migrants to the regional city of Maroochydore, Australia. Participants were asked to outline and describe the places they have lived throughout their life course, while their residential locations were mapped and visually represented using Tour Builder 3D (Tour Builder) and Google Earth satellite imagery. By combining the mapping exercise with a traditional oral interview, additional data were generated as the participants discussed their satisfaction and personal experiences of each location. The multiscalar ability of Tour Builder and Google Earth allowed the participants' migration biographies to be followed virtually as they described their place experiences and perceptions at the local, regional and national levels. This paper is a step towards bridging the gap between international and domestic migration and mobility studies, and presents a creative biographical mapping method with the potential for further mapping applications.

Globalisation and transition from a production-based to a knowledge-based economy have a profound impact on the role and value of higher education in Malaysia. The restructuring and transformation of higher education in Malaysia, particularly in the research universities, focus on critical areas such as research and innovation, teaching and learning, and industry and community engagement, are likely to affect these institutions as a whole and in particular both staff and students. The purpose of this study is to profile the mental health and wellbeing of undergraduate students of the designated research university as the university underwent institutional transformation. The findings from Phase I and Phase II of the study over the course of 2 years and using the New Mind Maps instrument suggest that undergraduate students who were exposed to the changing environment resulting from the university's transformation were experiencing a psychologically stressful and anxiety-provoking time. Implications from the findings are discussed.

Interest in the measurement of wellbeing and quality of life has increased in recent decades and a wide range of statistical and econometric techniques have been used to investigate and measure individual quality of life. Following this line of research, this paper uses data envelopment analysis (DEA) to evaluate the wellbeing performance and ranking of the 20 Italian regions from 2005 to 2011. The analysis is based on 12 indicators which represent some of the different aspects of wellbeing. These include economic conditions, labour market conditions, neighbourhood relationships and the environment. The Malmquist indices obtained from the DEA scores are then used to measure changes in wellbeing over time. The results reveal that northern regions have been performing with more efficiency than southern ones. This paper also uses the self-organizing map technique to cluster regions into homogeneous groups where the within-group-object dissimilarity is minimized and the between-group-object dissimilarity is maximized. The clustering analysis confirms a marked duality in regional wellbeing in Italy.
