    Top 10 Posts for February 2014

    March 4, 2014 By Schuyler Null
    Feb-Top-10

    “Population was long perceived as mainly an issue in terms of people’s resource appetites: more people means more demand for stuff,” said The New York Times’ Andrew Revkin in an interview last month. “But in vulnerable places it actually means a bigger exposure to hazard.”

    Exposure and resilience to hazard was a common theme on the blog last month, with new posts on Bangladesh’s history of development successes, an examination of women’s empowerment and its effect on state behavior, a look at several new “geojournalism” sites, and two new event summaries on the state of the oceans and defining “resilience.”

    These are the top 10 most popular posts from February 2014:
