title: Reply to the comment by Stephenson “Discussion of de Lange, W.P. and Moon, V.G. 2005. Estimating long-term cliff recession rates from shore platform widths. Engineering Geology 80, 292–301”

authors: Moon, Vicki G.

abstract: In his discussion, Stephenson raises several points, first and foremost being that the method we outline for determining long-term cliff recession rates from shore platform widths is not universally applicable. We agree fully with this and described the assumptions required for applying the method in our paper, viz.:
1. The seaward margin of the shore platform has remained relatively static;
2. Shore platform development only occurs when the mean sea level corresponds roughly (± 1 m) to the mean elevation of the shore platform; and
3. The shore platform is not polycyclic.
If these assumptions are breached then we believe the method outlined cannot give a good result. Thus, much of our paper was devoted to justifying these assumptions for the sites studied, and we note that the use of the method at other locations would require careful consideration of the validity of the assumptions for each specific environment.
Stephenson also questions the application of static and equilibrium models and the use of the terms soft and hard rock. These will be considered in turn.

title: Creating peaceful and effective schools through a culture of care

authors: Cavanagh, Tom

subjects: cultural identity

abstract: Many schools in New Zealand, the USA, and elsewhere, are searching for ways to respond positively to the educational achievement disparities that exist between majority culture students and students from minority ethnic and cultural communities. Most of the approaches and strategies that have been implemented to date have either failed, or had minimal positive influence. This paper presents the results of over five years of research, conducted collaboratively by the authors, that has been focused on developing the theory and practice of a 'culture of care' in schools. Using a cultural lens to interpret the findings, these replicated studies offer the promise of positively influencing the culture of schooling in the USA, New Zealand and beyond. Creating a culture of care requires schools and teachers to be cognisant of how the school and classroom values, beliefs and practices make it safe for all students to engage, to contribute, to belong and to feel confident in their own cultural identities.

title: What does 'Ethical Research'' look like? An indigenous perspective on big data & precision medicine

authors: Hudson, Maui

abstract: Southeast Native American Health Data (SENAHD) in partnership with Native BioData Consortium will host an online symposium about the ethical use of Indigenous genetic, environmental, biological, and cultural data. SENAHD is based at UNC Chapel Hill. Our partner, Native BioData Consortium is located on the Cheyanne River Sioux Reservation in South Dakota. NativeBio is one of the most important voices advocating for Indigenous health equity, data sovereignty, and ethical research practices. NativeBio is coming to the Southeast to recognize and include our region in important conversations taking place across Indian Country
