Abstract:
Hurricane Floyd crossed eastern North Carolina in September 1999, causing the largest disaster in the state's history. The majority of the damage was caused by flooding associated with heavy rainfall rather than by high winds or coastal erosion. There are a number of physical features of eastern North Carolina that contributed to making this flood so severe. When these features/factors come together in a unique way, extreme events such as the flooding from Hurricane Floyd occur.

Abstract:
Environmental education emphasizes that the entire world is linked ecologically. Climatic phenomena in one region may influence conditions in other regions, even at great distances. Edgell argues that there is a need for more studies on global atmospheric circulation systems and their links to inter-regional climate patterns that affect southeastern North Carolina.

Abstract:
The crab processing industry and the region of eastern North Carolina have a long history together, beginning in the early 1900s in the wake of the declining fin fishery. In the early 1990s the crab processing industry faced a labor crisis based on the inability of the industry to continue to recruit workers from local labor sources. An alternative labor force was found in Mexican migrant women under the H2-B temporary worker program. This change in the labor pool is shown to be a reflection of broader transformations in the regional economic base, social ideologies, and the internationalization of the industry itself.

Abstract:
Torrential rainfall from hurricanes Dennis and Floyd produced the great flood of 1999 for North Carolina. Many accounts touted the event as \"the flood of the century\" and reported the probability of experiencing such an event as one in 400 or 500 years. Although the magnitude of the flood is unquestionable, to assign such a definition to the flood provides an opportunity to reexamine flood frequency analysis and the accuracy of recurrence interval estimates.

Abstract:
The availability of corporate finance is of critical importance to local and regional development. Since equity finance is the only method of capital acquisition that is not collateralized, the firms that compete most effectively for it are thought to be stronger competitors in the current marketplace. It was found that equity investment in North Carolina is highly concentrated both spatially and sectorally.
