Hi, I have found a great article you could use to begin work on your chapter, it is titled Solastalgia: the distress caused by environmental change. The article will help you formulate your overview and definition titles of your chapter. the article also talks about the difference between solastalgia and nostalgia which I think would be interesting for you to include. The article also focuses on two applications including drought in rural NSW and coal mining in the Hunter Valley, these examples would be useful if you are considering including case studies in your chapter. The article can be accessed through EBSCOhost on the university library page. All the best !! http://web.b.ebscohost.com.ezproxy.canberra.edu.au/ehost/detail/detail?vid=51&sid=bb733175-f514-4060-870e-f258f4ca7c78%40sessionmgr120&hid=115&bdata=#AN=34660013&db=pbh --LeoDean1993 (discuss • contribs) 07:26, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I just thought I'd contribute a little since I find your topic really interesting :) As the above user commented, it could be a really good idea to relate solastalgia back to examples that are relevant to us here in Australia. I found a few articles which may be of help, as they involve changes to the environment that are frequently experienced in Australia. Also, you might want to consider cutting your case study in the overview down a little if you reach the word limit. You could probably communicate what solastalgia is in fewer words anyway, which would make your overview much more effective with regards to the marking criteria. Good luck with the rest! --Qt3141 (discuss • contribs) 00:34, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
 * This article is about the effects of wildfires, and is while it is using American data it could be quite relevant. An Ecosystems and Vulnerable Populations Perspective on Solastalgia and Psychological Distress After a Wildfire by David Eisenman, Sarah McCaffrey, Ian Donatello and Grant Marshal
 * This is a good article if you want to look at the effects of individual differences on solastalgia as well, as this study demonstrated that there were differences between males and females. Solastalgia and the Gendered Nature of Climate Change: An Example from Erub Island, Torres Strait
 * And this one is just another good local example of solastalgia Environmental Change and Human Health in Upper Hunter Communities of New South Wales, Australia

Hi!! Your topic is so interesting and was a really great read!! Just one thing be careful that you do not go over the word limit because it seems as though you already have a lot of theory and content on Solastaligia --Lizzy94 (discuss • contribs) 05:05, 22 October 2016 (UTC)U3083568 (discuss • contribs) 16:05, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

The overview worked well to capture your audience!
That story really sucked me in. I'm sure it will do the same for other readers too. I look forward to reading this when you have all of your info up! I had never even heard of the term "solastalgia" until now. Makes you wonder how the people in Syria etc are coping... I guess the only advice I can give is in regards to the size of your overview.. it might hurt your word count a bit. I'm not sure how you'd cut it down though, it flows so well! Good work so far :) Chot24 (discuss • contribs) 01:22, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
