Exploring sustainable development within rural regions in Ghana
Sustainable development involves multi‐level, multi‐actor and multi‐faceted processes and interrelations for which, ideally, comprehensive theoretical frameworks are required to understand the nature, dynamics and heterogeneity of changes generating greater sustainability in rural areas. Studies have utilised the rural web framework to explain these processes and interactions, but its application is lacking in sub‐Saharan Africa. This study addre…
Advancing environmental sustainability
The goal of simultaneously increasing economic development while mitigating ecological disbenefits is a significant challenge for many countries. There is a growing recognition that greater attention must be given to environmental concerns to maintain and improve biodiversity and generate positive ecological outcomes as part of measures to meet the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Many countries have increased their reliance …
Climatic control of the biomass-burning decline in the Americas after ad 1500
The significance and cause of the decline in biomass burning across the Americas after ad 1500 is a topic of considerable debate. We synthesized charcoal records (a proxy for biomass burning) from the Americas and from the remainder of the globe over the past 2000 years, and compared these with paleoclimatic records and population reconstructions. A distinct post-ad 1500 decrease in biomass burning is evident, not only in the Americas, but also g…
Food Waste Bins
Recent years have seen an increasing number of councils begin separate food waste collections from domestic premises, a change that has resulted in householders having to sort food waste and keep it in separate bins until collection. Yet bins - of any kind - have been subject to little investigation, despite being a central element of the waste infrastructure. This paper attends to this omission by examining food bins. First of all, it explores t…
Organic Public Geographies
A new field of “public geographies” is taking shape (Fuller 2008) in geography's mainstream journals. While much is “traditional”, with intellectuals disseminating academic research via non- academic outlets (Castree 2006; Mitchell 2008; Oslender 2007), less visible is the “organic” work and its “more involved intellectualizing, pursued through working with area-based or single-interest groups, in which the process itself may be the outcome” (War…
Pleistocene Megafaunal Collapse, Novel Plant Communities, and Enhanced Fire Regimes in North America
Demise of the Megafauna Approximately 10,000 years ago, the Pleistocene-Holocene deglaciation in North America produced widespread biotic and environmental change, including extinctions of megafauna, reorganization of plant communities, and increased wildfire. The causal links and sequences of these changes remain unclear. Gill et al. (p. 1100 ; see the Perspective by Johnson ) unravel these connections in an analysis of pollen, charcoal, and the…
Philosophy and Mystification
Sporormiella and the late Holocene extinctions in Madagascar
Fossil spores of the dung fungus Sporormiella spp. in sediment cores from throughout Madagascar provide new information concerning megafaunal extinction and the introduction of livestock. Sporormiella percentages are very high in prehuman southwest Madagascar, but at the site with best stratigraphic resolution the spore declines sharply by ≈1,720 yr B.P. (radiocarbon years ago). Within a few centuries there is a concomitant rise in microscopic ch…
Landfill as a Future Waste Management Option in England
Municipal solid waste (MSW) management issues have moved to the fore of the public agenda, with levels of concern and activity by citizens and governments world-wide reaching unprecedented levels. New waste management techniques are being developed in response to this situation, but many are in their infancy and are not proving to be economic in England. Landfill remains the dominant waste management method employed by waste disposal authorities …
