  • Valuing damages and benefits of the altered global nitrogen cycle; lessons for national to global policy support

    Open AccessHans J M van Grinsven, Baojing Gu et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025

    Cost-benefit analysis (CBA) is increasingly used to inform environmental policy decisions by identifying interventions with the highest net societal benefits. Here we focus on CBAs for nitrogen (NCBA), explaining its history, presenting results of a recent first global NCBA and discussing opportunities and limitations. NCBAs have been conducted since the late 1990s for various geographic regions in Europe, the US, and China, primarily to support …

  • Redefining the History and Historiography on American Evangelicalism in the Era of the Religious Right

    Open AccessMatthew Avery SuttonARTICLEJournal of the American Academy…2024Cited by: 3References: 28

    Writing in the shadow of the religious right, a group of historians beginning in the 1980s crafted a new history of American evangelicalism to counter the politicized, right-wing faith of their era. Rather than focus on the movement as a product of specific historical, cultural, and political contexts, they defined it by a set of abstract theological principles. Then they identified those people from the colonial period to the present who fit the…

  • Introduction for Forum on Jonathan Ebel's From Dust They Came

    Open AccessAlison Collis Greene, Matthew Avery SuttonARTICLEChurch History2024

    Lloyd Daniel Barba, assistant professor of religion at Amherst College, and Jonathan H. Ebel, professor and head of Religion at the University of Illinois, have written a pair of books that reframe the study of sacred space and the nature of religious communities while advancing the study of religion in the U.S. West. Each book does important theoretical and interpretive work on its own. Together, the books offer a rich picture of California's Ce…

  • Terrible Revolution

    Matthew Avery SuttonARTICLEMormon Studies Review2022

    For too long, many scholars have argued that Christian groups obsessed with a coming apocalypse are so other-worldly focused that they have little impact on the politics or cultures around them. Those scholars are wrong. Rather than fostering a sense of indifference regarding the coming of an inevitable end of days, apocalypse-obsessed Christians have used their beliefs as a call to battle rather than a justification for withdrawal. God, they ins…

  • Long-term trends of direct nitrous oxide emission from fuel combustion in South Asia

    Open AccessSangeeta Bansal, Nandula Raghuram et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    An increasing concentration of nitrous oxide (N 2 O) in the global atmosphere can perturb the ecological balance, affecting the climate and human life. South Asia, one of the world’s most populous regions, is a hotspot for N 2 O emission. Although agriculture traditionally dominated the region, economic activities are rapidly shifting towards industry and energy services. These activites may become the largest emitters of N 2 O in future. Yet, fe…

  • Global, regional and national trends of atmospheric ammonia derived from a decadal (2008–2018) satellite record

    Open AccessMartin Van Damme, Lieven Clarisse et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Excess atmospheric ammonia (NH 3 ) leads to deleterious effects on biodiversity, ecosystems, air quality and health, and it is therefore essential to monitor its budget and temporal evolution. Hyperspectral infrared satellite sounders provide daily NH 3 observations at global scale for over a decade. Here we use the version 3 of the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) NH 3 dataset to derive global, regional and national trends fro…

  • A framework for nitrogen futures in the shared socioeconomic pathways

    Open AccessDavid Kanter, David R Kanter et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2020Cited by: 6

    Humanity's transformation of the nitrogen cycle has major consequences for ecosystems, climate and human health, making it one of the key environmental issues of our time. Understanding how trends could evolve over the course of the 21 st century is crucial for scientists and decision-makers from local to global scales. Scenario analysis is the primary tool for doing so, and has been applied across all major environmental issues, including nitrog…

  • A dam L aats . Fundamentalist U

    Open AccessMatthew Avery SuttonARTICLEThe American Historical Review2019

    In the last one hundred years, American evangelicals have created their own subculture. They have launched their own stores, recorded their own music, and produced their own movies, among many other things. But nothing has been more instrumental in shaping evangelicals’ sense of themselves and their role in the broader culture than their distinctive Bible institutes, colleges, and universities. Adam Laats’s smart Fundamentalist U traces the histo…

  • Camouflaged as degraded wax

    Open AccessJuergen Burkhardt, Daniel Zinsmeister et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    Some 40 years ago, air pollution caused widespread forest decline in Central Europe and eastern North America. More recently, high levels of tree mortality worldwide are thought to be driven by rising temperatures and increasing atmospheric drought. A neglected factor, possibly contributing to both phenomena, is the foliar accumulation of hygroscopic aerosols. Recent experiments with experimentally added aerosols revealed that foliar aerosol accu…

  • Antifundamentalism in Modern America

    Matthew Avery SuttonARTICLEJournal of the American Academy…2018

    In the third line of Antifundamentalism in Modern America, David Harrington Watt asks, “what can we do to keep fundamentalists from obstructing human progress?” (ix). Not a lot, it turns out, because as Watt masterfully demonstrates, we don’t really know what fundamentalism is, and even if we did, it may not be impeding human progress at all. Watt has written a brilliant book that moves across the twentieth century and into the twenty-first to sh…

  • The Polarizers

    Matthew Avery SuttonARTICLEJournal of American History2018Cited by: 9

    Should the Democratic party become the party of liberalism and the Republican party the standard-bearer of conservatism? This was a hotly debated question in the mid-twentieth century. Things have since changed. Today we know exactly where the parties stand on guns, taxes, abortion, immigration, the expansion of federal social welfare programs, and spending on the military. We live in a polarized nation, and we vote in polarized elections. Sam Ro…

  • The Pew and the Picket Line

    Matthew Avery SuttonARTICLELabor Studies in Working-Class…2017

    In 1844 Karl Marx famously dubbed religion “the opium of the people.” Religion, he believed, distracted the proletariat from the true problems they confronted and encouraged them to remain in subjugation. In 1966, Herbert Gutman called on historians to take more seriously the religious beliefs of the working class. Now, in 2016, a group of mostly junior scholars is seeking to overturn Marx by answering Gutman’s call. Christopher D. Cantwell, Heat…

  • The Vanishing Messiah

    Matthew Avery SuttonARTICLEWestern Historical Quarterly2017

    Francis Schlatter was a faith healer who vanished at the height of his fame in November of 1895. Or he was a faith healer turned womanizer, wife-beater, and drunken scoundrel who died in 1922. Or he was one of a handful of others who claimed to be the final incarnation of Jesus Christ. Whoever the true Francis Schlatter was, we can thank David Wetzel for performing a truly messianic task—he has raised Schlatter from the dead by telling his fascin…

  • Set in Stone

    Matthew Avery SuttonARTICLEJournal of the American Academy…2017

    The Ten Commandments have been in the news a lot in recent years, thanks especially to an Alabama judge who refused to remove them from his courthouse (and who is now running for the United States Senate). On its surface, the controversy over a granite tribute to tablets described in the Bible and delivered by Moses to the Hebrews is a strange one. Who really cares whether the commandments appear in the rotunda of a modern courthouse? A lot of pe…

  • Fortune, Fame, and Desire

    Matthew Avery SuttonARTICLEJournal of American History2017Cited by: 1

    In the modern United States, a person can be famous for being famous. From reality TV to YouTube, those who aspire to be “known” have multiple venues for seeking fortune, fame, and desire. Things were different in the nineteenth century—sort of. Many Americans sought the same kinds of fortune, fame, and desire that today's Internet sensations do, but their route was very different. Sharon Hartman Strom's engaging book narrates the ways a handful …

  • Faith in the New Millennium

    Matthew Avery Sutton, Darren DochukBOOKFaith in the New Millennium2016

    The United States is at a crossroads in its history. Three decades of political campaigns that at times looked remarkably more like religious revivals than political contests may well be coming to an end. Religion, however, continues to play a central role in almost every facet of American culture and political life. The separation of church and state and the disestablishment of religion have fostered a rich religious marketplace characterized by…

  • Synthesis and review

    Open AccessStefan Reis, Mateete Bekunda et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    One of the 'grand challenges' of this age is the anthropogenic impact exerted on the nitrogen cycle. Issues of concern range from an excess of fixed nitrogen resulting in environmental pressures for some regions, while for other regions insufficient fixed nitrogen affects food security and may lead to health risks. To address these issues, nitrogen needs to be managed in an integrated fashion, at a variety of scales (from global to local). Such m…

  • The UK particulate matter air pollution episode of March–April 2014

    Open AccessMassimo Vieno, Mathew R Heal et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    A period of elevated surface concentrations of airborne particulate matter (PM) in the UK in spring 2014 was widely associated in the UK media with a Saharan dust plume. This might have led to over-emphasis on a natural phenomenon and consequently to a missed opportunity to inform the public and provide robust evidence for policy-makers about the observed characteristics and causes of this pollution event. In this work, the EMEP4UK regional atmos…
