A review of data challenges and opportunities for large-scale assessments of mining’s social and environmental impacts
Mining impacts extend beyond the mine site, embedded in the local context. • Public disclosures fall short of providing meaningful information for stakeholders. • Alternative data sources are needed to complement corporate reporting. • Fitness-for-purpose principles and hybrid approaches may improve data limitations. • Open-access advanced computing platforms as decision-support tools for stakeholders. The global shift towards decarbonization has…
Environmental and social impacts from desalinated water supply projects
Large-scale desalinated water supply is increasingly being employed to mitigate water scarcity in arid regions. This alternative water source, while potentially reducing water shortage, has adverse environmental and social impacts, which should be considered at a project and regional scale if multiple projects exist. A methodological framework based on evidence from environmental impact studies is proposed to identify the main environmental and s…
Sustainable integration of desalinated seawater into regional water supply networks using a participatory modelling framework
Water scarcity is a critical issue worldwide and has become a major constraint on socio-economic development. Seawater desalination is an appealing adaptation option in regions with access to the coast; however, it has sustainability challenges that require careful consideration. Two critical challenges are: how to manage the spectrum of potential adverse social and environmental impacts; and how to provide fair and sustainable water access benef…
Two Decades of Land-Use Dynamics in an Urbanizing Tropical Watershed
Java’s Brantas River Basin (BRB) is an increasingly urbanized tropical watershed with significant economic and ecological importance; yet knowledge of its land-use changes dynamics and drivers as well as their importance have barely been explored. This is the case for many other tropical watersheds in Java, Indonesia and beyond. This study of the BRB (1) quantifies the land-use changes in the period 1995–2015, (2) determines the patterns of land-…
Dissent After Disruption
On 18 May 1843, the retiring moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, David Welsh, led a procession of some two hundred evangelical Presbyterian ministers from St. Andrew’s Church in Edinburgh to the nearby Tanfield Hall, where they and several other clerics and elders constituted themselves as the Free Church of Scotland. This moment, the “Great Disruption”—“the most important event in Victorian Scotland”—had profound implica…
Conventicles
This article uncovers the dynamics of presbyterian conventicling after the Restoration settlement of 1661–2. In contrast to traditional accounts that have tended to foreground the exploits of dissenting clergy and especially itinerant preachers, particular attention is paid to the participation and organisational strategies of lay activists. It is argued that conventicles were formidable not only as sites of alternative worship, but as a well-org…

Representation and resistance in Restoration Scotland
This article presents a Scottish case study of early modern ideas on parliamentary representation and popular political participation. By scrutinizing the context and content of a treatise published in 1669 by the lawyer James Stewart of Goodtrees, the article seeks to demonstrate that views had shifted on the nature of the Scottish Parliament. In addition, it is argued that the promulgation of Scotland's covenants – that is, the National Covenan…
The Hydro-economics of Mining
Joint research between economists and hydrologists increasingly contributes to optimising the economic value gained from water, while safeguarding its social and environmental values. The application of hydro-economic analysis to mining regions, however, is limited. This paper examines why this is the case and how to confront it. The paper focuses on identifying and describing features of large-scale mines and mine regions that are challenging to…
Understanding flood regime changes in Europe
There is growing concern that flooding is becoming more frequent and severe in Europe. A better understanding of flood regime changes and their drivers is therefore needed. The paper reviews the current knowledge on flood regime changes in European rivers that has been obtained through two approaches. The first approach is the detection of change based on observed flood events. Current methods are reviewed together with their challenges and oppor…
The Personal Meaning of Participation
This study suggests that the personal meaning of participation, previously referred to as commitment and involvement, may be appropriately represented by the concept of enduring involvement. The theoretical basis for the development of an instrument to measure enduring involvement in a recreation context is discussed and the results of the administration of the instrument in a beach camping setting in southeast Queensland are reported. These resu…
South
In the austral summer 1986–87, the 75th anniversary of Amundsen's conquest of the South Pole, a sledging party of four from a private expedition, 90 ° South , set out to retrace his route. This was the culmination of five years of preparations, in which sufficient international support was raised to enable the expedition to reach Antarctica and operate independently, using its own ship, MV Aurora ... The expedition's Twin Otter aircraft, flying f…
