Sedimentary legacy and the disturbing recurrence of the human in long-term ecological research
Even as new elements of a research infrastructure are added, older parts continue to exert persistent and consequential influence. We introduce the concept of sedimentary legacy to describe the relationship between infrastructure and research objects. Contrary to common accounts of legacy infrastructure that underscore lock-in, static, or constraining outcomes, sedimentary legacy emphasizes how researchers adapt infrastructure to support the inve…
Innovation and legacy in energy knowledge infrastructures
Adaptive Epistemologies: Conceptualizing Adaptation to Climate Change in Environmental Science
This article explores how scientists adapt to a changing climate. To do this, we bring examples from a case study of salmon habitat restorationists in the Columbia River Basin into conversation with concepts from previous work on change and stability in knowledge infrastructures and scientific practice. In order to adapt, ecological restorationists are increasingly relying on predictive modeling tools, as well as initiating broader changes in the…

Governing technological zones, making national renewable energy futures
Making Global Problems Local: Understanding Large-scale Environmental Issues Using Ethnographic Methods
Anticipatory practices: Shifting baselines and environmental imaginaries of ecological restoration in the Columbia River Basin
Ecological restorationists working to restore species and habitats must make decisions about how to monitor the effectiveness of their actions. In order to do this, they must determine historical baselines for populations by measuring and monitoring reference habitat sites: analog ecological systems that act as controls for comparison. Yet as climate change alters what is possible in terms of habitat restoration, drawing baselines for recovery ha…
A systems thinking approach for eliciting mental models from visual boundary objects in hydropolitical contexts: A case study from the Pilcomayo River Basin

Ecosystem Services as Boundary Objects for Transdisciplinary Collaboration
The role of law in adaptive governance
The term "governance" encompasses both governmental and nongovernmental participation in collective choice and action. Law dictates the structure, boundaries, rules, and processes within which governmental action takes place, and in doing so becomes one of the focal points for analysis of barriers to adaptation as the effects of climate change are felt. Adaptive governance must therefore contemplate a level of flexibility and evolution in governm…
