From last to lost chance tourism
Melting glaciers as symbols of tourism paradoxes
Dead Glacier Infrastructures
Glacier funerals are presumed to bring awareness to glaciers, acknowledge climate issues, and provoke change. Yet in the area surrounding Okjökull, the site of the first and perhaps most famous glacier funeral on the planet, the “dead” glacier’s remains are relatively ignored, infrequently visited, and silenced, even as its ice is still visible and melting. This paper wonders: what happens to a glacier after its funeral? I trace the meltwater of …

Futuremaking in a disaster zone: Everyday climate change adaptation amongst Quechua women in the Peruvian Cordillera Blanca
Better Together? The Values, Obstacles, Opportunities, and Prospects for Collaborative Research in Environmental History
Environmental historians have long argued for the value of collaborative research, many have called for more of it, and some have experimented with new forms of teamwork. Yet data gathered from three prominent journals—Environmental History, Environment and History, and the Journal of Historical Geography—show that, over the fifteen-year period from 2006 through 2020, coauthorship on published research remained remarkably rare, with no discernibl…
Sea and Land: An Environmental History of the Caribbean
With 13 nations and 24 distinct polities spread amid a million square miles, the Caribbean is vast, complicated, multifaceted, and very difficult to condense into a single narrative about its environmental history. Perhaps this explains why relatively few environmental histories of the whole Caribbean region exist, especially histories spanning thousands of years. This book strives to accomplish that task. It mainly focuses on the period from 149…
The impact of sexual orientation on how men experience disordered eating and drive for muscularity
Research into disordered eating in men paints a mixed picture regarding the relationship to sexual orientation and muscularity. Method: Participants completed the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire 6.0 and Drive for Muscularity scale via Qualtrics. Results: Gay men experience more symptoms related to body attitudes and shape and weight concerns. Heterosexual men experience more muscularity and restricting related symptoms. Bisexual men gen…

Reframing Antarctica’s ice loss: Impacts of cryospheric change on local human activity
Physical scientists, social scientists, humanities scholars, and journalists have all framed Antarctica as a place of global importance—as a laboratory for scientific research, as a strategic site for geopolitical agendas, and more recently as a source of melting ice that could catastrophically inundate populations worldwide. Yet, the changing cryosphere impacts society within Antarctica as well, and this article expands the focus of Antarctic ic…
Narratives of ice loss: New approaches to shrinking glaciers and climate change adaptation
Investigating the Components of Body Image Disturbance Within Eating Disorders
Body image disturbance has been highlighted as a common characteristic within the development and maintenance of clinical eating disorders (EDs), represented by alterations in an individual's bodily experience. However, whilst the perceptual stability of the sense of body ownership has been investigated in ED patients, the stability of the sense of body agency in those with ED is yet to be examined. Therefore, body ownership and body agency were …

Adapting to Climate Hazards in the Peruvian Andes
A focus on the various factors shaping climate adaptation over time—particularly the social, economic, and political dimensions—fosters a reframing and broadening of the climate change problem
Ice Cores and the Temporalities of the Global Environment
Ice cores from Antarctica, Greenland, and the high-mountain cryosphere have become essential sources of evidence on the climate dating back nearly 800,000 years. Earth scientists use ice cores to understand the chemical composition of the atmosphere, which has been trapped in the air bubbles between the ice crystals as they form annually; this knowledge also feeds into modeling the climate's future. Ice cores are not simply important sources of e…
Impacts of Glacier Recession and Declining Meltwater on Mountain Societies
Glacierized mountains are often referred to as our world's water towers because glaciers both store water over time and regulate seasonal stream flow, releasing runoff during dry seasons when societies most need water. Ice loss thus has the potential to affect human societies in diverse ways, including irrigation, agriculture, hydropower, potable water, livelihoods, recreation, spirituality, and demography. Unfortunately, research focusing on the…
Glaciers, gender, and science: A feminist glaciology framework for global environmental change research
Glaciers are key icons of climate change and global environmental change. However, the relationships among gender, science, and glaciers - particularly related to epistemological questions about the production of glaciological knowledge - remain understudied. This paper thus proposes a feminist glaciology framework with four key components: 1) knowledge producers; (2) gendered science and knowledge; (3) systems of scientific domination; and (4) a…
Forum: Climate Change and Environmental History
This Forum explores global climate change, one of this century's most prominent environmental issues. Authors answer two critical questions: (1) How does the study of climate history enrich the field of environmental history more broadly? (2) How can environmental historians contribute to present-day understandings of and responses to global climate change? This introductory essay (and the Forum more generally) contribute to both environmental hi…
Migration Amidst Climate Rigidity Traps: Resource Politics and Social–Ecological Possibilism in Honduras and Peru
According to dominant narratives about adaptation to climate change, those facing worst-case scenarios, without means at their disposal to adapt in situ, face an ineluctable set of adaptation strategies that ultimately includes the permanent abandonment of geographic spaces rendered uninhabitable and unproductive for human use. Yet environmental stress and adaptive capacity are distributed unevenly, and power structures play a role in fashioning …
Climate, Medicine, and Peruvian Health Resorts
In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, the Peruvian Andes ranked as a key international destination for those afflicted with one of the world's most deadly diseases, tuberculosis. Physicians, scientists, policy makers, and patients believed that high-elevation mountain climates worldwide would help cure the disease. Historical processes driving the creation of Andean health resorts, which are understudied in the historiography, uncov…
New Geographies of Water and Climate Change in Peru: Coupled Natural and Social Transformations in the Santa River Watershed
Projections of future water shortages in the world's glaciated mountain ranges have grown increasingly dire. Although water modeling research has begun to examine changing environmental parameters, the inclusion of social scenarios has been very limited. Yet human water use and demand are vital for long-term adaptation, risk reduction, and resource allocation. Concerns about future water supplies are particularly pronounced on Peru's arid Pacific…
Climate and history: A critical review of historical climatology and climate change historiography
This paper provides a critical analysis of recent climate history (or historical climatology) scholarship. It identifies four key subfields in this historiography of climate change. First, it examines scholarship on climate reconstructions that use a variety of innovative historical sources to document past climatic conditions. Second, it analyzes scholarship on social impacts and responses to climate change. This literature is prolific with sign…
Unintended effects of technology on climate change adaptation: An historical analysis of water conflicts below Andean Glaciers
Mountaineers and Engineers: The Politics of International Science, Recreation, and Environmental Change in Twentieth-Century Peru
During the 1930s, the German and Austrian Alpine Society sponsored three mountaineering-scientific expeditions to the Peruvian Andes, focusing especially on the Cordillera Blanca and adjacent valley known as the Callejón de Huaylas. They climbed mountains, conducted scientific studies, produced detailed maps, explored the highlands, and interacted with Peruvian intellectuals. Similar German expeditions went to Asia, Africa, and elsewhere in South…

The History of Ice: How Glaciers Became an Endangered Species
In recent decades, glaciers have become both a key icon for global warming and a type of endangered species. But to understand why glaciers are so inexorably tied to global warming and why people lament the loss of ice, it is necessary to look beyond climate science and glacier melting—to turn additionally to culture, history, and power relations. Probing historical views of glaciers demonstrates that the recent emergence of an “endangered glacie…

Latin American Environmental History: Current Trends, Interdisciplinary Insights, and Future Directions
Latin American environmental history has traditionally focused on three categories of research: colonialism, capitalism, and conservation. It has also emphasized tragic tales of resource extraction and environmental destruction, primarily at the hands of imperial powers. Though important issues, these stories of degradation and exploitation also constrain the historiography. To broaden the field and push its theoretical grounding in new direction…

Inventing Caribbean Climates: How Science, Medicine, and Tourism Changed Tropical Weather from Deadly to Healthy
This article examines how four major historical factors--geographical features, social conditions, medicine, and tourism--affected European and North American views of the tropical Caribbean climate from approximately 1750 to 1950. It focuses on the British West Indies, a region barely examined in the historiography of climate, and examines the views of physicians, residents, government officials, travelers, and missionaries. International percep…

In the Shadow of Melting Glaciers: Climate change and Andean society
"Climate change is producing profound changes globally. Yet we still know little about how it affects real people in real places on a daily basis. This book illustrates in vivid detail how people in the Andes, where global climate change has generated the world's most deadly glacial lake, outburst floods, and glacier avalanches, have grappled with the effects of climate change and ensuing natural disasters for more than half a century."--[book co…
Commodities, Colonial Science, and Environmental Change in Latin American History
Recent scholarship on Latin American environmental history builds on and enriches the field's traditional orientation toward colonialism, capitalism, and conservation. This essay analyzes four themes present in this new environmental history research: the transnational study of commodities that incorporates global, national, and local scales; the role of the state in shaping historical human-environment interactions; the social and cultural produ…
