The Environmental–Social Nexus of Subnational Conflict in Pakistan
Subnational conflict in Pakistan is an understudied area in academic literature despite being ranked as one of the least peaceful countries in the world. Several reports have identified South Asia as particularly vulnerable in the context of climate change and the changing geopolitical landscape; however, there is little understanding of the drivers of conflict at more local scales. This study provides an exploratory analysis of subnational confl…
Hospital Selection Patterns for Emergency Surgical Care
BACKGROUND: Structural inequities are pervasive in the US emergency care system and disproportionately affect socially vulnerable neighborhoods. Spatial patterns of hospital access for patients requiring emergency surgical care are influenced by health system structure; however, neighborhood-level variation and its association with clinical outcomes has not yet been characterized. OBJECTIVE: Examine variation in spatial patterns of hospital acces…
Urban Sprawl and Subjective Well-Being
Subjective well-being (SWB) has recently gained significant attention as an important indicator of measuring quality of life. Based on the Twitter Sentiment Geographical Index, this study analyzes the spatial distribution characteristic of county-level SWB across the United States. We apply multiple linear regression, structural equation modeling (SEM), and geographically weighted SEM to identify the overall effects of urban sprawl on SWB, examin…
Assessing access
The Fremont Frontier
The Fremont provide an important case study to examine the resilience of ancient farmers to climatic downturns, because they lived at the far northern margin of intensive maize agriculture in the American West, where the constraints on maize production are made abundantly clear. Using a tree-ring and simulation-based reconstruction of average annual precipitation and maize growing degree days, along with cost-distance to perennial streams, we mod…

Growing the Ancient Maya Social-Ecological System from the Bottom Up
Archaeological data can be represented in quantitative models to test theories of societal growth, development, and resilience. This chapter describes the results of simulations employing integrated agent-based, cellular automata, and network models to represent elements of the ancient Maya social-ecological system. The purpose of the model is to better understand the complex dynamics of the Maya civilization and to test quantitative indicators o…
Active Transportation on a Complete Street
Few studies of walkability include both perceived and audited walkability measures. We examined perceived walkability (Neighborhood Environment Walkability Scale-Abbreviated, NEWS-A) and audited walkability (Irvine-Minnesota Inventory, IMI) measures for residents living within 2 km of a "complete street"-one renovated with light rail, bike lanes, and sidewalks. For perceived walkability, we found some differences but substantial similarity betwee…

Holocene vegetation history in Romanian Subcarpathians
Pollen analysis from a peat core 7.0 m in length, taken from a bog near Bisoca, in a mid-altitude area of the Buzăului Subcarpathian mountains, is used to reconstruct the postglacial vegetation history of the region. The vegetation record, which is supported by twelve 14 C dates, starts at the end of the Late Glacial period. At the Late Glacial/Holocene transition, open vegetation was replaced by forest, suggesting a fast response to climatic war…
Pollen-inferred Late-Glacial and Holocene climate in southern Balkans (Lake Maliq)
A late Pleistocene long pollen record from Lake Urmia, Nw Iran
A palynological study based on two 100-m long cores from Lake Urmia in northwestern Iran provides a vegetation record spanning 200 ka, the longest pollen record for the continental interior of the Near East. During both penultimate and last glaciations, a steppe of Artemisia and Poaceae dominated the upland vegetation with a high proportion of Chenopodiaceae in both upland and lowland saline ecosystems. While Juniperus and deciduous Quercus trees…
