  • Inequality in Risk-Taking

    Open AccessMelissa Rogers, Yuzhu Zeng et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Political Science2021References: 7

    Among the many striking features of the COVID 19 pandemic is the geographic heterogeneity of its incidence and its disproportionate effects on low income people. We examine links between individual risk and COVID 19 outcomes in the federal context in Mexico characterized by high socioeconomic and political heterogeneity. Using highly detailed individual mobility data for five Mexican cities, we document the relationship between local income and e…

  • Detecting Destroyed Communities in Remote Areas with Personal Electronic Device Data

    Open AccessAndrew Marx, Mia Poynor et al.ARTICLEISPRS International Journal of…2020

    Large-scale humanitarian disasters often disproportionately damage poor communities. This effect is compounded when communities are remote with limited connectivity and response is slow. While humanitarian response organizations are increasingly using a wide range of satellites to detect damaged areas, these images can be delayed days or weeks and may not tell the story of how many or where people are affected. In order to address the need of ide…

  • Noncommunicable Disease (NCD) strategic plans in low- and lower-middle income Sub-Saharan Africa

    Open AccessChantelle Boudreaux, Christopher Noble et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2020

    BACKGROUND: Global efforts to address NCDs focus primarily on 4-by-4 interventions - interventions to prevent and treat four groups of conditions affecting mainly older adults (some cardiovascular disease and cancers, type 2 diabetes, chronic respiratory disease) and four associated risk factors (alcohol, tobacco, poor diets, and physical inactivity). However, the NCD burden in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is composed of a more diverse set of conditi…

  • Combining Unmanned Aerial Systems and Satellite Data to Monitor Phenological Changes in Tropical Forests

    Andrew Marx, Donald A McFarlane et al.ARTICLECase Studies in the Environment2019

    The migration of vegetation under the influence of climate change is of great interest to ecologists, but can be difficult to quantify—especially in less accessible landscapes. Monitoring land cover change through remote sensing has become the best solution, especially with the use of unmanned aerial systems (UASs; drones) as low-cost remote sensing platforms are able to collect data at high spatial and spectral resolutions. Unfortunately, in the…

  • A comparison of all-cause and cause-specific mortality by household socioeconomic status across seven INDEPTH network health and demographic surveillance systems in sub-Saharan Africa

    Open AccessMatthew M Coates, Mamusu Kamanda et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2019

    BACKGROUND: Understanding socioeconomic disparities in all-cause and cause-specific mortality can help inform prevention and treatment strategies. OBJECTIVES: To quantify cause-specific mortality rates by socioeconomic status across seven health and demographic surveillance systems (HDSS) in five countries (Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, and Nigeria) in the INDEPTH Network in sub-Saharan Africa. METHODS: We linked demographic residence data…

  • Shifting landscapes

    Open AccessKimberly J Quesnel, Newsha Ajami et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    Urban outdoor water conservation and efficiency offer high potential for demand-side management, but irrigation, greenness, and climate interlinks must be better understood to design optimal policies. To identify paired transitions during drought, we matched parcel-level water use data from smart, dedicated irrigation meters with high-spatial resolution, multispectral aerial imagery. We examined changes across 72 non-residential parcels using pot…

  • Two Comments on the Energy Crisis

    Andrew Marx, Andrew E Marx et al.ARTICLEMonthly Review1974

    Frank Ackerman and Arthur MacEwan's article on the energy crisis ("Energy and Power: Are We Running Out of Gas?" [Monthly Review, January 1974]) raises a number of important questions and introduces a variety of valuable insights. Nevertheless, it seems to me that the article errs in attributing the current "crisis" entirely to oil company machinations. While the oil magnates have clearly been involved in a highly profitable shell-game, as Ackerm…
