Water for Fire: Framing Water Governance Debates During the 2025 Los Angeles Fires
Open AccessA R Brown, Adriana Zuniga-Teran et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Communication2026
In January 2025, several wildfires broke out in Los Angeles County, California. Some fire hydrants failed early on, thus initiating debates about the state’s long-term water challenges. Disasters like this may facilitate important discussions about broader environmental issues, and these are shaped by media coverage. As such, it is important to examine patterns in the media landscape during and after disasters. In this study, we conducted a quali…

Aligning green infrastructure to sustainable development: A geographical contribution to an ongoing debate
Open AccessLaura De Vito, C Staddon et al.ARTICLEArea2022References: 37
Blue and green infrastructure (BGI) is increasingly viewed as a promising solution to promoting a shift beyond traditionally engineered “grey” approaches towards more socially and environmentally sustainable infrastructure systems. The specific insights of geographical scholarship on how to address issues of processes, scale, and place in BGI design, implementation, and long‐term management would help unlock the potential for BGI to be appropriat…

Urban water security: A comparative study of cities in the arid Americas
Open AccessRolando E Díaz Caravantes, Adriana Zuniga-Teran et al.ARTICLEEnvironment and Urbanization2020Cited by: 3References: 3
In this study we analyse how three cities in the arid Americas have addressed urban growth while facing water scarcity: Hermosillo, Mexico; Mendoza, Argentina; and Tucson, USA. We use the urban water security framework to examine five domains of water management: sociodemographic, economic, technological, ecological and governance (SETEG). Our analysis indicates that, in spite of water scarcity, urban growth has been promoted in the three cities.…

Neighborhood Design, Physical Activity, and Wellbeing: Applying the Walkability Model
Open AccessAdriana Zuniga-Teran, Barron J Orr et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2017
Neighborhood design affects lifestyle physical activity, and ultimately human wellbeing. There are, however, a limited number of studies that examine neighborhood design types. In this research, we examine four types of neighborhood designs: traditional development, suburban development, enclosed community, and cluster housing development, and assess their level of walkability and their effects on physical activity and wellbeing. We examine signi…

Implications and Challenges for the Energy Sector in Brazil and Mexico to Meet the Carbon Emission Reductions Committed in Their INDC during the COP 21-CMP11
Open AccessJanaina Camile Pasqual, Rodolfo Peon Anaya et al.ARTICLEDesenvolvimento e Meio Ambiente2016
Apesar de contribuir com apenas 1% das emissões globais, duas das maiores economias da América Latina, Brasil e México, estão fortemente empenhadas em reduzir suas emissões de dióxido de carbono (CO2) em 43% e 40%, respectivamente, até o ano de 2030. O alcance desses objetivos não só exige a implementação de inovações técnicas, fontes de energia mais limpas e participação ativa de todos os setores, mas também demandará mudanças significativas nas…
