An Evaluation Framework for “Provenancing” to Enhance Te Tiriti o Waitangi Responsiveness in Environmental Science Research
The Aotearoa Impacts and Mitigation of Microplastics (AIM 2 ) government funded research project supported biophysical and social science research to better understand the sources and environmental impacts of microplastics contaminants and to reduce the impacts on the environment. A Māori‐centered co‐design approach resulted in a Tiriti Responsiveness Evaluation Framework (TREF) and insights on how research can better support meaningful inquiry w…
Mapping Rural Local Government Capacity for Climate Resilience Projects in the United States
Local government capacity gaps are primary barriers to implementing climate adaptation and disaster resilience projects. While over 85% of US municipalities have fewer than 10,000 people, the extent to which capacity restricts adaptation in rural governments is not understood. This research addresses that gap by developing a national Rural Capacity Index using indicators that highlight challenges disproportionately faced by rural places. When res…
Can infrastructure help ‘left behind’ places ‘catch up?’ Theorizing the role of built infrastructure in regional development
The application of infrastructure as a regional development tool in resource peripheries has received little direct inquiry in both policy and scholarly debates. This article synthesizes theoretical and empirical directions across economic geography, regional studies and critical infrastructure studies to form a research agenda for investigating the role of built infrastructure in the development of ‘left behind’ peripheral regions in the USA. We…
Mass balance, accumulation dynamics and high-altitude warfare
Since 1984 the Indian and Pakistani armies have been locked in the world’s highest war on Siachen Glacier in the Karakoram Himalaya. This remote location is the world’s only nuclear trijunction as well as a source of drinking water for significant portions of India and Pakistan, and its possession is considered by both governments to be key to their national security. In the past, alpine battles were fought predominantly on glaciers with a precip…
Exploitable ambiguities & the unruliness of natural resource dependence
Assessing, monitoring, and addressing boomtown impacts in the US
Identifying strategies for conducting impact assessment (IA) suited to unconventional fossil fuel (UFF) development, and practical opportunities to apply them, is an important activity given the continued importance of shale and other UFF energy resources. This paper offers a case study of an iterative public health planning process – Mobilizing Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP) – that produced a version of integrated IA over a 10-y…
Geographies of Impact and the Impacts of Geography
Tradeoffs, balancing, and adaptation in the agriculture-oil and gas nexus
