Advancing an Environmental Justice-Centered Approach to Understanding Cumulative Impacts
In recent decades, environmental justice experts have advanced understanding of cumulative impacts, defined as the harm that can result when multiple forms of environmental and socioeconomic distress converge on a place and compound through time. Concurrently, U.S. industry leaders have launched climate mitigation projects that often exacerbate environmental injustice in overburdened communities. We consider this critical disconnect, drawing from…
Overlooked and extensive ghost forest formation across the US Atlantic coast
Beyond environmental harm
The peer-reviewed literature presents overwhelming evidence that fossil fuel based energy infrastructure projects are responsible for lower residential property values, environmental destruction and pollution that decrease residents' quality of life. These projects also challenge local people's sense of identity and even the threat of such a project can make residents question their sense of place. As evidence, we first present a bibliographic an…
Saltwater intrusion and sea level rise threatens U.S. rural coastal landscapes and communities
The United States (U.S.) coastal plain is subject to rising sea levels, land subsidence, more severe coastal storms, and more intense droughts. These changes lead to inputs of marine salts into freshwater-dependent coastal systems, creating saltwater intrusion. The penetration of salinity into the coastal interior is exacerbated by groundwater extraction and the high density of agricultural canals and ditches throughout much of the rural U.S. lan…
Does shale gas development impact property values in Central Appalachia? A mixed methods critical exploration
Increased shale gas extraction through hydraulic fracturing and its distribution through shale gas pipelines have brought about innumerable socioeconomic consequences, both tangibly and intangibly. Evidence remains unclear on what are the impacts of shale gas developments on property values. By employing a mixed method approach, combining original data collected in the Marcellus Shale through interviews and a survey, and an analysis of the Atlant…
Stories We Tell
Extractive research "talks over" Indigenous peoples, silencing our voices by taking both knowledge and materials away from our communities for colonial projects that erase and devalue our identities. Left unanswered, such research can bloom into disinformation that undermines tribal sovereignty. Lumbee people, who are Indigenous to the southeastern United States, have been subjects of extractive research for more than a century. Extractive resear…
Evaluating the effects of land-use change and future climate change on vulnerability of coastal landscapes to saltwater intrusion
The exposure of freshwater-dependent coastal ecosystems to saltwater is a present-day impact of climate and land-use changes in many coastal regions, with the potential to harm freshwater and terrestrial biota, alter biogeochemical cycles and reduce agricultural yields. Land-use activities associated with artificial drainage infrastructure (canals, ditches, and drains) could exacerbate saltwater exposure. However, studies assessing the effects of…
Sea level rise impacts on rural coastal social-ecological systems and the implications for decision making
Water in the Lumbee World
This article explores relationships between Lumbee people and the riverine landscapes of their home. I draw upon my lived experience as a Lumbee person and my training as an environmental scientist to evaluate the riverine environment of the Lumbee River as both a template for change and a fragile resource. The river shapes Lumbee culture and community, on the one hand, and it is subject to human impacts, on the other. Here, I examine the bidirec…
Influence of basin characteristics on the effectiveness and downstream reach of interbasin water transfers
Interbasin water transfers are globally important water management strategies, yet little is known about their role in the hydrologic cycle at regional and continental scales. Specifically, there is a dearth of centralized information on transfer locations and characteristics, and few analyses place transfers into a relevant hydrological context. We assessed hydrological characteristics of interbasin transfers (IBTs) in the conterminous US using …
