Climate Exposures Increase the Risk of Anemia Among Reproductive‐Age Women in Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries
Climate change is having significant demographic and health impacts on human populations around the world. There is growing empirical evidence about the impacts of climate variability and change on population health, but this work has focused disproportionately on children and aggregate indicators of weight and (or) height. We extend this literature by focusing on a more targeted indicator of health—anemia—among reproductive‐age women. To do so, …
Historic drought in northern Kenya shifts diet and mobility away from traditional pastoralism as resource security and nutrition falter
Measuring the environmental context of child growth in Burkina Faso
Overcoming the Boundaries of History
Archival maps provide a valuable way to explore historical environmental data collected before the use of satellite imagery. Archival maps in their physical form cannot readily be used, however, beyond what the original cartographer intended. In this project, we describe a manual method to bring scanned archival maps into digital form using common tools in a geographic information systems (GIS) software platform. We rely on the important context …
Les Promenades D’Études au Burkina Faso
Cet article présente les résultats des travaux de transects (en français— les promenades d’étude) et de cartographie participative effectués au Burkina Faso. Depuis la sécheresse qui a sévit au Sahel dans les années 1970, les chercheurs ont décrit la région Sahélienne de l’Afrique de l’Ouest comme un environnement subissant une dégradation continue. Cette description explicative persistante est restée associé à la région. Récemment, les analyses …
Walking the Line
In this article we present results from transect walks and participatory mapping done in Burkina Faso. Since the Sahelian drought of the 1970s, researchers have continued to depict the Sahelian region of West Africa as an environment experiencing severe degradation; a narrative that persists over time. Recently, however, analyses of satellite imagery have identified remarkable patterns of greening across the Sahel. The causes of this greening are…
