Air pollution mortality from India’s coal power plants: Unit-level estimates for targeted policy
Air pollution from coal-fired electricity generation is an important cause of premature mortality in India. Although pollution-related mortality from the sector has been extensively studied, the relative contribution of individual coal-fired units to the fleet-wide mortality burden remains unclear. Here, we find that emissions from a small number of units drive overall mortality. Units producing just 3.5% of total generation and constituting less…
Air quality, health, and equity impacts of vehicle electrification in India
Ambient air pollution in India accounts for 870 000 deaths per year, including 43 000 from road transportation. Vehicle electrification could posit a sustainable solution. However, 3/4th of India’s electric grid is powered by coal, emitting large amounts of PM 2.5 , SO 2 , and NO x . This leads to uncertainty regarding the health benefits and distributional consequences from vehicle electrification. Our results show that if electric vehicles made…
Inequality in air pollution mortality from power generation in India
India’s coal-heavy electricity system is the world’s third largest and a major emitter of air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Consequently, it remains a focus of decarbonization and air pollution control policy. Considerable heterogeneity exists between states in India in terms of electricity demand, generation fuel mix, and emissions. However, no analysis has disentangled the expected, state-level spatial differences and interactions in …
PM 2.5 polluters disproportionately and systemically affect people of color in the United States
Nearly all major emission categories contribute to the systemic PM 2.5 exposure disparity experienced by people of color.
Photography and Policing, a Special Issue of History of Photography
Municipal Law Enforcement and Its Transmissions
The arrival of police radio inaugurated a vast and punitive new media ecology. Between the 1920s and the 1950s the installation and implementation of police radio systems – now ubiquitous and utterly naturalised – in towns and cities across the USA restructured the practice of policing and the experience of being policed. These processes radically revised the social, psycho-geographic and spatiotemporal relations unfolding amid the new medium’s l…
Global food system emissions could preclude achieving the 1.5° and 2°C climate change targets
Thought for food To have any hope of meeting the central goal of the Paris Agreement, which is to limit global warming to 2°C or less, our carbon emissions must be reduced considerably, including those coming from agriculture. Clark et al. show that even if fossil fuel emissions were eliminated immediately, emissions from the global food system alone would make it impossible to limit warming to 1.5°C and difficult even to realize the 2°C target. …
The urgency of transforming the Midwestern U.S. landscape into more than corn and soybean
Multiple health and environmental impacts of foods
Significance Dietary choices are a leading global cause of mortality and environmental degradation and threaten the attainability of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Agreement. To inform decision making and to better identify the multifaceted health and environmental impacts of dietary choices, we describe how consuming 15 different food groups is associated with 5 health outcomes and 5 aspects of environmental degrada…
Inequity in consumption of goods and services adds to racial–ethnic disparities in air pollution exposure
Fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) air pollution exposure is the largest environmental health risk factor in the United States. Here, we link PM 2.5 exposure to the human activities responsible for PM 2.5 pollution. We use these results to explore “pollution inequity”: the difference between the environmental health damage caused by a racial–ethnic group and the damage that group experiences. We show that, in the United States, PM 2.5 exposure is …
Pathways for recent Cerrado soybean expansion: Extending the soy moratorium and implementing integrated crop livestock systems with soybeans
The Brazilian Soy Moratorium has effectively reduced forest conversion for soybeans in Amazonia. \nThis has come at the expense of the region’s pasturelands, which have increasingly ceded space for \ncompliant soy expansion. The question of extending the policy to the Cerrado, where recent soy \nexpansion has come at the cost of ecologically valuable vegetation, plugs into a wider discussion on \nhow to reconcile competing commodities on finite a…
An inter-comparison of the social costs of air quality from reduced-complexity models
Reliable estimates of externality costs—such as the costs arising from premature mortality due to exposure to fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 )—are critical for policy analysis. To facilitate broader analysis, several datasets of the social costs of air quality have been produced by a set of reduced-complexity models (RCMs). It is much easier to use the tabulated marginal costs derived from RCMs than it is to run ‘state-of-the-science’ chemical t…

Global food demand and the sustainable intensification of agriculture
Global food demand is increasing rapidly, as are the environmental impacts of agricultural expansion. Here, we project global demand for crop production in 2050 and evaluate the environmental impacts of alternative ways that this demand might be met. We find that per capita demand for crops, when measured as caloric or protein content of all crops combined, has been a similarly increasing function of per capita real income since 1960. This relati…
Solutions for a cultivated planet
Increasing population and consumption are placing unprecedented demands on agriculture and natural resources. Today, approximately a billion people are chronically malnourished while our agricultural systems are concurrently degrading land, water, biodiversity and climate on a global scale. To meet the world's future food security and sustainability needs, food production must grow substantially while, at the same time, agriculture's environmenta…
Beneficial Biofuels—The Food, Energy, and Environment Trilemma
Exploiting multiple feedstocks, under new policies and accounting rules, to balance biofuel production, food security, and greenhouse-gas reduction.
Land Clearing and the Biofuel Carbon Debt
Increasing energy use, climate change, and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions from fossil fuels make switching to low-carbon fuels a high priority. Biofuels are a potential low-carbon energy source, but whether biofuels offer carbon savings depends on how they are produced. Converting rainforests, peatlands, savannas, or grasslands to produce food crop–based biofuels in Brazil, Southeast Asia, and the United States creates a “biofuel carbon debt” b…
Environmental, economic, and energetic costs and benefits of biodiesel and ethanol biofuels
Negative environmental consequences of fossil fuels and concerns about petroleum supplies have spurred the search for renewable transportation biofuels. To be a viable alternative, a biofuel should provide a net energy gain, have environmental benefits, be economically competitive, and be producible in large quantities without reducing food supplies. We use these criteria to evaluate, through life-cycle accounting, ethanol from corn grain and bio…
Carbon-Negative Biofuels from Low-Input High-Diversity Grassland Biomass
Biofuels derived from low-input high-diversity (LIHD) mixtures of native grassland perennials can provide more usable energy, greater greenhouse gas reductions, and less agrichemical pollution per hectare than can corn grain ethanol or soybean biodiesel. High-diversity grasslands had increasingly higher bioenergy yields that were 238% greater than monoculture yields after a decade. LIHD biofuels are carbon negative because net ecosystem carbon di…
The Maui Toolkit: Groupware Widgets for Group Awareness
Awareness support in a groupware widget toolkit[29] (abstract only)
Group awareness is an important part of synchronous collaboration, and support for group awareness can greatly improve groupware usability. However, it is still difficult to build groupware that supports group awareness. To address this problem, we have developed the MAUI toolkit, a Java toolkit with a broad suite of awareness-enhanced UI components. The toolkit contains both extensions of standard Swing widgets, and groupware-specific components…
