Green nickel, electric vehicles and mining governance challenges in the U.S
Climate change drives mass migration and threatens migrants’ health: Is there a way out
Sociotechnical agendas: Reviewing future directions for energy and climate research
The field of science and technology studies (STS) has introduced and developed a “sociotechnical” perspective that has been taken up by many disciplines and areas of inquiry. The aims and objectives of this study are threefold: to interrogate which sociotechnical concepts or tools from STS are useful at better understanding energy-related social science, to reflect on prominent themes and topics within those approaches, and to identify current re…
Climate-smart mining: A conference report on the World Bank’s facility launch
Engaging the Underground: An STS Field in Formation
Rather than existing a priori, the underground comes to be through interlinked political, economic, cultural, and technoscientific practices and processes. Underlying each of these are issues of knowledge, expertise and power that STS is uniquely positioned to explore. In this thematic collection, our focus on the underground draws attention to the work, knowledge, and placemaking activities of those engaged in mining and energy development. We f…

Public Deliberation and the Geographies of Wind Justice
Water Works in India
India's water problems have long been portrayed by the international media as crises of poverty, desperation and corruption. Drawing an analogy to the "peak oil" discourse, "peak water" adherents express an impending dystopia through images of overpumped aquifers in the world's breadbasket regions, excessive irrigation that is rapidly depleting rivers and deltas, neglected pollutants that are poisoning return water flows. This focus on global wat…
Resisting and Reconciling Big Wind: Middle Landscape Politics in the New American West
While critical geographers have addressed how place politics impacts rural landscapes, less attention has been paid to the particular ways in which rural landscape identities are being impacted by the new energy economy. The nascent US wind energy opposition movement is evidence of broad, organized resistance to the landscape impacts associated with the re-sculpting of rural energy geographies. Drawing from cultural landscape and place theory, th…
Defending Place in the Google Earth Age
Virtual globes, like Google Earth, are increasingly being used by experts and lay publics in the process of ‘defending place’ against rapidly shifting energy geographies. Drawing upon the fields of visual studies, landscape architecture and geography, this article examines the use of geospatial tools by conservation campaigns challenging new developments. With a focus on wind energy, the article describes the strategic advantages and risks associ…
Steel forests or smoke stacks: The politics of visualisation in the Cape Wind controversy
While wind power is now considered both technologically mature and economically feasible, it faces bitter opposition from local communities on the grounds of visual pollution. The role that visual impact analyses play in policy debates about the siting of wind energy facilities is critically examined. The production of viewshed simulations and their reception by members of diverse publics are examined in the context of the Cape Wind project in th…
People's Science in Action: The Politics of Protest and Knowledge Brokering in India
After extended political protest against the Indian government's design for the Uchangi dam, nongovernmental engineers and social activists aided project-affected villagers in producing an alternative dam design that provided the same quantity of water storage without the need for village submergence. This alternative plan, which compelled the irrigation agency to redesign the dam, resulted from data gathered through a participatory resource mapp…
Assessing Water Scarcity and Watershed Development in Maharashtra, India: A Case Study of the Baliraja Memorial Dam
In the drought-prone regions of Maharashtra State, a growing social movement for equitable water distribution is engaging the help of engineers to build technical projects. This movement aims to challenge the state's agroindustrial development model favoring water-intensive sugarcane farming by redistributing water. This article examines the Baliraja Memorial Dam, located in southwestern Maharashtra. Through the dam, 400 families in the villages …
