#EESPublishes: Prof Peter Groffman on Crab Burrowing and Surface Litter Limits in Temperate Salt Marshes

November 29, 2017November 25, 2017 by EES Social Media Fellow

EES, ASRC, and Brooklyn College Professor Peter Groffman co-authored an article in the journal Ecosystems entitled Crab Burrowing Limits Surface Litter Accumulation in a Temperate Salt Marsh: Implications for Ecosystem Functioning and Connectivity. Abstract: Burial of aboveground plant litter by animals reduces the amount available for surface transport and places it into a different environment, affecting decomposition rates and fluxes of organic matter to adjacent ecosystems. Here we show that in a Southwestern Atlantic salt marsh the burrowing crab Neohelice granulata buries aboveground plant litter at rates (0.5–8 g m−2 day−1) comparable to those of litter production (3 g m−2 day−1). Buried litter has a low probability (0.6%) of …

#ESSPublishes: EO Prof Cindi Katz On Rocking “the Project”: The Beat Goes On in honor of Susan Christopherson

November 21, 2017 by EES Social Media Fellow

Professor Cindi Katz published an article in a special symposium issue of Antipode: A Radical Journal of Geography called On Being Outside “the Project”: A Symposium in honor of Susan Christopherson. The article is entitled On Rocking “the Project”: The Beat Goes On. Check it out. The radical geography community lost one of its leading lights last year when Susan Christopherson, Professor of City and Regional Planning and Department Chair at Cornell, passed away. In 1989, Susan wrote a short, germinal essay in the pages of this journal that challenged the persistence of marginalizing and minimizing social difference in radical geography. …

#EESPublishes: Prof Vörösmarty on a global delta sediment balance model for sea-level rise

October 10, 2017October 9, 2017 by EES Social Media Fellow

ESS Professor Charles Vörösmarty coauthored a paper entitled “A model of water and sediment balance as determinants of relative sea level rise in contemporary and future deltas” in the Journal of Geomorphology. Highlights from the article include; A delta sediment balance model is developed for a global selection of deltas. Sediment flux and relative sea-level rise vary under modern and future scenarios. Watershed and coastal sediment processes outweigh sea-level rise in some deltas. Full use of hydro-resources in upstream basins strongly impacts downstream deltas. Dr. Vörösmarty’s research focuses on the development of computer models and geospatial data sets used in …

#EESPublishes: Prof @SethaLow on private securitization practices & state/capitalist control

October 4, 2017 by EES Social Media Fellow

ESS Professor Setha Low published an article in Anthropological Theory entitled “Security at home: How private securitization practices increase state and capitalist control“. The article is featured in a special issue of the Journal on “Producing Sates of Security” which offers a theoretical framework and critical grounding for the anthropology of security. Abstract: The impact of the security state is not only seen in the political and spatial restrictions on public space and the public sphere or inscribed in militarized national borders and cities, but also in the increasing penetration of the domestic and private realm of home. These securitization …

#EESPublishes: EES student Yi Tang & Prof Stewart on Particle Characteristics in the N. Atlantic

September 13, 2017 by EES Social Media Fellow

EES Student Yi Tang and Professor Gillian Stewart published a paper in Deep Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research Papers entitled The influence of particle concentration and composition on the fractionation of 210Po and 210Pb along the North Atlantic GEOTRACES transect GA03. Congratulations Yi! Article highlights include: Provide links between particle features and 210Po and 210Pb activities in N. Atl. Particle characteristics, relationships with isotopes varied geographically. Particle characteristics, relationships with isotopes varied with particle size. Particle composition, especially litho and opal, could predict sorption of 210Pb. Sorption of 210Po is more complicated, but consistently related to POC content.

#ESSPublishes: Rethinking #Neoliberalism: Resisting the Disciplinary Regmine co-edited by Prof Pavlovskaya

August 16, 2017September 11, 2017 by EES Social Media Fellow

ESS Professor Marianna Pavlovskaya (@mpavlov) co-edited a new book entitled “Rethinking Neoliberalism: Resisting the Disciplinary Regime”. Neoliberalism remains a flashpoint for political contestation around the world. For decades now, neoliberalism has been in the process of becoming a globally ascendant default logic that prioritizes using economic rationality for all major decisions, in all sectors of society, at the collective level of state policymaking as well as the personal level of individual choice-making. Donald Trump’s recent presidential victory has been interpreted both as a repudiation and as a validation of neoliberalism’s hegemony. Rethinking Neoliberalism brings together theorists, social scientists, and public policy scholars to …

#EESpublishes: Check out Dr. Stephanie DeVries dissertation on nitrogen pollution!

June 7, 2017September 11, 2017 by EES Social Media Fellow

Stephanie DeVries dissertation is available on CUNY academic works! Congratulations Dr. DeVries! Following a comprehensive review of the occurrence and impacts of antibiotics and related pharmaceutical compounds on the terrestrial N-cycle, three experiments were performed to explore the topic of biogeochemistry as a source or a sink for N-pollution. The first of these experiments addresses the question of whether environmentally relevant concentrations of antibiotics (µg·kg-1) have a significant effect on denitrification or N2O production, a question that has not been well addressed in previous studies. Having determined that there is a significant shift, the second study aims to comprehensively follow changes …

#EESpublishes: @GC_CUNY @CityCollegeNY Alumna Dr @mar_karimi & Prof #RezaKhanbilvardi on Surface T Variations in Urban Settings

April 19, 2017 by EES Social Media Fellow

Dr. Karimi and Dr. Khanbilvardi coauthored a paper entitled Predicting surface temperature variation in urban settings using real-time weather forecasts in Urban Climate. Highlight include: •Three months of field campaign data were collected to understand the inverse effect of UHI in Manhattan •Measuring spatial and temporal temperature variation within urban setting of Manhattan •Predicting temperature variability from weather forecast •The lapse rates being the common dependent for both spatial and temporal variations Within Manhattan Abstract: Densely populated cities experience adverse effects of Urban Heat Island (UHI) including higher numbers of emergency hospital admissions and heat related illnesses. Studying UHI effects and temperature …
