1. 1. The Northward Course of the Anthropocene : Transformation, Temporality and Telecoupling in a Time of Environmental Crisis

   Författare :Eric Paglia; Sverker Sörlin; Nina Wormbs; Charles Parker; John McNeill; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Anthropocene; Arctic; Fernand Braudel; environmental and climate crisis; environmental history; expertise; polar geopolitics; securitization; Svalbard; telecoupling; History of Science; Technology and Environment; Historiska studier av teknik; vetenskap och miljö; Statsvetenskap med inriktning mot krishantering och internationell samverkan;

   Sammanfattning : The Arctic—warming at twice the rate of the rest of the planet—is a source of striking imagery of amplified environmental change in our time, and has come to serve as a spatial setting for climate crisis discourse. The recent alterations in the Arctic environment have also been perceived by some observers as an opportunity to expand economic exploitation. LÄS MER

3. 2. Large-Scale Land Acquisitions as a Driver of Socio-Environmental Change : From the Pixel to the Globe

   Författare :Emma Johansson; Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Land system sience; socio-environmental change; telecoupling; scale; co-production of knowledge; participatory art project; network science; blue and green water; Africa; Land grabbing; Remote sensing;

   Sammanfattning : A major challenge of our time is to sustainably produce food and other goods for a growing global population, without putting additional pressures on land and water resources and local people’s quality of life. Large-scale agriculture has brought many benefits to humanity in terms of food production but has also caused multiple sustainability challenges, including land and water degradation, deforestation, and biodiversity loss in areas of production.

4. 3. Where have all the forests gone? Quantifying pantropical deforestation drivers

   Författare :Florence Pendrill; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Carbon footprints; International trade; Deforestation; Consumption-based accounting; Forest transitions; Telecoupling; Agriculture; Land use change; Carbon emissions; Land system science;

   Sammanfattning : Deforestation across the tropics continues to be a major source of greenhouse gas emissions and the largest threat to biodiversity on land. With strengthened commitments to reduce deforestation from countries and companies alike, it is crucial that renewed investments for reducing deforestation be guided by a sound understanding of what drives deforestation.

5. 4. Food security in a changing climate : The role of cropland intensification and land acquisitions across Africa

   Författare :Altaaf Mechiche-Alami; Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Agriculture; land grabbing; sustainability science; Network Analysis; Earth observation; Crop model;

   Sammanfattning : Food security is one of the world’s greatest challenges. The current food system shows an entanglement across the globe which means that local farmers reliant on subsistence agriculture no longer operate in isolation of larger-scale processes within the global economy or the changing biophysical system of the planet.
