Privacy at the Margins| The Poverty of Privacy: Understanding Privacy Trade-Offs From Identity Infrastructure Users in India

International Journal of Communication, 2018
What trade-offs in privacy do low-income people make in dealing with state identity systems, and on what basis? We examine perspectives on Aadhaar, a national identification system for Indian residents that assigns a 12-digit number based on biometric ...

Caribou: Fine-Grained Geospatial Shifting of Serverless Applications for Sustainability

Symposium on Operating Systems Principles
Sustainability in computing is critical as environmental concerns rise. The cloud industry's carbon footprint is significant and rapidly growing. We show that dynamic geospatial shifting of cloud workloads to regions with lower carbon emission energy ...

Effectiveness of population-based recovery actions for threatened southern mountain caribou.

Ecological Applications
Habitat loss is affecting many species, including the southern mountain caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) population in western North America. Over the last half century, this threatened caribou population's range and abundance have dramatically ...

Slowing down wolves to protect boreal caribou populations: a spatial simulation model of linear feature restoration

Ecosphere, 2019
In Canada, boreal caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) are declining in numbers, in part due to increased predation by wolves (Canis lupus). One management option to reduce wolf–caribou interactions and thus protect caribou is to remove man‐made linear ...

Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus) avoid wellsite activity during winter

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021
Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus) are threatened in Alberta in part due to the development of oil and gas resources. To inform best management practices for caribou, we assessed how proximity to wellsites influenced caribou habitat selection, and ...
