Troubling Troubled Waters in Elementary Science Education: Politics, Ethics & Black Children’s Conceptions of Water [Justice] in the Era of Flint

Stem and the Social Good, 2019
The study of water as a K–12 science idea often divorces its properties from its deeply politicized history as a resource that has been limited, compromised, and intentionally withheld from nondominant communities.

Preventing another lead (Pb) in drinking water crisis: Lessons from the Washington D.C. and Flint MI contamination events

Current Opinion in Environmental Science & Health, 2019
Two high profile lead (Pb) contamination of drinking water events of the 21st century, namely Washington DC (2001–04) and Flint Michigan (2014–16), represent a tip of the “water lead” iceberg with millions of Americans potentially drinking contaminated ...

Decline machines and economic development: rust belt cities and Flint, Michigan

Urban Geography, 2020
We develop the concept of decline machines, only recently invoked by urbanists, to understand city economic development in America’s urban rust belt. We chronicle this notion and show that it currently spearheads economic development in one of America’s ...

Flint and the Patination of Flint Artifacts

Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society, 1960
The alteration of black or dark-coloured flint artifacts to produce a white surface is familiar to archaeologists. This patination is attributed to weathering, and was first explained by Judd in 1887. Judd suggested that flint is composed of a felted aggregate of euhedral quartz needles with colloidal (opaline) silica occupying the interstices between ...

Petrographic and geochemical analyses of flint raw materials from Bulgaria: A reliable combination for provenance studies of archaeological flint

Quaternary International, 2021
The Bulgarian prehistoric sequence is characterized by the use of particular raw materials in distinct ‘cultural’ contexts. The Karanovo I and II stages of the Early Neolithic (part of a supra-regional technocomplex in the Balkans) are recognisable by ...

Thermal Alteration of Flint: An Experimental Approach to Investigate the Effect on Material Properties

, 2020
Archaeological lithic assemblages are often affected by burning, as evident from severe thermal damage on these artefacts. In this study, the thermal alteration of four different flint types was investigated by performing controlled heating experiments ...

White wine light-strike fault: A comparison between flint and green glass bottles under the typical supermarket conditions

Food Packaging and Shelf Life, 2020
White wines from two vintages were bottled in green and flint glass bottles and stored under typical supermarket shelf conditions. Light-strike fault, colour changes, light and temperature exposure were monitored up to 50 days.
