Modeling population effects of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill on a long‐lived species
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 4, August 2022., 2022 Abstract The 2010 Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill exposed common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in Barataria Bay, Louisiana to heavy oiling that caused increased mortality and chronic disease and impaired reproduction in surviving dolphins. We conducted photographic surveys and veterinary assessments in the decade following the spill.

Basin Research, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 50-80, February 2022., 2022 Erosional surfaces and deposits linked to the Messinian Salinity Crisis are restored to their original depth by planform flexural‐isostatic backstripping. A large seismic dataset covering the Western Mediterranean is used to constrain the current depth of Messinian markers, and by matching the water level to interpreted shoreline markers at the bottom ...

Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 46, Issue 1, Page 208-222, March 2021., 2021 In this paper I argue that assemblage theory provides an innovative way to extend critique of sustainable development as it is being remade by the 2015 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Drawing on recent fieldwork in Bolivia, I examine the early take‐up and implementation of the SDGs in a site of intensifying resource extraction and ...

Protecting biodiversity and economic returns in resource‐rich tropical forests
Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 263-273, February 2021., 2021 Abstract In pursuit of socioeconomic development, many countries are expanding oil and mineral extraction into tropical forests. These activities seed access to remote, biologically rich areas, thereby endangering global biodiversity. We examined how protection of biodiversity and economic revenues can be balanced in biologically valuable regions ...
