Abstract Southwestern Pennsylvania (SWPA) has long been an energy extractive periphery, continuously remade through cycles of dispossession and accumulation. Here we examine the changing dynamics of private property in these cycles and its central role in the latest phase of extraction—unconventional oil and gas development (UOGD).

Respatializing Toxic Harm: The Case Against Sacrifice Zones
ABSTRACT Describing heavily polluted areas as “sacrifice zones” has become commonplace in recent decades, as diverse groups resist their unwitting exposure to destructive and toxic industrial, municipal, and military activities. However, pollutants tend to seep, spill, leak, and drift from wherever they are concentrated, defying any notion of physical ...

Abstract In a global‐scale nuclear war, massive explosions, intense heat, and radioactive fallout would cause extensive harm to humanity and ecosystems. Further, previous studies of even regional‐scale nuclear conflicts show that the smoke from large‐scale fires caused by such weapons could lead to global‐scale ozone loss.

From “Modern Midas Mineral” to “Satanic Substance”: Uranium, Unions, and the Atomic Age
Uranium mining and export was a major flashpoint for political debate in 1970's Australia. However, there has been relatively little investigation into how uranium was understood and contested before this time. This paper draws on labour movement publications and other archival sources to reveal lesser‐known antecedents to the anti‐uranium movement in ...

Nuclear forensics using gamma-ray spectroscopy
Much of George Dracoulis's research career was devoted to utilizing gamma-ray spectroscopy in fundamental studies in nuclear physics. This same technology is useful in a wide range of applications in the area of nuclear forensics.

Association of Air Pollution With Adiposity Rates in Active Runners and Inactive People
ABSTRACT Objectives The aim of this cross‐sectional study is to investigate the association between long‐term air pollution (AP) exposure and adiposity, primarily visceral fat and secondary body fat in runners and inactive participants. Methods This study included 945 individuals (male n = 505 and female n = 440).
