Working the Waste Commodity Frontier: Metabolic Value and Informal Waste Work

open access: yesAntipode, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 458-479, March 2023., 2023
Abstract Ambitions for a European “circular economy” imply waste is becoming an important “commodity frontier”. Increased recycling in Europe has been accompanied by a proliferation of informal waste work. “Southern” geographies of informal recyclers provide resources for interpreting this phenomenon but studies of a commodity frontier in urban waste ...

A decision framework for estimating the cost of marine plastic pollution interventions

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 2, April 2022., 2022
Abstract Marine plastic pollution has emerged as one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. Although there has been a surge in global investment for implementing interventions to mitigate plastic pollution, there has been little attention given to the cost of these interventions. We developed a decision support framework to identify

Deforestation‐free land‐use change and organic matter‐centered management improve the C footprint of oil palm expansion

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 28, Issue 7, Page 2476-2490, April 2022., 2022
Alternative land‐use changes like degraded savannas conversion holds potential to replace tropical deforestation and its pernicious effect on ecosystem aspects. However, lack of empirical evidence hinders the understanding of the impacts of such alternative pathway for sustainable agricultural development on important ecosystem processes. Here, we show

Starchy shells: Residue analysis of precolonial northern Caribbean culinary practices

open access: yesArchaeometry, Volume 62, Issue 2, Page 362-380, April 2020., 2020
Determining culinary practices is critical for understanding phytocultural complexes, transported landscapes and human niche constructions. Starch analysis is an exemplary method for reconstructing human–plant dependencies. However, certain types of artefacts from the Greater Caribbean region, such as flaked lithics, lithic griddles, coral artefacts ...

Global Analysis of Anthropogenic Debris Ingestion by Sea Turtles

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 129-139, February 2014., 2014
Abstract Ingestion of marine debris can have lethal and sublethal effects on sea turtles and other wildlife. Although researchers have reported on ingestion of anthropogenic debris by marine turtles and implied incidences of debris ingestion have increased over time, there has not been a global synthesis of the phenomenon since 1985.

Vulnerability of marine megafauna to global at‐sea anthropogenic threats

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened ...
