THE AESTHETICS OF URBAN METABOLISM: Landscape, Design and the Politics of In/Visibility

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article, we chart the evolving aesthetic contours of urban metabolism across London, focusing on the River Lea and Thamesmead to the north and south of the River Thames, respectively. We begin in the nineteenth century, when these two sites formed critical nodes within a new sewerage system that relegated the city’s circulatory flows ...

Fecal Steroids as Tracers of Human Population and Waste Management Practices at the Ancient Maya City of Ucanal, Guatemala

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Geochemical data compiled from dried sediments from three water reservoirs at the ancient Maya city of Ucanal, Petén, Guatemala, reveal low to undetectable fecal biomarker concentrations. These low concentrations may be the result of the aerobic decay of sterols combined with well‐managed waste disposal practices.

Who pays for PFAS contamination? A comparative analysis of environmental liability in the US and Sweden

Review of European, Comparative &International Environmental Law, EarlyView.
Abstract Environmental liability systems worldwide face mounting challenges addressing contamination from persistent chemicals, particularly when contamination spans decades and involves activities that were legal when performed. This article examines how the US and Sweden allocate responsibility for contaminated site remediation through their distinct
