A River, Both Warm and Cool

Carbon in the Anthropocene
Anthropocene is a word we commonly use today. However, its roots and true impacts on our planet are often lost when we talk about climate change. To begin examining carbon through different lenses, this module will first introduce some terminologies that are central to global conversations around climate change. By expanding on the interconnections between carbon, water, agriculture and more, this module emphasises the need to approach climate change through varied perspectives. Introducing the (...)
Mesa Contaminações: confusão das fronteiras [Campus Antropoceno Brasil]
Com o desenvolvimento histórico das ideias de indivíduo e autonomia, construímos um mundo com limites bem estabelecidos, ainda que toda entidade mantenha uma relação constitutiva com seu entorno. Em tempos de catástrofe climática, quando observamos a proliferação de efeitos locais em escala global, precisamos nos perguntar quais as conexões que se estabelecem entre a diversidade de seres, borrando fronteiras antes fortemente estabelecidas. Que tipos de contágios e contaminações povoam o horizont (...)

ENVIRONMENTAL INJUSTICE
These case study reports focuses on “worst case” scenarios for release of toxic chemicals in settings across California. The reports addresses a series of ten questions that draw out local details in a manner that encourages comparison with other places.
