Three coauthors and I have just had a paper published today.  It is “On the Travel Emissions of Sustainability Science Research,” and it examines the ethical and environmental dimensions of travel conducted for sustainability research.  Below are the whole shebang, the citation, the PDF, the data, and the code.  Enjoy.

Unity College Fishbowl Talk – VIDEO

Posted on April 25, 2014 by Tim Waring

I recently visited Unity College, in Unity Maine, a small environmentally focused college of about 500 students. It’s a wonderful place, and I had a great time. They have a great focus on sustainability in their campus culture. Carrie Eaton invited me to give a talk at their Fishbowl series, which focused on evolutionary approaches to sustainability science, and summarized some ongoing work. Here are the slides that I used, and below is the talk itself. Apologies for the echo towards the end. It’s still quite watchable.

SHE XX (2014) – Bar Harbor

Posted on April 9, 2014 by Tim Waring

SHE XX (2014).

“Like previous human ecology conferences, this event is intended to bring together a diverse group of educators, researchers and practitioners who utilize, or are interested in, interdisciplinary and ecological approaches. SHE meetings rely heavily on the suggestions and contributions of participants. Our aim is to make this event as broadly interdisciplinary as possible – bridging science, social science and policy perspectives – with literature, humanities and creative arts.”
