Legacy of racist US housing policies extends even to bird data
"....Ellis-Soto and his team studied bird sightings in more than 9,000 neighbourhoods, covering almost 200 US cities....
“You can better predict where you have data on birds based on systemic racism — redlining maps from 1933 — than climate, tree cover or population density, everything a bird should actually care about”

The #GOP doesn't need to destroy the #SierraClub -- progressive infighting will do it.

The #SierraClub has definitely lost its way. Moving its HQ to Washington is a sign of that. Very unfortunate.

I am deeply grateful to my editor Lucas Church for shepherding this book project (and me). There aren't enough good words for the amazing team at UNC Press. It's thrilling to see this book join so many titles I admire in #EnvHum, #C19 literary studies, and #EnvHist. 2/

Now up to 516 items (including several from 2023 alone!), our shared Coastal Studies / Coastal History library on Zotero is right here: www.zotero.org/groups/25030... . Just added something stray from back in 2021, it appeared in the journal Comparative Literature so it wasn't on our radar. #BlueHumanities #CoastalStudies #CoastalHistory #histodons #envhist

My latest publication is open access now—an analysis of frontier mythos, masculinity, and hidden corporate landscapes in the TV show Gold Rush. You can find it in this great new volume “To the Last Drop” on sentimentality, culture, and extraction. Link to my article and the TOC are below. #envhist #envhum #mininghistory

More than 4 million images of pressed flowers from around the world here, lots of different ways to search the collection, no paywall. This epic digitization project, which required a conveyor belt to keep the scanning going, was just completed in 2022 by the U.S. National Herbarium and the Smithsonian. #gardening #botany #bloomscrolling #envhist #histodons

This is an excellent gateway into environmental history for anyone interested in getting an intellectual scaffolding. What makes Guha's work strong is that it shows the movement as a global conversation. Probably its main flaw is that it was written in the late 90s / early 00 and has not been updated in a while. But still, one needs to start somewhere!
