The pace, scale and intensity of new energy development around the world demands credible and informed research about potential impacts to human communities that host energy developments. While a fast-growing body of research addresses social, economic, and behavioral impacts from large-scale energy development for host communities and landscapes, their discoveries are often isolated by disciplinary and geographic boundaries. We invite participation from sociologists, geographers, political scientists, public health specialists, economists, anthropologists, practitioners and other interested parties whose work addresses impacts of new energy development for host communities and landscapes. Please visit http://www.energyimpacts.org to join a mailing list for future updates, and to add your profile to our growing data base of energy impacts researchers and professionals. The conference will be held at Ohio State University, Columbus.

NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS


          NEW!

          Helping sustain the future of dates

A century ago, date palms in the Salt River Valley weren’t just for decoration, and any Phoenician you met could tell you their top five date varieties. Today most people have never even tried one. As Phoenix grew, the date palms disappeared, replaced with homes and strip malls. But on ASU’s Polytechnic campus in Mesa, the date is not only alive and well, but making a comeback. Read more.


          NEW!

          The future of water in the Southwest

Atop Hoover Dam on a 115-degree July afternoon, tourists line up to suck cold water from fountains and crowd into the air-conditioned café and visitors’ center. Transpose both those actions to the 30 million people who depend upon that blue-green water behind the dam. That’s water for a jogger in Santa Monica. Water for an oleander hedge in Phoenix. Water for a shower to wash away a night in Vegas. It’s a comforting sight on a scorching day, all that water. Read more.


          NEW!

          Floating new ideas for water solutions

To reach the floating docks at Temple Bar Marina on Lake Mead, you have to cross a 200-yard-long gangway stretching across cracked mud flats that used to be the lake bottom. Mike Reisbig moored his boat there on an August afternoon. The Huntington Beach man, a football coach at Long Beach City College in California, has been coming to Temple Bar for about 50 years. Read more.


          NEW!

          7 brilliant nature-inspired designs (from GreenBiz.com)

Lizards and fresh produce don’t seem to have much in common at first. But to Zuzana Toncikova and her team of designers from Slovakia, they go hand in hand. When Toncikova and her team set out to design an easier, more sustainable way for residents in their home city of Zvolen to grow their own food, they studied the Texas horned lizard’s unique adaptation strategy. Read more.


          NEW!

          ASU researchers: Past climate key to mammal communities today

Scientists are increasingly concerned about the impact of climate change on the world’s biodiversity, and much effort has been placed into forecasting the response of species to these changes over the next century. Read more.


          NEW!

          'No such thing' as apolitical art

From Bob Dylan’s 1964 folk rock anthem “The Times They Are a-Changin’” to Shepard Fairey’s iconic Obama “hope” poster to Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Broadway smash “Hamilton” to Allen Ginsberg’s anguished protest of a poem “Howl” — there are innumerable examples of art that is politically charged. Read more.


          NEW!

          Help save a species: Harlequin frog

Stories about species becoming extinct are all too common in the news. This isn’t one of those stories. What’s different this time is that this species, a gorgeous frog living in Costa Rica, has a chance to be saved. Now. With your help. A tiny population of harlequin frogs was recently rediscovered along a riverbank in Costa Rica when a local kid walked into a biology field station with one in his hand. The researcher on duty immediately recognized what the boy held. Read more.


          NEW!

Why nothing should stop you from fighting climate change (from GreenBiz.com)

It’s 2016, and we’ve known about climate change and the greenhouse effect for a very long time. And yet, despite decades of scientific research, reports and warnings confirming the urgency of climate change, too many of our political leaders have done too little to actually solve the problem. Of course, there are some great exceptions: California Gov. Jerry Brown, former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, President Barack Obama and Pope Francis have done much to tackle climate change, often while facing strong opposition. Read more.


          NEW!

          ASU Social Embeddedness Report 2016

          A partnership in plant biology and conservation

Quick — without thinking about it, name an endangered animal. Name two, three or even four. Easy? Now, name an endangered plant. Two? Three? For many people, that’s not as easy. Read more.
