Was reading about the Northern Appalachian Anomaly and laughed. The difference between geologists naming stuff vs. other scientists is hilarious.
Scientist: We must carefully use the binomial nomenclature system to name this.

ICYMI My new article on the material politics of climate storytelling.

I use an experimental approach to juxtapose two stories of climate change in the Pacific. That of the IPCC, representing the dominant narrative, & then an anti-imperial version.
@geoopenaccess.bsky.social

Title: ‘Operation Hurricane’: Narrating Climate Change as Imperial Mess. Abstract: How climate change is narrated matters. Every story that is told of climate change contains its own causes of the problem, its own solutions and its own vision of the future. This article juxtaposes two stories: the dominant story of climate change as represented by the IPCC and a counter-story of climate change as ‘imperial mess’. This language comes from Alice Te Punga Somerville and her book Two Hundred and Fifty Ways to Start an Essay About Captain Cook (2020). In this book, Te Punga Somerville writes about colonialism in Aotearoa and the Pacific as a story that can be told in endless different ways, with each story drawing out different elements. Number 223 of her project, ‘In Montebello Islands’, discusses the British nuclear weapons testing programme. The tests were called ‘Operation Hurricane’, and Te Punga Somerville writes that the whole imperial mess of the past five centuries could be called “Operation Hurricane”. This article takes this claim as a prompt, both methodologically and theoretically, in order to argue that climate change needs to be understood in a historically and geographically informed way, where the colonial history becomes the present, coloniality and resistance entwine and the ‘way out of the mess’ has to be found in a fight against the entirety of Operation Hurricane. The contribution of the article is twofold: First, this article contributes to literatures that understand climate change as a historical process of imperial violence, by directly addressing what this changes about an analysis of climate politics. Second, it contributes to critiques of the IPCC by showing how its approach depoliticises climate change through the way it narrates and communicates climate science as separate from historical and structural processes.

'Repairing epistemic injustice and loss in the era of climate coloniality' by Farhana Sultana

This paper critically examines the intersections of power, pedagogy and praxis in producing inequitable climate knowledge, global governance, policies and solutions.

doi.org/10.1002/geo2...
Screenshot of a paper abstract in Geo: Geography and Environment by Farhana Sultana (2025) entitled: 'Repairing epistemic injustice and loss in the era of climate coloniality' with an orange banner at the top. Climate change intensifies existing inequities, disproportionately impacting marginalised populations, particularly in the Global South and Indigenous communities. This is maintained through inequitable global climate governance, policies and solutions. The paper argues that climate coloniality, the complex entanglements of colonial legacies with contemporary climate and ecological changes, operates through systemic knowledge-based marginalisation or epistemic injustice, serving as a key mechanism in the uneven production and distribution of climate harms. Beyond the more commonly discussed material dimensions of loss and damage, epistemic injustices arise from silencing critical voices and devaluing knowledge systems. The paper extends the scope of loss and damage debates by drawing attention to epistemic losses: the erasure of worldviews, ontologies and practices that are vital for just and sustainable climate futures. It critically examines the intersections of power, pedagogy and praxis in (re)producing epistemic injustices, while simultaneously revealing counter-narratives of refusal, resurgence and relationality. By engaging Indigenous and Global South scholarship, the paper underscores the need to decolonise knowledge systems that reproduce dominant climate narratives and heed the epistemological alternatives offered by land- and kinship-based knowledge systems. Advancing climate justice depends on confronting epistemic injustice as both a form of loss and a condition of possibility: centring Global South and Indigenous perspectives is essential for cultivating pluriversal, decolonial and just climate frameworks and futures.

‘Operation Hurricane’: Narrating Climate Change as Imperial Mess.

This article is something a bit different, playing with format to explore why climate storytelling matters.

doi.org/10.1002/geo2...
ABSTRACT How climate change is narrated matters. Every story that is told of climate change contains its own causes of the problem, its own solutions and its own vision of the future. This article juxtaposes two stories: the dominant story of climate change as represented by the IPCC and a counter-story of climate change as ‘imperial mess’. This language comes from Alice Te Punga Somerville and her book Two Hundred and Fifty Ways to Start an Essay About Captain Cook (2020).

New article out in Geo: Geography and Environment with an interdisciplinary dream team of coauthors: “From maps to models: Participation and contestability in the dynamic management of natural resources.”
doi.org/10.1002/geo2... (open access)
How does stakeholder participation in natural resource management change when conservation rules are grounded in near real-time data? Recent technological advances have increased the feasibility of the ‘dynamic management’ of natural resources, which promises to align the spatiotemporal scales of management with ecological variability and resource use. Drawing on Kelty's (2020) concept of ‘contributory autonomy’, this article offers a critical comparison of how participation is conceived of in the more established context of static conservation areas and planning versus the emergent field of dynamic management. A systematic review of the dynamic ocean management literature reveals a varied, but shallow engagement with the topic of stakeholder participation in that context. Whereas static management regimes are governed by relatively intuitive and contestable maps, dynamic management is governed by models and data flows. Overall, the decision-making stakeholder of participatory mapping processes under static management is displaced by the stakeholder conceived as an ‘end-user’ of a dynamic management product and consultant in its design. Yet, these shifts also open up potential points of contestation, which may pattern the future theory and practice of participation in dynamic management: counterdata, countermodelling and data chokepoints. Beyond the empirical focus on oceans, this article contributes to broader conversations about the political stakes of environmental data, and algorithmic and artificial intelligence-driven natural resource conservation by considering how possibilities for participation are foreclosed, enabled and reconstituted by new spatiotemporal and technological conditions.

'Assessing the carbon sequestration potential of church forest and their implication for climate change mitigation in Jabitehinan District, Ethiopia' by Addisu Bitew Birhanie et al.

doi.org/10.1002/geo2...
A graphical abstract for an article published in Geo about the contribution of church forests in Ethiopia to climate change mitigation. The graphic outlines a carbon stock assessment of church forests in three agroecological zones: semi-arid, sub-humid, and temperate highland. It highlights that a stratified systematic sampling approach was used in the paper, 60 sample plots were used with quadrants, and DBH (diameter at breast height) was measured at 1.3m.
