This article reflects on issues of globalisation and representation in contemporary visual culture.

The major objectives of this paper are: (1) to review the pros and cons of the scenarios of past anthropogenic land cover change (ALCC) developed during the last ten years, (2) to discuss issues related to pollen-based reconstruction of the past land-cover and introduce a new method, REVEALS (Regional Estimates of VEgetation Abundance from Large Sites), to infer long-term records of past land-cove

Bränder utgör en viktig roll i jordens system. Det är kritiskt för oss att förstå bränder och dess drivkrafter, för att på så sätt kunna förutspå brändernas förändring på grund av klimatförändring. Den här studien använder sig av Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) brandens area produkt MCD45A1 för att karakterisera bränder. Högupplöst data är omformaterad till 0.25° × 0.25° cellWildfires play an important role in the earth system. Understanding the relationship between wildfires and their drivers is critical for us to predict fire regime transformations under the changing climate and anthropogenic influences. This study used the novel Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) burned area product MCD45A1 to characterize wildfires. The high resolution data were

In the world we live in today, the presence and claims of crisis abound – from climate change, financial and political crisis to depression, livelihoods and personal security crisis. There is a challenge to studying crisis due to the ways in which crisis as a notion, condition and experience refers to and operates at various societal levels. Further, different kinds of crisis can overlap and inter

Reference pollen data for use in interpreting fossil pollen assemblages may be either collected as surface samples or monitored by means of pollen traps. Surface samples can be obtained from moss polsters or lake-surface sediment, or exceptionally soil, leaf litter, or snow. The advantage of such samples is that a large number can be collected relatively quickly. Within the resulting pollen assemb

Studies investigating the footprint of nations have reported significant carbon-leakage between countries and the need to track emissions responsibility under a consumption-based accounting to complement traditional production estimates. Nonetheless, these works have largely ignored the impact of consumption by sectors in generating greenhouse gas emissions, which remained estimated under a produc

Recent literature stresses the increasing importance of global innovation networks as a new mechanism to organize innovation across geographical space. This paper investigates if institutional diversity, defined at the level of the firm, influences firms’ engagement in GINs. Institutional diversity provides knowledge about the institutional context of other countries, increased capabilities to dea

Importance: Persistent disparities in mortality across countries suggest uneven improvements in living standards and access to life-extending health technologies, as well as context-specific obstacles. Studies have analyzed cross-country inequality in mortality but have not widely contextualized those disparities in terms of developmental progress relative to a frontier representing a level of mor
