Cuánto tiempo le toma a un proyecto minero iniciar operaciones? En Perú, los legisladores sugiere que las concesiones permanencen “ociosas”, por lo que hay que recortar el tiempo. Las empresas dicen que requieren al menos 40 años. Qué dice la evidencia? 🧵

Buen episodio de @elhilopodcast.bsky.social. Generar industrias culturales y representación van de la mano - en los créditos de “El agente secreto” se menciona el no. de empleos que la película generó. Acá algunos streaming gratuitos de cine latinoamericano 🧵 (sí, Hollywood es muy aburrido)

Just as China’s emissions fall, the US rolls back the endangerment finding. Global climate leadership is clearly changing. Countries around the world will be torn between fossil business as usual or renewables-led industrialization. Maybe a mix? Either way, adaptation investment is now the priority.

As the US suffocates Cuba’s energy supply, the island bets on accelerating its energy transition. Already 38% of its energy matrix relies on solar, with ambitious plans to expand coverage ASAP. mronline.org/2026/02/09/c...

New publication! In this book chapter I examine why indigenous communities embed mining in their territorial projects & how state responses enhance indigenous vulnerability before (legal and illegal) mining. Published with @manchesterup.bsky.social manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/9781526181831/

The sum of the parts or something more than the sum of the parts? Corning Museum of Glass left me with lost of questions about the art/ science of lenses. Sand mining, glass industry and micro/macro sensing entangled at the same building. Hands down, one of the best museums I’ve visited in the US.

Fieldwork based methods, including direct observation, are increasingly displaced as data science and geospatial analysis become default methodologies. Trends identified by colleagues in ecology bear relevance for the environmental social sciences www.cell.com/trends/ecolo...
