Spatial indeterminacy and the construction of environmental knowledge

Auteur :
JIUSTO, S.

Description :
The paper is an attempt by an environmental analyst to show what a self-reflexive approach to environmental assessment might look like and a rumination on the opportunities and challenges such an undertaking entails. It uses a climate change-related case study regarding the attribution of carbon emissions from electricity use to various US states. The A. argues that both positivist and constructivist approaches are needed to understand human-environmental relations.
