Anyone knowing when exact(ish) carbon capture and storage stopped being categorized as geoengineering? It seems like it just slipped into being an ordinary feasible technology?

I am so much looking forward to this conversation!!!

So many things happening during #eseh2025, but for now: 🚨NEW PUBLICATION🚨 In “The pollution-industrial complex and the making of Denmark as an environmental frontrunner, 1965-1975” we explore how environmental regulation became a matter of technology rather than strict (and strictly) regulation.

Lucky to be a part of such a great team!

I am developing a course titled “Anthropocene Histories, History in the Anthropocene” at UCPH. My idea is to structure the it thematically through planetary boundaries. But what are the best texts around these days. I have the obvious stuff: Chakrabarty, Bonneuil & Fressoz, McNeill, Brown

I am thrilled to announce that I will be collaborating with Adam Wickberg and the brilliant group at KTH's Centre of Excellence for Anthropocene History this fall as a visiting scholar. So, if you are in proximity to Stockholm between September 1st and December 1st and want to hang out: HMU

‼️NEW EPISODE ALERT ‼️ This brand new episode, with my co-host @andersriel.bsky.social and guest Tone Huse, explores the colonial manifestations through architecture in kalaallit nunaat and how temporalities can reinforce the colonial project, but also be sites of resistance.

Check out our latest podcast episode where @sebmergence.bsky.social and I talk to Tone Huse about the Danish colonial modernization project in Kalaallit Nunaat (aka Greenland) whih she explores in her recent article "Temporal Displacement: Colonial Architecture and its Contestation".

For those selected few who know Danish: I have written an article that synthesizes #envhum #envhis perspectives on pollution for a popular media platform. I use examples from my PhD written @greenhouseuis.net. I warn against seeing pollution as a domain reserved for techno-science and politicians.

God forskerartikel skrevet af @sebmergence.bsky.social om kemikalier og miljøforurening. Politisk er det oftest ikke ligetil, at føre en grøn bæredygtig linje. Men det har langsigtede store konsekvenser som vi har sværere at forholde os til. #dkgreen videnskab.dk/kultur-samfu...
