Abstract: The Everglades, a unique subtropical region that embraces a variety of landscapes with diverse ecosystems, is the largest wetland in North America. It starts in Orlando and ends in Florida Bay, by the Keys, covering 15,000 km2 (5,600 mi2) (Finkl 1995). Known as the "river of grass", the Everglades provides the drinking water for South Florida, which includes one out of every three people living in the state of Florida. This area is also key to water resources that sustain agricultural businesses, among other enterprises in Southern Florida (Gaiser, Trexler and Wetzel 2012).The Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA), at southern Lake Okeechobee, is one of the most important regions for crop production in the state of ...

Abstract: The first part of this special issue on Rivers and Water in the South showcased some of the innovative geography research being done on the region's diverse river systems. In Part 1, Hess et al. (2024) developed and tested novel applications of UAV technology to measure the distribution and volume of large wood, a geomorphologically and ecologically important element of floodplains such as those found in their study area in the southern Missouri Ozarks. Another study in the Missouri Ozarks, this one by Owen et al. (2024), used several decades' worth of aerial imagery to measure planform change and identify disturbance zones associated with historical land-use changes on the Big River. Dobbs and Styers (2024) used ... Read More

Abstract: We present a before-after/control-impact study of the geomorphic response of a dam removal within an understudied region, Southern Appalachia.Evacuation of gravel sized sediment required less time and lower flow rates than previously hypothesized.Eleven months post-removal, ~19–20 percent of former impounded sediment is stored within the first 200 m downstream.506 days post-removal, previous bed textures of cobble remain buried by gravel within 1 km downstream.Dam removals are an increasingly used method for restoring riverine ecosystems as the ecological benefits of a removal outweigh the ecological costs and those of maintaining an aging infrastructure. Since the year 1912, 2,025 dams have been removed in the ... Read More

Abstract: The Congaree River Sediment Cleanup is the 150-year confluence of historical, ecological, and social factors.Short and long histories of the Columbia cofferdam shaped its emergence, size, shape, and duration.The cofferdam reveals how histories of carbon and coal tar increase understandings about environmental legacies.It is the summer of 2022. There is something afoot in the heart of Columbia, South Carolina. On the east bank of the Congaree River, formed by the convergence of the Saluda and Broad rivers just upstream, sits a strange thing. Crossing the Congaree into Columbia along the Gervais Street Bridge, one's eye is immediately drawn to it—a trapezoidal structure that at first glance looks something like a ... Read More

Abstract: Respondents in low-income neighborhoods drink significantly more bottled water.Low-income respondents were much more likely to drink bottled water for safety reasons.Intra-urban differences in perceived household water quality are an environmental justice issue.Bottled water consumption is on the rise globally, including in the United States. In fact, it is the most popular beverage in the industry, surpassing soft drinks for the seventh year in a row in 2022 (Moss 2023). The rise of bottled water is driven by a combination of factors: changes in consumer preferences, opportunistic strategies by beverage companies to implement sophisticated marketing, and notably, scares about tap water quality driven by ...

Abstract: Government entities tend to conceptualize abandoned mine land reclamation and its purpose in a siloed manner.Non-governmental actors often conceptualize mine land reclamation in a more holistic manner but are less able to exert control over an area.Through a case study of the Daniel Boone National Forest in eastern Kentucky, we suggest that federal agencies may benefit from working more closely with various NGOs and adopting a similarly holistic approach to mine land reclamation.Since the turn of the 20th century, coal mining has occupied a significant role in the economy and the cultural identity of the Appalachian Mountain region. Since then, the region has produced millions of tons of coal that have powered the ... Read More

Abstract: Lynn Peterson's Roadways For People occupies a peculiar space within contemporary transportation literature. In many ways, this text feels introductory — some might even say rudimentary — not unlike a textbook that might be assigned to an undergraduate in a community-based transportation planning seminar. But this poignant narrative offers much more than its simple layout and unsubtly persuasive prose may suggest. Behind Peterson's story of transportation past, present, and future is a manifesto — a call to arms against the planning practices of old that disenfranchised many young and aspirational professionals while segregating communities through a self-reinforcing system of automobility. Read in this context ... Read More

Abstract: The Spirit of Soul Food illustrates the intricate complexities of soul food showing that it is more than just a cuisine for black people but is intertwined with other issues that include geography, growing, cooking, economy, race, and justice. Christopher Carter, a social ethicist, and a practical theologian delves deeper into why our current dominant food system is riddled with inequities and structural racism, both at local and global scale. This is not by happenstance, but by design where through slavery and colonialism as well as its social and psychological remnants, an industrialized food system with a racist foundation of slave exploitation was created and still exists today as seen by factory farms ...

Abstract: Smothered and Covered: Waffle House and the Southern Imaginary by Ty Matejowsky serves not only as a celebration of the cultural footprint of the restaurant known as Waffle House, but as an opportunity to dive into the historical, political, and social context that surrounds it on the American landscape. This sense of celebration is made clear from the book's preface, which details a story of the author's visit to a Waffle House that goes poorly by many standards, and yet stands out as a cherished memory with his family in pleasant association and flavor of Waffle House. From this story, the author successfully sets the tone that this work is not afraid to critique the unpleasant and uncanny aspects of a Waffle ... Read More
