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?

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.

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

In collaboration with my friend and sound artist Korana Jelača who composed a piece that accompanies the text. Very experimental

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.
