  • EXPLORING LAND USE CHANGE IN A GLOBALISED WORLD (Book chapter) What is Telecoupling?

    Published on May 5, 2019
    Book chapter -- preview of first 20 pages

  • CURRENT OPINION IN ENVIRO SUSTAINABILITY - Governing flows in telecoupled land systems

    Published on May 1, 2019
    We evaluate whether recent land-system science research into telecoupling provides a basis to set normative goals or priorities for addressing sustainability in coupled human-natural systems.

  • ECOLOGICAL INDICATORS - Guidance for assessing interregional ecosystem service flows

    Published on April 14, 2019
    We compile different indicators for assessing interregional ES flows and evaluate their suitability for national and regional ES assessments.

  • SUSTAINABILITY -- The Role of Citizen Science in Conservation under the Telecoupling Framework

    Published on April 2, 2019
    We use the monarch butterfly, a migratory species of high conservation value, to illustrate how citizen science data can be utilized in telecoupling research to help inform conservation decisions.

  • SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT - Interactive National Virtual Water-Energy Nexus Networks

    Published on March 29, 2019
    We constructed and analyzed interprovincial virtual water and energy transfer networks, using China (the largest energy consumer and is undergoing severe water scarcity) as a demonstration.

  • APPLIED ENERGY - Shift in a national virtual energy network

    Published on March 21, 2019
    The total virtual energy transferred from energy scarce to energy-abundant provinces increased from 43.2% to 47.5% from 2007 to 2012.

  • SUSTAINABILITY -- Telecoupling Research: The First Five Years

    Published on February 21, 2019
    A systematic review of the first five years of telecoupling research to evaluate the state of telecoupling science and identify strengths, areas to be improved, and promising avenues for future study.

  • SUSTAINABILITY -- Complex interrelationships between ecosystem services supply and tourism demand: General framework and evidence from the origin of three Asian rivers

    Published on December 19, 2018
    This study identifies complex interrelationships between the demand for nature-based tourism, which is a type of cultural ES, ES supply, and the economy simultaneously, using China’s Qinghai Province as a demonstration site.

  • SUSTAINABILITY -- Toward rigorous telecoupling causal attribution: a systematic review and typology

    Published on November 27, 2018
    Systematic review of causal attribution in the telecoupling literature (n = 89 studies) and development of a standardized causal terminology and typology for consistent use in telecoupling research.

  • ECOSYSTEM SERVICES -- Global relationships between biodiversity and nature-based tourism in protected areas

    Published on October 30, 2018
    We present results on the interplay between biodiversity conservation and nature-based tourism, while controlling for environmental and socioeconomic factors in and surrounding terrestrial PAs worldwide.

  • ANNUAL REVIEW OF ENVIRONMENT AND RESOURCES - China’s Environment on a Metacoupled Planet

    Published on October 19, 2018
    We suggest systems approaches such as nexus approaches and flow-centered governance to help China achieve ecological civilization and become an environmental leader on a metacoupled planet.

  • ECOLOGY AND SOCIETY - Network analysis as a tool for quantifying the dynamics of metacoupled systems: an example using global soybean trade

    Published on October 14, 2018
    Network analysis is a powerful and flexible tool that has been used to quantify social, economic, and ecological systems. We evaluate the utility of network analysis for quantifying metacoupled systems by assessing global soybean trade among 217 countries.

  • JOURNAL OF GEOGRAPHICAL SCIENCES -- Spillover effect offsets the conservation effort in the Amazon

    Published on October 4, 2018
    We used the two supply-chain agreements implemented in the Amazon biome as examples and evaluated their spillover effects to the Cerrado.

  • ECOLOGY AND SOCIETY -- Complex effects of natural disasters on protected areas through altered telecouplings

    Published on September 14, 2018
    With long-term data collected in China’s Wolong Nature Reserve for giant pandas, we applied the telecoupling framework to assess the effects of the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake on telecouplings that link Wolong with the rest of the world

  • ECOLOGY AND SOCIETY -- Feedback of telecoupling: the case of a payments for ecosystem services program

    Published on July 9, 2018
    This study highlights that local human–nature interactions driven by telecouplings, such as human–wildlife conflicts, may trigger feedbacks that affect telecouplings themselves.

  • APPLIED GEOGRAPHY -- The Telecoupling GeoApp: A Web-GIS application to systematically analyze telecouplings and sustainable development

    Published on May 16, 2018
    To operationalize the framework, we have developed the Telecoupling GeoApp, a new web-based component of the Telecoupling Toolbox that provides researchers and practitioners with a useful platform to address globally important issues.

  • PNAS -- Importing food damages domestic environment: Evidence from global soybean trade

    Published on May 4, 2018
    Our study shows that international food trade can also lead to environmental pollution in importing countries.

  • Peruvian anchoveta as a telecoupled fisheries system

    Published on December 21, 2017
    As economic and ideational globalization accelerate, fisheries are becoming more globally connected via movements of fish products and fisheries finances, information, and stakeholders throughout the world.

  • ECOLOGY AND SOCIETY -- Integration across a metacoupled world

    Published on November 26, 2017
    This paper presents an integrated framework of metacoupling: human-nature interactions within a system (intracoupling), between distant systems (telecoupling), and between adjacent systems (pericoupling).

  • ECOLOGY AND SOCIETY -- Telecoupling Toolbox: spatially explicit tools for studying telecoupled human and natural systems

    Published on October 19, 2017
    We introduce the Telecoupling Toolbox, the first set of tools developed to map and identify the five major interrelated components of the telecoupling framework: systems, flows, agents, causes, and effects.
