Desert Densities Sensing Atmospheric and Territorial Shifts in High-Density Desert Cities

Annual Meeting Proceedings

Author(s): Ersela Kripa

Dust surrounds us, saturating our bodies, cities, and landscapes with a nearly imperceptible airborne geology. Accelerating transcontinental migrations of airborne particulate in the US/Mexico borderland forge shifting binational territories, fluidly permeating boundaries between otherwise distinct nations, jurisdictions, and organisms. The shared geological, biological, and cultural material carried in the dust indexes reciprocal anthropogenic transformations, initiates unseen interdependencies, and has the potential to bind emerging, as-yet unaware constituencies in the region.
