*Memorial U’s Josh Lepawsky visualizing transboundary shipments of e-waste*:
> Memorial University Department of Geography’s Dr. Josh Lepawsky, who leads
> the Reassembling Rubbish project, has just released interactive
> visualizations of global e-waste flows. The visualizations draw on data
> available from the United Nations Commission on Trade and Development. The
> dataset assembled by Dr. Lepawsky and a team of graduate students is part
> of a larger investigation into the trade and traffic of discarded
> electronics (often referred to as ‘e-waste’). The visualizations require
> java and work best in Firefox or Safari and can be found at the following
> link: Reassembling Rubbish
> <http://scalar.usc.edu/works/reassembling-rubbish/visualizing-transboundary-shipments-of-e-waste?t=1405506877765>.
> Interested readers can also access free peer-reviewed papers associated
> with the dataset. These papers situate the data underlying the interactive
> visualizations in analytic detail. Memorial Geography News
