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. 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
