“…Drawing from fourteen months of ethnographic research in Accra in 2017 and 2021, I engage with the material movements of sand across the city, as it travels from extraction zones (or pits) to lorries and then to places of consumption. The article reveals the diverse labours, livelihoods and income-seeking practices that coalesce around sand's material economies and their multiple temporalities (Kothari and Arnall 2020)aligning with a literature that recognizes the complex and differentiated livelihood implications of sand's extraction and consumption (Anokye et al 2022;Marschke and Rousseau 2022;Marschke et al 2021;Lamb and Fung 2022;Lamb et al 2019). By honing in on the material behaviours and temporal junctures of sand as it shifts its shape, form and direction, the article draws out the ways in which sand emerges as a platform for exchange, negotiation, different forms of labour, diverse livelihoodsand ultimately income.…”

This article deploys sand as a potential way of engaging with contemporary livelihoods in the Ghanaian city of Accra – one of many metropolitan nodes in an urbanizing region of West Africa. Both as a very real material at the heart of concrete urbanization and as metaphorically indicative of the shifting landscapes of opportunity and income on which lives and livelihoods are marked out, sand is offered as a way of seeing and writing about the city. The article brings these two facets of urban sand together in more concrete ways, considering how the material production of the city becomes the uneven, uncertain ground of urban life-making. Drawing from fourteen months of ethnographic fieldwork in Accra, the article engages with the movements of sand across the city, as it travels from extraction zones (or pits) to lorries and then to places of consumption. By honing in on the material behaviours and temporal junctures of sand as it shifts its shape, form and directions, the article draws out the ways in which sand emerges as a platform for exchange, negotiation and ultimately income for different people across the city region. In turn, it offers a share in the sands as a tentative holding space for the kinds of claims made on and through sand, positioning them as indicative of a dweller-led, emergent politics that claims a share of an income, livelihood and urban future.

The high demand for sand as a result of urbanization, population growth, increased demand for housing and infrastructure development causes excessive sand exploitation, which can have a negative impact on the environment due to weak mining governance. This study aims to analyze the impact and mining activities on social, economic and environmental conditions in Padang Pariaman Regency. In addition, it also analyzes the management of sand, stone and gravel mining in Padang Pariaman Regency. This research was conducted in Padang Pariaman Regency, West Sumatra Province. The data in this study used secondary data obtained from BPS and primary data related to mining governance in Padang Pariaman District obtained through in-depth interviews with nagari and community officials. The results showed that the output of the mining and quarrying sector had a good impact on social, economic variables, but had a negative impact on the environment in the mining area. This indicates that the concept of sustainable development has not been achieved in the study area. Therefore, the importance of mining governance and collaboration between actors both local communities, nagari officials, local governments and private parties involved in sand, stone and gravel mining business in Padang Pariaman Regency.

“…Countries like Bangladesh, Myanmar, Laos and Malaysia show greater than 20% average annual growth in aggregate consumption of the last 20 years (Fig. 8), are known areas of sand mining conflict (30,31) with opaque sand sourcing issues and are among the most geologically complex areas in the world. As an this is a non-peer reviewed preprint submitted to EarthArXiv 13 example of potential fingerprinting leverage in this region we highlight summaries of known compositional variability in sand across Bangladesh and Myanmar from previously published work in Fig.…”

Globally increasing demand for construction sand needs to be met with transparent and responsible supply-networks. Currently, there are no scalable methods for tracing construction sand distribution without direct observation. We examined sand “fingerprinting” as a potential tool to trace construction sand supply-networks from “source to sink” in a case study from Texas, USA. Both natural bulk major element and optical petrography fingerprints are preserved through construction sand processing and transport such that sand can be tied back to its original mining source even at the final point of distribution. Additionally, we developed an image analysis model called sandID that is ~90% effective at determining the original mining source of sand in the study area. Our results demonstrate that sand fingerprinting, has untapped potential to support traceability and certification schemes and to support monitoring and enforcement in areas where there are concerns about illegal, illicit or simply unknown construction sand sourcing.
