“…The historic industrial landscape of Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula has been studied extensively (Gohman, 2013;Hoagland, 2010;Lankton, 2010;Martin, 1999;Quivik, 2007;Scarlett, 2014) and much of it is the fortunate ward of numerous local heritage sites, historical societies, and administrative entities working to protect and share its rich history (Liesch, 2014;See, 2013). Many of these studies and those in other, similarly dynamic historic landscapes would benefit from the addition of 3D data visualizations; the robust and flexible CGA code developed here is modifiable and applicable to a diversity of historic landscapes.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to create a longitudinal data-driven model of change over time in a postindustrial landscape, using the “Copper Country” of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula as a case study. The models resulting from this project will support the heritage management and public education goals of the contemporary communities and Keweenaw National Historical Park that administer this nationally significant mining region through accessible, engaging, and interpretable digital heritage. Design/methodology/approach The paper applies Esri’s CityEngine procedural modeling software to an existing historical big data set. The Copper Country Historical Spatial Data Infrastructure, previously created by the HESA lab, contains over 120,000 spatiotemporally specific building footprints and other built environment variables. This project constructed a pair of 3D digital landscapes comparing the built environments of 1917 and 1949, reflecting the formal and functional evolution of several of the most important copper mining, milling, and smelting districts of Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula. Findings This research discovered that CityEngine, while intended for rapid 3D modeling of the contemporary urban landscape, was sufficiently robust and flexible to be applied to modeling serial historic industrial landscapes. While this novel application required some additional coding and finish work, by harnessing this software to existing big data sets, 48,000 individual buildings were rapidly visualized using several key variables. Originality/value This paper presents a new and useful application of an existing 3D modeling software, helping to further illuminate and inform the management and conservation of the rich heritage of this still-evolving postindustrial landscape.

“…When studying such specifi c spaces where resource extraction takes place, for example, scholars often resort to "landscapes" as an analytical framework (e.g., Grund 2016;Halvaksz 2008;Liesch 2014). The landscape functions as a form of modifi ed environment, and thus a specifi c and geographically determined space as well.…”

“…The borders of the oilscape are permeable, but the analytical focus provided by the concept of scapes refl ects a certain perspective of the actors on an issue-other examples are mines (Ey and Sherval 2016), coal (Portal 2018) or even water (Karpouzoglou anf Vij 2017). The analysis in this book therefore represents a contribution to the literature on the anthropology of oil and resource extraction by presenting a new view of the broader category of "landscapes of extraction" (see e.g., Grund 2016;Halvaksz 2008;Liesch 2014;Wheeler 2014) in the form of timescapes (see e.g., Adam 1998;Lanzano 2018), or minescapes (see Ey and Sherval 2015). The analysis is therefore meant to represent a certain perspective on oil and gas extraction from an actor-centered point of view.…”

Living on a Time Bomb: Local Negotiations of Oil Extraction in a Mexican Community

Providing a holistic understanding of extensive oil extraction in rural Mexico, this book focuses on a campesino community, where oil extraction is deeply inscribed into the daily lives of the community members. The book shows how oil shapes the space where it is extracted in every aspect and produces multiple uncertainties. The community members express these uncertainties using the metaphor of the time bomb. The book shows how they find ways to "live off the time bomb" by using mechanisms of short-term coping and long-term adaptation and thus, developing the capability to determine their lives despite the ever-changing challenges.
