A City and Its River: Ellerbe Creek Watershed, Durham North Carolina
Recent reports document the destructive impacts of systemic environmental racism and economic inequities on biodiversity and human health in cities. Inspired by this work, our research is engaging community residents, conservation organizations, and undergraduate and graduate students in a year-long investigation in Ellerbe Creek watershed (Durham, NC). Ellerbe Creek is a 37 square-mile highly developed watershed in central Piedmont of NC. As in most human dominated landscapes, wildlife and plant diversity is limited to fragmented greenways and patchy forest parcels, streams are receiving a high diversity and concentration of pollutants, and socio-economic legacies of racial and income inequalities alter the structure and public access to the benefits of urban ecological systems. Our project seeks to merge the fields of biology, environmental chemistry, urban ecology, and social sciences to better understand how the distribution of ecological benefits and risks overlap with the distribution of economic and social capital of watershed residents. We ask: how are ecological amenities and chemical risks distributed relative to social and economic capital within the watershed?
