This collection highlights three quintessentially Canadian themes: seasonality, links between mobility and natural resource development, and urbanites’ experiences of the environment through mobility. It divides the intersection of environmental and mobility history into two approaches. The chapters in the first section deal primarily with the construction and productive use of mobility technologies and infrastructure, as well as their environmental constraints and consequences. The chapters in the second section focus on consumers’ uses of those vehicles and pathways: on pleasure travel, tourism, and recreational mobility.
In this chapter from the virtual exhibition “Global Environments: A 360º Visual Journey,” Jeroen Oomen and Adam Sébire delve into the world of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies through a video triptych in Hellisheiði in Iceland. The three screens, shown here in one video, capture experiments at Hellishei∂i, aspects of the sequestered CO2, and an imagined future.
