Top 10 Posts for November 2011

ECSP Director Geoff Dabelko’s look at seven ways seven billion people affect the planet led the top 10 last month (by unique page views), followed by a number of posts on trends: visualizations of population, health, and climate trends; what El Niño and conflict patterns say about the relationship between the two; the policy decisions that led to a commitment to family planning in Rwanda; and the effects of global population on “peak water.” Captain Wayne Porter and Colonel Mark Mykleby’s new national security narrative presentation at the Wilson Center also remained popular, and a new guest contributor, American University student Olimar Maisonet-Guzman, joined the list for the first time:
