We argue that AI technologies are increasingly deployed to intensify forms of border violence that frame environmental protection as incompatible with human mobility. This alignment enables the consolidation of anti-migrant and climate-sceptical politics under the guise of technological efficiency. The eco-algorithmic border propels environmental imaginaries towards ecofascist narratives, and reinforcers extractive geopolitics and digitally mediated surveillance. The result is a global infrastructure that anticipates and disciplines climate-induced migration—particularly from the Global South—while facilitating planetary-scale resource extraction and national security agendas. Empowered by geo-spatial datasets and cloud infrastructures, the eco-algorithmic border moves towards paralysing genuine environmental and humanitarian activism, while further enhancing environmental and border imperialisms, and the profiling of counter-border actors and bordered subjects.","PeriodicalId":45999,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Borderlands Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147913454","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The high concentrations of pathogens present in SSOs poses a threat to the shared ecosystem and communities' health and well-being. Concerns related to an SSO effluent situated adjacent to a school in Naco, Arizona led to a academic-government-school partnership to assess children's exposure factors, environment and health related risk perceptions, and risk communication preferences. A survey administered to school staff (n=9 and parents (n=31) observed a lower hand/object-to-mouth behavior for children ages 4-6 compared to values in the literature, and the need to further assess exposure factors for children over six. While there was a general negative risk perception to SSOs, approximately half of respondents did not have/were not sure of any SSO related events. Using Bioregion/One Health and cross-border governance frameworks, this study highlights the governing barriers that exist during SSO events and underscores the need for community participation, effective intervention, and risk communication strategies.</p>","PeriodicalId":45999,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Borderlands Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12360766/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144973630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
