The Boston Harbor Cleanup, Paul F. Levy, Michael S. Connor

New England Journal of Public Policy

Boston Harbor earned a widespread reputation as "the dirtiest harbor in the nation" during the 1988 presidential campaign. Well before that campaign began, though, efforts were under way to reduce the amount of pollution entering the harbor. The Massachusetts Water Resources Authority was created in 1985 to undertake a massive public works program — including construction of a 1.3 billion-gallon-per-day sewage treatment plant and a sludge fertilizer processing plant — to end the decades-old practice of dumping sewage wastes into the ocean. The program will also cause water and sewer charges to rise dramatically during a fifteen-year period.

Risk Estimation And Expert Judgment: The Case Of Yucca Mountain, Kristin Shrader-Frechette

RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)

Professor Shrader-Frechette discusses factors responsible for acute disagreement between the federal government and Nevada citizens over potential Risks at Yucca Mountain and focuses on the use of expert judgment, concluding that some of them appear to exemplify "bad science." That aside, she argues that 1,000 year predictions cannot be made from current knowledge of geology or, e.g., institutional behavior and concludes that permanent disposal of radioactive waste is currently impossible.

Testing The Role Of Technical Information In Public Risk Perception, Branden B. Johnson, Peter M. Sandman, Paul Miller

RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)

It is widely believed that more detail about health effects and likely exposure routes is apt to reduce citizens' concerns about low-probability Risks. The authors' study suggests that providing such detail may not be as useful as, e.g., addressing public concerns and keeping citizens current on officials' actions.

Presence Of Rudist Bearing Limestone Blocks Derived From The Arabian Platform In Gevaş (Van) Ophiolite, Sacit Özer

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration

The Gevaş ophiolite consists of ultramafic rocks, gabros, lavas, tuffs, cherts, shales, and it contains also limestone blocks. The majority of these limestone blocks are unfossiliferous. The fossiliferous limestones are observed only around İkizler and Dilmetaş villages. The sandy limestones cropping out near İkizler village have rare fossil such as rudists, gastropods, and some coral fragments. However, the limestone block of Dilmetaş village contain a rich macrofauna consisting of rudist, gastropods, lamellibranchs and corals. The rudist fauna consist of Dictyoptychus cf. euphratica, Dictyoptychus sp., Hatayia sp., Hippurites syriaca, Hippurites comucopiae, Vaccinites sp. and Sabinia sp. indicating a Maestrichtian age.
