Schools Respond To Risk Management Programs For Asbestos, Lead In Drinking Water And Radon, Ann Fisher, Lauraine G. Chestnut, Ruth H. Chapman, Robert D. Rowe
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Based on a study of the three EPA-initiated, public school risk management programs noted in the title, the authors find that state agency involvement is an important factor in the success of such programs. They also find, e.g., that school districts are justifiably reluctant to comply with tentative programs

Advancing Understanding Of Knowledge's Role In Lay Risk Perception, Branden B. Johnson
Advancing Understanding Of Knowledge's Role In Lay Risk Perception, Branden B. Johnson
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Emphasizing how knowledge affects lay Risk perception, summarizing studies and suggesting further research, the author differentiates between knowledge production, knowledge dissemination and information processing as affected by, e.g., heuristics and Risk aversion. He also suggests that better understanding of lay knowledge can also illuminate experts' hazard knowledge.

A Gravity Investigation Of The Fayette Structural Zone And Surrounding Area, Northeast Iowa, Richard L. Kellogg, Christopher Meinen
A Gravity Investigation Of The Fayette Structural Zone And Surrounding Area, Northeast Iowa, Richard L. Kellogg, Christopher Meinen
Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS
A gravity survey was conducted over approximately 2600 square kilometers of northeast Iowa. The survey was undertaken to provide detailed gravity coverage at approximately one mile intervals and to investigate the sources of gravity anomalies in the study area. An additional objective was to verify with gravity data the presence of the Fayette Structural Zone, previously identified on the basis of magnetic linears. Four hundred and twenty-seven gravity stations were occupied and data from these stations combined with extant data from the Geological Survey Bureau of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources to produce the gravity interpretation. A Bouger gravity …
Habitat And Distribution Of Plants Special To Iowa's Driftless Area, William P. Pusateri, Dean M. Roosa, Donald R. Farrar
Habitat And Distribution Of Plants Special To Iowa's Driftless Area, William P. Pusateri, Dean M. Roosa, Donald R. Farrar
Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS
A portion of the Upper Midwest escaped glaciation during the two most recent glacial epochs. This "Driftless Area", also known in Iowa as the "Paleozoic Plateau", comprises some 39,000 square kilometers (15,000 square miles) in the states of Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. Today the highly dissected terrain provides a variety of habitats supporting a rich and diverse flora including many plants special to the area, i.e., principally, in Iowa, restricted to the Driftless Area. These special plants have received much attention, often having been discussed as possible relicts from past floras. However, distribution data for these species beyond the …
Well-Water Quality Data From A Volunteer Sampling Program: Audubon County, Iowa, L. S. Seigley, G. R. Hallberg, P. R. Walther, G. A. Miller
Well-Water Quality Data From A Volunteer Sampling Program: Audubon County, Iowa, L. S. Seigley, G. R. Hallberg, P. R. Walther, G. A. Miller
Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS
This study presents the results of a countywide volunteer sampling of private well-water. Volunteers collected 231 well-water samples in Audubon County for nitrate-nitrogen (NO3,-N) and total coliform bacteria analyses during September 1988. Questionnaires were completed at all sites to document well construction, age and depth of well, well placement relative to septic system, barnyard/feedlots, location of chemical mixing/tank rinsing, and presence of abandoned wells.

Economic Impacts Of Noxious Facilities: Incorporating The Effects Of Risk Aversion, Leslie A. Nieves
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
The author suggests an integrative approach for projecting economic impacts of facilities that elicit public Risk aversion. She incorporates both economic stimulus effects and perception-based effects of facilities on the host area economy. Empirical findings are compared and an impact estimation framework is suggested for integrating psychometric and econometric techniques.
Climate Change Policy: Mixing Politics And Uncertainty, Dean Marriott
Climate Change Policy: Mixing Politics And Uncertainty, Dean Marriott
Maine Policy Review
Global climate change has garnered some media attention, but has failed to gather the attention of most governmental decision makers and the public. In an effort to advance concerns about the issue, the New England Governors and Eastern Canadian Premiers sponsored a three-day symposium on climate change last May 19-21 in Portland. At the symposium, scientists and public officials from both the U.S. and Canada explored the science of climate change, the potential implications and impact of climate change on this region, and the possible policy responses. Dean Marriott [and James Bruce and Mark Victor, this issue] reflecting the breadth …

Implications Of The Clean Air Act Amendments For The Northeast, Joseph Belanger
Maine Policy Review
The Clean Air Acts Amendments (CAA) of 1990 continue to affect public policy at the federal, state and local levels of government. At the PURE ’93 Conference last January, "Alternatives to Traditional Regulation," one panel explored the implications of the CAA on the Northeast. Joseph A. Belanger of the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection provided this assessment of Title 1 of the CAA, particularly with respect to ozone attainment requirements.

Range Expansion Of The Great-Tailed Grackle In The 1900s, James J. Dinsmore, Stephen J. Dinsmore
Range Expansion Of The Great-Tailed Grackle In The 1900s, James J. Dinsmore, Stephen J. Dinsmore
Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS
In 1900, the range of the Great-tailed Grackle extended north of the Mexican border only into Texas. Since then, it has expanded its range greatly. It now nests in 14 states and has strayed to an additional eight states and three Canadian provinces. Much of this expansion has occurred since 1960. Great-tails often stray far from their normal range, especially in spring. Most of these strays are single individuals. In states where they have nested, breeding birds typically reach the state a few years after the first reports of the species. Great-tailed Grackles do well in a variety of human …
