Taxidermy And Technology: A History Of Climate Change Exhibitions At American Museums Of Natural History, Laura Haushalter, Amy Woodson-Boulton May 2026

Taxidermy And Technology: A History Of Climate Change Exhibitions At American Museums Of Natural History, Laura Haushalter, Amy Woodson-Boulton

Honors Thesis

My research is on the history of temporary and permanent climate change exhibitions at natural history museums in the United States. My primary research question is: How have natural history museums responded to human-caused environmental destruction through their exhibitions, and what, if anything, are natural history museums doing now to address our current environmental crisis? My research begins with a historiography of natural museums and examines how early 20th-century museums responded to a sense of environmental crisis and widespread threats of species extinction. In the early 20th century, museums shifted from Victorian-era glass cases to modern and artistic dioramas that …

Spatial And Temporal Variations In Canopy Cover And Ecosystem Services In Neighborhoods Of The City Of Orlando, Digna M. Rivera-Reyes, Elvia J. Melendez-Ackerman, Luis E. Velazquez-Roman Dec 2025

Spatial And Temporal Variations In Canopy Cover And Ecosystem Services In Neighborhoods Of The City Of Orlando, Digna M. Rivera-Reyes, Elvia J. Melendez-Ackerman, Luis E. Velazquez-Roman

Cities and the Environment (CATE)

Many cities are prioritizing urban tree planting to improve livability through ecosystem services. Yet, urban studies often reveal inequities in tree canopy cover across socio-economic groups. Using an environmental justice framework, this study analyzed 80 residential neighborhoods in Orlando, Florida—using census and iTree data—to assess relationships between land cover, canopy change, ecosystem services, and socio-economic variation. We specifically asked: a) Is tree canopy cover (and associated ecosystem services) equitably distributed across Orlando neighborhoods, or is it correlated with their socio-economic and demographic profiles? b) Has Orlando’s overall canopy cover increased since 2010? c) Do tree requests submitted by residents to …

Using Ecorevelatory Design And Landscape Biography To Promote Ecological Literacy In Menomonee Valley, Milwaukee, Wi, Usa, Jennifer Engelke Dec 2025

Using Ecorevelatory Design And Landscape Biography To Promote Ecological Literacy In Menomonee Valley, Milwaukee, Wi, Usa, Jennifer Engelke

Cities and the Environment (CATE)

Menomonee Valley in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA, has undergone a remarkable transformation from a defunct brownfield site into a vibrant landscape of community parks within a revitalized industrial corridor. This change was driven by ecological restoration, stormwater management, and renewed connections to the Menomonee River. Central to this transformation was the use of ecorevelatory design, which draws on historical narratives and site-specific stories to highlight the presence and importance of more-than-human elements such as water, vegetation, and wildlife. To assess how contemporary users engage with these ecological features, the study employed stakeholder interviews, intercept surveys, and site observations. These methods explored …

Toward Climate Resilient Cities: Endorsing Green Justice Amid Unequal Distribution And Disparities In Fast-Sprawling Urban Nagpur, Prajakta Pimpalshende, Manu Thomas, Jayshree Shukla, Shruti Lahoti, Shalini Dhyani

Cities and the Environment (CATE)

Population expansion and accelerated land development frequently overlook the inclusion of green infrastructure, leading to disparities in Urban Green Space (UGS) distribution. In rapidly urbanizing cities of the Global South, ensuring socio-ecological connectivity is vital for promoting sustainable, climate-resilient, multifunctional landscapes. This study uses Nagpur, a rapidly expanding Indian city, as a case study to investigate spatial inequities in UGS access through the lens of green justice. We employed the Demand Supply Gap assessment (World Health Organization and Urban and Regional Development Plans Formulation and Implementation, Government of India guidelines), the 3-30-300 green space rule as a guiding principle to …

'That All May Be One’: Incarnation, Solidarity, And Anti-Racism In Jesuit Education, Yancy Hughes Dominick Dec 2025

'That All May Be One’: Incarnation, Solidarity, And Anti-Racism In Jesuit Education, Yancy Hughes Dominick

Jesuit Higher Education: A Journal

Jesuit colleges and universities in the US have been striving to become anti-racist. This work is often tied to mission and to a shared commitment to Jesuit and Catholic values like a faith that does justice and the dignity of all persons. At the same time, however, many Jesuit institutions frame their commitment to anti-racism in language that does not appeal to specific aspects of Jesuit tradition; likewise, mission and Jesuit identity is often described in ways that make no overt reference to anti-racism. A robust anti-racism, I argue, arises necessarily out of Jesuit Catholic thought, and fully realized Jesuit …

Urban Tree Committees Of New England, Usa: Describing Past, Present, And Future Regional Trends, Alicia F. Coleman, Danica Doroski, Richard W. Harper, Alexander J. Elton, Eli Grigorian, Eric E. Griffith

Cities and the Environment (CATE)

In the United States, grassroots responses have emerged to supplement urban forest management efforts traditionally led by local, county, and federal governments. Urban tree committees are one such grassroots response, whose service exists between a formalized organization and ad-hoc task force. While past research has described the roles and responsibilities of various urban forest management actors, no studies have previously established a baseline understanding of regional urban tree committees, including the membership of paid and volunteer committees, their programming and educational initiatives, and key audiences. In this study, we distributed a participant survey to all known urban tree committees of …

“Fixing” Settler Capitalism: Un/Sustainability In The Former Fort Ord, Clare M. Beer, Sara Salazar Hughes Jan 2025

“Fixing” Settler Capitalism: Un/Sustainability In The Former Fort Ord, Clare M. Beer, Sara Salazar Hughes

Urban and Environmental Studies Faculty Works

California's former Fort Ord Army Base is located on the unceded Indigenous territory of the Ohlone Costanoan Esselen Nation. After seven decades as a training ground for foreign wars, the decommissioning of the base triggered an economic, demographic, and cultural crisis for greater Monterey. The solution to this crisis, the Fort Ord Base Reuse Plan, promised sustainable development in the form of local environmental protection, public higher education, and economic growth. We argue that the Fort Ord Base Reuse Plan illustrates a settler sustainability fix, which the state deploys to secure settler capitalist futurity on the Monterey Peninsula at the …

Community Co-Production Of The Meaning Of Local Climate Resilience And Action: A Case Study, Michele Romolini, Mary Hillemeier, Dustin L. Herrmann Dec 2024

Community Co-Production Of The Meaning Of Local Climate Resilience And Action: A Case Study, Michele Romolini, Mary Hillemeier, Dustin L. Herrmann

Center for Urban Resilience Scholarship

In the face of a rapidly urbanizing and warming planet, there is urgency for local governments to develop community resilience strategies. Successful climate change adaptation will likely require the inclusion of local knowledge, especially from historically marginalized communities. One pathway for this is through research projects and government planning activities that employ processes of co-production to generate actionable knowledge relevant to the community. This paper describes the approach, results, and reflections of a multi-sectoral partnership organized to engage residents of a small municipality to co-produce the meaning of community climate resilience, through methods including individual interviews, cognitive mapping, and a …

Cities and the Environment (CATE)

In this perspective, we draw from 20 years of implementing the Stewardship Mapping and Assessment Project (STEW-MAP) to show how civic actors provide capacity and local knowledge needed for effective decision-making and implementation in the face of multiple interconnected stressors, including climate change and inequality. Urban areas are striving to achieve sustainability and resilience goals while advancing diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice. There is broad recognition that systematic change cannot be achieved via single sector solutions. Rather, just and equitable sustainability and resilience outcomes will be achieved through multi-sector, trans-disciplinary efforts led by diverse and inclusive partnerships. Processes of collaboration …

Investigating Social-Ecological Linkages In Baltimore, Md: Environmental Stewardship, Green Stormwater Infrastructure, And Tree Canopy Change At The Neighborhood Level, Sarah Ponte, Nancy F. Sonti, Dexter H. Locke, Jennifer Mullinax, Mitchell Pavao-Zuckerman

Cities and the Environment (CATE)

Environmental stewardship organizations in Baltimore play important roles in taking care of the local environment through conservation, management, restoration, monitoring, education, and other efforts. These diverse activities were captured in Baltimore’s Stewardship Mapping and Assessment Project (STEW-MAP) surveys in 2011 and 2019. Despite previous research, knowledge gaps remain about the spatial and temporal dynamics of environmental stewardship groups and their relationships with elements of the built environment, such as green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) and tree canopy cover. Using spatial Bayesian regression, we examine how 1) voluntary GSI, 2) regulatory GSI, 3) tree canopy cover, and 4) tree canopy cover change …

Why Be A Treekeeper? Connecting Involvement To Volunteer Characteristics And Motivations, Jess Vogt, Annalise Nordgren, Camila Cortez, Al De Reu Nov 2024

Why Be A Treekeeper? Connecting Involvement To Volunteer Characteristics And Motivations, Jess Vogt, Annalise Nordgren, Camila Cortez, Al De Reu

Cities and the Environment (CATE)

Definitions of involvement in the volunteer literature vary from the simple binary metric (volunteering or not) to frequency (how often) to metrics that use additive or statistical indices to capture concepts like duration, commitment, and satisfaction. In this paper, we examine the connections between several dimensions of volunteer involvement and the characteristics and motivations of volunteers. Who participates in volunteer urban forest stewardship? What motivates individuals to sign-up and then to continue volunteering? Does volunteers’ involvement vary with demographic factors or their motivations? We examine these questions using the results of an online survey of TreeKeepers, volunteer participants in an …

Stacked Energyscapes: Conceptualizing Fossil Fuel And Renewable Energy Entanglements In Low-Carbon Transitions, Tyler Harlan, Jennifer Baka Sep 2024

Stacked Energyscapes: Conceptualizing Fossil Fuel And Renewable Energy Entanglements In Low-Carbon Transitions, Tyler Harlan, Jennifer Baka

Urban and Environmental Studies Faculty Works

Energy transitions are often characterized as discrete progressions away from fossil fuels to renewable energy, typically in different geographic spaces, which result in “winning” and “losing” communities. Policies have been enacted to encourage renewable energy investment in “losing” fossil fuel extractive communities. Such conceptualizations do not sufficiently consider how fossil fuel extraction and renewable energy intersect with and shape each other in these spaces. We introduce the term “stacked energyscapes” to better characterize these interactions. Rather than replacing a fossil fuel-based energy system, we argue that renewable energy is “stacked” atop it, entangling their sociotechnical “energyscapes” together in ways that …

Blue Spaces As Social Spaces: Measuring The Uses And Values Of Urban Waterfronts, Anne H. Toomey, Monica Palta, Michelle Johnson, Jason Smith, Elizabeth Balladares, Novem Auyeung, Erika Svendsen, Rob Pirani, Georgina Cullman, Julia Corrado, Lindsay Campbell

Cities and the Environment (CATE)

Due to a combination of climate change-driven threats and economic opportunities, cities across the world are investing billions of dollars in waterfront infrastructure and coastal restoration. Urban planners and park managers are often tasked with designing and programming blue spaces to maximize ecosystem services (ES) for local users. However, it is not always clear which ES are most valued, and by whom. Thus, the design of urban waterfronts presents challenges in identifying how communities engage with these spaces and how new planning might alter such uses if not accounted for. This paper describes a Rapid Social Assessment (RSA) methodology that …

Evaluating The Impact Of Trees On Residential Thermal Conditions In Los Angeles Using Community Science, Edith B. De Guzman Sep 2023

Evaluating The Impact Of Trees On Residential Thermal Conditions In Los Angeles Using Community Science, Edith B. De Guzman

Cities and the Environment (CATE)

As the planet warms, heat-vulnerable communities in cities face increased heat-related risks including lost productivity, reduced learning outcomes, illness, and death. Despite the growing threat of heat, effective approaches to alleviate urban heat are available. Tree planting has received investment in a growing number of cities around the world, but there are significant gaps in our understanding of the cooling potential of trees in the urban context, particularly the impacts on indoor spaces where urban dwellers spend most of their time. Our study engaged community scientists in Los Angeles County, USA to collect data on the impacts of trees on …

Commentary On Producing Environmental Information From Stakeholder Engagement, Josh Rosa

Cities and the Environment (CATE)

This article provides practice-informed advice, guided by and responsive to theory, for policymakers who seek to improve their environmental policies by generating their own informational value from their interactions with stakeholders. First, the article explains a self-reinforcing opaqueness of conventional environmental policymaking and how this opaqueness disproportionately and cumulatively impacts underrepresented communities. Drawing from the literature of social ecology, political economy, and political methodology, the article adumbrates opaqueness’ contributions to environmental injustice and identifies potential benefits of a more informative approach to stakeholder engagement. Next, the article explains specific methods that policymakers can use to convert stakeholder input into greater …

Balancing Human Development With Wildlife Habitat And Connectivity Through The Creation Of Land Use Regulations For Private Property In Los Angeles, California, Kat Superfisky

Cities and the Environment (CATE)

Urban areas are uniquely positioned to have a significant impact on biodiversity and the health and resilience of ecosystems and therefore play an essential role in advancing conservation goals. Unlike more “wildland” ecosystems, urban ecosystems are not solely owned and/or managed by public entities or with the sole goal of ecosystem restoration. The important plants, animals and ecosystems in cities are scattered across open spaces and public parks that are already protected and being managed for conservation, as well as on private properties that often comprise the majority of land in cities, which supports the need to address biodiversity and …
