Sediment Transport By Dry Ravel, Emmanuel Gabet

Faculty Publications

Dry ravel is a general term that describes the rolling, bouncing, and sliding of individual particles down a slope and is a dominant hillslope sediment transport process in steep arid and semiarid landscapes. During fires, particles can be mobilized by the collapse of sediment wedges that have accumulated behind vegetation. On a daily basis, particles may be mobilized by bioturbation and by small landslides. Experiments on a dry ravel flume indicate that a basic expression of the momentum equation predicts the distance traveled by particles propelled down a rough surface. This equation is further elaborated to produce a nonlinear slope-dependent …

Environmental Sovereignty Discourse Of The Brazilian Amazon: National Politics And The Globalization Of Indigenous Resistance, Anne Marie Todd

Faculty Publications

This analysis explores the connection between globalization and national identity in cultural expressions of environmental sovereignty. Competing claims to resources in the Brazilian Amazon reflect changing notions of state authority and the role of indigenous citizens in protection of biodiversity. The debate between Brazilian state governments and the Yanomami Indians and seringueiros (Brazilian Rubber Tapper communities) illustrates the complex interaction of national identity and expressions of local culture in a global ecological context.

The Comparative Energetics And Growth Strategies Of Sympatric Antarctic And Sub Antarctic Fur Seal Pups, At Iles Crozet, J Py Arnould, S P. Luque, C Guinet, D P. Costa, J Kingston, Scott A. Shaffer

Faculty Publications, Biological Sciences

The period of maternal dependence is a time during which mammalian infants must optimise both their growth and the development of behavioural skills in order to successfully meet the demands of independent living. The rate and duration of maternal provisioning, post-weaning food availability and climatic conditions are all factors likely to influence the growth strategies of infants. While numerous studies have documented differences in growth strategies at high taxonomic levels, few have investigated those of closely related species inhabiting similar environments. The present study examined the body composition, metabolism and indices of physiological development in pups of Antarctic fur seals …

Extreme Water Velocities: Topographical Amplification Of Wave-Induced Flow In The Surf Zone Of Rocky Shores, Mark Denny, Luke Miller, M. Stokes, L. J. H. Hunt, B. S. T. Helmuth

Faculty Publications, Biological Sciences

Water velocities as high as 25 m s-1 have been recorded in the surf zone of wave-swept rocky shores-velocities more than twice the phase speed of the breaking waves with which they are associated. How can water travel twice as fast as the waveform that initially induces its velocity? We explore the possibility that the interaction of a wave with the local topography of the shore can greatly amplify the water velocities imposed on intertidal plants and animals. Experiments in a laboratory wave tank show that interactions between bores refracted by a prowlike beach can produce jets in which the …

Photography In The Mix: Flora-Fauna-Photo, Dore Bowen

The article examines the SF Camerawork exhibition Agitate: Negotiating the Photographic Process, which was co-curated by the author.

Sharing Indigenous Knowledge: To Share Or Not To Share? That Is The Question, Christine Hagar

Faculty Publications

The Internet and digital technology create new possibilities for the development of cultures,communities and knowledge. Over the last twenty years there has been a great increase in interest inindigenous knowledge from a variety of groups, including academia, development agencies and thecorporate world. Within this diverse range of interests, there have been initiatives to facilitate a globalnetwork to exchange indigenous knowledge by development agencies such as the World Bank's'Indigneous Knowledge for Development Program' and UNESCO's 'Best Practices of IndigenousKnowledge' database. The development agencies appear to be mainly concerned with systematizingindigenous knowledge and looking at the notion of indigenous knowledge as forming …

Pornography And Land Use Planning, Christine Oosterhous

Master's Projects

The major considerations on this subject for a court are whether any limitation on adult uses is based on content, or whether it is based on the secondary effects of these uses on the surrounding community. There have been a number of instances in the last years in which federal courts have found adult use zoning restrictions to be acceptable, if they have been motivated by a desire to protect neighborhood quality, as contrasted with impermissible desire to ban the message purveyed by the adult uses.

For jurisdictions, zoning is the first line of defense in regulating sexually oriented uses. …

Urban Regionalism And Smart Growth: The Oakland/San Leandro Example, Elizabeth Ruess Greene

Master's Projects

This planning report addresses the topic of regional collaboration and examines its latest iteration, which is known as smart growth. Smart growth efforts focus on restoring the urban core as a key component to revitalizing a region. An example of one such collaboration, the Oakland/San Leandro Joint Revitalization Plan, is evaluated to determine how effective an urban partnership can be and what this means for smart growth.

Research on this subject revealed that the successful elements of the Oakland-San Leandro project have a jurisdiction or community group which recognizes a direct benefit and champions its cause. To help ensure the …

Planning In The Wildland/Urban Interface, Mark Swanson

Master's Projects

California has historically been a state prone to natural disasters. The inhabitants of this state must contend with earthquakes, floods, droughts and wildfires on an almost daily basis. Not only do these disasters usually destroy property and resources; with costs reaching into the billions of dollars, but they are often deadly. Regardless of the constant threat of these disasters, people continue to build their homes here, seeking the many amenities that the state offers. Included in such qualities are the year round beautiful climate, the accessibility to the outdoors, natural resources and the golden opportunity to make it big in …

Stormwater Pollution Control Measures For The City Of Half Moon Bay, Michael A. Martin

Master's Projects

This planning report explores the land use and planning issues surrounding stormwater runoff and the options local jurisdictions have to address these issues. The City of Half Moon Bay is used as a case study for stormwater runoff polices and regulations. When implemented these policies reduce adverse stormwater runoff impacts, developed for Half Moon Bay are based on the specific geography geology and political culture of the City.
