Feasibility Of Public-Private Partnerships For Swamp Rabbit Conservation., Lyann Rubert, Eric M. Schauber, Clayton K. Nielsen, Paul D. Scharine Jan 2011

Feasibility Of Public-Private Partnerships For Swamp Rabbit Conservation., Lyann Rubert, Eric M. Schauber, Clayton K. Nielsen, Paul D. Scharine

Publications

The distribution and abundance of swamp rabbits in southern Illinois have decreased due to loss and fragmentation of bottomland hardwood forests. Remaining populations are likely isolated because of limited dispersal across open areas. Private citizens own 69% of highly suitable swamp rabbit habitat in southern Illinois, so public-private partnership is key to any conservation efforts. Owners of highly suitable habitat were sent mail surveys to determine current and acceptable forms of land management, participation in government incentive programs, and interest in swamp rabbit conservation. The response rate was 41%, and 69% of surveyed landowners indicated interest in learning about or …

A/R/Tographic Collaboration As Radical Relatedness, Barbara Bickel, Stephanie Springgay, Ruth Beer, Rita L. Irwin, Kit Grauer, Gu Xiong Jan 2011

A/R/Tographic Collaboration As Radical Relatedness, Barbara Bickel, Stephanie Springgay, Ruth Beer, Rita L. Irwin, Kit Grauer, Gu Xiong

Publications

In this paper the authors examine a/r/tographical collaboration in a communityengaged research study investigating immigrant understandings of home and place. The study, The City of Richgate, involves a complex collaboration between community members, community organizations, educational institutions, and a research team comprising artist-educators. The study crosses border zones of cultural, ethnic, geographic, institutional, public, private, and disciplinary boundaries, reflecting the ever-changing character of postmodern reality. In this paper the authors reflect critically and theoretically on the lived experience of radical relatedness found within the complex collaboration, particularly within the a/r/tographic research team. This offers a qualitative methodology of radical …


Policy Coordination In An Ecology Of Water Management Games, Mark N. Lubell, Garry Robins, Peng Wang Jan 2011

Policy Coordination In An Ecology Of Water Management Games, Mark N. Lubell, Garry Robins, Peng Wang

2011

Policy outcomes in all but the simplest policy systems emerge from a complex of ecology of games featuring multiple actors, policy institutions, and issues, and not just single policies operating in isolation.  This paper updates Long's (1958) ecology of games framework with Scharpf's (1997) actor-centered institutionalism to analyze the coordinating roles of actors and institutions on the context of the ecology of water management games in the San Francisco Bay.  Actors participating in multiple institutions are analyzed using exponential random graph models for bipartite networks representing different assumptions about policy behavior, including geographic constraints.  We find that policy coordination is …

Environmental Quality And Migration, Xu Xu Jan 2011

Environmental Quality And Migration, Xu Xu

Research Papers

The main object of this paper is to present a cross-country analysis of the relationship between environmental quality and migration. To achieve this goal we examine how pollution interacts with income to influence different types of migration. The statistical results show that for very poor countries, pollution is negatively related to migration. Skilled workers, especially females, are more likely to emigrate due to the pollution in source countries. However, higher income acts as compensation and makes people more tolerant of pollution.


A History And Definition Of Green Roof Technology With Recommendations For Future Research, John D. Magill, Karen Midden, John Groninger, Matthew Therrell Jan 2011

A History And Definition Of Green Roof Technology With Recommendations For Future Research, John D. Magill, Karen Midden, John Groninger, Matthew Therrell

Research Papers

Green roof technology has a history that predates the modern era. Many functions of green roofs utilized during human history are analogous to contemporary functions. The justification of the use of green roof technology based on a review of literature shows the multiple and documented benefits that these systems can impart to the urban environment. A case study of the installation of the Southern Illinois University Carbondale green roof, showed the actual process of constructing the system. The maintenance and observation of this system gives firsthand experience. Interviews with green roof professionals allow greater understanding of current research needs. Finally, …

Application Of The Analytic Hierarchy Process For Selecting And Modeling Stormwater Best Management Practices, Kevin D. Young, Tamim Younos, Randel L. Dymond, David F. Kibler, David H. Lee Dec 2010

Application Of The Analytic Hierarchy Process For Selecting And Modeling Stormwater Best Management Practices, Kevin D. Young, Tamim Younos, Randel L. Dymond, David F. Kibler, David H. Lee

Journal of Contemporary Water Research and Education

Engineers are increasingly expected to consider several influential criteria when selecting a single best management practice (BMP) for stormwater management. These criteria include site physical characteristics; local, state, and federal pollution control ordinances; stakeholder input, and BMP implementation and long-term maintenance costs. This paper discusses the development of a software-aided approach based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) as a decision-making tool for selecting stormwater management BMPs. Supported with input from a geographic information system, the AHP can provide an objective, mathematically-based alternative to the existing, often subjective BMP selection approaches. In this study, the developed AHP decision support software …


Stormwater Management For A Record Rainstorm At Chicago, Stanley A. Changnon Dec 2010

Stormwater Management For A Record Rainstorm At Chicago, Stanley A. Changnon

Journal of Contemporary Water Research and Education

A record setting 24-hour rainstorm hit Chicago in September 2008. It created an opportunity to assess its impacts and to compare the storm water management with that used in other recent rainstorms. Flooding impacted all forms of transportation and thousands of homes and businesses, 10,000 homes had to be evacuated. One lesson learned is that this storm's magnitude was enhanced by urban and lake influences on the atmosphere that extended over the large suburban areas west of the city. This helped intensify the rainfall over a large area. A second lesson learned is when 6-hour and 24-hour rainfall amounts exceed …
