The Value Of Silence In Finland: A Geographic And Cultural Perspective, Meghan E. Kuhns Apr 2018

The Value Of Silence In Finland: A Geographic And Cultural Perspective, Meghan E. Kuhns

University of Montana Conference on Undergraduate Research (UMCUR)

Silence-based tourism, an emerging tourism sector in Finland, is relatively understudied. This research is focused around three specific areas: 1) the geographical and historical context of silence farms (developed and potential), 2) the value of silence to the Finnish culture and economy, and 3) the role and motivations’ of Finnish farmers as they expand into this area of silence tourism, to cultivate and preserve silence spaces, and their perceptions regarding the effects that silence farms and silence experiences have on tourists. In this context, silence is referred to as natural sounds such as the chirping of birds, the rustling of …

Chasing Plenty: A Documentary On Food Security In Montana, Kurt Swimley, Colin Brust, Aspen Anderson, John Potenberg, Nathaniel Smith

University of Montana Conference on Undergraduate Research (UMCUR)

Chasing Plenty: A Documentary on Food Security in Montana Our GLI group aims to examine the following question: how will climate change impact food security? To address this question we are conducting interviews in Montana. Despite being an agricultural state, many Montanans struggle with food insecurity, and are left without plentiful or healthy options for food. We aim to research this issue by interviewing local community members involved in food distribution. The interview data will be compiled in a short documentary discussing current issues in food security, how these problems are likely to evolve in the future, and propose solutions …

Water And Us: Education As The First Line Of Defense, Cassandra Sevigny, Kyra Searcy, Sarah Maxwell, Kevin Mason, Miranda Henrich, Isabella Diaz

University of Montana Conference on Undergraduate Research (UMCUR)

Access to clean water is a problem the world will continue to face in the future. Droughts, climate change, and contamination are just a few examples of water-related issues humans deal with daily. By addressing these problems through education, we targeted future adults by fostering positive environmental attitudes. To celebrate World Water Day on March 22nd, we held a Water Field Day for sixth graders in Lolo, Montana to supplement their science curriculum. Through hands-on activities, our target population was immersed in water issues related to water contamination and conservation. Our Water Field Day comprised multiple stations with activities including …


“A Montana Ski Town And Solutions To Its Persistent Housing Crisis”, Donald Mcbath Apr 2018

“A Montana Ski Town And Solutions To Its Persistent Housing Crisis”, Donald Mcbath

University of Montana Conference on Undergraduate Research (UMCUR)

Ski towns across the Rocky Mountain West are facing the inter-connected problems of rising housing prices and shortages of labor. These local issues have led to severe challenges associated with the lack of affordable housing. My study focuses on three key elements that contribute to the problem of affordable housing in the booming ski town of Whitefish, Montana. These elements include: (1) the geographical and historical context that makes this community similar to other ski towns in this region; (2) the economic and land use planning factors that constrain the affordable housing market; and (3) the limited sustainable solutions to …


Mapping Mount Saint Helens: Capturing The Volcano's Geomorphologic Change Over Time, Jennifer Haas Apr 2018

Mapping Mount Saint Helens: Capturing The Volcano's Geomorphologic Change Over Time, Jennifer Haas

University of Montana Conference on Undergraduate Research (UMCUR)

On the morning of May 18, 1980, in the state of Washington, Mount Saint Helens violently erupted, causing the reshaping of the volcano and the largest historical landslide on Earth. This volcanic episode caused significant modifications to the surrounding landscape, including the loss of 70% of the volcano’s glacier mass and 1,314 feet of elevation. Capturing this dynamic environment cartographically has been a challenge. This paper reports on a study aimed at investigating a particular type of cartography called geomorphological mapping, which represents landscapes and their processes of change over time. The study also applies this type of mapping to …

Of Ruptures And Raptures: Locating Ideology With Lidar Imagery, William D. Schroeder Ms, Rpa Apr 2018

Of Ruptures And Raptures: Locating Ideology With Lidar Imagery, William D. Schroeder Ms, Rpa

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

Archaeological praxis necessarily requires at least one object (an artifact; a piece of technology or something that functions as an object) to articulate and explain ideologies from the past. The problem is that the object of ideological desire is abstract and difficult to locate in the archaeological record in reified form. Historical Archaeologist Mark P. Leone attempted to locate such an object several times while conducting archaeological investigations into historical Mormonism, Mormon historical ecology, and technologies employed by Mormons in the arid American West. It is posited here that the object of Mormon ideological desire in the archaeological record within …
