Standing To Enforce The Future: Citizen Suits And Climate Change, Jordan Budd, Margaret Sova Mccabe

Law Faculty Scholarship

This Article takes as its starting point the premise that Congress, facing an existential climate catastrophe, might choose to impose direct and significant restrictions on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Were it to do so, federal policy would require powerful enforcement mechanisms to reach the myriad emission sources fueling the nation’s vast contribution to global warming.

Among the most potent and far-reaching enforcement tools available to Congress are citizen suits—actions brought by private litigants to enforce federal regulations and to hold agencies accountable for related inaction. Private enforcement in the context of climate change, however, faces a nearly insurmountable barrier—Article III …

Calculating 3d Rugosity Maps For Complex Habitat Scans, Kindrat Beregovyi, Jennifer A. Dijkstra, Thomas Butkiewicz

Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping

Advances in 3D scanning and reconstruction techniques, such as structure-from-motion, have resulted in an abundance of increasingly-detailed 3D habitat models. However, many existing methods for calculating structural complexity of these models use 2.5D techniques that fail to capture the details of truly 3D models with overlapping features. This paper presents novel algorithms that extend traditional rugosity metrics to generate multi-scale rugosity maps for complex 3D models. Models are repeatedly subdivided for local analysis using multiple 3D grids, which are jittered to smooth results and suppress extreme values from edge cases and poorly-fit reference planes. A rugosity-minimizing technique is introduced to …

Disapproval Of Mills Climbs In Maine; Majority Support Increase In Teacher Pay, Cigarette Tax 2/24/2025, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

Mainers are divided over Janet Mills' performance as governor of Maine, with half of her detractors mentioning her handling of the state's budget or finances as the reason for their disapproval. Housing remains the most important problem in the minds of Mainers, but the state budget and taxes are growing areas of concern. A plurality believe Maine spends too little on education and most support a proposed increase in teacher pay. Most also support a $1 increase in the cigarette tax and a slim majority support a proposed constitutional amendment related to noncitizen voting.

Ayotte Begins Term With Solid Approval; Housing Remains Most Important Issue In Nh 2/24/2025, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

Governor Kelly Ayotte enjoys approval from a majority of New Hampshire residents in the early days of her governorship. Housing remains the most important problem facing the state, but taxes and education have crept up as areas of concern. A plurality oppose a bill in the state legislature which would ban transporting minors to get an abortion without parental consent, though many say they have not heard much about this bill.

Vermonters Continue To Approve Of Scott, Generally Positive Towards His Education Reform Plan 2/24/2025, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

Phil Scott remains a popular governor in Vermont, with many citing his handling of taxes and education as reasons they approve of his job performance. Vermonters are generally supportive of several aspects of an educational reform proposal put forward by Scott, as four in ten believe the state currently spends too much on education. Nearly two-thirds support a legislative initiative to ban guns where alcohol is served. More than half of Vermonters cite housing, taxes, or the cost of living as the most important problem facing the state.

Reach And Utility Of The New Hampshire Child Care Scholarship Program, Harshita Sarup, Jess Carson

Carsey Publications

In this primer, authors Harshita Sarup and Jess Carson describe the New Hampshire Child Care Scholarship Program after recent policy changes. The authors find that while an estimated 55,000 children are eligible, only 7 to 8 percent are enrolled. Scholarships can represent significant savings for families, particularly with multiple children, although reimbursement rates can leave gaps for providers. The authors conclude by discussing some potential strategies for increasing the reach and efficacy of the program.

Toward Quantifying Interpolation Uncertainty In Set-Line Spacing Hydrographic Surveys, Elias Adediran, Christos Kastrisios, Kim Lowell, Glen Rice, Qi Zhang

Faculty Publications

The oceans remain one of Earth’s last great unknowns, with about 74% still unmapped to modern standards. Consequently, interpolation is employed to create seamless digital bathymetric models (DBMs) from incomplete hydrographic datasets, but this introduces unquantified depth uncertainties. This study aims to estimate and characterize uncertainties arising from set-line spacing hydrographic surveys, which are important for nautical charting, navigational safety, and many other applications. By sampling at different line spacings four complete coverage testbeds that vary in slope and roughness, the study interpolates across entire testbed areas using Spline, Inverse Distance Weighting, and Linear interpolation. The resulting interpolation uncertainties are …

Modeling Actinic Flux And Photolysis Frequencies In Dense Biomass Burning Plumes, Jan-Lukas Tirpitz, Santo Fedele Colosimo, Nathaniel Brockway, Robert Spurr, Matt Christi, Samuel Hall, Kirk Ullmann, Johnathan Hair, Taylor Shingler, Rodney Weber, Jack E. Dibb, Richard Moore, Elizabeth Wiggins, Vijay Natraj, Nicolas Theys, Jochen Stutz

Faculty Publications

Biomass burning (BB) affects air quality and climate by releasing large quantities of gaseous and particulate pollutants into the atmosphere. Photochemical processing during daylight transforms these emissions, influencing their overall environmental impact. Accurately quantifying the photochemical drivers, namely actinic flux and photolysis frequencies, is crucial to constraining this chemistry. However, the complex radiative transfer within BB plumes presents a significant challenge for both direct observations and numerical models.

This study introduces an expanded version of the 1D VLIDORT-QS radiative transfer (RT) model, named VLIDORT for photochemistry (VPC). VPC is designed for photochemical and remote sensing applications, particularly in BB plumes …

A Comparison Of Methods For Binning Responses To Open-Ended Survey Items About Everyday Events: A New Tailored-Binning Approach, Derrick M. Angier, John D. Mayer

UNH Personality Lab

Psychologists and other researchers employ diverse types of surveys and survey items. Lifespace-type items include questions about a person’s external life conditions and activities, for example, “How many hours did you spend playing video games last week?” and elicit countable responses, for example, 0 hours, < 1 hour, 1-2 hours, 3-5 hours, etc., where the response intervals are referred to as bins. We report on a procedure for creating tailored bins for participants and compare it to two other binning approaches in an original and a replication study (Ns = 263 and 246). The Tailored binning approach developed here is highly structured, but, for convenience, can also be applied in less formal fashions. In the structured form focused on here, it compares favorably with alternative approaches such as Equal Percentage and Equal Interval methods. The pros and cons of each method …
