Panhe At The Crossroads: Toward An Indigenized Environmental Justice Theory, Dina Gilio-Whitaker
Panhe At The Crossroads: Toward An Indigenized Environmental Justice Theory, Dina Gilio-Whitaker
American Studies ETDs
Through a case study of the protection of a Native American sacred site from the development of a road through it in southern California, this study argues that environmental justice (EJ) for Native peoples encompasses far more than the protection of marginalized people from disproportionate rates of detrimental health effects of industry. Mainstream environmental justice discourse is troubled when it centers indigenous peoples' histories, differentiated political status, and epistemologies in EJ analytical frameworks. Viewing EJ through the lens of settler colonialism allows for an analysis that broadens the scope of what environmental justice means for indigenous peoples by examining the …

Green Economy Does Not Necessarily Mean Sustainability, Adriana Sánchez
Green Economy Does Not Necessarily Mean Sustainability, Adriana Sánchez
NotiEn: An Analytical Digest About Energy Issues in Latin America
A number of multinational corporations have adopted the concept of a "green economy," a model that allows the private sector to implement practices that save energy and reduce pollution. These corporations have not hesitated in using the terms "green" or "sustainable" in their mission statements and in marketing products ranging from shampoo to hydroelectric projects. And while there are some good-faith efforts to promote good environmental practices, critics argue that the moves are more cosmetic and that the bottom line remains profit and not sustainability.

The Valles Caldera: Recreationists' Perspectives On Access And Management, Matt Gagnon
The Valles Caldera: Recreationists' Perspectives On Access And Management, Matt Gagnon
Geography ETDs
With the public acquisition of Valles Caldera National Preserve in 2000, Congress granted management to a Board of Trustees, a unique experiment in public land management. Ten years into the experiment, the trust model has been failing to meet certain management objectives and is under pressure by outdoor recreationists to provide greater public access to this treasured piece of land in New Mexico. Pressure has become so great that the United States Senators from New Mexico have introduced legislation, the Valles Caldera National Preserve Management Act, which would transfer management to the National Park Service. To address this blossoming issue, …

Is Ecuador's Refinery Of The Pacific On Track?, Inter-American Dialogue's Latin American Energy Advisor
Is Ecuador's Refinery Of The Pacific On Track?, Inter-American Dialogue's Latin American Energy Advisor
Latin American Energy Dialogue, White Papers and Reports
In 2008, PDVSA and PetroEcuador agreed to build the "Eloy Alfaro Delgado" Refinery of the Pacific, which reportedly will be the only high-conversion plant on Latin America's Pacific coast. The facility will require an investment of $12 billion, of which Venezuela and Ecuador have so far committed $3 billion. On March 9, Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa announced that more money would be distributed to accelerate the manufacturing of construction equipment. Is preliminary work on the refinery on track to be ready by 2015? Are the right plans in place for the refinery to attract the necessary investment and who would …

Home/Land: Kiowa, New Mexico- A Grassland's Story, Heather R. Yaryan
Architecture and Planning ETDs
The purpose of this thesis was to illustrate how cultural and natural histories inform place-based community planning. Utilizing both cultural and natural histories, the planner may begin to see patterns of habitancy as they correlate to ecological fluctuations. I focused my research on Kiowa, New Mexico the community my family homesteaded in the grasslands of Northeastern New Mexico and took an auto-ethnographic approach to conducting my research. The story of Kiowa is both unique and universal. The intricacies of the land and people are, indeed, woven into a specific place and times. It is the intersection of Place and of …

Twenty-Eight Years Of The Us-Lter Program: Experience, Results, And Research Questions, James R. Gosz, Robert B. Waide, John J. Magnuson
Long Term Ecological Research Network
The U.S. Long Term Ecological Research program (hereafter US-LTER) concentrates on ecological processes that play out at the time scales spanning decades to centuries. This focuses US-LTER research between the most common time scales for ecological studies (1-3 years; Tilman 1989; Figure 1) and the much longer temporal fact of disciplines such as paleoecology. The importance of the decade-to-century time scale is particularly evident in light of the rapid changes in ecological forcing functions that are occurring at a broad range of spatial scales (Millennium Ecosystem Assessment 2005, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 2007). Long-term data sets from programs such …

Establishing A Collaborative Environment Between Transportation Agencies And Tribal Communities, Rebecca Martinez
Establishing A Collaborative Environment Between Transportation Agencies And Tribal Communities, Rebecca Martinez
Civil Engineering ETDs
Historically, transportation systems have overcome physical and geographical barriers to provide a flow of people and commodities across nations. While geographical barriers have been overcome, political and institutional barriers still exist when multiple government stakeholders are involved in the transportation planning process. Such is the case on transportation projects affecting or of concern to tribal communities. Many states across the nation have taken initiative in implementing programs to aid in the creation of a collaborative environment among transportation agencies and tribal communities. One such effort has been the establishment of intergovernmental networks within states that create a working group of …

Peru: Camisea Gas Pipeline Inaugurate After 20 Years, Notisur Writers
NotiEn: An Analytical Digest About Energy Issues in Latin America
Twenty years after the Camisea natural-gas fields in the Peruvian department of Cuzco were discovered, President Alejandro Toledo has inaugurated the pipeline that will bring the gas from the interior to Lima and the Pacific coast. The president and his ministers say the revenues generated by the sale and distribution of gas will be an economic windfall for Peru and will revolutionize energy consumption for the country's citizens. But as the Toledo government celebrates the pipeline opening as a historic moment in the economic life of Peru, environmental and indigenous groups say the project will do significant harm to the …

Chanka Settlement Ecology: Hilltop Sites, Land Use And Warfare In Late Prehispanic Andahuaylas, Peru, Lucas C. Kellett
Anthropology ETDs
This dissertation investigates Late Intermediate Period (AD 1000-1400) hilltop settlements of the central Andean highlands. Rather than a traditional warfare-centered political perspective, the research employs primarily an ecological model in which to evaluate the widespread settlement shift to high altitude ridge tops beginning ca. AD 1000. More specifically, the research investigates the multi-faceted role that climate change may have played in the establishment of LIP hilltop settlements. I examine the concomitant shifts in the local ecology and the economic organization of hilltop communities. Using a multi-scalar and methodologically diverse research design, incorporating ethnohistory, field survey, excavation and GIS, I examine …

Reconfigurable Middleware Architectures For Large Scale Sensor Networks, Sean M. Brennan
Reconfigurable Middleware Architectures For Large Scale Sensor Networks, Sean M. Brennan
Computer Science ETDs
Wireless sensor networks, in an effort to be energy efficient, typically lack the high-level abstractions of advanced programming languages. Though strong, the dichotomy between these two paradigms can be overcome. The SENSIX software framework, described in this dissertation, uniquely integrates constraint-dominated wireless sensor networks with the flexibility of object-oriented programming models, without violating the principles of either. Though these two computing paradigms are contradictory in many ways, SENSIX bridges them to yield a dynamic middleware abstraction unifying low-level resource-aware task reconfiguration and high-level object recomposition. Through the layered approach of SENSIX, the software developer creates a domain-specific sensing architecture by …
Positional Accuracy Of The Wide Area Augmentation System, Lisa L. Arnold
Positional Accuracy Of The Wide Area Augmentation System, Lisa L. Arnold
Geography ETDs
Global Positioning Systems devices are increasingly being used for data collection in many fields. Consumer-grade GPS units without differential correction have a published horizontal accuracy of approximately 10 to 15 meters (average error). An attractive option for differential correction for these GPS units is the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS). Most consumer-grade GPS units on the market are WAAS capable. According to the FAA, the WAAS broadcast message provides integrity information about the GPS signal as well as accuracy improvements which are reported to improve accuracy to 3 to 5 meters. However, limited empirical evidence has been published on the …

The Convention On International Trade In Endangered Species: Issues With Implementation And Compliance In Nepal, Joel Heinen
The Convention On International Trade In Endangered Species: Issues With Implementation And Compliance In Nepal, Joel Heinen
Himalayan Policy Research Conference
The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) has proven particularly difficult to implement due to the complex legal requirements that it places on parties. As with many other nations, Nepal has lacked national implementing legislation which has greatly hindered compliance and effectiveness of CITES in the country and, indirectly, in the region. Here we explore several case studies of actual and potential CITES violations in Nepal that have come to light in the past decade, especially as a result of the Maoist insurgency. We also review draft legislation (not yet passed) that is …

Water Resources Assessment In The Greater Rio Casas Grandes Watershed, Bruce Thomson, Abdul-Mehdi Ali
Water Resources Field Methods Reports
The Rio Casas Grandes watershed is located in northern Chihuahua, Mexico, on the eastern flank of the Sierra Madres. Like all arid desert regions, this watershed faces problems related to a lack of fresh water. Increasing populations, agriculture, and industry create a challenge to water managers and users in the watershed. Water shortages from drought combined with increased use have caused decreases in water tables as well as increases in the number of fallow fields in the lower reaches of the watershed. Poor land management practices combined with water shortages have the potential to threaten the livelihood of communities within …
