Cancún Summit On Global Climate Change A Success Or Failure, Depending On Whom You Ask, Carlos Navarro Jan 2011

Cancún Summit On Global Climate Change A Success Or Failure, Depending On Whom You Ask, Carlos Navarro

NotiEn: An Analytical Digest About Energy Issues in Latin America

Depending on whom you ask, the UN conference on climate change in Cancún, Mexico, on Nov. 29-Dec. 11, 2010, was a total failure or a step in the right direction to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, generally thought to be responsible for the warming of the Earth's atmosphere. The Cancún gathering was also known as COP16—-an abbreviation for the sixteenth edition of the Conference of the Parties of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Those who viewed the results of COP16 with the "glass-is-half-full" premise included the host of the gathering, Mexican President Felipe Calderón, who said the agreements reached …

Energy Security And Efficiency Enhancement Project - Environmental Management Framework, Ministry Of Energy And Mining

Latin American Energy Dialogue, White Papers and Reports

This project is designed to provide a comprehensive support to the implementation of the Government of Jamaica s energy policy and strategy covering the 2010-2030 period. The goals are to build capacity, to provide international best practices to the government and support its energy cost reduction and diversification efforts through investments in liquefied natural gas, energy efficiency measures, renewable energy investments, and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the energy sector. This document presents the Environmental Management Framework (EMF) for the Project.

Effects Of Herbivores On Seed Banks Of Grass And Shrublands At The Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, New Mexico (2004), Terri Koontz Jan 2011

Effects Of Herbivores On Seed Banks Of Grass And Shrublands At The Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, New Mexico (2004), Terri Koontz

Sevilleta LTER Program Data

Grazers and granivores have the potential to affect seed banks. Several studies have examined the impact of these herbivores on the aboveground vegetation, but few have looked at how they influence the seed bank. I asked whether both grazers and granivores alter the seed bank at the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge. Long-term experimental plots were installed in 1996 to exclude grazers and granivores from a grassland and shrubland. Soil samples were collected from these plots and seeds were germinated in a greenhouse. The grassland had significantly more species in its seed bank than the shrubland. Also, the seed bank composition …


Effects Of Kangaroo Rat Mounds On Seed Banks Of Grass And Shrublands At The Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, New Mexico (2001), Terri Koontz, Heather Simpson Jan 2011

Effects Of Kangaroo Rat Mounds On Seed Banks Of Grass And Shrublands At The Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, New Mexico (2001), Terri Koontz, Heather Simpson

Sevilleta LTER Program Data

Disturbance is a major factor in determining the spatial structure and temporal dynamics of ecological systems. Many studies have been conducted concerning the plant assemblages around Dipodmys spectabilis mounds compared to the off mound area. These studies have shown that annual plant cover is higher on the kangaroo rat mound compared to off the mound. However, no studies have addressed the effects of these rodents disturbance on the soil seed bank. Soil seed banks are an important component of the plant community particularly in arid environments. Annual plants have been known to create viable seeds that remain dormant in the …

New Adventures Of The Old Bureau: Modern-Day Reclamation Statutes And Congress Unfinished Environmental Business, Reed D. Benson Jan 2011

New Adventures Of The Old Bureau: Modern-Day Reclamation Statutes And Congress Unfinished Environmental Business, Reed D. Benson

Faculty Scholarship

Congress established the reclamation program in 1902, and the hundreds of federal water projects built in the 20th century helped shape the West. Today, the Bureau of Reclamation plays an enormously important role in managing these projects. But with no big new dams to build, the Bureau has been forced to revise its mission to address todays water management challenges, such as stretching finite water supplies and restoring aquatic ecosystems. Through both site-specific enactments and programmatic statutes, Congress in recent years has given the Bureau new authority and direction to address these modern challenges. But Congress has left a significant …


Larrea Seedling Monitoring Study At The Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, New Mexico (1999- ), Douglas I. Moore Jan 2011

Larrea Seedling Monitoring Study At The Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, New Mexico (1999- ), Douglas I. Moore

Sevilleta LTER Program Data

The germination rate of creosote (Larrea tridentata) on the Sevilleta appears to be very low. During the early years of the LTER project it was attempted to quantify such germination through the use of seedling plots which were monitored on a bi-annual basis (spring and fall). During the period from 1989 through 1992 there were no creosote seedling that germinated on the monitoring plots. In 1999 a rather sizeable population of small seedlings was observed in one quite localized area in the vicinity of Five Points. This rather large number of individuals in one very limited area raised several questions:1. …


Pinon-Juniper Dendrometer, Height, And Crown Area Measurements At Cerro Montosa, Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, New Mexico (2006-2009), Esteban Muldavin Jan 2011

Pinon-Juniper Dendrometer, Height, And Crown Area Measurements At Cerro Montosa, Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, New Mexico (2006-2009), Esteban Muldavin

Sevilleta LTER Program Data

Allometry is a standard method of determining biomass and Net Primary Production of many trees. One of the standard variables used in such allometric regressions is bole diameter. On straight trunk trees measurements at breast height (DBH) taken using a DBH tape is adequate for quantifying changes in diameter over time. However, in scrub forests such as the Pinon Juniper PJ woodlands, common on the Sevilleta, both the pinon and particularly the junipers are relatively short and multi-trunked so that measurements must be taken near the ground and the consistency between measurements often lead to erroneous growth analysis. To reduce …

Sustainable Development In The Cultural Context: A Review Of Sources And Analysis Of Gaps, Joann Jacoby, Liz Cooper Jan 2011

Sustainable Development In The Cultural Context: A Review Of Sources And Analysis Of Gaps, Joann Jacoby, Liz Cooper

University Libraries & Learning Sciences Faculty and Staff Publications

In order to be effective, sustainable development efforts must be grounded in a fundamental understanding of the local context. Two librarians with backgrounds in anthropology will address the issue of culturally-grounded sustainable development resources available online and in digital repositories. The presenters will review the literature on the importance of the cultural context in sustainable development, identify strengths of current culturally-grounded online collections, and review gaps in order to identify areas where libraries should focus further efforts to develop these types of collections.

Why I Can't Love The Homemade Semantic Web, Jason Bengtson Jan 2011

Why I Can't Love The Homemade Semantic Web, Jason Bengtson

Publications

Almost all information professionals agree that the web needs to move to a semantic structure. While work is proceeding in this area, movements to get individual web authors to use semantic markup tools have also been on the rise. This author argues that such efforts are ill conceived and he proposes an automated alternative.
