Analysis Of “Oldest House In The U.S.” Photo And A Poor Retouching Job, Samuel Sisneros

University Libraries & Learning Sciences Faculty and Staff Publications

This working paper analyzes a historical photo housed at the UNM’s Center for Southwest Research and Special collections. It looks specifically at a discovery made by the author that the photo was at one time heavily retouched and how this retouching can correspond to current AI image manipulation.

The Colorado River Upper Initial Units Take Center Stage, Eric Kuhn, Anne Castle, Jack Schmidt, Kathryn Sorensen, Katherine Tara

The Traveling Wilburys of the Colorado River

In 1956, Congress authorized the Upper Initial Units—Flaming Gorge Reservoir,

Navajo Reservoir, and the Aspinall Unit (UIUs)—for a variety of water use

purposes in the Upper Colorado River Basin, including compliance with the

1922 Colorado River Compact (1922 Compact). The historical record is clear

that the primary reason these reservoirs exist is to satisfy the math of the 1922

Compact and the obligations it imposed on the Upper Division States

regarding flows at Lee Ferry.

Mora Valley Of The Mills 2026: A Documentary Report History Of The Milling Industry And Cultural Heritage Preservation, Jose A. Rivera

Faculty Publications

The flour mills along the upper Mora River constitute the largest number of still standing commercial mills in the State of New Mexico, namely the Cleveland Roller Mill, the St. Vrain Mill, the Gordon-Sánchez Mill, and the La Cueva Mill at the Houser Raspberry Ranch. Notably, all four mills are listed in the National Register of Historic Places. During their heyday, 1964-1920, Mora County was seen as the “breadbasket of New Mexico” due to its bountiful supply of cereal and cool climate vegetables. Local acequia farmers supplied the mills with the input of wheat, corn and other grains that led …

Cyprinid And Leuciscid Fish Larvae And Early Juveniles Of The Middle And Lower Pecos River And The Big Bend Reach Of The Rio Grande  - Morphological Descriptions, Comparisons, Illustrations, And Computer-Interactive Key, W. Howard Brandenburg, Darrel E. Snyder, Steven P. Platania, Kevin R. Bestgen

Special Publications

Early life history studies of fishes can be valuable components of monitoring programs for threatened and endangered species. Those studies can be used to characterize spawning periodicity, spawning locations, larval abundance, year-class strength, nursery habitat, and recruitment of larvae to early juvenile and adult populations. Larval fish surveys also increase the probability of documenting rare species due to the large number of larvae produced per pair of spawning adults. Such studies require accurate descriptions and keys for identification of larval fishes in the waters being surveyed.

Leuciscids face many challenges to survival in contemporary riverine systems. River fragmentation, water diversion …

From Disaster To Resilience: Developing Smart Settlements In The Himalayas, Keshav Bhattarai, Ambika P. Adhikari

Himalayan Research Papers Archive

Nepal’s catastrophic 26 August 2026 Bhote Koshi–Trishuli flood should be understood not only as a humanitarian tragedy but also as a potentially major turning point in updating national settlement and reconstruction policy. Engineers and scientists have described the floods as a glacier–bedrock collapse that triggered an ice-rock avalanche and debris flow. As per the live updates on September 7, 2026, the total death toll was 1,355, and 4,996 people were missing (The Hindu, 2026). Indian and Nepali rescuers worked urgently to locate and rescue people buried under hydropower tunnels, buildings, mud, and landslide debris.

From Himalayan Catastrophe To National Resilience: Lessons From The 2026 Bhote Koshi And Trishuli River Floods In Nepal, Keshav Bhattarai, Ambika P. Adhikari

Himalayan Research Papers Archive

On the morning of 26 August 2026, the mountains above Nepal’s northern frontier delivered a disaster of almost unimaginable speed and scale. A massive mass of ice, rock, and sediment detached in the high Himalayan terrain near the Nepal–Tibet border, descended roughly 1,200 metres, interacted with the Lhende Khola system, and generated a debris-rich flood that surged through the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli river corridors, destroying settlements, markets, roads, bridges, hydropower facilities, and an international border crossing and transforming them into fields of mud, boulders, and wreckage within minutes (ICIMOD, 2026b; Reuters, 2026a). Satellite analysis indicates that a substantial section …

Beyond National Accuracy: A Neutrosophic Geographic Evidence Audit Of Preschool-Attendance Prediction In Ecuador (Ensanut 2018), Cindy Patricia Campoverde Vera

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

Predictive models built on national surveys are usually summarized by one aggregate performance figure, yet a national metric may conceal large differences in how the model behaves across territories. We examined this problem with the 2018 Ecuadorian National Health and Nutrition Survey (ENSANUT 2018). A conventional Random Forest trained on five child and household variables reached a national accuracy of 64.83% against a majority-class baseline of 54.40%. This aggregate concealed substantial geographic heterogeneity: provincial accuracy ranged from 56.1% (Bolivar) to 78.0% (Canar). To represent this evidence without collapsing it into one number we formalize a Neutrosophic Geographic Evidence Audit (NGEA), …
