Integrated Natural Resource Planning, Dorthy H. Anderson, Dietmar W. Rose, Ken Brooks, Tom Burk, Howard Hoganson, Klaus Puettman

Natural Resources and Environmental Issues

Deciding upon management strategies and use of natural resources becomes more challenging as urban areas expand and human population and consumption levels continue to increase. Given that a larger urban population, interestingly, seems to demand both more resources (products) and greater environmental protection, there will no doubt be a coincident heightening of conflicts over natural resource management in the next century. Making decisions on natural resource allocation and use under such circumstances will become even more complex and difficult than they are today. Skilled people will be needed who can develop an integrated approach to natural resource management that sheds …

Principles Of Wildlife Conservation-Testing Distance Delivery Methodologies, W. Daniel Edge, John Loegering, Penelope Diebel

Natural Resources and Environmental Issues

In conjunction with faculty at Oregon State University, we developed a distance education course in two phases. During Phase I, conducted Spring of 1996, we used Oregon ED-NET (a simulcast satellite education system) to reach 143 students at 14 sites in Oregon. In the second phase, we offered the course nation-wide in a video format Spring term 1997 and enrolled 92 students at 13 sites. We will offer the video course again during Winter term 1998 following an expanded marketing plan. Our objectives in this paper are to present (1) course design and production information; (2) our experiences with satellite …

Interdisciplinary Natural Resource And Environmental Policy Program At Utah State University, Joanna Endter-Wada, Richard S. Krannich

Natural Resources and Environmental Issues

The Natural Resource and Environmental Policy Program at Utah State University (USU) is an interdisciplinary, graduate, educational program that has been developed since the fall of 1991. The program administers and awards a graduate certificate, sponsors invited speakers, oversees student policy presentations, and facilitates interdisciplinary collaboration. The program has earned broad, campus-wide support and participation. All eight colleges at USU supported approval of the certificate program in 1994. At present, sixteen academic units are represented on its Faculty Advisory Committee, which oversees and makes decisions about the program. Fifty graduate students from fourteen academic units have pursued the Interdisciplinary Certificate …

Linking Senior Forestry Courses, Larry A. Leefers, Jeremy S. Fried

Natural Resources and Environmental Issues

Learning has been described as a cumulative process that allows students to build knowledge and skills as they progress through their undergraduate programs. Courses offered at the senior level usually have prerequisites, or require concurrent enrollment in other courses. In the Department of Forestry at Michigan State University, we have recently started offering two senior-level courses concurrently (rather than sequentially): Forest Management and Natural Resources Planning and Policy. In an effort to better integrate our curriculum, we are building linkages between these courses based on content (to reduce redundancy), quantitative analysis, and data sets. Forest Management is taken mostly by …

Education's Role In Sustainable Development: Uganda's Kibale National Park, R. J. Lilieholm, K. B. Paul, T. L. Sharik, R. Loether

Natural Resources and Environmental Issues

Kibale National Park (KNP), located in western Uganda, offers a rich diversity of tropical flora and fauna. The Park’s mid-altitude, moist tropical forest supports 11 of Uganda’s 20 non-human primate species, some of which occur in very high densities. The region around KNP is home to seven national parks and numerous protected areas. Located within KNP is the Makerere University Biological Field Station (MUBFS), with an extensive 25-year research history and a mandate to assist KNP in protecting the ecosystems of the region through management-relevant research. While KNP and MUBFS have received much visibility within Uganda, East Africa and the …

Ethics Primer For University Students Intending To Become Natural Resources Managers And Administrators, Richard J. Mcneil

Natural Resources and Environmental Issues

Natural resources managers and administrators frequently face problems which have ethical dimensions. This paper is intended to help students learn how to become more comfortable and sophisticated with ethical aspects of their management studies, to learn to include ethical tool more in their decision making, and consequently to become better prepared to manage resources later placed in their care. Many of us realize that ethical questions are fundamental to our work. Most of us feel that we have an adequate understanding of and ability to distinguish between "right" and "wrong" behaviors. But we are unable to discuss ethical ideas fluently …

Utah State University's Academic Program In Wildlife Damage Management, Michael R. Conover, Jack Berryman

Natural Resources and Environmental Issues

Wildlife damage management is the buffer between wild animals and people. This field attempts to enhance human-wildlife relations by resolving conflicts between humans and wildlife and increasing the positive values of wildlife. In 1990, Utah State University realized that its students’ education in this area was lacking and created an academic program in wildlife damage management with the support of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Animal Plant Health Inspection Service, Wildlife Services. Two years later, USU’s program expanded and became the Jack H. Berryman Institute for Wildlife Damage Management which is part of the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife and …

Interstate Educational Programs: Are We Ready?, Weldon S. Sleight

Natural Resources and Environmental Issues

During the past 15 years, Utah State University and other institutions have vigorously investigated the possibility of sharing educational resources across state lines. This concept, while very important to higher education's future, has not been fully realized. The most obvious barriers have been lack of financial resources and working models. This paper outlines models and procedures that could benefit institutions in the development of cooperative degrees.

The Occurrence Of Pcbs And Chlorinated Pesticide Contaminants In Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops Truncatus) In A Resident Community: Comparison With Age, Gender And Birth Order, Kathleen M. Kuss

HCNSO Student Theses and Dissertations

Tissue samples from twenty bottlenose dolphins from a stable, residential community of coastal dolphins in the western Gulf of Mexico were analyzed for toxic PCB congeners and chlorinated pesticides. The tissues analyzed (blubber and melon) were from known individuals in a long-term (27⁺ y) study that stranded and were recovered for necropsy. Substantial demographic data were available on these individuals and utilized in the analysis of maternal transfer of organochlorines to young.

The male dolphins in this study were shown to accumulate organochlorine contaminants with age. In female dolphins the organochlorine levels were found to decline with age. These …
