Environmental History Of New England: William Cronon’S Changes In The Land, Tyler Veak

Faculty Publications and Presentations

William Cronon’s Changes in the Land presaged a radical turn in environmental thought. His seminal work dramatically reconstructed our view of pre-colonial New England. He dismissed entirely the received history that portrayed pre-colonial America as an uninhabited pristine wilderness. In the process he gave Native Americans agency, and forever blurred the line between humans and nature. Since Changes it has become impossible to realistically think about humans as distinct from the “environment.”

Missed Opportunities: California Energy Fears, New York Energy Policy And The New York Power Authority's New York City Turbine Projects, John L. Parker, James Malatras

Pace Environmental Law Review

In this article, the authors argue that the actions taken by several state agencies have demonstrated the need for improved energy policy. This article illustrates that Article X of the Public Service Law, as well as the current State energy system of production and distribution, is seriously flawed and that deregulation has not been good for the consumer or the environment. This article shows that this system has brought New York to its current situation-the building of numerous plants without a comprehensive or rational energy plan, and a push for distributed generators, increasing pollution of the State's air, water, and …

Earning Deference: Reflections On The Merger Of Environmental And Land-Use Law , Michael Allan Wolf

Pace Environmental Law Review

Professor Wolf suggests that there is a brooding omnipresence over local government efforts to protect the environment; that omnipresence is the idea of regulatory takings. Professor Wolf emphasizes that local governments need to earn deference. Since the decision in Village of Euclid v. Ambler Realty Co., local governments have been acting in a "Euclidean zone of comfort" when implementing traditional land-use regulations. However, he suggests that local governments may be acting outsides of that zone when they enact environmental regulations and that there is a rich history of negative decisions concerning local environmental regulations. Professor Wolf then offers three strategies …

Amis: Least Cost Path Analysis For Transportation Planning, Joel Brumm, Ted H. Grossardt, Keiron Bailey

Kentucky Transportation Center Faculty and Researcher Publications

The State requested a GIS-based route planning tool. More than 50 raster data layers were assembled within ArcView 3.2, encompassing a full spectrum of demographic, physical, and cultural features. These data layers were given a numerical rating using multicriteria decision making software and input from professionals from a variety of fields. The multicriteria decision making software then set the relative importance of these surface features as impediments or attractors, creating a travel-cost surface. This synthesis of technologies, combined in a tool termed AMIS (Analytic Minimum Impedance Surface), found the least-cost path to any point within the study area.

Searching For A Sense Of Control: The Challenge Presented By Community Conflicts Over Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations, Nancy A. Welsh, Barbara Gray

Faculty Scholarship

The growth in the number of concentrated animal feeding operations ("CAFOs"), particularly those involved in swine production, has brought with it increased community concern and outright conflict in many communities across the United States.' Most commentators have focused upon anticipated outcomes to explain the contentiousness of CAFO-related disputes.2 Meanwhile, even though the social dynamics that contribute to the development and escalation of conflicts over CAFOs parallel those exhibited in other kinds of community conflicts, little research has systematically examined the social dynamics associated with CAFO conflicts. One exception to this deficiency is recent work conducted by a team of researchers …

UNM Annual Reports

VITAL ACADEMIC CLIMATE* by Brian Foster, Provost/Vice President of Academic Affairs A great university engages students and faculty fully in important ideas and issues ... not just to learn about them, but to take them apart and put them back together, to debate, deconstruct, resist, reconstruct and build upon them. Engagement of this sort takes concentration and commitment, and it produces the kind of discipline and passion that leads to student and faculty success and satisfaction in their studies, research, performance, artistic activity and service. It is also the kind of activity that creates a solid, nurturing spirit of community. …
