Resilience, Adaptation, And Transformation In The Klamath River Basin Social-Ecological System, Brian C. Chaffin, Robin Kundis Craig, Hannah Gosnell
Idaho Law Review
The Klamath River Basin straddles northern California and southern Oregon and has been the locus of a century-long struggle for multivalent resilience—resilience of resident Native American tribes in the face of settlement by Europeans and others, resilience of immigrant settlers pursuing agriculture in a water-limited environment, and resilience of native ecosystems and fish species in the face of significant hydrologic fragmentation via dams and irrigation infrastructure resulting in severely reduced access to and changes in habitat. Recently, however, the communities of the Klamath Basin have worked together in an effort to transform regional environmental governance to promote greater resilience across …

A Novel Approach To Understanding Bird Communities Using Informed Diversity Estimates At Local And Regional Scales In Northern California And Southern Oregon, Jared D. Wolfe, John D. Alexander, Jamie L. Stephens, C. John Ralph
A Novel Approach To Understanding Bird Communities Using Informed Diversity Estimates At Local And Regional Scales In Northern California And Southern Oregon, Jared D. Wolfe, John D. Alexander, Jamie L. Stephens, C. John Ralph
College of Forest Resources and Environmental Science Publications
Assessment and preservation of biodiversity has been a central theme of conservation biology since the discipline's inception. However, when diversity estimates are based purely on measures of presence–absence, or even abundance, they do not directly assess in what way focal habitats support the life history needs of individual species making up biological communities. Here, we move beyond naïve measures of occurrence and introduce the concept of “informed diversity” indices which scale estimates of avian species richness and community assemblage by two critical phases of their life cycle: breeding and molt. We tested the validity of the “informed diversity” concept using …

Impacts Of Land Use Change On Soil Organic Matter Chemistry In The Everglades, Florida - A Characterization With Pyrolysis-Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry, Zhongsheng Zhang, Jian Jim Wang, Xianguo Lyu, Ming Jiang, Jehangir Bhadha, Alan Wright
Faculty Publications
Reclamation of marshlands for agricultural land use is widespread. An example of large-scale land use shifts is evident in the Everglades Agricultural Area of Florida where freshwater wetlands were converted to sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) production. Such land-use shifts can markedly influence soil organic matter cycling and processes. The effect of such land use change on molecular characteristics of soil organic carbon is unknown. In this study, three surface soils cores (0–5 cm, 5–10 cm, and 10–19 cm) from a representative marsh and a sugarcane field in the Florida Everglades with known land use history and management practices were characterized using …
Exploring The Relationship Between Agricultural Intensification And Changes In Cropland Areas In The Us, Meimei Lin, Qiping Huang
Exploring The Relationship Between Agricultural Intensification And Changes In Cropland Areas In The Us, Meimei Lin, Qiping Huang
Marketing Faculty Publications and Presentations
Rapid increase in human population, per capita food consumption (i.e., meat-intensive diet), and biofuel production further drives increasing demand for land. One critical solution is agricultural intensification of crop yield (i.e., crop production per unit area) improvement on the existing croplands. Therefore, the pressure to convert other land for food production can be reduced. Here, we used a panel data of the three most important crops (i.e., corn, soybean, and wheat) in the US Midwest to explore trends of change in agricultural yields and cropland areas at both county and crop levels during 1974-2008. We then utilized mapping to visualize …
The Case For A Mandatory Renewable Portfolio Standard In Virginia: A Case Study Examining Virginia’S Potential For A Mandatory Renewable Portfolio Standard By Comparing Virginia To Maryland And North Carolina, Rebecca Wescott
William & Mary Environmental Law and Policy Review
Since the early 1980s, states have utilized Renewable Energy Portfolio Standards (“RPSs”) as policy mechanisms to “promote broader investment in renewable energy without requiring passage of a comprehensive energy policy measure that includes a pricing mechanism for carbon.” RPS policies can be drafted in one of two ways: (1) as a mandatory RPS, a legal mandate on what percentage of a state’s power portfolio must come from specific eligible renewable energy sources by a specific date in the future, or (2) as a non-binding or voluntary RPS, a policy goal that recommends that a certain percentage of a state’s power …
Improved Isotopic Model Based On 15N Tracing And Rayleigh‐Type Isotope Fractionation For Simulating Differential Sources Of N2O Emissions In A Clay Grassland Soil, A Castellano‐Hinojosa, N Loick, E Dixon, Gp Matthews, Et Al
Improved Isotopic Model Based On 15N Tracing And Rayleigh‐Type Isotope Fractionation For Simulating Differential Sources Of N2O Emissions In A Clay Grassland Soil, A Castellano‐Hinojosa, N Loick, E Dixon, Gp Matthews, Et Al
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
Rationale Isotopic signatures of N2O can help distinguish between two sources (fertiliser N or endogenous soil N) of N2O emissions. The contribution of each source to N2O emissions after N-application is difficult to determine. Here, isotopologue signatures of emitted N2O are used in an improved isotopic model based on Rayleigh-type equations. Methods The effects of a partial (33% of surface area, treatment 1c) or total (100% of surface area, treatment 3c) dispersal of N and C on gaseous emissions from denitrification were measured in a laboratory incubation system (DENIS) allowing simultaneous measurements of NO, N2O, N2 and CO2 over a …

Reading The Landscape In Antler, North Dakota: Repeat Photography In An Atrophying Northern Plains Town, William A. Wetherholt, Gregory S. Vandeberg
Geography & Geographic Information Science Faculty Publications
This study presents repeat photography as an effective method to construct a narrative of change for a cultural landscape. The technique of repeat photography is the process of revisiting the vantage point of a historic photograph and capturing a contemporary image. This chapter focuses on the town of Antler, North Dakota, which has lost more than 85% of its population in the last 50 years (the 2016 estimated population was 25). Repeat photography with eleven historic photographs in Antler began to uncover a story of abandonment and change over the last century. It is this telling of a story through …

Socioeconomic Factors Associated With Increasing Street Tree Density And Diversity In Central Indianapolis, Ben Lockwood, Adam Berland
Socioeconomic Factors Associated With Increasing Street Tree Density And Diversity In Central Indianapolis, Ben Lockwood, Adam Berland
Cities and the Environment (CATE)
Urban trees provide an abundance of benefits to city residents. Information about the geographic distribution of urban trees is critical to ensure equitable access to these benefits. Street trees are unique among urban trees because they are often managed by municipalities as a public resource, but they are challenging to manage in part because they are spatially dispersed across a city in close proximity to private property. While street tree inventory data sets are costly to generate, they provide important information to understand the spatial distribution of trees in the city and to plan for ongoing street tree management. Here, …

Resilience And Pedagogy: Learning From International Field Studies In Urban Resilience In Canada And Germany, Meg Holden, Robin Chang, Rebecca Gunderson
Cities and the Environment (CATE)
What impact does an immersive, international field school experience have on learning about urban resilience; and conversely, what impact does a framing concept of urban resilience have on international field schools in environmental and planning studies? This article reports on qualitative analysis of learning outcomes related to a novel pair of international field schools on the theme of urban resilience. Our field schools took place with German and Canadian students seeking to understand urban resilience in two different contexts, one a context of urban decline and post-industrial transformation, the other a context of urban growth encountering new climate change-related constraints. …
Yielding To The Necessities Of A Great Public Industry: Denial And Concealment Of The Harmful Health Effects Of Coal Mining, Caitlyn Greene, Patrick Charles Mcginley
Yielding To The Necessities Of A Great Public Industry: Denial And Concealment Of The Harmful Health Effects Of Coal Mining, Caitlyn Greene, Patrick Charles Mcginley
William & Mary Environmental Law and Policy Review
In the mid-nineteenth century, coal mined in Central Appalachia began to flow into industrial markets. Those mines and the coal they produced provided jobs, put food on family tables in coalfield households, and even provided housing for hundreds of thousands of coal miners and their families. The bounty from America’s expanding coalfields fueled the Industrial Revolution and powered the nation’s steel mills, factories,steamboats, and railroads. It powered America’s defense through two World Wars and later military conflicts. Coal-fired power plants generated more than half of the electricity used in the United States in the latter quarter of the twentieth century. …
From Gis To Uavs: Emerging Opportunities For Drone Support Services In Academic Libraries, Jessica Davila Greene, Warren Roberts
From Gis To Uavs: Emerging Opportunities For Drone Support Services In Academic Libraries, Jessica Davila Greene, Warren Roberts
Library Staff Publications and Research
In 2015, The Claremont Colleges Library purchased a drone for its Emerging Technology Loan program. At the time, Federal Aviation Administration regulations were still in their infancy in regards to drone use in public and for teaching and research –lending wasn’t even a consideration. After three years of waiting for the regulations to catch up with the demand, The Claremont Colleges Library GIS Specialist was able to pilot a drone lending program that circulates both the drone and the GIS Specialist for course integration. This paper outlines the history of GIS at The Claremont Colleges Library, its evolution toward drone …
"I Think Of The Future": The Long 1850s And The Origins Of The Americanization Of The World, Joshua Taylor
"I Think Of The Future": The Long 1850s And The Origins Of The Americanization Of The World, Joshua Taylor
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
While historians often point to the rise of the United States as a major global player and technological leader on the world stage in the 1890s and early 1900s, this study argues it was the 1850s, not the 1890s, that this transition occurred. It utilizes transnational methodologies to analyze European perceptions of the United States, American international businessmen, and new ways Americans thought and talked about their place in the world. During the 1850s, European travelers to the United States began to recognize the young nation was taking the lead in technological innovation, while American businessmen like Samuel Colt began …

Urban Green Space Availability, Accessibility And Attractiveness, And The Delivery Of Ecosystem Services, Magdalena Biernacka, Jakub Kronenberg
Urban Green Space Availability, Accessibility And Attractiveness, And The Delivery Of Ecosystem Services, Magdalena Biernacka, Jakub Kronenberg
Cities and the Environment (CATE)
The main goal of this article is to analyze how different barriers which restrict urban green space (UGS) provision – notably their availability, accessibility and attractiveness – affect the delivery of ecosystem services (ESs). Our analysis involves three case studies in Lodz, Poland: the removal of trees in private properties following the liberalization of the Nature Conservation Act (availability); the replacement of allotment gardens with a city beach (accessibility); and the organization of entertainment events in the forest (attractiveness). The analyzed barriers include governmental failures, insufficient social support for the existence of certain UGSs, changes in spatial planning and activities …
An Archive Of Pain: In Queer Suicide's Cultural Wake, Evan Schares
An Archive Of Pain: In Queer Suicide's Cultural Wake, Evan Schares
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
In this dissertation, I argue that queer death is a chief site of political struggle over gender, race, and sexuality in contemporary culture. I consider myriad archives in the aftermath of three queer suicides, an aggregate of discourses I call cultural wakes, to examine how white affective investments circulate around the forces of racism, sexism, and citizenship. I place in situ the trauma of queer pain and loss against the global backdrop of public emotionality.

The Synanthropic Vegetation Of The Bidentetea Tripartiti Class, Turobjon Xusanbaevich Maxkamov
The Synanthropic Vegetation Of The Bidentetea Tripartiti Class, Turobjon Xusanbaevich Maxkamov
Bulletin of Gulistan State University
The present work is based on the phytocoenological and floristic studies. The classification of ruderal vegetation was carried out according to the Braun-Blanquet method. The syntaxonomic characterization is given in accordance with the “Code of phytosociological nomenclature”. In the flora of settlements and surroundings, the role of the families Asteraceae, Poaceae, Brassicaceae has been increased in the taxonomic spectrum. Moreover, this process is characteristic not only for the settlements of the Fergana Valley, but also for the cities of the temperate zone. In the phytocenotic spectrum as a whole, a role of open habitat species has been increased with simultaneous …

Redescription Of Anaschisma (Temnospondyli: Metoposauridae) From The Late Triassic Of Wyoming And The Phylogeny Of The Metoposauridae, Bryan M. Gee, William G. Parker, Adam D. Marsh
Redescription Of Anaschisma (Temnospondyli: Metoposauridae) From The Late Triassic Of Wyoming And The Phylogeny Of The Metoposauridae, Bryan M. Gee, William G. Parker, Adam D. Marsh
United States National Park Service: Publications
Metoposaurids are non-marine temnospondyls that are among the most common constituents of Late Triassic deposits, but despite their abundance, the evolutionary relationships of the group are poorly resolved and have not been fully addressed with modern phylogenetic methods. The genus Anaschisma is one of a number of poorly resolved metoposaurid taxa and was erected to describe two species from the Popo Agie Formation (Carnian) in Wyoming: Anaschisma browni and Anaschisma brachygnatha. Since being named, the genus has been repeatedly synonymized and separated with other taxa in the context of broader revisions of the Metoposauridae. At present, Anaschisma is considered …

The New Zealand subantarctic islands of Auckland and Campbell, situated between the subtropical front and the Antarctic Convergence in the Pacific sector of the Southern Ocean, provide valuable terrestrial records from a globally important climatic region. Whilst the islands show clear evidence of past glaciation, the timing and mechanisms behind Pleistocene environmental and climate changes remain uncertain. Here we present a multidisciplinary study of the islands-including marine and terrestrial geomorphological surveys, extensive analyses of sedimentary sequences, a comprehensive dating programme, and glacier flow line modelling-to investigate multiple phases of glaciation across the islands. We find evidence that the Auckland Islands …
