In October 2019, the Advanced Structures & Composites Center (ASCC) at the University of Maine (UMaine) was awarded one of ten University Mass Timber Grants, meant to support demonstration projects showcasing mass timber technologies on university campuses. Two of the ten awards were given to Maine colleges and universities, the one described herein focused on a CLT addition to the ASCC to (1) demonstrate to regional stakeholders the viability of CLT as a structural building material, (2) demonstrate cost-effective use of CLT in large, warehouse-style buildings, (3) show Maine’s support for mass timber technologies to further encourage investment in CLT …

This document is the result of a study of the terrestrial mammals found at Cedar Breaks National Monument from 2017-2019. During this time, we conducted a survey of mammals using a series of trail cameras. We used survey results to provide an index of terrestrial mammals (excluding bats) within the park. Our goal is to provide a beginner’s guide to the mammals at Cedar Breaks National Monument. We include information regarding appearance, diet, habitat, and population status according to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The guide represents the species a visitor to Cedar Breaks National Monument …
What Is An Endangered Species?: Judgments About Acceptable Risk, Thomas Offer-Westort, Adam Feltz, Jeremy T. Bruskotter, John A. Vucetich
What Is An Endangered Species?: Judgments About Acceptable Risk, Thomas Offer-Westort, Adam Feltz, Jeremy T. Bruskotter, John A. Vucetich

Judgments about acceptable risk in the context of policy may be influenced by law makers, policy makers, experts and the general public. While significant effort has been made to understand public attitudes on acceptable risk of environmental pollution, little is known about such attitudes in the context of species' endangerment. We present survey results on these attitudes in the context of United States' legal-political apparatus intended to mitigate species endangerment. The results suggest that the general public exhibit lower tolerance for risk than policy makers and experts. Results also suggest that attitudes about acceptable risk for species endangerment are importantly …

Being one of the oldest in the country, the paper industry has seen its fair share of change. There’s a common perception that because some paper mills have had to close down, the industry as a whole is disappearing. This isn’t true! While it seems to be the most common misconception, it’s not the only one out there.

For 49 years, the Consider Engineering program has been offered by the UMaine Pulp and Paper Foundation. Despite the unusual circumstances of this year, we were determined to make it available to as many students as possible. Unable to bring students to campus in July, we hosted two separate one-day sessions of Consider Engineering on the UMaine campus this fall. The nearly 70 high school students who participated have just begun their senior year of high school.

Did you catch our first Day in the Life series on our Facebook and Instagram stories? Jordon Gregory, class of 2022, took over our social media stories for one day to show everyone what a typical day as a chemical engineering student looks like for her.
Jordon mentioned some of our favorite things about campus: the beautiful Mall, the center of campus, and that we’re only a short two-hour car ride to one of the most visited national parks in the country—Acadia National Park.
Being a UMaine engineering student and pulp and paper scholarship recipient is challenging, for sure. But …

This past year has been a challenging time for the CFRU as we learned to cope and work during a global pandemic. More isolation became the norm and video conferences replaced the in-person meetings we are accustomed to. Despite these challenges, the CFRU remained active thanks to the dedication of our Interim Program Leader, Aaron Weiskittel, and his support staff, Leslee Canty-Noyes and Meg Fergusson. Their efforts to adapt to changing circumstances ensured that research advanced, meetings successfully carried on, spruce budworm L2 sampling was conducted, MASN sites were established, and the daily administrative functions of the CFRU continued.
