The Social Construction of the Metallic Mining Industry: The Divergent Cases of the Mining Moratorium Bill (Wisconsin) and the Permit Streamlining Bill (Minnesota)

Creator:: Harewood, Alessandra G and Harewood, Alessandra G.
Abstract:: Hardrock mining is associated with severe environmental and economic costs. Of particular concern is acid mine drainage which has contaminated several thousand kilometers of streams across the United States representing a formidable danger to watershed health. Given the high risks of this activity, ensuring high regulatory standards may be an...

Perceptions of Variable Energy Integration Innovations in the Pacific Northwest Power Sector – An Application of the Diffusion of Innovation Framework

Creator:: Eckstein, Jeremy
Abstract:: Wind and solar energy levels are expected to increase in the Pacific Northwest as a result of maturing renewable energy technologies, and state and federal policies. Because wind and solar energy is intermittent, only producing electricity when weather conditions permit, the integration of these resources has posed challenges to operators...

A Comparison of the Preferred Role of Science and Scientists in the Marine and Terrestrial Policy Process

Creator:: Kloepfer, Daniel H.
Abstract:: The role of science in marine policy, and environmental policy in general, is a debated topic. Currently, there is an increasing desire for transparent and participatory democracy that involves more input from local residents and other non-experts.

Diesel fuel emissions and truck idling : the Oregon Interstate 5 Idle-Free Corridor Project : a bounded rationality perspective

Creator:: Ham, Clifford L.
Abstract:: Long-haul diesel trucks carry the lion’s share of all shipped goods in the United States. The drivers of these trucks often live in these trucks for days, sometimes weeks, at a time as they deliver these goods. When stopped overnight, many of these drivers leave their engines idling to heat...

Organizational Shifts Within the U.S. Forest Service: A Case Study of Senior Willamette National Forest Employees

Creator:: Bolick, Zachary L.
Abstract:: The U.S. Forest Service has been forced to adapt to numerous changes over the last three decades. These include a dramatic reduction in workforce, a declining budget, and controversial lawsuits. Moreover, recent agency wide studies suggest that within the Forest Service a new resource management paradigm has emerged that differs...

The poetics of water governance : differential language use in relation to water in El Salvador

Creator:: Ogden, Stephanie
Abstract:: The language of water policy both suggests and enforces the relationship that the public should have with water. Differences in language use between policy institutions and the public suggest that the understanding of water promoted through policy may be incongruent with the understanding of water held by the public. Semi-structured...

Acceptability of market-based approaches to water management : an analysis of the Deschutes Groundwater Mitigation Program

Creator:: Lieberherr, Eva K.
Abstract:: Growing urbanization, shifting water uses, and a focus on ecosystem health in the Deschutes River Basin in Central Oregon led to experimentation with new voluntary market-based approaches to water management in the last decade. To meet groundwater demands while maintaining instream flows and upholding prior water allocations, the Oregon Water...
