Transboundary Water Management Among the Riparian States of the Mekong: Using the Water Governance Reform Framework to Prevent Conflict

Creator:: Eilers, Michael
Abstract:: Few river systems in the world are under equal or more stress than Southeast(SE) Asia’s Mekong River. Several factors threaten the Mekong as the riparian states of China, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam jockey for position within its geopolitical sphere. Climate change, globalization,industrialization, urbanization, economic growth, and hydro-hegemony...

Scientists' perspectives on the importance of scientific communication in natural resource decision-making

Creator:: Shaw, Christine Michelle
Abstract:: Natural resource decisions require consideration at many levels, ranging from how one invertebrate will be affected by a nearby road, to how an entire watershed will be transformed by a massive clearcut. Considerations reach farther than just the local ecological community-human communities, economies, and future impacts on the communities and...

Is wave energy comparatively sustainable in Oregon?

Creator:: Yin, Yao
Abstract:: This essay provides a snapshot of sustainability and acceptability of wave energy and eight other electricity-generating energy sources in Oregon. Since “sustainability” is an important point of view in decision-making, the paper is centered around the concept. Although there is no consensus on the definition of sustainability in the academic...

The possibility of international agreements concerning genetically modified organisms in the European Union

Creator:: Fairbrother, Jennifer R.
Abstract:: As genetically modified products come under greater production, tensions surrounding the potential benefits and harms of the technology have appeared in divergent policy between the European Union (EU) and certain member states. The purpose of this thesis is to consider whether some type of international law, also called an environmental...

Looking for 'common ground' in genetically modified crops policy : an interview-based study

Creator:: Starr, Christopher D.
Abstract:: Over 90 percent of the soy, cotton, and corn sold in the United States are genetically modified crops (GM crops). However, there was a 209 percent growth in USDA certified organic food from 2005-2015, reflecting a growing interest in non-GMO food. The policy debate over GM crops takes place between...

Exploring Roles for Scientists and Simulation Models in Collaborative, Science-Based Ecosystem Restoration

Creator:: Hughes, John
Abstract:: The U.S. Forest Service’s Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program (CFLRP) seeks to encourage collaborative, science-based ecosystem restoration of forest landscapes. Many theorists note a tension between participatory approaches in governance and the certainty and control that science is said to offer. This research explores how collaboration and science are currently...

Determinants of public opinion on renewable energy : the case of wave energy development in Oregon

Creator:: Stefanovich Petrova, Maria A.
Abstract:: Renewable energy resources, such as wind, solar, and wave, have a number of advantages compared to traditional fossil fuels. Numerous studies attest to the physical potential for wave energy development in Oregon. In transitioning from conventional fossil fuel to alternative energy provision, citizen understanding of the global energy problems and...
