Assessing water governance capacity in MENA : applying an institutional document analysis to Jordan

Creator:: Brown, Bridget N.
Abstract:: Water governance has been identified as a crucial component to improving conditions and balancing supply and demand of water resources in the water-scarce Middle East North Africa (MENA) region. Finding a method for, and commencing the process of, evaluating water governance is thus imperative. This study analyzes the potential to...

Towards a sustainable future : a global empirical analysis on the diffusion & innovation of carbon pricing policies

Creator:: Raghoo, Pravesh
Abstract:: There are currently 43 countries which have adopted some kind of carbon pricing policy – either adopted a carbon tax or entered a cap–and–trade, while the remaining countries have not. This has created significant diversity in the world with regard to climate change mitigation. There is thus a need to...

Preventing the Accumulation of Fine Sediments in Sand Dam Reservoirs: An Analytical Framework and Flume Experiments

Creator:: Ellingson, Joseph M.
Abstract:: Sand dams – low-head dams built in ephemeral streambeds that store water within saturated sediments – are a proven means to increase water supplies for rural communities in arid and semiarid regions. Water percolates into the reservoir-impounded sediments during wet season rains and can subsequently be extracted during the dry...

Co-producing Software for Environmental and Ecological Visualization

Creator:: Zanocco, Chad
Abstract:: Environmental scientists, land managers, and policy actors are increasingly presented with high-stakes high-uncertainty problems stemming from human-ecosystem interactions. To help address these problems, scientists frequently use models that produce enormous geospatial and temporal datasets that are constantly modified and often seek input from communities outside their discipline. To assist scientists—as...
