This chapter discusses the possible factors, both inside and outside the US and Canada, which may affect future trends in international student mobility.
Drought events have been shown to impact species distributions and are predicted to increase in frequency as the climate changes. As this occurs, ecologists predict species distributions will shift dependent upon species ability to track climate. These shifts in species distribution are expected to be particularly acute in arid and...
Dealing with event waste provides opportunities for examining and changing practices involving single-use materials, especially plastics. Reducing event waste is one way to act on and practice the library's commitment to sustainable library operations. Using the Party Pack (reusable place settings) eliminates the purchase and disposal of single-use plastics.
Session attendees will learn from, and engage with, three panelists who have/are planning compost collection programs in their academic libraries. Each program is in a different stage of implementation. Panelists will share their experiences and lessons learned with library composting and user education. Attendees will take away practical steps to...
Does the wage gap exist in careers that require higher levels of educational attainment? Research indicates that, on average, women make around 80% of what men earn. This study aims to investigate the relationship between educational attainment and the magnitude of the wage gap. Due to the differences in gender...
The Slices Framework is intended for use in making decisions about conservation and restoration in the Willamette River floodplain. It makes use of distinct spatial units for tracking change in the floodplain. The first of these units are 1 kilometer long slices drawn at right angles to the floodplain, first...

Cinder cones are useful geomorphic features for geological analysis because they generally have known initial states and follow a similar pattern of degradation as they are exposed to erosive processes. This is largely because cinder cones are produced by monogenetic eruptions. Characterizing large cinder cone fields in terms of age...
