Assessing the Impact of Mpas on Recreational Uses of A Marine Ecosystem: the Case of the Côte Bleue Marine Park (France)

Creator:: Lavisse, Elodie, Charbonnel, Eric, Le Direach, Laurence, Roncin, Nicolas, Wilson, James, Boncoeur, Jean, and Alban, Frédérique
Abstract:: Though the basic purpose of MPAs is marine ecosystem conservation, the question of their influence on the local economy is often critical since it governs their social acceptability. This paper addresses the problem of measuring the consequences of creating a marine protected area (MPA) on recreational extractive and non-extractive uses...

The effects of thermodynamic parameterizations, ice shelf geometry, and tides on modeled basal melting of Weddell Sea ice shelves

Creator:: Mueller, Rachael D.
Abstract:: Antarctic Ice Sheet mass balance and, hence, sea level change is affected by the floating extensions of outlet glaciers and ice streams that take up about 44% of the coastline (Drewry et al., 1982) and are referred to as "ice shelves". Ice sheet mass loss accelerates when these ice shelves...

Disputed Spaces : Concheras, Shrimp Aquaculture, and Conservation in the Mangrove Forests of Southern Esmeraldas, Ecuador

Creator:: Treviño Peña, Melva B.
Abstract:: The mangrove ecosystem has served as a life-support system to large populations of coastal dwellers in Ecuador for many generations. Diverse communities comprised of multi-racial and multi-ethnic groups have formed along the edge of the mangrove forests throughout the Ecuadorian coast. These groups self-identify as being part of an “ancestral”...

Neoliberal Policy, Rural Livelihoods and Urban Food Security in West Africa: A Comparative Study of The Gambia, Côte d’Ivoire and Mali

Creator:: Moseley, William G., Carney, Judith, and Becker, Laurence
Abstract:: This study examines the impact of two decades of neoliberal policy reform on food production and household livelihood security in three West African countries. The rice sectors in The Gambia, Côte d’Ivoire, and Mali are scrutinized as well as cotton and its relationship to sorghum production in Mali. Although market...

Banks, Gardens and Bees: Enhancing Community Resilience in West Africa

Creator:: Polasky, Sophia
Abstract:: International development programs are often implemented with the goal of building community resilience, but without a clear articulation of how this goal will be met, or any consideration of if or why the effort was successful after it has concluded. This thesis considers three different activities implemented by the U....

Examining the Effects of Artisanal, Small-scale Gold Mining on Livelihood Assets in Kedougou, Senegal

Creator:: Zoch, Grant L.
Abstract:: The frontlines of climate change adaptation will occur in rural, impoverished regions of the world where households engage in climatically dependent livelihoods, such as peasant agriculture or pastoralism. As changing climate and changing markets affect the suite of household livelihood assets (environmental, social, and economic) which enable a household to...

Development of Temperature-Stable Relaxor Dielectrics for High Energy Density Capacitor Applications

Creator:: McCue, Connor
Abstract:: High performance dielectric materials are needed for high power SiC- or GaN-based electronics which combine the best features of high energy density, low dielectric loss and high reliability and for advanced high-speed and high-voltage energy storage where temperature stability plays an important role in material properties. An ideal capacitor for...

Colonization, Statemaking, and Development: A Political Ecology of the Saru River Development Project, Hokkaido, Japan

Creator:: Ioannides, Michael J.
Abstract:: Although dam construction has been an integral tool in development initiatives for nearly a century, dams can have significant negative impacts on local residents, particularly those who are permanently displaced from their homes and must be resettled elsewhere. Dams have unique impacts on indigenous peoples. As a result, many dam...

Environmental limitation mapping of potential biomass resources across the conterminous United States

Creator:: Daly, Christopher, Halbleib, Michael D., Hannaway, David B., and Eaton, Laurence M.
Abstract:: Several crops have recently been identified as potential dedicated bioenergy feedstocks for the production of power, fuels, and bioproducts. Despite being identified as early as the 1980s, no systematic work has been undertaken to characterize the spatial distribution of their long-term production potentials in the United states. Such information is...

Livelihoods and land use change in highland Ethiopia

Creator:: Guillozet, Kathleen
Abstract:: This dissertation investigates livelihood and land use change dynamics in a community at the farm-forest periphery in highland Ethiopia. I use interviews and livelihood assessment data to compare the strategies used by members of different wealth groups to negotiate and maintain access to forest resources, and integrate socioeconomic, bio-physical and...
