  • Progress in the Search for Early Sites in the Lower Salmon River Canyon, Idaho: A Case Study in Geoarchaeological Prospection

    Creator:
    Lancaster, JD L.
    Abstract:
    The search for and discovery of early archaeological sites is an inherently geoarchaeological problem. Archaeological sites of late Pleistocene-age are known to be located in the Intermountain West, however, the record of these early sites remains limited to only a few examples. In the lower Salmon River canyon (LSRC), the...

    Abstract:
    American railroads have faced a declining share of freight traffic relative to other modes. Although a variety of reasons have been identified for this decline, most experts agree that a contributing problem is that the rail system is overdeveloped with unprofitable branchlines. Many economic models have been utilized to analyze...

  • Investing upstream : a social-ecological systems perspective on water utility investments in ecosystem services

    Creator:
    Bennett, Drew E.
    Abstract:
    The concept of ecosystem services broadens perspectives on nature to include not only intrinsic value but also the utilitarian value it provides to society. Viewing nature through this lens informs our understanding of how particular ecological processes benefit different actors. In this research, I examine how water utilities in the...
