Eugene Residents Risk Perceptions of Water Scarcity

Creator:: Leitermann, Lily
Abstract:: Potential water scarcity and drought conditions are predicted in and around Eugene, Oregon due to decreased snowpack and subsequent decreased snowmelt in the Western Cascade Mountains.

Protected-area effectiveness near dynamic colonization zones : Forest clearance in and around Amboró National Park, Bolivia

Creator:: Bucklin, David N.
Abstract:: Protected natural areas are important reserves for biodiversity, and in the tropics, often play a role in deterring deforestation. This paper evaluates the effectiveness of a protected-area with a two-tiered management regime in Bolivia, Amboró National Park and Integrated Management Natural Area (IMNA), in deterring clearance of forest. Four satellite...
