  • Using Satellite Imagery to Count Nesting Albatross from Space

    Creator:
    Dolliver, Jane E.
    Abstract:
    One fundamental concern in conservation biology is species abundance. For many taxa, however, these data are costly to obtain via direct observation and thus limited in geographic or temporal scope. Very high-resolution satellite imagery provides a means to address these limitations and provide remotely-sensed counts of large, colonial species. We...

  • The objects within : an applied OOO literary criticism

    Creator:
    Dodson, Matthew J.
    Abstract:
    For centuries, continental philosophy has clung to the belief that the world only meaningfully exists through human perception--that, in other words, when a tree falls in the forest, it does not make a sound.
