  • The Fundamental Behavior of CLT Floor-to-Wall Connections in Fire

    Creator:
    Redus, James Aaron
    Abstract:
    This thesis focuses on the fundamental behavior of CLT floor-to-wall connections during a fire. Cross-laminated timber (CLT) panelized structures rely on floor-to-wall connections for the load path and stability of the structure. Additionally, the fire performance of these connections is critical to prevent horizontal or vertical fire spread within these...

  • Transboundary groundwater : geopolitical consequences, commons sense, and the law of the hidden sea

    Creator:
    Jarvis, William Todd
    Abstract:
    With 97% of the world’s freshwater resources stored underground, the connection between groundwater resources to the metrics of space, scale and time common to the geographic study of natural resources has not been extensively investigated by geographers. While nearly 240 transboundary aquifers are mapped across the world, a potential “tragedy”...

  • A collaborative potential assessment of project atmospheric brown clouds

    Creator:
    McNally, Amy
    Abstract:
    Collaboration between scientists and decision makers is a critical element in mobilizing science into action. Likewise, the United Nations defines collaboration between scientists and policymakers as a requisite component in the process of sustainable development. Despite the UN sustainability movement beginning in 1983, scientists may still be frustrated by their...

  • A topography of dams in China : impacts to agriculture, labor, and migration

    Creator:
    Foster-Moore, Eric
    Abstract:
    Dams are often promoted as a tool to reduce poverty and spur economic development. Dam construction worldwide, and particularly in China, which has built nearly half the world's large dams since 1949, remains contentious due to the potential for negative environmental and socioeconomic impacts. Despite numerous case studies, there is...

  • Is dam development a mechanism for human security? Scale and perception of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam on the Blue Nile River in Ethiopia and the Xayaburi Dam on the Mekong River in Laos

    Creator:
    Veilleux, Jennifer Corinne
    Abstract:
    Human security is a framework related to the stability and sustainability of political, environmental, economical, and socio-cultural areas of concern. Water resources around the world are under increased pressure from increased development, growing populations, pollution, and global climate change. Large-scale dam development while still popular for political and economic development...

  • Exploring Educational Tools to Improve Transboundary Groundwater Management

    Creator:
    Steritz, Melissa S.
    Abstract:
    Groundwater tables are dropping quickly in many regions of the world. Central Asia is an arid region where groundwater abstraction rates often exceed recharge rates. The Pretashkent Aquifer is a crucial transboundary groundwater resource for the Republics of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Both countries rely on the aquifer as a primary...
