Meeting the Night : The Science and Mystery of an Endangered Habitat

Creator:: Sisson, Jill
Abstract:: Night is an extraordinary resource. Unlike air, water, or soil, nighttime is a spatio-temporal phenomenon, which leads to many crucial roles. It provides refuge to wildlife species, triggers hormonal and behavioral responses among a wide variety of organisms, and serves as an essential migratory backdrop for species that navigate by...

Exceeding the standards: The benefits of place-based environmental education in schools

Creator:: Miller, Rebecca W.
Abstract:: There is a growing body of research that describes the benefits of place-based environmental education (EE) within the schools, including improved competencies, better interpersonal skills, decreased gaps in social divides, increased pupil engagement in learning, increased community awareness, and increased environmental stewardship. Though the benefits are many, few schools utilize...

An Interdisciplinary Agent-based Evacuation Modeling Framework: Seeking Convergence of Social, Natural, and Engineered Systems to Improve Life Safety in the Cascadia Subduction Zone

Creator:: Chen, Chen
Abstract:: Social scientists have studied people's responses to disasters for many decades, and behavioral commonalities and variations are summarized in different mental schemes/models in disaster studies. Integrating those findings from social science into evacuation simulation can improve simulation accuracy and eventually better support decision-making and disaster preparedness. However, this kind of...

Planning for the Future Forest on the Northern Shawangunk Ridge: Climate-Adaptive Disturbance Preparedness and Response Recommendations

Creator:: Randazzo, Andrew
Abstract:: Mohonk Preserve intends to manage their forestland more actively with the mission of promoting forest health, climate-adaptation, and overall ecosystem health for the benefit of their community and recreational users. Climate-adaptive management recommendations (recommendations that address climate change vulnerabilities —by promoting either resistance, resilience, or transition— while helping to meet...

Vegetation Community Data to Inform Climate-Adaptation Management; Gardiner, New York

Creator:: Randazzo, Andrew
Abstract:: Climate change represents an increasing threat to northeastern temperate forests. Nearly all forest communities have been affected by climate change and require climate-adaptation management (Jandl et al. 2018). Climate-adaptation management (CAM) promotes the viability of forested systems and the ecosystem services they provide under current and future climatic conditions (Bolte...

Restoring Ponderosa Pine: Understanding Individual Tree Defenses, Disturbance Responses, and Resilience

Creator:: Johnson, Christal
Abstract:: The aim of this research was to provide forest managers and researchers with a better understanding of individual tree defenses and tree responses to disturbances, within a Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program area. Forest restoration often aims to increase stand-level resistance to uncharacteristic changes, and stand-level resistance begins with tree-level...

A decade of tidal wetland development at the Ni-les’tun restoration project on the southern Oregon coast

Creator:: Janousek, Christopher, van de Wetering, Stan, Brophy, Laura, Cornu, Craig, and Tice-Lewis, Maxwell
Abstract:: The Ni-les’tun tidal wetland restoration project in the Coquille River Estuary in southern Oregon is one of the largest and most well-studied tidal restoration projects on the Pacific Northwest coast. However, ecological data on restoration effectiveness and ecosystem change following restoration are relatively rare for projects more than a few...

“We Don’t Stop ‘til We Get There”: Reframing the Hip Hop Ill-literacies of Latinx Youth

Creator:: Cole, Matthew C.
Abstract:: The experiences of Latinx youth are well-studied in U.S. schools, yet, few studies have focused on their experiences in Community Based Educational Spaces (CBES). CBES continue to be on the periphery of Education research despite the potential affordances of youth-led work in such out-of-school spaces (Baldridge, 2020). At the same...
