"What’s wrong with this AI?" Explainable AI (XAI) researchers are moving beyond explaining an AI’s actions, to helping users detect an AI’s failures. However this detection may not be enough—for actionability, we often need to pinpoint which part failed. We investigate how AAR/AI, a structured assessment process, supports users with...
Archaeological investigations at the Cooper's Ferry site in Western Idaho have recovered cultural remains dating to 16,000 years ago, suggesting the oldest human occupation recorded in North America. However, many archaeologists have argued the initial peopling of North America occurred no earlier than the opening of an ice-free corridor between...
Coral reef ecosystems are the most diverse on earth, and their subsistence is being threatened by natural and adverse anthropogenic patterns and processes. In an effort to understand and protect these marine environments, several programs have outlined strategies and initiatives. For example, the United States Coral Reef Task Force’s Mapping...

Natural disasters including hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, and fires often involve substantial physical and mental impacts on affected populations and thus are public health priorities. Limited research shows that vulnerable populations such as the low-income, socially isolated migrant and seasonal farmworkers (MSFW) are particularly susceptible to the effects of natural...

The Grants Pass Batholith of Cretaceous age has intruded the
Triassic Applegate Group and metasedimentary rocks of the Jurassic
Galice Formation in the Murphy area of Josephine County, southwest
Oregon. The Applegate Group, mafic volcanic and sedimentary rock,
has been partially (nonequilibrium) metamorphosed under greenschist
facies conditions. The batholith, a...

The three studies that comprise this dissertation seek to answer significant
questions in paleoclimatology through unconventional applications of ice core
greenhouse gas data. These studies involve different gases and span the interval of time
between the Last Glacial Maximum and the Industrial Revolution, but are united by their
nontraditional use...

We provide the first evidence on the causal effect of border enforcement on the
full spatial distribution of Mexican immigrants to the United States. We address the
endogeneity of border enforcement with an instrumental variables strategy based on
administrative delays in budgetary allocations for border security. We find that 1,000...
