  • Irrigation Management Transfer in Mexico
    www.water-alternatives.org Volume 6 | Issue 3 Rap, E. and Wester, P. 2013. The practices and politics of making policy: Irrigation management transfer in Mexico. Water Alternatives 6(3): 506-531 The Practices and Politics of Making Policy: Irrigation Management Transfer in Mexico Edwin Rap International Water Management Institute, Cairo, Egypt; [email protected] Philippus Wester International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD), Kathmandu, Nepal; [email protected], and Water Resources Management Group, Wageningen University, Wageningen, the Netherlands; [email protected] ABSTRACT: This article argues that policy making is an interactive and ongoing process that transcends the spatio- temporal boundaries drawn by a linear, rational or instrumental model of policy. We construct this argument by analysing the making of the Irrigation Management Transfer (IMT) policy in Mexico in the early 1990s, focusing on different episodes of its re-emergence, standardisation, and acceleration. During this period a standardised policy package was developed, consisting of a set of specific policy technologies to effect the transfer to Water Users’ Associations (WUAs). These technologies were assembled in response to geographically dispersed trials of strength: experiments, consultations and clashes in the field, and negotiations at the national and international level. A newly installed public water authority increasingly succeeded in coordinating the convergence and accumulation of dispersed experiences and ideas on how to make the transfer work. Our analysis shows how this composite package of policy technologies worked to include a network of support and to exclude opposition at different levels, while at the same time stabilising an interpretation of policy-related events.

  • Chemical Engineering at UCSB 2020 Newsletter a LETTER from the CHAIR Dear Friends, All Is Normally a Wonderful Time of Anticipation in the Department
    Chemical Engineering at UCSB 2020 Newsletter A LETTER FROM THE CHAIR Dear Friends, all is normally a wonderful time of anticipation in the department. Research is in high gear while we have had Fjust enough time to wish one graduating class well in their future careers and begin to look forward to and plan for the arrival of a new generation of undergraduate and graduate students. The view from Engineering II is normally spectacular and May Gray and June Gloom make way for blue skies and white water below the cliffs. For all of us, 2020 has been a year of unprecedented and at times unsettling change, but the anticipatory feeling of Fall is the same. We are starting to see the opportunities amidst the challenges and renew our commitment to rising above the storm for the betterment of our society. I cannot say enough about the remarkable ways in which our faculty, staff, and students have been a bright light this year. As we made an abrupt shift to remote teaching and shut down of experimental research laboratories, creative, innovative solutions emerged from every corner. A core group of faculty taught a series of crash courses in online teaching in early March just before an abrupt shift to remote instruction at the end of winter quarter. We held similar trainings for spring quarter TAs, who later helped us discover that online submission and grading of work is remarkably easier than the usual way. The faculty have now spent this summer realizing that the ability to slow us down and replay us (via recorded lectures) led to greater learning for some students while the loss of personal connection was hard on all of us.

  • Determining the Vulnerability of Mexican Pine Forests to Bark Beetles of the Genus Dendroctonus Erichson (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae)
    Determining the vulnerability of Mexican pine forests to bark beetles of the genus Dendroctonus Erichson (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) Y. Salinas-Morenoa,*, A. Agerb, C.F.Vargasa,J.L. Hayesc, G. Zunigaa ABSTRACT Bark beetles of the genus Dendroctonus are natural inhabitants of forests; under particular conditions some species of this genus can cause large-scale tree mortality. However, only in recent decades has pri- ority been given to the comprehensive study of these insects in Mexico. Mexico possesses high ecological diversity in Dendroctonus-Pinus associations. The geographic coexistence of 12 Dendroctonus species suggests greater vulnerability or threat of tree mortality relative to other areas. We use a biogeographic strategy to identify and rank the areas most vulnerable to tree mortality caused by bark beetles in Mex- ico. We aim to define the areas that might experience high impact by these insects and also to provide a geographic database useful to forest resource management and conservation policies in Mexico. Using collection records of bark beetles and pines, we develop a quantitative estimate of the threat of beetle infestation of forest areas based on factors including pine and beetle species density, host preference and level of mortality caused by beetle species. A quantitative estimate of forest area vulnerability, the Bark Beetle Threat Index (BBTI) was calculated. Despite the vast area of geographic coincidence of Pinus and Dendroctonus in Mexico, the regions of highest bark beetle pressure are restricted to small zones within some mountain systems. The region that has been most affected by this insect group during the past hundred years is the Transverse Volcanic Belt, followed by the Sierra Madre Occidental and Sierra Madre del Sur.

  • Review on the Formation and Geochemistry of the Mega Crystals of Naica, México

Review on the formation and geochemistry of the mega crystals of Naica, México. Ana Laura Gutiérrez Gutiérrez, Maria de Jesus Puy y Alquiza, and Pooja Kshirsagar Universidad de Guanajuato, Division de Ingenierias, Departamento de Ingenierías en Minas, Metalurgia y Geología., Guanajuato, México ([email protected])) In the state of Chihuahua, Mexico, a mine located in Naica is one of the most important Pb and Zn deposits in the world. The region manifests several caves with varities of gypsum crystals (Ca4 H2O) known as selenite (the largest in the world so far, specimens up to eleven meters in length and one meter in thickness). The present abstract discusses the formation mechanism of these gigantic crystals. The review is based on the interpretations made by early workers (which includes one doctorate thesis and two Bulletins). The interpretations were made on 19 samples of anhydrites that were collected at a depth of -345 meters. At this depth the early workers also found microscopically alternating dark dolomite and light bands of anhydrite. The dolomite-anhydrite association is generally associated with mineral recrystallization events. With the geological review carried out, two sources of sulfates were identified: one is La Virgen Formation and the second in the stratiform anhydrite of the Aurora Formation. Formation of hydrothermal anhydrite during the last stage of mineralization has been attributed to the formation of selenite mega crystals due to its dissolution.

It can be found as four main variations: gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O), bassanite (CaSO4·0.5H2O), soluble Citation: Carreño-Márquez, I.J.A.; anhydrite, and insoluble anhydrite (CaSO4), being the key difference the hydration state of the Castillo-Sandoval, I.; Pérez-Cázares, sulfate mineral. Naica giant crystals’ growth starts from a supersaturated solution in a delicate B.E.; Fuentes-Cobas, L.E.; Esparza- thermodynamic balance close to equilibrium, where gypsum can form nanocrystals able to grow Ponce, H.E.; Menéndez-Méndez, E.; up to 11–12 m long.

Alexander3 , and Andrea J. Ray3 • The leading source of moisture varies depending on the part of the region 1Department of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering, University of Colorado Boulder, Boulder, CO, USA, • Land is an important source of 2 3 moisture during the summer season Cooperative Institute of Research in Environmental Sciences, University of Colorado Boulder, Boulder, CO, USA, NOAA • Large-scale circulation features are Earth System Research Laboratory, Boulder, CO, USA consistent with major pathways of moisture Abstract We investigated the moisture sources and tracks that enable summer rainfall over the four-state Supporting Information: southwestern U.S. region of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah by employing a high-resolution • Supporting Information S1 Lagrangian particle tracking model. Six locations were selected—Cedar City (Utah), Grand Junction • Table S1 (Colorado), Eastonville (Colorado), Laveen (Arizona), Redrock (New Mexico), and Melrose (New Mexico) • Table S2 —together, they represent six spatial regions of summer precipitation for the Southwest. Moisture tracks – Correspondence to: were generated for all the rainy days at these stations for the historical period 1979 2013. Tracks were S. Jana and B. Rajagopalan, generated for a 3-day period ending with the day of rainfall, which were then used to identify the [email protected]; source of moisture, pathway or trajectory, and the modulation along the track. The four major sources of [email protected] moisture—Gulf of California, Gulf of Mexico (GoM), land, and the Pacific Ocean—were identified as responsible for summer rainfall over southwestern United States.
