Dissertation Advisor: Charles Rosenberg Jennifer Christine Thomson From Wilderness to the Toxic Environment: Health in American Environmental Politics, 1945-Present Abstract This dissertation joins the history of science and medicine with environmental history to explore the language of health in environmental politics. Today, in government policy briefs and mission statements of environmental non-profits, newspaper editorials and activist journals, claims about the health of the planet and its human and non-human inhabitants abound. Yet despite this rhetorical ubiquity, modern environmental politics are ideologically and organizationally fractured along the themes of whose health is at stake and how that health should be protected.

  • Climate Change Advocacy Online: Theories of Change, Target Audiences, and Online Strategy
    Climate change advocacy online: Theories of change, target audiences, and online strategy Luis E. Hestres Department of Communication, The University of Texas at San Antonio, USA Email: [email protected] This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in Environmental Politics on March 2015, available online: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/09644016.2015.992600. Abstract Widespread adoption of the Internet has transformed how most U.S. political advocacy organizations operate, but perhaps more important has been the formation of new types of advocacy organizations. These ‘Internet-mediated advocacy organizations’ tend to have smaller, geographically dispersed and networked staffs, behave as hybrids of traditional political organizations, and emphasize the use of online tools for offline action. The climate change debate has spurred formation of many such organizations—including 350.org—that now advocate for climate action alongside legacy/environmental organizations. How do these organizations differ from their legacy/environmental counterparts? What does their rise mean for climate change political advocacy? I explore these and other questions through in-depth interviews with top online strategists and other staffers at Environmental Defense Fund, Natural Resources Defense Council, Sierra Club, Greenpeace USA, Energy Action Coalition, 1Sky, and 350.org. Interviews revealed broad agreement among Internet- mediated/climate groups regarding core strategic assumptions about climate advocacy, but some divergence among legacy/environmental organizations. They also revealed connections between these assumptions, audience segment targeting, and strategic use of the Internet for advocacy. I discuss implications for the future of U.S. climate advocacy.

  • CALIFORNIA FISH and GAME "CONSERVATION of WILDLIFE THROUGH EDUCATION"
    REPRINT FROM CALIFORNIA FISH and GAME "CONSERVATION OF WILDLIFE THROUGH EDUCATION" VOLUME 44 OCTOBER, 195S NUMBER 4 CONDITIONS OF EXISTENCE, GROWTH, AND LONGEVITY OF BROOK TROUT IN A SMALL, HIGH-ALTITUDE LAKE OF THE EASTERN SIERRA NEVADA' NORMAN REIMERS Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service Reno, Nevada INTRODUCTION Eastern brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) are introduced at finger- ling size into many alpine lakes in California, on a population-sustain- ing rather than a put-and-take stocking basis. Although these trout are best appreciated by anglers for their readiness to take baits and lures, and for their quality in the frying pan, they are also favored by fishery managers for their ability to maintain themselves in such marginal situ- ations as are frequently found in high-mountain lakes. Whereas other species generally require moving water and selected stream-bottom areas for spawning, brook trout are often able to reproduce by spawn- ing on spring-fed areas of the lake bottom. This lake-spawning ability is an important factor in the maintenance of trout populations in drainages where some lakes, otherwise well qualified to support trout, have no interconnecting streams or have their tributaries channeled through broken rock in which there is little if any bottom suitable for spawning. To learn more about the success and longevity of brook trout in a poor habitat at high altitude, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 1951 began a study of Bunny Lake, a snow-fed, 21-acre cirque lake located at the upper limit of drainage (elevation 10,900 feet ; U.

    Sudeep Chandra, PhD Dr. Sudeep Chandra’s research at the University of Nevada focuses on the conservation and restoration of aquatic ecosystems with a goal of improving environmental policy based on scientific information. Sudeep has been a strong advocate of cooperative international research and conservation. His interest in international research began in 1997 when he participated in the Tahoe-Baikal Institute’s annual environmental exchange program, which brought him to Lake Baikal, Russia. In 2003, he was awarded his 1st international research project from the Trust for Mutual Understanding and the National Geographic Society to investigate the impacts of mining activities on the rivers of the upper Lake Baikal watershed in Mongolia. This work led to the development of a project funded by the Global Environment Fund and World Bank to use faith-based initiatives and scientific approaches to conserve the world’s largest trout (Hucho taimen) in Mongolia. Through nongovernmental organizations (Great Basin Institute, Earth Watch), Sudeep worked with his students to conserve one of the last population strong holds of the American crocodile along the Central coast of Mexico. Support from NATO provided an opportunity for Sudeep and his colleagues to train local students and understand how lakes utilized for irrigation may be used for fisheries production in Uzbekistan. Together with his colleague and friend, Dr. Zeb Hogan, host of the globally watched National Geographic show Monster Fish, Sudeep has travelled to Bhutan to develop approaches for conserving Bhutanese rivers and the giant golden mahseer (Tor putitora); they recently established the Global Water Center at the University of Nevada.
