A Comparison of Three Mobile Mapping Our team partnered with Humboldt County’s Dual Recovery 3-D Data Collection Techniques Program to design/implement new methods for evaluating the degree to which their program supported clients in recovery from David Gwenzi, Environmental Science & Management, Faculty co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. Our project College of Natural Resources & Sciences took a holistic, whole person approach which took cultural, social, In this project, GSP 330 (Mobile Mapping) students evaluated environmental, and medical factors into account when assessing 3 methods of collecting three dimensional (3D) data at Ma-le’l client’s process of recovery.

Analyzing Landslide Susceptibility in Jake, Communication, Undergraduate Student Monterey County, California, Using MaxEnt College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences Robert Becker, Environmental Science & Management, Undergraduate Student My research recognizes, evaluates, and dissects the intersections of David Gwenzi, Environmental Science & Management, Faculty Political Theory and Communication to offer a rhetorical criticism of mainstream environmentalism. Through a careful analysis of College of Natural Resources & Sciences case studies, political processes, and interdisciplinary theory, I Landslides are a destructive geological process that can destroy illustrate and criticize how environmentalism as a justice movement infrastructure, homes, and cause human fatalities. Over recent years has been co-opted by capitalism through its commodification and there have been many damaging landslides along the California farcical regulation. In these regards, I conclude by acknowledging coast. Analyzing areas of high landslide risk potential can allow for and appreciating the discursive efforts of Armory Lovins, Hunter preventative measures before the economic hardship of a massive Lovins, Paul Hawken for their work in Natural Capitalism, as well as repair or worst case scenario loss of life. This study aims to address the political progress of Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasia-Cortez the need of accurate predictive maps of landslide vulnerability and her proposed Green New Deal. in the Monterey County, CA. Weight of evidence based on prior landslides and selected triggering factors will be modeled within the MaxEnt software package to create landslide susceptibility maps. 9.

Angels Camp and The Rhetorical Power of Jumping Bullfrogs College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences Todd Loughran, English, Undergraduate Student This report summarizes the experience working with Humboldt County Office of Education at the Eureka Community School. The College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences goal of this project is to enhance visibility of the education system My hometown of Angels Camp is a bit bullfrog crazy because the at court schools and improve upon each individual’s learning town has various statues, paintings, and plaques of bullfrogs all experience. This was accomplished through in-depth interviews over the town. There is even an annual fair where people from all with staff faculty at the Eureka Community School alongside 30+ over the world compete to see how far their bullfrog can jump. volunteer hours as an aid in the classroom. My project would explore the use of the bullfrog as an important rhetorical artifact in Angels Camp as the reason the town has prospered very well. This will be done by taking a look at the 10.

Here, NLPs were assembled using Anthony Ratto, Kinesiology, Graduate Student two techniques: dialysis & biobead adsorption. These methods differ in the removal of a detergent called cholate. The Biobead College of Professional Studies method is much faster, but is relatively untested, whereas the A rating of perceived exertion (RPE) scale is a numerical dialysis method is in current use, but is fairly time consuming.
