    Annual Review 2016/17 Pushing at the frontiers of Knowledge Portrait of Dr Henry Odili Nwume (Brasenose) by Sarah Jane Moon – see The Full Picture, page 17. FOREWORD 2016/17 has been a memorable year for the country and for our University. In the ever-changing and deeply uncertain world around us, the University of Oxford continues to attract the most talented students and the most talented academics from across the globe. They convene here, as they have always done, to learn, to push at the frontiers of knowledge and to improve the world in which we find ourselves. One of the highlights of the past twelve months was that for the second consecutive year we were named the top university in the world by the Times Higher Education Global Rankings. While it is reasonable to be sceptical of the precise placements in these rankings, it is incontrovertible that we are universally acknowledged to be one of the greatest universities in the world. This is a privilege, a responsibility and a challenge. Other highlights include the opening of the world’s largest health big data institute, the Li Ka Shing Centre for Health Information and Discovery, and the launch of OSCAR – the Oxford Suzhou Centre for Advanced Research – a major new research centre in Suzhou near Shanghai. In addition, the Ashmolean’s success in raising £1.35 million to purchase King Alfred’s coins, which included support from over 800 members of the public, was a cause for celebration. The pages that follow detail just some of the extraordinary research being conducted here on perovskite solar cells, indestructible tardigrades and driverless cars.

Across the world, countries are concerned about the growing resource consumption and the capacity of ecosystems to provide them. To effectively conserve biodiversity, it is essential to make indicators and knowledge openly available to decision-makers in ways that they can effectively use them. The development and deployment of mechanisms to produce these indicators depend on having access to trustworthy data from field surveys and automated sensors, biological collections, molec- ular data, and historic academic literature. The transformation of this raw data into synthesized information that is fit for use requires going through many refinement steps. The methodologies and techniques used to manage and analyze this data comprise an area often called biodiversity informatics (or e-Biodiversity). Bio- diversity data follows a life cycle consisting of planning, collection, certification, description, preservation, discovery, integration, and analysis.

  • The Past As a Constituent of the Present: Social Waters and Posthumanism at Cara Blanca, Belize
    THE PAST AS A CONSTITUENT OF THE PRESENT: SOCIAL WATERS AND POSTHUMANISM AT CARA BLANCA, BELIZE BY JEAN T. LARMON DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2019 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Lisa J. Lucero, Chair Professor Stanley Ambrose Professor Timothy Pauketat Assistant Professor Alison Carter, University of Oregon ABSTRACT Cara Blanca is a system of natural pools in central Belize accessed by bodies (human and non-) for millennia, both for physical and spiritual sustenance. Most prominently, the pools are home to ancient Maya ceremonial architecture and ritual remains that emerged and were accessed by Maya during a period of prolonged and severe droughts in the Terminal Classic period (800-900 CE). Almost 27,000 years earlier, the pools were visited by extinct giant ground sloths also in search of reprieve from drought. I examine archaeological and paleoecological materials from Cara Blanca in the Terminal Classic period (800-900 CE) and paleontological material from 27,000 years ago to show that water was essential in the formation of human and non-human relations at the Cara Blanca pools. This dissertation examines, through a framework of posthumanism, the ways in which the shifting climate has impacted the context of Cara Blanca throughout millennia. I focus on the role of water in maintaining an integrated landscape through these climate shifts and show that water was the integrating force in the construction of the Cara Blanca space during the Terminal Classic period of Maya occupation, as well as pre- and post- Maya occupation.

  • ABSTRACT WU, YU. Essays on Deforestation
    ABSTRACT WU, YU. Essays on Deforestation and Forest Ecosystem Services: An Economic Perspective. (Under the direction of Erin O. Sills). The recognition of deforestation as a major source of carbon emissions has invigorated worldwide efforts to reduce deforestation. Yet questions remain about whether these efforts have been effective in reducing deforestation and, if so, which interventions have been most effective. One reason for this uncertainty is that decision-making and the drivers of deforestation change over time as the frontier evolves. The first essay in my dissertation examines this evolution by modeling deforestation using an 18-year panel on 8,770 farm properties in a typical agrarian settlement established by the Brazilian federal government in the Amazonian State of Rondônia. Previous studies throughout the tropics have found that market access—one of the key drivers of deforestation— is positively correlated with deforestation. This relationship has been attributed to the effect of market access on farm-gate prices for agricultural and/or timber products. However, access to markets also means access to urban centers, which has multiple influences on household decisions. I incorporate these multiple dimensions of urban access into a household production framework and demonstrate that their combined effect on deforestation is ambiguous and can change over time. I test whether the effect of distance to cities has changed over time in the study region. Specifically, I test for structural shifts in the relationship between distance to cities and deforestation. Estimation results for a two-part, within-between random effects model show that after controlling for forest stock and other drivers of deforestation, the relationship between distance to cities and deforestation changed from negative to positive around 2004.
