Boundary Form Effects on Woody Colonization of Reclaimed Surface Mines
(Wiley, 1989-10)Woody plants and evidence of browsing were measured on eight reclaimed strip mines in Maryland and West Virginia to see whether revegetation patterns differed adjacent to concave, straight, and convex forest boundaries. ... -
Long-Term Threats to Canada's James Bay from Hydro-Electrical Development
(Arctic Institute of North America, 1990) -

Modeling the Atmospheric Transport and Deposition of PCDD/F to the Great Lakes
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2002)Atmospheric deposition is a significant loading pathway for polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (dioxin) to the Great Lakes. An innovative approach using NOAA's HYSPLIT atmospheric fate and transport model ... -
Environmental Equity and Health: Understanding Complexity and Moving Forward
(American Public Health Association, 2003)The authors invoke a population health perspective to assess the distribution of environmental hazards according to race/ethnicity, social class, age, gender, and sexuality and the implications of these hazards for ... -
Assessing Ozone-Related Health Impacts under a Changing Climate
(Environmental Health Perspectives, 2004)Climate change may increase the frequency and intensity of ozone episodes in future summers in the United States. However, only recently have models become available that can assess the impact of climate change on O3 ... -
Simulating Changes in Regional Air Pollution over the Eastern United States Due to Changes in Global and Regional Climate and Emissions
(American Geophysical Union, 2004)[1] To simulate ozone (O3) air quality in future decades over the eastern United States, a modeling system consisting of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies Atmosphere-Ocean Global Climate Model, the Pennsylvania ... -
Sensitivity of Present and Future Surface Temperatures to Precipitation Characteristics
(Inter-Research Science Center, 2004)A model simulation study shows that different diurnal cycles of precipitation are consistent with radically different present and future climate characteristics. In projected future climate scenarios, divergence in the ... -
Simulating Regional-Scale Ozone Climatology over the Eastern United States: Model Evaluation Results
(Elsevier BV, 2004)To study the potential impacts of climate change on air quality and public health over the eastern United States, a coupled global/regional-scale modeling system consisting of the NASA-Goddard Institute for Space Studies ... -
Health Impacts from Climate-Change Induced Changes in Ozone Levels in 85 United States Cities
(Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2004)Introduction: Global warming could impact human health through multiple pathways, including the shifting of ecosystems and associated vector-borne diseases, changes to water resources, and heat-related mortality. As the ... -

Links between the Built Environment, Climate and Population Health: Interdisciplinary Environmental Change Research in New York City
(Academy of Medicine, Singapore, 2007)Global climate change is expected to pose increasing challenges for cities in the following decades, placing greater stress and impacts on multiple social and biophysical systems, including population health, coastal ... -
Climate Change, Ambient Ozone, and Health in 50 US Cities
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2007)We investigated how climate change could affect ambient ozone concentrations and the subsequent human health impacts. Hourly concentrations were estimated for 50 eastern US cities for five representative summers each in ... -
Estimating the Effects of Increased Urbanization on Surface Meteorology and Ozone Concentrations in the New York City Metropolitan Region
(Elsevier BV, 2007)Land use and pollutant emission changes can have significant impacts on air quality, regional climate, and human health. Here we describe a modeling study aimed at quantifying the potential effects of extensive changes in ... -
French engineers and social thought, 18–20th centuries: An archeology of technocratic ideals.
(Taylor and Francis, 2007)During the second half of the twentieth century, at the time of the foundation of the Fifth Republic, French engineers endorsed enthusiastically technocratic ideals. Their attitude was not only the product of a specific ...
