Wetland restoration design modifications to mitigate climate change impacts at Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area: A case study report

Historic temperature and precipitation trends, and their projected climate change effects, were used to inform the development of wetland design tactics to restore a 30-acre degraded wetland at Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. The adverse effects of climate change to be addressed in the restoration design include increasing average daily air temperatures, rising stream and groundwater temperatures, increasing stream erosion, increasing precipitation, and increasing lake evaporation. Specific actions or tactics were developed that provide prescriptive direction in how restoration strategies can be translated to changes in on-the-ground conditions. Traditional on-the-ground tactics are described, along with modifications to the traditional tactics that should facilitate adaptation and increase the system’s capacity to survive adverse effects of climate change

Summer 2015 Internship: Enterprise GIS Support for the National Audubon Society

From May to August 2015, I worked with the National Audubon Society as an Enterprise GIS Support Intern, under the supervision of Doreen Whitley Rogers. I assisted the department with the GIS help desk requests and supported ArcGIS users with project assistance and training. This report summarizes the structure of the organization, my role as an Enterprise GIS Support Intern and my assessment and reflection of my experience

On Gillian Rose’s critical project, and how it can be read constructively in conjunction with Michel Foucault’s method of genealogical problematisation

In this thesis I will argue that the critical project of Gillian Rose can be read constructively in conjunction with Michel Foucault’s method of genealogical problematisation. Commentators have tended to present Rose’s critical project as entailing a general challenge to the critical projects of “postmodernity”. This way of presenting Rose’s critical project, while not strictly unfounded, has raised, and continues to raise, a number of unfortunate and unnecessary borders between Rose's thought and that of many of her contemporaries. In contrast to the way commentators have tended to present Rose’s critical project, I will present it as entailing, not a general challenge to the critical projects of “postmodernity”, but a specific challenge to Foucault’s method of genealogy. By approaching Rose’s critical project in this specific way, I aim to afford an alternative reading of it – that is, a reading in which Rose’s critical project can be, in part, clarified and supported by Foucault’s method of genealogical problematisation. My hope is that by affording this alternative reading I will open Rose’s critical project up to influence, and be influenced by, number of contemporary debates surrounding the practice of criticism. Specifically, the debates surrounding the relationship between criticism and normativity, debates in which Foucault’s method of genealogy continues to play a vital part
