Abstract:
When comparing states with population percentages residing in major cities, Nevada is considered the third most urban state in the nation. It also has the distinction of being the driest, with less than 4 inches of precipitation annually in the Las Vegas Valley. Nevada is using 280,000 acre-feet of water from its 300,000 acre-feet allotment from the Colorado River annually. Approximately 60% of this is used for urban landscaping. With average water use at >300 gallons per person per day in the past, Las Vegans have been criticized as “water-wasters.” Rising water prices and an active research and extension education program begun in 1985 and supported by the local water utility has helped to contribute to changing water use patterns and a reduction in water use. Research, educational programs for commercial landscapers, and home horticulture programs conducted through Master Gardeners have helped to reduce water use in the Las Vegas Valley while providing information on sound horticultural practices.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Aedes aegypti is the primary vector for serious diseases, including those caused by chikungunya, dengue, and Zika viruses. In 2017, the Southern Nevada Health District first detected this invasive species in Clark County, NV, including in the city of Las Vegas. We analyzed Ae. aegypti from the city of North Las Vegas to determine the likely source of the invasion. We genotyped a sample of Ae. aegypti at 12 highly variable microsatellites and analyzed the data in reference to published data from 25 sites in the southern USA. We found that the Ae. aegypti in Las Vegas most likely invaded from southern California. Knowing the source of new invasions may provide information about the invading population (e.g., previous insecticide exposure) and can help prevent future invasions from the region.

Abstract:
Project Neon, a design-build (D-B) highway construction project in Las Vegas, Nevada, is the largest public works project in Nevada history. The project widened 3.7 miles of Interstate 15 (I-15) between Sahara Avenue and what is referred to as the "Spaghetti Bowl" interchange in downtown Las Vegas. This stretch of I-15 is the busiest stretch of highway in Nevada carrying approximately 300,000 vehicles daily. Noise impacts were identified in the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the project that would be abated by constructing noise barriers. The EIS noise barriers were conceptual and were substantially refined during the D-B effort to provide the noise reductions committed to in the EIS. This paper describes some of the challenges with implementing the abatement measures into the design and lessons learned from this process.

Abstract:
My work explores hallucinatory landscapes of the US American West by using a combination of painting styles outside of the Western painting canon. I cross-reference painting and cinema, interweaving video, acrylic paint and the panorama to create a satirical homage to the history and present state of the USA. However, through an earnest devotion to the medium - both painting and cinema - I find my criticisms also yearn to hold onto a belief in a myth I know to be false. This is an American History conversation about artifice and consumerism through advertising. I use Las Vegas and the Mojave Desert as my metaphor. Las Vegas’ rapidly expanding population has displaced actual plants and animals to replace them with artificial sculptures of the desert cactus and coyote. This desert landscape occupies what was previously Mexico and before that Indigenous lands. TV and hallucinogens play a part in my work - as a means to tap into the psychological staticky holiness of the desert, and I use certain painting techniques to mimic the optical effects of these phenomena. These techniques reference my experience with theater backdrop painting and psychedelic movie posters as well as kitsch hobbyist landscape painting. My focus is the specific territory outside of the National Parks service, the government lands leased to mining companies and housing developers. These are the mystical desert tracts of spacious landscape, just as ecologically important to the whole, yet considered “not quite pretty enough” to warrant a National Park sign or roaming ranger.

Abstract:
This paper evaluates the historical growth of the Las Vegas Wash, its subsequent degradation, and the current efforts to restore and stabilize its channel. The Las Vegas Valley Metropolitan Area is located in the Mohave Desert in a drainage basin surrounded by mountain ranges. This drainage basin and its dynamic system of stream channels constitute the Las Vegas Watershed in which the Wash is located. The condition of the Las Vegas Wash is unique, as is a perennial stream that evolved from an ephemeral wash in response to the rapid urbanization and subsequent production of treated wastewater input into the stream channel. The situation has created a series of wetland ecosystems along the Wash, and valuable riparian habitat in such an arid environment. The Wash and its associated wetlands system provide a variety of ecological services to the city of Las Vegas, including storm water conveyance, wastewater effluent filtration, flood protection, and a green space for residents to enjoy. However, continuous increase in volume and intensity of the stream flow has resulted in severe channel degradation and bank erosion in numerous locations along the stream channel. After an examination of the historic and present-day conditions of the Wash and its restoration activities, this essay suggests that future evaluations of the Las Vegas Wash case study may provide evidence to support the propagation of collaborative management efforts.

Abstract:
The approximately 1000-km² Las Vegas Valley contains a rich assemblage of unique plant communities in the eastern Mojave Desert. Yet, there is little published documentation of this vegetation as its destruction continues with proceeding urban development. Development has intensified after the 1998 Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act mandated the disposal of federal lands. We document plant communities at four unique grassy remnants, some of which have since been destroyed, in the southwestern Las Vegas Valley. Sample plots of 0.25 or 0.09 ha at each site contained washes (supporting catclaw [Acacia greggii] at three sites) and associated uplands. Native perennial grasses comprised 12% of plant species richness/100 m2 and 5% of total relative cover on average. A total of 8 native perennial grasses were detected at the four sites, with predominant species including fluff grass (Dasyochloa pulchella), purple three-awn (Aristida purpurea), big galleta (Pleuraphis rigida), red grama (Bouteloua trifida), and slim tridens (Tridens muticus). These communities appeared as grass-shrublands, rather than the widespread shrublands commonly described for the Mojave Desert. Of large shrubs at the three sites containing catclaw, catclaw density ranged from 52-124/ha, Mojave yucca (Yucca schidigera) from 8-32/ha, and creosote bush (Larrea tridentata) from 168-456/ha. We also obtained permission to salvage native plants from one site prior to land development. Overall survival of salvaged plants of eight species exceeded 76% after one year of greenhouse/outdoor storage. We suggest that while many opportunities have already been lost, collecting and documenting information on the rich vegetation of the Las Vegas Valley and salvaging native plants or seed for use in desert landscaping, parks and habitat improvement in protected areas would leave a future legacy of this ecologically unique region.

Abstract:
From the Proceedings of the 1989 Meetings of the Arizona Section - American Water Resources Association and the Hydrology Section - Arizona-Nevada Academy of Science - April 15, 1989, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Nevada
The prehistoric Indian population in Las Vegas Valley found abundant water for their needs from springs flowing from the base of numerous fault scarps throughout the valley. The faults are generally considered to be compaction faults caused in part by subsidence resulting from dewatering aquifers as the climate became dry and warm during the interglacial periods of the Pleistocene. The valley's aquifers, for historical purposes, eventually reached steady state conditions which lasted through nearly the first half of this century. Urban growth then created a demand for water that was satisfied by overdrafting the ground-water system, which reactivated subsidence. Today, subsidence effects cover about 1,000-1,300 km² of the valley and the maximum vertical displacement is about 1.5 m. As the demand for water continued to increase with population, large imports from the Colorado River via Lake Mead provided abundant water, which helped create additional hazards: a rising shallow water table, resulting from over irrigating landscapes (secondary recharge), intersects land surface in places in the central and eastern part of the valley creating a hazard to structures and facilities; the potential increases in liquefaction; and, the potential for degradation of the deep aquifers from downward percolation of the poorer quality water from the shallow system.

Abstract:
This collection of work contains poems that are attempting to reach a sense of understanding about the past in regard to place, landscape, architecture, and memory in relation to the self--the speaker, the self-imposed I. The perception of memory, and in particular the prevalence of false memories surrounding place and person are of major concern in this collection, along with the historical and personal narratives moving out of a voice rooted in the Mojave Desert, and in particular, Las Vegas, Nevada. These poems are working through the speaker’s complicated relationship with the desert, and the erosion of place, of home. These poems are an effort to recognize what it means to learn from the desert, to learn from Las Vegas.

Abstract:
The controversy over siting a high-level radioactive waste repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, has engaged the southern Nevada community in recent years. This high-profile project has brought a critical eye on other environmental management activities, especially in the neighboring Nevada Test Site. Although radioactive waste management activities have been ongoing at the Nevada Test Site for over 40 years, there is renewed scrutiny on these activities and there is a growing community interest in pursuing alternative waste management strategies. This paper reviews the active role that the University of Nevada, Las Vegas has played in promoting public awareness, understanding, and participation.

Abstract:
The National Park Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the USDA Forest Service governmental agencies in southern Nevada have collaborated with the Center for Energy Research at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas to explore the feasibility of becoming energy neutral by 2010. The three federal agencies have set a goal to offset their combined annual energy demand (currently supplied by local utility companies) with an equal amount of power produced by renewable energy sources. The study results indicate that the three federal agencies above consume just over 3,000 megawatt-hours of electrical energy per year in and around the Las Vegas Valley. Upon researching various types of renewable energy, it was determined that wind, geothermal, and biomass technologies either failed to have sufficient resources available in southern Nevada or conflicted with the resource management philosophies of the federal agencies. Solar energy is the most abundant feasible source of renewable energy within the study area, and it was determined that a 1.5 megawatt fixed photovoltaic (PV) system is best suited for this project.

Abstract:
University of Nevada, Las Vegas Renewable Energy Center (UNLV-REC) currently monitors three meteorological stations in southern Nevada under the direction of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and is funded by the Nevada Southwest Energy Partnership (NSWEP). The three station locations are Eldorado Valley, UNLV-REC Solar Site, and Nevada Power Company Clark Station. The installation dates for each of the locations were October of 2004 for Eldorado Valley station, August of 2003 for the UNLV-REC Solar Site, and March of 2006 for the Nevada Power Clark Station. Publicly available data from each site have been archived since installation completion. This paper discusses the installation of the equipment for each site and images of the setup. The data that is being collected between the sites is also compared. Data comparisons between the sites include net monthly solar energy; monthly peak direct normal irradiance (DNI), average daily wind speed, monthly wind roses, and average monthly dry bulb temperatures. The recently measured data is also compared to resource maps developed by NREL and to TMY data. With these meteorological resources, microclimatic variations can be studied for the area and used as a renewable energy resource for renewable installations in southern Nevada.

Abstract:
Pulte Homes, a production home builder and community developer partnering with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Building America program, has collaborated with the Center for Energy Research at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and NV Energy, the local electric utility, on an energy conservation project in the Las Vegas Valley. This study entails four model homes at a new development named Villa Trieste, located in the Summerlin community of Las Vegas. The models, ranging in floor plan area from 1,487 to 1,777 square feet, have been constructed under the Environments for Living program and have been platinum certified by LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) for Homes. According to the Home Energy Rating System Index, all four models are over 50% more efficient than homes of equal size built to 2006 International Energy Conservation Code standards. The study focuses on the cost benefit of installing additional efficiency upgrades in future homes at the development. Though all proposed upgrades offer reductions in energy use, many offer little improvement relative to their installation costs. Higher-efficiency windows, heat recovery ventilators, and R-36 spray foam attic insulation have been deemed appropriate measures for future homes. All homes are to be equipped with photovoltaic arrays; increasing the size of the arrays will cost-effectively reduce net energy consumption.
