Abstract:

The purpose of this research is to identify factors that contribute to wood fuel consumption as a space heating source and estimate a county-wide proportion for wood fuel consuming households. In addition, environmental problems associated with deforestation such as erosion and loss of wildlife habitat are delineated; moreover, air pollution resulting from wood fuel emissions are discussed. An exhaustive literature review provided the basis for the study. Data on Warren County wood fuel consumption patterns were derived from a mail survey. Proportion estimates were tested by using a classical

Abstract:

Anopheles gambiae is a major vector of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa. Given the widespread emergence of pesticide resistance in Anopheles gambiae populations, vector control programs involving the release of sterile males or genetically-modified male mosquitoes designed to diminish malaria transmission are eliciting renewed interest. The success of such mosquito release projects depends on the ability of released males to effectively mate and transfer sperm to wild females. Here, firstly we investigated the interactive effect of the environmental factor hydric stress and adult mosquito phenoty

Abstract:

This thesis assesses the importance of the interplay between affect and experience in human-natural-environment relationships. More specifically, using both qualitative and quantitative methodologies, it addresses the argument that experience of the natural environment promotes both affective well-being and positive environmental attitudes. The first study (N = 199), using an application of the theory of planned behaviour, demonstrates the importance of affective connection in predicting peoples' intentions to engage with the natural environment, as well as suggesting that early exposure to th

Abstract:

Within the space of a few decades, young people's understandings and experiences of nature have changed radically. Today, many young people are aware of the global threats to the environment - but their physical contact, their intimacy with nature, is diminishing, leading it is argued to a "nature deficit disorder". In order to minimise the risk of nature deficit disorder, this study seeks to understand how behaviour change models, innovative environmental education approaches, and an ethic of care may influence young people's environmentally caring behaviours.

Abstract:

Fluxes of carbon dioxide (CO2), being a major greenhouse gas, are of great importance to understand and monitor. Findings have shown that while CO2 emissions enhanced by humans triggered the greenhouse gas effect, several significant CO2 fluxes in nature that are climate sensitive may still be poorly constrained, especially those from inland waters and its surrounding soils and sediments. This including different processes such as decomposers degrading organic material. At present, direct measurements of CO2 from soils, waters or CO2 concentrations in surface water, are typically labour intens

Extreme heat events are the deadliest natural hazard in the United States and will continue to get worse in the coming years due to the effects of climate change. As a result, more people will experience deadly heat conditions. This highlights the need for decision-makers to develop better strategies for preventing future losses. How badly individuals are affected by extreme heat depends on many circumstances, such as how high temperatures actually are, weather conditions, and location.
