Abstract:
AbstractConservation easements are the fastest growing private conservation strategy in the United States. However, mechanisms to assess private land conservation as well as their support by the general public are not well understood. This study uses the ecosystem services framework for assessing existing private lands in Idaho and identifies areas for future conservation easements. Using conservation targets of the land trust as a guide for selecting ecosystem services, we (a) mapped the spatial delivery of conservation targets across public and private lands, (b) explored public awareness in terms of social importance and vulnerability, and (c) mapped future priority areas by characterizing conservation bundles. We found that public lands provided the highest levels of conservation targets, and we found no difference in conservation target provision between private areas and conservation easements. The spatial characterization of conservation target bundles identified potential future priority areas for conservation easements, which can guide planning of land trust conservation efforts.

Abstract:
Abstract Introduction Despite the rich history and progression of mental health assets and their utilization within the Marine Corps, the implementation of these assets has been varied and inconsistent. This article strives to take the lessons learned from the past and improve on them. The goal is to develop a consistent program focused on resiliency and retention, and propose an integrated organized structure across all the Marine Expeditionary Forces (MEF). Means and Methods Review of the literature, current practices, and future recommendations. Results This article demonstrates that continuing to utilize mental health resources at the Regimental level with a focus on community mental health principles rather than the medical model allows for proximity to members and leadership of their primary command, immediate access to them as their Special Staff Officer, the ability to set the expectation of recovery, resiliency, and readiness, and the capability to implement simple principles of nonmedical recuperation and advisement. Conclusions Improving on the organizational structure of mental health in the Marine Corps by placing a mental health Special Staff Officer at the MEF level and focusing on the principles of community mental health will shift the focus back to the primary and secondary prevention care efforts across all levels of the Marine Corps and provide clinical and leadership oversight as it relates to the philosophy, role, and implementation of organic mental health Officers.

Abstract:
AbstractIntroductionThe purpose of the cross-sectional study was to explore the relationships between occupational and general-self efficacy, and perceived preparedness among Commissioned Corps officers in the United States Public Health Service (Commissioned Corps). Commissioned Corps officers fight to protect the United States from diseases and care for the survivors of natural disasters and terrorist attacks. Commissioned Corps officers play a vital role in the fight to protect the United States from diseases and care for the survivors of natural disasters and terrorist attacks. The Commissioned Corps provided healthcare services in Liberia during the 2014 Ebola crisis that underscored the challenges of emerging diseases in a globalized community. It is imperative that these health professionals maintain a high level of self-efficacy and feel confident in their overall preparedness training as they respond to public health emergencies.Materials and MethodsThis study used assessment instruments derived from Albert Bandura’s concept of self-efficacy to analyze the occupational and general self-efficacy, and perceived preparedness levels of health services officers in the Commissioned Corps. 82 Commissioned Corps officers completed the assessment survey. To date, no study has examined the relationship between these constructs in this population.ResultsThere was a statistically significant relationship between feeling confident in one’s Commissioned Corps training and perceived preparedness (rs = 0.55, p < 0.001).ConclusionThis study reflects the training perceptions and self-beliefs of Commissioned Corps officers, fills an important gap in the empirical research in this population, and advances previous investigations, which suffered from an underrepresentation of female service members.

Abstract:
Using woody biomass from public lands could attract private investments, increase carbon dioxide emission reductions from sustainably harvested low-grade wood to mitigate climate change, provide benefits for the environment, and support rural community economies. Available for use are about 210 million oven dry tons (in the western U.S. alone) of small-diameter wood and harvest residues that could be removed through hazard-fuel treatments and used for bioenergy and bioproducts; representing an economic value of approximately USD 5.97 billion (109). Reaching that utilization goal requires an assessment of current U.S. policies, regulations and directives influencing the use of forest biomass and identification of barriers, challenges, and potential opportunities associated with the use of woody biomass from public lands. One objective of this review is to support the implementation of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service (USDA-FS) new effort called “Confronting the Wildfire Crisis: A Strategy for Protecting Communities and Improving Resilience in America’s Forests”, but greater coordination of public policies (regulatory legislation, government subsidies, support programs) at different government levels could increase adoption of forest biomass for bioenergy and bioproducts while also promoting different supply chains for long-term biomass supplies and industry investments. Harmonizing the definition of key biomass terms used by different programs that support using forest biomass for bioenergy and other bioproducts, including the Renewable Fuel Standard, may increase forest biomass use from public lands.

Abstract:
Using survey data and interviews, this study examines Panamanian attitudes toward the United States and toward the central issues in US.- Panama relations. It also compares Panamanian attitudes with opinions toward the United States in the rest of Central America. The study finds that nationalism, system support, anticommunism, and, for the mass public, ideology are the most important variables in determining support for the United States. Elites are more nationalistic and less accommodationist toward the United States than the mass public. Concern about the politicization and misuse of the Panama Canal and adjacent lands has led many in the general public to support a continued US. military presence on the Isthmus of Panama.

Full text
Abstract:
President Clinton created Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument on September 17, 1996. The Antiquities Act of 1906 gives the president power to establish national monuments on public lands through presidential proclamation. The Act has been used to create national monuments in places such as Muir Woods, Grand Canyon, Mount Olympus, Jackson Hole, and the 1978 Alaskan d-2 lands. Its use has also produced negative public response, manifested as demonstrations, lawsuits, and congressional bills. In spite of significant legal and legislative challenges, the Antiquities Act and most of the monuments established through its use remain. The negative public response to the Act and the monuments has not been able to dissuade presidents from using executive authority. In each of the controversial cases the scope of the Antiquities Act was expanded in regards to the values being protected, monument size, or land use. The public had little influence in reversing that expansion. The Antiquities Act was designed as a tool to provide protection to threatened lands. It has protected federal lands, and in many cases the national interest. The historic and scientific values of once controversial monuments such as the Grand Canyon, Muir Woods Mount Olympus, Jackson Hole, and the d-2 lands, are now indisputable. These monuments have evolved to represent part of our natural national heritage. Only time will tell if the same can be said for Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.

Abstract:
Over the last decade, the Marine Corps has capitalized on the advantages of the Internet by increasingly using the NIPRNET for electronic operations and communications. The Marine Corps wants to further leverage the capabilities of the Internet by moving more applications to the NIPRNET, however, security threats have restricted the type of information that can be exchanged across public networks. The Internet's open design enables message interception, monitoring and forgery; therefore, the Marine Corps is reluctant to use the Internet for transmitting sensitive information. Public key cryptography is becoming the foundation for electronic operations that require security and authentication in open networks. The use of public key cryptography requires a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to publish and manage public key values. The objective of a PKI is to provide authentication, confidentiality, integrity and non-repudiation of data. In conjunction with DoD PKI development efforts, the Marine Corps will develop and implement PKI services to protected information currently exchanged across the Internet and to enable the use of automated applications. This thesis begins by describing public key cryptography, the requirements for a PKI, and the components necessary to operate a PKI. Next, a preliminary USMC PKI roadmap is developed, including objectives and strategies for Marine Corps implementation efforts. Supporting material describes design issues, such as scalability and interoperability, and technical challenges, such as directories, key escrow, and smart cards. Finally, change management approaches are discussed, emphasizing unique cultural and organizational requirements for mitigating resistance to a Marine Corps PKI implementation.

Abstract:
CHDS State/Local
The Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) was formed to provide a cadre of trained medical volunteers to support and strengthen the public health infrastructure and improve its' emergency preparedness level. Training policies and standards are left to the discretion of the local MRC coordinator so the program maintains its flexibility to meet community needs. Training varies from unit to unit, and there are no protocols in place to measure or evaluate the effectiveness of that training. According to recent studies and surveys, disaster operations are an unfamiliar role for most MRC volunteers and the public health workforce in general. Evidence also suggests that few medical and public health workers receive this important preparedness training. In 2005, MRC working group members developed a list of core competency recommendations to provide training guidance, but specific educational content to satisfy those competencies were not defined. This thesis offers specific training content guidelines and strategies for achieving competency. The MRC must be able to integrate into the disaster environment while working safely, effectively and efficiently. Standards will set the mark for success, enabling the MRC to respond in a coordinated manner and at a consistently higher level to any public health emergency.

Abstract:
Wilderness preservation has been at the center of debates about public land policy for almost half a century, and nowhere has the controversy been more intractable than in Utah. Despite its vast expanses of unsetded and undeveloped red rock desert, managed primarily by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Utah has less designated wilderness than in any other state in the West. In this study, I focus on San Juan County in southeast Utah to study the conflict over the designation of wilderness. The controversy pits local residents and state politicians against state and national environmental groups, with the BLM shifting positions in between. I analyze and interpret the wilderness debate from three different perspectives. The fIrst explores the history of the Utah wilderness debate from the first BLM wilderness inventory in the 1970's through its re-inventory in the 1990's. I examine the influence of national, regional, and local forces such as institutional change within the BLM, in-fIghting among Utah-based environmental interest groups, and the sagebrush rebellion and county supremacy movements. The second perspective incorporates the spatial analytical techniques of geographical information systems to provide a relatively objective view of landscape characteristics used to defIne wilderness. I interpret the landscape as a continuum of varying degrees of wildness, a product of inherent naturalness and the influences of human impacts. Lastly, I examine the personal views of the meaning of wilderness through the words of actual participants in the debate. In an analysis of the statements of both county residents as well as the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, I explore the mental images and ideas that influence the ways in which people value and understand the desert environment.

Abstract:
Thesis Summary: Public land management in the United States is primarily a function of the United States Federal Government, with roughly ninety-five percent of America's public lands owned by the American people and intensely managed by America's federal government. Within Australia this trend is reversed, with Australia's states administering the vast majority of Australia's non-alienated common lands under noticeably less public, government and judicial scrutiny than occurs in the United States. The focus of this thesis is to explain why the United States developed primarily a national approach to public land management, while Australia's government lands are mainly managed at the state level and to illustrate the aftermath of these differences. Methods: This thesis will concentrate upon critical historical events, including similarities and differences in colonial and post-American Revolution land policies, constitutional provision, modern case law, and notable judicial decisions. Australia's state land policies will be revealed for strictly comparative purposes to demonstrate the importance of America's national land policies to public land conservation. Written and/or phone inquiries were conducted with each of Australia's state/territorial land administrative agencies and the Australian National Parks and Wildlife Service. Similar inquiries were conducted with public land administration agencies within the United States, including the National Parks Service, National Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and the Arkansas Department of Parks. Historical references were obtained from the Tasmania University Library; Tasmania State Library; Saint Paul [Minnesota], Milwaukee [Wisconsin]. and Boston [Massachusetts] public libraries; as well as the university libraries of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Sydney, and Melbourne. Having traveled extensively throughout Australia as an environmental studies and aboriginal anthropology student at Sydney University in 1985, an extended dedication has been included to demonstrate that Native American and Native Australian civilizations declined because of land polices that encouraged genocide and displaced native people from their ancestral lands. Conclusions: The United States developed a national approach to public land management because of unanimous, early agreement among America's states; early governing land laws that solidified the constitutional, national land powers of the United States Congress; prodevelopment and later pro-conservation land philosophies; and important presidential initiatives in conservation. The aftermath of a national approach resulted in the United States Government securing 'true' national lands, while nationalism and romanticism succeeded in greatly furthering legalized land conservation. These factors may be illustrated by comparing America's national land policies to Australia's largely state administered land policies through differences in public land tenure, historic land policy, land law development, and executive and congressional initative.

Abstract:
How did the federal government end up with title to a quarter of the land in a nation with a long-standing distrust of government power, a corresponding faith in individual enterprise, and democratic institutions designed to make government policies reflect its will? While explanation is not justification, an account of their evolution can help make some sense of current federal land policies. In this chapter, I outline the history of federal lands and the shape of the current management regime, indicating what agencies are responsible for what lands under what statutory charters. Readers familiar with these topics will find nothing new here and may wish to skip to the concluding observations. The federal government got into the real-estate business early on. Through a political compromise between the original states, it acquired the old “western lands” between the Appalachians and the Mississippi. During the colonial period, England had rather imprecisely divided the land it claimed in America among its colonies. Charters granted extensive lands beyond the Appalachians to some colonies, sometimes the same lands to different colonies. Connecticut and Massachusetts, for example, claimed the same 26 million acres in the old Northwest (north of the Ohio River, west of the Appalachians). England revoked some of these grants in 1774, but colonies thereby severed from their western lands regarded the War of Independence as a means to regain what had been theirs. States with no historical claims to press wanted to share in what they considered war booty “wrested from the common enemy by the blood and treasure of the thirteen states.” They proposed that the western lands be surrendered to the federal government “to be disposed of for the common good of the United States.” Maryland feared that otherwise it would have to make good on promises of land in exchange for service in the Revolution that the Continental Congress had made to Maryland troops. For the same reason, the national government, such as it was, promoted state cession of western lands: nobody relished the prospect of angry veterans marching on Congress to demand the land they’d been promised.

Abstract:
This chapter presents ongoing challenges in public land policy. Climate change is a significant concern here, as it alters natural qualities that were a primary reason why the United States decided to retain or acquire certain pieces of land. Closely related to the climate challenge are grave threats to biodiversity. The chapter also considers the exponential growth of the recreational use of public lands. Meanwhile, extractive uses on public lands have diminished sharply in importance. Indeed, public lands are responsible for a declining share of petroleum exploration and development in the nation. And even though public lands are vast, the cost of managing them is extremely small when measured against other demands on the federal treasury.

Abstract:
This chapter shows how Theodore Roosevelt set in motion a fundamental reevaluation of U.S. public land policy in relation to energy development. In at least one respect, his impact in this area was even greater. The movement to reserve forests was well under way before he took office; Roosevelt just accelerated it. The same was true, though to a lesser extent, regarding the movement to use public lands to protect wildlife. But the idea that the United States should retain ownership of energy resources found on public lands in order to control and guide their development, a policy he strongly advocated, was almost entirely new. By the time Roosevelt took office, it was becoming increasingly clear that each of the pertinent legal regimes on public lands—the Coal Land Law, the Mining Law, and a hodgepodge of others—contained features that were fundamentally incompatible with orderly, efficient energy development.

This chapter considers lands under the “public domain.” These were lands acquired from state cessions, foreign governments, and Indian tribes. When the U.S. government acted to keep ownership of those lands, it did so by what came to be known as “reservations” or, sometimes, “withdrawals.” The terminology reflected the general understanding in public land policy before the Civil War that the “public domain” was available for divestment unless and until lands were “reserved” or “withdrawn.” Lands that the United States later came to own by donation or purchase, which would simply be known as “acquired” lands, were not considered part of the public domain and were not subject to divestment laws unless Congress specifically directed it. Reservations and acquisitions made before the Civil War were also much smaller than ones made later, but they show how, practically from the nation's beginning, Congress found it appropriate to hold some lands in public ownership in order to serve specific objectives. Those objectives changed as the nation's territory and population increased and its economy and culture evolved.

Abstract:
This chapter provides brief overviews on the history and current health status of the Indigenous Peoples living on the lands now occupied by the United States (US). These lands are now known as contiguous 48 US states on the North American continent, Alaska, Hawai'i, and the US-Affiliated Pacific Islands, including American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau. These histories have negatively affected the social determinants of health of Indigenous communities, and this has resulted in health disparities. This background is important for appreciating the resilience of Indigenous populations as they continue to confront and overcome issues embedded in horrific historical events.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses the future of the remaining unreserved public lands. The pace of privatization steadily dwindled throughout the 1920s. During that same period, numerous dryland farmers and small ranching enterprises went bust, victims of low commodity prices, drought, or both. Some of their land was acquired by larger operators, but a good deal of it was eventually reacquired by the United States. These lands thus became the focus of numerous conflicting interests, such as homesteading, mining, livestock grazing, and even outdoor recreation. The chapter looks into the debates surrounding these unreserved public lands. It also deals with the Garfield Committee, a gathering organized for the purpose of the conservation and administration of unreserved public lands.

Abstract:
This chapter addresses public land acquisition as more territory became part of the United States after the 1780s. Initially, lands not already privately owned within their borders were considered as having been directly ceded without passing through U.S. ownership. The admission of Tennessee in 1796 as the sixteenth state was much more complicated, however. Tennessee's brash claim to own all the public land within its borders helped persuade Congress that it should more clearly address public lands in subsequent statehood-enabling acts, beginning with the admission of the seventeenth state, Ohio, in 1803. That act's chief architect was one of the most influential figures in early public land policy, Treasury secretary Albert Gallatin. The chapter also addresses land claims from Native American and non-Native sovereigns.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT In the midst of aggressive anti-drilling campaigns by environmental organizations and well-publicized complaints by citizens unaccustomed to oil and gas operations, rigorous studies of unconventional oil and gas development show that there are no widespread or systemic impacts on drinking water resources in the United States. In addition, air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions have significantly declined with the growth in natural gas production and its use in power generation. Furthermore, induced seismicity from subsurface waste disposal has plummeted in response to industry initiatives and new regulations. This record of environmental protection reflects the fact that U.S. hydraulic fracturing, like other oil and gas operations, is highly regulated by the states. In addition, air emissions, operations on federal lands, and subsurface injection are subject to federal regulation. Academic and government researchers have documented that chemicals and gas produced by hydraulic fracturing are not contaminating drinking water. However, as an added complication, methane occurs naturally in drinking water aquifers in some producing areas. In 2015, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) completed a four-year study of potential aquifer contamination from hydraulic fracturing and associated industry operations. The report found some impacts on drinking water including contamination of drinking water wells; however, the number of cases was small compared to the number of wells hydraulically fractured. The scientific peer-review and public critique of the study, which continues after more than a year, may recommend additional research. The emotionally charged, anti-fracking campaigns provided important lessons to U.S. operators: pre-drilling, baseline data on water and air quality are essential to answering public concerns; infrastructure issues such as increased truck traffic on small, local roads are important to residents; and the initial failure to disclose the composition of hydraulic fracturing fluid intensified public concern.

Abstract:
Abstract The United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) supports a number of local community initiatives to encourage public involvement in decisions regarding environmental waste management and remediation. Native American tribal communities, in most cases, operate as sovereign nations, and thus have jurisdiction over environmental management on their lands. This paper provides examples of initiatives addressing Native American concerns about past radioactive waste management practices — one addresses uranium mining wastes in the Western United States and the other, environmental contamination in Alaska. These two projects involve the community in radioactive waste management decision-making by encouraging them to articulate their concerns and observations; soliciting their recommended solutions; and facilitating leadership within the community by involving local tribal governments, individuals, scientists and educators in the project. Frequently, a community organization, such as a local college or Native American organization, is selected to manage the project due to their cultural knowledge and acceptance within the community. It should be noted that U.S. EPA, consistent with Federal requirements, respects Indian tribal self-government and supports tribal sovereignty and self-determination. For this reason, in the projects and initiatives described in the presentation, the U.S. EPA is involved at the behest and approval of Native American tribal governments and community organizations. Objectives of the activities described in this presentation are to equip Native American communities with the skills and resources to assess and resolve environmental problems on their lands. Some of the key outcomes of these projects include: • Training teachers of Navajo Indian students to provide lessons about radiation and uranium mining in their communities. Teachers will use problem-based education, which allows students to connect the subject of learning with real-world issues and concerns of their community. Teachers are encouraged to utilize members of the community and to conduct field trips to make the material as relevant to the students. • Creating an interactive database that combines scientific and technical data from peer-reviewed literature along with complementary Native American community environmental observations. • Developing educational materials that meet the national science standards for education and also incorporate Native American culture, language, and history. The use of both Native American and Western (Euro-American) educational concepts serve to reinforce learning and support cultural identity. The two projects adopt approaches that are tailored to encourage the participation of, and leadership from, Native American communities to guide environmental waste management and remediation on their lands. These initiatives are consistent with the government-to-government relationship between Native American tribes and the U.S. government and support the principle that tribes are empowered to exercise their own decision-making authority with respect to their lands.

Abstract:
The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is responsible for stewardship of approximately 12.5 million acres across the United States. USACE’s Environmental Stewardship program mission is to protect, preserve, and restore significant ecological resources on USACE project lands. Since the early 2000s, non-native and invasive Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) has killed hundreds of millions of ash trees in the US, becoming the most destructive and costly invasive forest insect in North America. This research effort estimates the cost of managing EAB damage to USACE projects including treatment, removal, or removal and replacement of dying/dead ash trees. The results suggest potential impact to more than 122,800 USACE project acres in currently infested counties including 181,000 ash trees. While not all damaged trees require removal, many USACE recreation sites have ash trees that pose an increased risk to humans and structures thus requiring removal of EAB infected trees. The widespread and pervasive impacts of EAB will have significant costs associated with removal and replacement of ash trees that could be hazardous to recreational users at the projects. Data from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) database, and methods developed by Kovacs et al. (2010) were utilized to calculate yearly present value costs of EAB to USACE projects from 2006-2026. Overall EAB impacts are estimated at $121.6 million across 201 USACE projects evaluated in this study. Increased efforts to limit EAB spread and perform measures of control are warranted to reduce potential cost to USACE.
