Centennial Valley corridor | Castillo-Rosado, Hector E.; Castillo, Miranda L.; O'Neil, Shanna; Keller, Annie; Haunga, Tevai | Centennial Valley, Montana is a critical migration route for wildlife between Yellowstone National Park and the Northern Rockies, which is facing threats of habitat fragmentation and degradation due to poorly planned development. We used camera traps to monitor the presence, distribution, abundance,... | 2017 |

Community cooperation and resource management: survey and experimental evidence from rural Odisha, India | Chowdhury, Joyita Roy | This study examines communal water use in rural India. It focuses on community projects that require collective action but involve strong free-rider incentives, in particular, maintaining irrigation infrastructure for local agriculture. | 2017 |

Disappearing nations | Silver, Maya | This study presents an exploration of the possible cultural impacts of climate change induced population displacement. The poster focuses on whole Pacific islands that will be become uninhabitable due to rising sea levels. Recommendations for reducing cultural erosion are included. | 2017 |

Evaluating the efficacy of regression and machine learning models to predict prehistoric land-use patterns | Yaworsky, Peter | Predictive modeling in archaeology is critical to making informed land management decisions and answering key anthropological research questions. However, archaeological predictive modeling su#30;ers from several theoretical, empirical, and analytical problems. To address these shortcomings, we buil... | 2019 |

How to Cut the Cost of Accurate and Reliable Surface Level Atmospheric Observations by an Order of Magnitude | DeFord, Alexis | The building temperature energy monitoring system (BTEMS) project addresses the need for low-cost devices to measure ambient air temperature, humidity, and surface temperature. These sets of data are key in studying heat transfer between a building and its surroundings and in increasing the area ove... | |

Public water supply: how much energy does it take? | Sowby, Robert B. | This study collected annual water use and energy use data from 109 water utilities in the United States. The effort is the first to compile a consistent dataset of city-scale water and energy observations that describes the electric loads associated with public water services. | 2017 |

Skiing for fun when life was nasty, brutish and short | Green, Matt | Historians have described pre-modern skiing as utilitarian. Few would have taken risks to experience skiing. However, I have uncovered compelling evidence that presents a mixed picture. People found inspiration and even joy in the act of gliding over the snow. | |

Statistical modeling of watershed scale evapotranspiration | Dhungel, Sulochan; Barber, Michael E. | This project develops a statistical model using estimates of evapotranspiration derived from remote sensing techniques to predict agricultural water consumption. With future climate data, this model can be used to predict future consumptive use | 2017 |
