1 Modeling Temporal Variation in Externalities Related to Electricity Purchases for BuildingsPleve, Kaden; Smith, Amanda D.Presented at the Global Change and Sustainability Center Research Symposium
2 Statistical modeling of watershed scale evapotranspirationDhungel, 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 use2017
3 Evaluating the efficacy of regression and machine learning models to predict prehistoric land-use patternsYaworsky, PeterPredictive 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
4 How to Cut the Cost of Accurate and Reliable Surface Level Atmospheric Observations by an Order of MagnitudeDeFord, AlexisThe 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...
5 Range Creek Upland Monitoring Report, Summary of Data Collected July 12‐13, 2011Andrews, EmersonMonitoring transects were established in summer 2011 to collect baseline vegetation/ground cover data in the upland areas of Range Creek Canyon. The need for these data became apparent in spring 2011, as plans were developed to reintroduce livestock grazing to the canyon and to implement vegetation ...2011
6 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

8 Friends of Red Butte Creek Research, Outreach, and Education GrantsBowen, BrendaThe Friends of Red Butte Creek and the Global Change and Sustainability Center at the University of Utah partnered with the Salt Lake County Watershed Planning and Restoration Program to offer research, outreach and educational grants to University of Utah (UU) students and faculty to pursue action-...
9 Pilot study on how indoor environmental and physiological variables affect human thermal confortThomas, Jermy V.; Smith, Amanda D.Poster presented at GCSC Research Symposium, 2019.
10 Bonderman Field Station at Rio Mesa 2019 Bird Banding ReportThe primary purpose of our project is to understand the ecology and migratory patterns of the bird community at the Bonderman Field Station at Rio Mesa using mist-netting and bird banding.2019
11 Revitalization of Red Butte Creek: A University of Utah Asset- Phase 2 UpdateAndrews, EmersonIn the Spring 2013 semester a number of classes across campus focused on the past, present, and future of Red Butte Creek-providing insight into opportunities for University stewardship. We describe five recommendations that will enhance the University's research, education, and outreach missions an...2013
12 The Red Butte Canyon Ozone Network: leveraging existing infrastructure to probe background concentrations, canyon flows and stratospheric oxidant exchangeMitchell, Logan; Bares, Ryan; Trejo, EricaThe Salt Lake Valley (SLV) experiences frequent prolonged pollution episodes impacting the health of the ~1 million residents of the valley. These health effects include an array of respiratory and pulmonary problems, chiefly among susceptible populations and those participating in outdoor activitie...2021

17 Community cooperation and resource management: survey and experimental evidence from rural Odisha, IndiaChowdhury, Joyita RoyThis 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
18 Design of bench scale model for pressure retarded osmosisMelville, JosephThis poster is a presentation on research done to create a bench scale model for experiments in pressure retarded osmosis(PRO). Also presented is a theoretical model of the power production using PRO. It presents research done in the Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program, and was presented at ...2015-07-16
19 Poverty traps, risk and natural disasters: micro evidence from rural Odisha, IndiaChowdhury, Joyita RoyThe study examines the formal and informal risk coping mechanisms that the rural communities rely upon to protect themselves from the impacts of adverse weather shocks.2016-02-02
