79 Modeling of thermal storage tank for heat recovery applicationsRahman, AowabinPresented at the GCSC (Global Change and Sustainability Center) Research Symposium. The goal of this research was to develop a mathematical model of a stratified thermal storage tank containing stationary fluid with hot and cold heat exchangers.The model could be used as a screening tool to allow b...2016-02-02
80 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
81 Green living guideThe University of Utah is proud to be a leader in sustainability. The Wasatch Mountains are a constant reminder that we should all be good environmental stewards. If everyone does a little, we can achieve a lot! The University of Utah signed the American College and University President's Climate Co...2016-08

83 How does climate change affect combined sewer overflow in a system benefiting from rainwater harvesting systems?Tavakol-Davani, Hessam; Goharian, Erfan; Hansen, Carly H.; Tavakol-Davani, Hassan; Apul, Defne; Burian, Steven J.Variability in precipitation caused by climate change can have a large impact on the performance of a water system, and therefore is an important input in hydrologic modeling. As part of a Long Term Control Plan, a model was developed in the US Storm Water Management Model based on data from the Cit...2017
84 Centennial Valley corridorCastillo-Rosado, Hector E.; Castillo, Miranda L.; O'Neil, Shanna; Keller, Annie; Haunga, TevaiCentennial 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
85 Disappearing nationsSilver, MayaThis 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
86 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
87 Modeling of thermal storage tank for heat recovery applicationsRahman, Aowabin; Fumo, Nelson; Smith, Amanda D.The goal of this research was to develop a mathematical model of a stratified thermal storage tank, which could be used as a screening tool to allow building designers and owners to determine size and configuration of a storage tank for operation with a distributed generation system.2017
88 Wind farm density and harvested power in very large wind farms: a low-order modelCortina, Gerard; Calaf, MarcThis project aims to develop a simplistic numerical model to determine the number of wind turbines that should be placed given a land extension, in order to maximize the power output as a function of different atmospheric stabilities2017
89 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
90 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

93 Lost in the Crowd? Ridesharing with Zimride at the University of Utah2017
94 Can urbanization level of a place act as a predictor for water saving behavior?Tagore, Pratiti; Hinners, SarahUtah has the third highest per capita water use and is the second driest state in the United States. Understanding outdoor watering and adaptation of water saving behavior across an urban-rural gradient is the objective of this research.2017
95 The Beehive State: an intrastate passenger rail system for Utah using existing Union Pacific tracksChristensen, MikeThis study will examine the feasibility of establishing passenger rail routes within Utah, which would run on existing Union Pacific tracks2017

97 Management of dissolved methane from anaerobic effluentsGupta, VedanshAnaerobic digesters in wastewater treatment plants discharge dissolved methane, which usually stripped off to the environment on subsequent handling leading to GHG emission and loss of an energy source. To prevent the emission of methane gas, we utilized a packed bed column as a post-treatment biolo...2018-02
98 The marginal value of inequalityWilson, Kurt M.The emergence of hereditary inequality is one of the most impactful events in the course of human history. However the ecological conditions and individual decisions fostering emergence remain poorly understood. Particularly lacking is examination of non-elite individual decisions. Behavioral eco...2018-02
99 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
