Lists and annotates recurrent federal publications that contain basic statistical data on pollution levels and controls, natural resources and wildlife conservation, water resources supply and development, weather and ocean conditions, federal aid programs, and the environmental impact of energy development. It also lists continuing bibliographies…

This article describes how a number of international organizations are tackling many different problems of toxic substances in the environment. (BB)

Describes recommendations of a task force formed under the auspices of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, including more standardized procedures for collecting and evaluating environmental data. (MLH)

Investigated were the functions (particularly in meeting individual human needs) that wilderness areas serve in their undeveloped state. Undergraduate students (94) were administered four questionnaries dealing with various aspects of the rewards associated with wilderness enjoyment. Results suggest that there are valued rewards which are highly…

Explored are possible areas for application of psychometric techniques in the transportation planning process; that is, the mechanism for estimating and forecasting travel in urban areas. Described is the disaggregate, behavioral, probabilistic approach to travel demand estimation; potentials for the use of psychometric techniques are then…

In examining conditions influencing correspondence between attitude and behavior, an experiment concerning paper recycling in office buildings is described. Varied were methods of informing people about the experiment and techniques used for separating paper. Results revealed employee receptivity to any technique of separation and that receptivity…

Reports the findings of a study that documented 1992 costs of residential curbside recycling versus disposal systems in four Washington State cities: Seattle, Spokane, Bellingham, and Vancouver. Results indicated that recycling can be less expensive than disposal when the revenues obtained from selling recycled materials are considered. (MDH)

Simplicity and efficiency in design and estimation are all important in deciding on sampling strategies. A simple model is given and illustrated for four practical situations to show how a good sampling strategy should be selected. (Author)

Describes methods of designing natural resource monitoring programs to provide indications of ecosystem health, define limits of normal variation, identify abnormal conditions, and suggest potential agent of abnormal change. (MDH)

Develops a Korean environmental instruction model to encourage responsible environmental behavior. Suggests components for this model. (Author/SAH)

This paper questions the relative silence of queer theory and theorizing in environmental education research. We explore some possibilities for queering environmental education research by fabricating (and inviting colleagues to fabricate) stories of Camp Wilde, a fictional location that helps us to expose the facticity of the field's…

This article relates the different views from specialists of the scientific expedition team for the exploration of the origin of sand-dust storms. They observed and examined on-site the ecological environment of places of origin for sand-dust storms, and tried to find out causes of sand-dust storm and what harm it can cause in the hope of…

The new paradigm for student research should be articulations and collaborations with local governmental, academic, and civic entities. This will enable students to make lasting contributions to bettering their communities through scientific research, and to better understand the practical relevance of science. This article presents two such…

Disturbance-generated biomass results from endogenous and exogenous natural and cultural disturbances that affect the health and productivity of forest ecosystems. These disturbances can create large quantities of plant biomass on predictable cycles. A systems analysis model has been developed to quantify aspects of system capacities (harvest,…
