description: California's beaches are iconic, highly valued spaces that provide many co-benefits to our communities, economies, and coastal ecosystems.The vulnerability of our beaches to climate change and need for viable adaptation strategies is stated in many state policies. Nature-based Solutions (NbS) using beach and dune restoration have been implemented at multiple sites statewide. Projects vary in extent, design and purpose and many are not fully informed by current science on beach-dune geomorphology, ecology, coastal hazards or future forecasts. We are a team of scientists, practitioners and land managers with expertise and experience with restoration projects that span the diversity of the coast. To improve understanding and success of NbS for enhancing beach resilience we will: 1) conduct a state-wide inventory and risk assessment to identify sites where protective dunes exist(ed), their current condition and status of resilience or resistance to erosion and sea-level rise. 2) develop and evaluate a suitability assessment and performance framework to identify opportunities for restored dunes to improve shoreline resilience. 3) compile existing data and extend monitoring beyond the 5 years required by permits to assess performance of selected dune projects across a range of scales/types spanning the geographic and social-economic diversity of the state, and 4) develop state-wide guidance for monitoring, implementation, maintenance, and performance assessment of protective dunes using collaborator workshops, outcomes, and lessons from dozens of existing projects statewide. We will use historical aerial photography, satellite imagery, land surveys, project results, and the USGS CoSMoS-COAST model to address these objectives. Communities/end users will be engaged via established research collaborations and beach networks, such as the California Dune Science Network (resource managers, local governments, consultants, academics, Tribal members, non-profits, state/federal coastal management agencies), BEACON (local governments) and the Beach Ecology Coalition (resource and beach managers, regulators, equipment operators). Our project will identify sites and support beach-dune restoration as a viable, scientifically informed, locally accessible adaptation strategy for improving resilience of California’s sandy beaches and ecosystem services to climate change impacts.

Wh-Islands: A View from Correspondence Theory
Creators: name: Vogel, Ralf
Publisher: name: Equinox Publishing Ltd.
Year: 2007

description: This paper discusses a family of restrictions on syntactic extraction, so-called wh-islands. The analysis will be based on the OT syntax model developed in Vogel (2004a,b) which focuses on the correspondence between semantic, syntactic and phonological representations, in the spirit of work by Jackendoff (199&), Williams (2003) and Culicover & Jackendoff (2005). I will argue that the wh-island restriction results from the impossibility to establish a perfect semantics-syntax mapping in the relevant structures. The resulting constraint violations add up to yield the wh-island effect. Exceptions to the wh-island restrictions in English are argued to be prosodically licensed.Section 2 introduces the model I am using, and presents examples of some accounts of ineffability which I developed elsewhere. That section also introduces the basics of my treatment of wh-movement. Section 3 develops the account of wh-islands. Section 4 discusses the exceptions to the wh-island restriction that we see in English, and extends my account to handle these cases. The OT implementation of this account is presented in Section 5.

description: California’s landmark policy on methane emissions (SB 1383) mandates the diversion of 75% of organic waste from entering landfills by 2025. This policy will result in unprecedented use of compost, manure, and other organics for application to lands. Given the short time-frame for implementation and the massive scale of these activities, there is now an urgent need to develop decision support that can optimize the benefits of organics land application in the form of carbon sequestration, nutrient delivery, and water management while avoiding impacts, particularly to air and water quality in disadvantaged communities. The optimization is complicated by trade-offs between the carbon, nutrient, and water systems. Analyzing any one of these system alone is likely to, at best, result in sub-optimal performance and, at worst, cause significant unintended consequences. Due to these complex trade-offs, the development of robust decision support will require the integration of knowledge across multiple fields of expertise including agroecology, economics, soil science, and hydrology. To address this immediate challenge for California climate policy, we propose a research and end-user engagement project, combining resources across four UC campuses (Santa Cruz, Merced, Davis, and Berkeley). Research will be organized around three inter-related areas: (1) landscape model development to provide decision support for farmers and other land managers to apply organics with optimal carbon-water-nutrient benefits; (2) geospatial life-cycle model development for policy decision support to minimize distribution costs and life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions; and (3) field experiments to fill gaps in knowledge on organics management across a diverse range of feedstocks, soil types, climates, and crop varieties. Our team has a record of public impact research with stakeholders from local and state government, as well as industrial and agricultural businesses, that are tasked with implementation of this policy. By integrating activities across research labs and end-user partners, with professional stakeholder facilitation from our NGO partner, we will develop decision support tools that will help realize the full benefits of California’s methane emissions policy, while creating a framework for sustainable organic management in communities more broadly.

description: In the twenty-five years that have elapsed since the publication of Bulletin 14, The Geology of New Jersey by J, Volney Lewis and Henry B. Kummel, great progress has been made in the science of geology and much careful work has been done not only in New Jersey but in adjacent states. This has necessitated some changes in our conclusions regarding the classification and geologic history of some rock formations in New Jersey. Moreover, the original edition of Bulletin 14 has been out of print for many years and there has been a steady demand from various sources for a summary of the geology of the State, so that the need for a new edition has long been apparent.

description: Communities of people in California are facing many threats from climate change such as drought, wildfire, and extreme weather. This project will make it easier for tribes and community groups to partner with universities and land managers to reduce risks from climate change. A unique network of experts from environmental science, social science, law, and the humanities as well as land managers and tribal leaders will collaborate to form the Wildland-Urban Interface Climate Action Network (WUICAN) with the goal of creating knowledge and climate solutions that ensure a resilient relationship between society and wild landscapes. Three University of California campuses (Irvine, Riverside, and San Diego) will host the network and partner with community groups, tribes, and management agencies to protect and preserve California landscapes experiencing unprecedented climate events. WUICAN will create new opportunities for California residents to have a say in how federal, state, and local agencies can best protect their communities from climate change. Network members will share these innovations to engage communities across California in tackling climate change and maximize the efficiency of state spending on climate programs. WUICAN will fund community leaders to assess needs for climate action and design appropriate solutions in partnership with policy experts. WUICAN will also invest in training academic researchers to build strong connections with Black, Indigenous, and People of Color communities who have unique needs and knowledge. That investment includes providing the next generation of community organizers and students of all ages with the communication and teamwork skills needed to build a climate resilient workforce. By leveraging innovative climate climate research, land stewardship, and educational projects, WUICAN will produce science-based and community-driven best practices for dealing with climate risks. Collaboration on policy development will lead to more effective conservation, restoration, carbon storage, drought resilience, and fire prevention on landscapes across California. Together, these stewardship practices and policies will address many of the official climate priorities named in California’s Climate Adaptation Strategy, Pathways to 30x30 conservation strategy, and 2022 Scoping Plan for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

description: This conference will create an intersectional dialogue around women’s health and environmental justice. Introducing breast cancer into this discussion is an innovative component which will attract the interest of advocates, promotoras, researchers, and others involved in environmental advocacy, breast cancer, or reproductive health. Breast cancer is often not discussed in relation to environmental exposures and this conference will highlight their intersection. This conference seeks to bring together promotoras along with health professionals, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, public health officials, and leaders in environmental justice, breast cancer, reproductive health, community organizing to inform the audience about the impact of environmental toxins on breast cancer and reproductive health. Attendees will be given a “call to action” to help mobilize them to use the information they will gain at the conference to further work in addressing breast cancer and reproductive health. The disparities faced by low-income communities in their exposure to toxins will be addressed with an urgency in order to engage women from under-resourced communities in reducing environmental toxins where they live, work, and congregate. Examining issues of how poor air, soil, and water quality can contribute to breast cancer and reproductive harm will be addressed. The intended audience will be made up of representatives of breast cancer advocates and survivors, researchers, public health educators, grassroots environmental justice advocates, and promoters who work in their own neighborhoods teaching residents about healthy behaviors. The conference will be held in Spanish with English interpretation. The outcomes generated by the conference are anticipated to be focused on knowledge gains and advocacy. It is expected that the attendees will have knowledge gains related to hidden hazards of environmental toxins on breast cancer and reproductive health. Additionally, the conference will provide a springboard for action to engage in community advocacy to reduce environmental exposures and adopt environmentally friendly behaviors to reduce their own individual exposures. Follow-up with attendees about opportunities for other education provided by WWLA related to environmental exposures and promotora training will be integral in the conference.
Sea Level Rise Impacts on Earthquake-Induced Soil Liquefaction

description: According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, sea levels are projected to increase by 0.37 to 1.88 m by 2100 under likely scenarios, and possibly more than 2 m by 2100 and 5 m by 2150. Sea level rise will exacerbate extreme water levels due to spring tides, storm surge, and wave setup that pose multiple interrelated coastal hazards including beach erosion, wave overtopping, and infrastructure damage. More than 600 million people live in coastal areas that are less than 10m above sea level, and potentially at significant risk of the effects of coastal hazards. Furthermore, many coastal communities are low-income and poorly positioned to respond to the increasing threats.
 Sea level rise will raise groundwater levels in coastal areas, thereby increasing earthquake-induced liquefaction hazard. Liquefaction is the sudden loss of strength and stiffness of sandy soil that can disrupt infrastructure due to sand flowing up to the ground surface, permanent horizontal ground displacements, and even massive landslides like the one in Sulawesi, Indonesia that killed hundreds of people. Entire communities in Christchurch, New Zealand have been relocated due to liquefaction. Soils must be saturated with water to liquefy during earthquakes. Therefore, soil that is above the groundwater table will not liquefy regardless of the strength of shaking. Furthermore, shallow liquefied soils are more likely to disrupt the ground surface and damage infrastructure. Sea level rise is therefore anticipated to increase the thickness of saturated liquefiable soils, and also the consequences of liquefaction. However, the influence of sea level rise on liquefaction hazard has not been thoroughly quantified state-wide, nor are projections included in regulatory maps that identify liquefaction zones.
 The proposed work will integrate groundwater modeling, sea level rise projections, geotechnical site investigation data, seismic hazard analysis, and liquefaction analysis to develop a map of liquefaction hazard severity in California. The map will be coordinated with the California Geological Survey (CGS), the California Seismic Safety Commission, and the US Geological Survey and will inform the zones of required investigation identified by CGS that dictates zones where liquefaction hazard assessments are required when new developments are proposed in California.

description: Genus Khutelia Sukatsheva & Sinitshenkova, gen. nov.
Type species. Khutelia jarzembowskii sp. nov.
Etymology. The name of the new genus derives from the locality Khutel-Khara.
Diagnosis. Insects are medium in size. Apical fork F 1 present, its apex begins more proximal than F 2 –F 3, F 4 absent. M branching more distally than RS branching point. Cells DC, MC closed, TC long, possibly closed. CuP and A 1 terminating at wing hind margin close to each other, but not at the same point; their terminations not desclerotized. Cross vein cua 2 -cup distinct. CuP bending before flowing into the wing edge. A 2 shorter than A 1.
Include species. Type species.

Remarks. The described new genus Khutelia gen. nov. is assigned to the family Baissoferidae by the absence of fork F 4 and by much more distal branching M relative to the branching point of RS and by the more distal F 1 relative to F 2 and F.
In the diagnosis of the genus, it is presumably written that the TC cell is possibly closed. The degree of preservation of the wing does not allow us to define this more precisely.

description: California’s climate action priority of establishing a carbon-free electric grid depends critically on battery technologies that can store energy from renewable yet intermittent sources (e.g. solar, wind). Although Li-ion batteries dominate the portable electronics and electric vehicle markets, their advantages don’t align well with the requirements of grid-scale energy storage. As an alternative, Zn chemistry can potentially offer the cheap, long-lasting, and safe battery technology needed for grid storage, if some significant challenges can be overcome. Here, we propose to create a breakthrough battery technology based on Zn chemistry by combining the unique expertise and capabilities of the two lead PIs: (1) commercially proven materials synthesis methods developed by PI Kaner (Science 335, 1326, 2012) and (2) state-of-the-art characterization tools developed by Co-PI Li (Science 358, 506, 2017; Science 375, 66, 2022). We will engineer a high-capacity cathode material using laser-scribed synthesis and reveal its fundamental working and failure modes using cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM). Indeed, our preliminary results (unpublished) demonstrate the longest cycling performance of vanadium-based cathodes that simultaneously exhibit the highest cycling rate and capacity reported to date. Our proposed scope of research will pursue three Aims:

 Aim 1: Materials engineering for optimizing the cathode material
 Aim 2: Electrochemical evaluation and testing in large format batteries
 Aim 3: Pilot scale demonstration in battery packs for grid scale use

 In addition to developing a commercially relevant and critical battery technology, this high-impact collaboration will also provide substantial scientific value in elucidating the molecular-scale operating principle(s) of our cathode material. We expect initial outcomes supported by the CA Climate Action Seed Grant to attract future investments from both industry and federal agencies. Finally, our project benefits from the balanced leadership of a pioneering leader in carbon nanoscience (PI Kaner) and a junior faculty member who has already made significant contributions to energy research (Co-PI Li), establishing a fruitful and lasting collaboration for this research and beyond.
An analysis of affective teacher/student mathematical interactions in two urban middle school classrooms
Creators: name: Brett, Pamela C.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: Learning mathematics often evokes powerful affective reactions including uncertainty, frustration, or anxiety as well as satisfaction, joy and elation. Such emotions may contribute to or impede students’ “in the moment” engagement as well as their longer-term motivation to learn mathematics. Research suggests that motivation and engagement are malleable constructs influenced by the contexts in which learning takes place. The language and actions which teachers use when interacting with their students may contribute to the development of learning environments that foster (or inhibit) student motivation and mathematical engagement.  This study examines classroom videotapes that capture “in the moment” mathematical interactions between two urban middle school teachers and their students. It describes the teachers’ reflections on their own affect, and their explanations of their rationales for affective and instructional decisions, as reported during videotaped retrospective stimulated recall interviews. Three research questions are addressed:  1.) During the teacher/student mathematical interaction episodes that were analyzed, what affective language and/or actions do these two urban mathematics teachers use to foster or support (or possibly discourage or impede) students’ engagement with conceptually challenging mathematics, as their students work in small groups?  2.) What can be inferred about the students’ engagement with the mathematics immediately subsequent to the identified teacher/student mathematical interaction episodes?  3.) In retrospective stimulated recall interviews, what rationale do these two teachers provide for their own affective language and/or actions when interacting with students during key affective events?  To answer these questions, fifty-seven videotaped teacher/student mathematical interaction episodes that were recorded during a span of eight days of classroom periods (four days per teacher) are analyzed. From the coded video data, five themes regarding the teachers’ affective language and actions emerge and are discussed: (1) Teacher interest in students’ mathematical engagement, reasoning and representation, (2) Teacher validation of student mathematical reasoning, (3) Teacher support of student autonomy, (4) Teacher encouragement of discourse and (5) Teacher promotion of respect.  This study contributes to an emerging discussion about the contextual factors contributing to student engagement in mathematics classrooms. The study has implications for teacher education and teacher professional development, as teachers apply specific affective strategies to promote student engagement with mathematics. It also has implications for education researchers investigating specific teaching strategies that promote student mathematical engagement. Limitations include the small sample of teachers, the qualitative nature of the analysis, and the reliability of inferences drawn from videotaped data.

description: California is quickly embracing zero emission vehicles (ZEVs) as a means to decarbonize the transportation sector. According to Executive Order N-79-20, ZEVs will be the only new vehicles allowed to be sold in the state by 2035. At the same time, the state is at high risk of severe weather phenomena, such as wildfires, floods and earthquakes. For example, more than 1 million people were ordered to evacuate in California between 2017-2019 due to wildfires. These extreme events might disrupt the electric grid, introducing blackouts and limiting ZEVs recharging; in the worst-case scenario, lack of charge accessibility might compromise safe evacuation of communities using ZEVs, especially if the evacuation needs to be performed on short notice. There is an urgent need to revisit evacuation strategies of California communities, which were originally designed around vehicles with internal combustion engines and are unprepared to cope with large-scale adoption of ZEVs.

 Our project will create new knowledge and insights that can deepen our understanding on how to prepare and respond to emergency evacuations using ZEVs. We will provide actionable outcomes that can be quickly transferred to communities in California. These actional outcomes include resources, decision-aid tools, policy recommendations and education materials that will be used by communities and government officials to improve their preparedness for emergency evacuations using ZEVs.

 We will build several real-world case studies using data from the Office of Emergency Services of Merced and Mariposa Counties. These counties are at high risk of flooding and wildfires, and often need issue evacuation order in respond to extreme weather events. The tools developed during the project will help Merced and Mariposa communities understand vulnerabilities in their charging infrastructure, learn best strategies for deploying mobile chargers to support overloaded EV charging stations, and select evacuation routes that minimize travel time for ZEVs. We expect the knowledge and lessons learned in this project can then be translated to other California communities that are currently transitioning toward a ZEV-based transportation ecosystem and that need to revise their evacuation preparedness to support clean vehicles.

description: With public health becoming one of our country’s biggest concerns, even the smallest change can make a huge difference. By creating a documentary that depicts the importance of local farmers markets, we open the door to numerous possibilities. We hope to encourage Rutgers students to make healthier choices about what they eat and help them see that they have options. Ultimately, by bringing attention to the Rutgers Gardens Farmers Market, we can convince the university to establish a transportation system to make it more accessible to the student body.

description: Healthy forests are a major carbon sink and provide many ecosystem services, but intensifying large-scale fires and droughts are creating areas where natural tree regeneration is limited. Moreover, climate change is reducing performance of seed sources that were historically adapted to their local climates. Replanting damaged forests with climate-adapted seedlings is key to restoring ecosystem function. Challenges include identifying seed sources that can thrive in future conditions and obtaining enough of the appropriate seed. We aim to: 1) test whether the publicly available Climate-Adapted Seed Tool (CAST) can predict the early results of ongoing operational-planting-style assisted migration experiments, 2) assess how “bet-hedging” by replanting with seeds from multiple sources may improve restoration success, and 3) develop a new set of tools to prioritize seed collection areas to ensure that climate change-adapted seeds are available.
 CAST currently includes three species with detailed predictions; we are in the process of updating it to include up to 11 more. To test the predictions of seedling performance based on CAST, we will make use of several post-fire experiments using seedlings from multiple source areas. Our preliminary analyses indicate that the performance of ponderosa pine seed sources over 2-5 years in one such planting roughly matches the ranking suggested by CAST for the next 20 years.
 Uncertainty in climate projections necessarily lead to uncertainty in which will be the “best” seed source. We aim to develop a tool to calculate how different mixes of seed sources for a given species may improve the reliability forest growth and carbon sequestration outcomes by “bet hedging” to reduce uncertainty. This tool could be used to guide seed collection priorities as well as planting strategies.
 To identify priority areas for seed collection we will first, for species included in CAST, build on current efforts to map areas of high climate exposure and areas likely to produce seed crops most adapted to changing climates across California. Collecting seed from these areas and storing it in seed banks will help buffer against the risk of loss of genetic potential. Second, using the Mastif model, we will create projections of seed production to help time seed collection efforts effectively. These maps will be made available to end-users online.

description: An analysis of rooftop greenery as applied to an on-campus animal shelter at Rutgers University
description: As the earth's population continues to rise, the amount of buildings and structures also increase. In areas of dense population, human energy consumption is very high and relatively inefficient. One way to reduce such energy use and to increase efficiency is to implement a green roof system on buildings. A green roof is simply a rooftop with vegetation growing on it, which provides insulation, improves air quality, and reduces rainwater runoff. Many countries worldwide have recognized the effectiveness of green roofs, with some nations even passing laws mandating that new and current structures have rooftop vegetation. While the U.S. has a few prominent examples, more green roofs would mean more energy efficiency. Here, we have designed a model green roof to be implemented on top of a new animal shelter being built. Ideally, this is a design which can be followed in the construction of more buildings in the future.

description: (Lauren) "RU Reaching Out" is a group at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ hoping to help the the children of Haiti from the Renmen Foundation(http://www.renmenhaiti.org/en¬-/about-us.html) by sending pen-pal letters to them in hopes to influence the children in continuing and achieving their education and providing help with their English reading and writing skills. We would like to inspire, encourage, and motivate the children of the Renmen Foundation by acting as role-models and providing them an area where they can discuss their educational and personal goals. By writing a letter to one of the children, you are not only establishing a close bond, but also a chance to positively change a child's life. “RU Reaching Out” is also interested in gathering different individuals from the Rutgers community both students and faculty that may be interested in volunteering during the summer of 2011 at the Renmen Foundation or making a donation for this exchange program and the Renmen Foundation.

description: Improving the Information Gap in Involvement with Hair Donation Organizations in the General New Brunswick Area
description: It is expected that the year 2010 will see 1.5 million new cases of cancer diagnosed by its end.  A small, but significant ten thousand of those cases will be in children – ages twenty-one and under.  Of the remaining new cancer patients, almost half will be female.  Of the new women and children patients many will undergo chemotherapy and subsequently loss some or even all their hair.  These new patients will join the two groups that we are focusing our attention on, the women and children battling cancer and in need of hair donations.  We chose to host our own Locks for Love event to raise at least enough hair donations to create a wig for one child.  As a secondary part of our project we aimed to educate local New Brunswick salons on different organizations involved in wig creation from hair donation.  By educating the salons on the benefits and ease of entry to participate with certain organizations our intentions were to increase the amount of salons involved.  Within the process of donating hair to organizations there exist inefficiencies due to unfamiliarity with guidelines provided by the organizations themselves.  By increasing the number of local salons involved we aim to increase efficiency.  Also, during the implementation of our project we realized that a means of monitoring registered salons would prove beneficial.  We contacted both the University of Rutgers and the City of New Brunswick in hope that they would consider assisting us in this venture.
