CU project: Degraded military lands to get ecological boost
0November 15, 2012
Some arid lands in the American West degraded by military exercises that date back to General George Patton’s Word War II maneuvers in the Mojave Desert should get a boost from an innovative research project led by the University of Colorado Boulder.
Headed up by CU-Boulder Assistant Professor Nichole Barger, the research team is focused on developing methods to restore biological soil crusts — microbial communities primarily concentrated on soil surfaces critical to decreasing erosion and increasing water retention and soil fertility. Such biological soil crusts, known as “biocrusts,” can cover up to 70 percent of the ground in some arid ecosystems and are dominated by cyanobacteria, lichens, mosses, fungi and bacteria, she said.
The project is aimed at restoring fragile habitats in desert areas that have been affected by the movement of U.S. military vehicles, including tanks, as well as high foot traffic, said Barger, a faculty member in CU-Boulder’s ecology and environmental biology department. The team has two U.S. Department of Defense study sites — Fort Bliss, which straddles southern Texas and New Mexico and is located in a hot desert environment, and the Dugway Proving Ground in northwest Utah, seated in a cool desert environment.
“Biocrusts often are associated with increased soil nutrients and water retention, but their most important task is to stabilize soil surfaces against wind and water erosion,” Barger said. “While most biocrusts are relatively resilient to wind and water erosion, they are highly susceptible to compressional forces like those generated by foot and vehicle traffic associated with ground-based military activities.”
At military installations like Fort Bliss, the Dugway Proving Ground and in the California/Arizona Maneuver Area in the Mojave Desert used by Patton’s troops, scars of past military activity still are evident, said Barger. “You can go to these places and see that the biocrusts in the old tank tracks, for example, are completely different than nearby biocrusts undisturbed by military activity.”
The project is being funded by a five-year, $2.3 million grant from the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program, the U.S. Department of Defense environmental science and technology program that partners with the U.S. Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency. The research team also includes Jayne Belnap, Michael Duniway and Sasha Reed from the U.S. Geological Survey’s Biological Resources Division in Moab, Utah and Ferran Garcia-Pichel of Arizona State University in Tempe.
The first step of the program will be to grow biocrusts in laboratories at ASU, said Barger. “Our approach will be to expose laboratory biocrusts over time to a physiological ‘boot camp’ that includes increasing stressors like heat, light and dryness,” she said. “By doing that, we believe the biocrusts we eventually transplant into the study areas will have a higher probability of survival.”
The lab-grown biocrust products will be dried, bagged and transported to field test sites at each respective military installation and sprinkled on soil surfaces, said Barger.
Once in the field, the stress-adapted biocrusts developed in the lab nurseries for both hot desert and cool desert environments will be combined with other soil stabilization strategies, she said. The team, for example, will also experiment with adding polyacrylamide — a soil-stabilizing compound shown to increase soil porosity and reduce erosion, compaction, dustiness and water run-off — to the mix.
The researchers will evaluate the effectiveness of such soil “inoculations” and determine the optimum dosage for the test sites. Following the assisted recovery of the local biocrusts at Fort Bliss and the Dugway Proving Ground, the team will begin a series of seeding trials to develop strategies for native plant re-establishment, Barger said.
The last step of the project will involve a series of rainfall simulations and wind tunnel experiments combined with broad-scale soil erosion modeling to evaluate the influence of biocrust and native plant restoration in terms of precipitation and soil erosion.
While DOD military installations cover nearly 30 million acres — 70 percent of which are located in arid regions of the West — Barger said the research also could aid in the effective management of other federal lands. “We think our work on biocrusts also will be of interest to land managers at agencies like the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service,” Barger said.
The adaptation of biocrusts to extreme environments likely will come into play even more as climate change continues to heat and dry the West, she said. “We expect the drought in the Southwest to intensify as a result of climate change, and this project should tell us more about how adaptive these biocrusts are under shifting environmental conditions.”
The research project also has health implications, said Barger, since the disturbance of biocrusts can trigger the release of significant amounts of atmospheric dust, a dominant pollutant in some desert metropolitan areas. “There is a broad societal interest in stabilizing dryland soils in order to protect not only the functioning of local ecosystems but also human populations that reside in surrounding communities.”
“In terms of tackling an important environmental issue, this is by far the most exciting research project that I have been involved in,” said Barger, who has worked in Hawaii, Central America, South America, China and South Africa.

Evidence of global climate in Southern Hemisphere

SOUTHERN SOUTH AMERICAN WILDFIRES
EXPECTED TO INCREASE, SAYS CU STUDY
A new University of Colorado Boulder study indicates a major climate oscillation in the Southern Hemisphere that is expected to intensify in the coming decades will likely cause increased wildfire activity in the southern half of South America.
The research team used tree rings dating to 1506 to track past wildfire activity in the forests of Patagonia tied to the Southern Annular Mode, or SAM, a climate oscillation that creates low atmospheric pressure in the Antarctic that is tied to warmer and drier conditions in southern South America. The tree rings showed that when SAM was in its positive phase, there were widespread fires in both dry woodlands and rainforests in Patagonia, a region that straddles Argentina and Chile, said CU-Boulder Research Associate Andres Holz, lead study author.
“Our study shows for about the past 250 years, the Southern Annular Mode has been the main driver in creating droughts and fires in two very different ecosystems in southern South America,” said Holz. “Climate models suggest an increase in SAM beginning in the 1960s due to greenhouse gas increases and Antarctic ozone depletion probably will cause this region to be drought-prone and fire-prone for at least the next 100 years.”
A paper on the subject by Holz and CU-Boulder geography Professor Thomas Veblen was published in Geophysical Research Letters.
Holz and Veblen compared past wildfire records for two ecologically distinct regions in Patagonia — the relatively dry region of southern Patagonia in Argentina and the temperate rainforest of Patagonia in northern Chile. While the tree ring historical record showed increased fires in both regions correlated with a positive SAM, the trend has been less pronounced in northern Patagonia in the past 50 years, likely because of fire-suppression efforts there, Holz said.
But the decades of fire suppression have caused the northern Patagonian woodlands to become denser and more prone towildfire during hot and dry years, Holz said.
“Even in areas of northern Patagonia where fire suppression previously had been effective, record surface areas of woodlands and forests have burned in recent years of extreme drought,” said Veblen. “And since this is in an area of rapid residential growth into wildland-urban interface areas, this climate-driven trend towards increasing fire risk is becoming a major problem for land managers and homeowners.”
The two CU-Boulder researchers studied reconstructions of tree rings going back more than 500 years from 432 trees at 42 sample sites in northern Argentina and southern Chile — the largest available data set of annual, readable tree ring records in the Southern Hemisphere. The tree rings, which indicate climate cycles and reveal the scars of old fires, showed that wildfires generally increased in both regions when SAM was in its strong, positive phase.
Although the Antarctic ozone hole stopped growing in about 2000 as a result of a ban on ozone-depleting gases and now appears to be slowly repairing itself, a 2011 paper by researchers at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder indicates ozone recovery and greenhouse gas influences essentially will cancel each other out, preventing SAM from returning to its pre-1960s levels.
“Before the Industrial Revolution, SAM intensified naturally at times to create drought situations in Patagonia,” Holz said. “But in the last 80 years or so, the natural variation has been overwhelmed by a bias toward a positive SAM phase because of ozone-depleting chemicals and greenhouse gases we have put in the atmosphere.”
The research effort was supported by the National Geographic Society, the National Science Foundation, the CU Beverly Sears Small Grants Program and the Council on Research and CreativeResearch of the CU Graduate School.
“As warming and drying trends continue, it is likely that wildfire activity will increase even in woodland areas where fire suppression has previously been effective,” Holz and Veblen wrote in Geophysical Research Letters.

4 Reasons PR Agencies Are Failing in Social Media: Hire BC1 and save your self a lost fortune: We were the first

4 Reasons PR Agencies Are Failing in Social Media
A couple of weeks ago, Jason Keath wrote a post that got many thoughtful comments and reactions. I agree that good communication professionals understand the power of storytelling and know that relationship building is a worthy activity and work on action steps to develop good relationships.
Indeed, a retainer arrangement is a good way to go in social media. Especially if you need to ramp up your own people over time, and have constant needs and request, it will cost you less to go that way. Plus, it will help you maintain consistency.
And if you’re worried your people will screw up — customers or employees, they are people and they might — PR agencies may also provide crisis communications counsel and services. Of course, not all are known for doing a stellar job at it, and the expert may be a different one from your day to day team.
At this point, you may have already realized how dangerous generalizations can be. You may have a bigger relationship with a digital agency, in that case they’d know your business better, for example. Depending on your research needs, PR agencies may be ill equipped to deal with segmentation analysis. I’m digressing…
To his 4 reasons PR agencies are taking over social media, I’d like to list 4 reasons PR agencies are failing in social media:
(1.) PR is having a hard time letting go of the pitchWhen we accept that PR agencies do relationship building, we’re making one ginormous assumption — that the process of reaching out to mainstream media, which they do based upon reach and numbers, is the exact same with bloggers.
How do they know your blog is worth reaching out to on behalf of their client? By and large because it’s listed on a top bloggers list. They know nothing about your readers, how could they if they have taken no time to interact with them in the comments to your posts? Or reading enough of them in the first place.
I’ve been thinking a lot about the advice many of us have given PR pros about pitching story angles — know the subject matter the blogger likes to cover, read their blog, etc. While this is still valid, I’m thinking that there is one fundamental disconnect we have probably not communicated well enough or with enough clarity — the best kind of pitch is not a pitch at all, it’s a conversation.
How many agencies take the time to be truly helpful to the bloggers they’d consider in their clients’ sweet spot? I still see a ton of canned emails and the most annoying follow ups that read like their clients are entitled to coverage.
Case in point: a blogger who finds your pitch offensive, or tactless, decides to post it with their take on how you could have just spent more time getting to know them and their readers. What then?
(2.) PR is having a hard time learning the client’s businessSocial media is very content intensive. It’s also about learning about how to write content for the digital medium. It’s not about making introductions anymore. It’s about learning the business deeply enough to be able to generate content with or in some cases on behalf of the client.
The model is shifting, there are fewer mainstream media outlets and thousands of online properties without enough editors/writers or with editors who won’t get on the phone with a subject matter expert because they have no time. And the time lines are getting ridiculously short.
Knowing your client’s business will help you shorten time lines, or answer questions on the fly when a blogger replies they’re interested. And more and more, you may need to step in to help clients shape their own publications.
Case in point: the client is interested in you leading their social media efforts and all you can do is ask to get on painfully long phone calls with their subject matter experts to gather information so you can write posts. How do you handle ghost writing questions when you hit publish? How do you handle writing for digital media?
(3.) PR is still having a hard time with measurementWith a few rare exceptions, like the work KD Paine has been doing for decades, PR agencies have still not gotten their act together when it comes to measurement. Yes, they may be better at monitoring and listening, and now probably sentiment analysis.
They still need to learn to move away from impressions, and into how to correlate social ecosystems, influence analysis, and digital media to business results. I’m not talking about leads, PR is not designed to generate leads, you have lead generation for that. However, you may make connections. Connections are good.
Does your PR agency know how to put the public back in PR measurement? Do they report beyond exposure to engagement, influence on perceptions and attitudes, action resulted from the social media effort?
Case in point: check you reports and do let me know if you get those other metrics. I’d be thrilled to add an update to this post if we identify a trend here.
(4.) PR is still stuck with media while publics go underserved
By treating bloggers like media outlets, PR agencies are still failing to see beyond the media relations part of their charter. For many, it’s probably also a case of educating clients on the value of building relationships with all stakeholders or resetting the expectation they helped create.
Today, many of those publics are direct customers for the client business. An enterprising agency would find a way to work with data bases and cross reference stakeholders with bloggers, influencers, and people who use social media.
Social media tends to have them all in one stream, without differentiation. Sothe best data base wins. Have PR agencies learned how to build efficient data bases? Being human and getting creative also get attention beyond media. Something PR agencies are still learning about themselves.
Case in point: ask any PR professional if they do this and they’ll say that of course they do. To that, I say bullocks. They will support an internal visionary who does.
***
The biggest reason of course, is that I believe social media should be handled in house and not by any one agency. Sure, they can get you set up and started, help with training, support measurement and the creation of other assets to share and provide through social media.
These fours are the main reason why no agencies will ever supplant an internal team. They can augment and support it. Replace it? Forget about it.

Boulder awarded 2010 Federal Safe Routes to School funding
0April 19, 2010
The City of Boulder has been awarded $198,230 by the Colorado Department of Transportation’s Colorado Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program. The funds will be used to construct the Four Mile Creek greenway trail between 28th and 26th streets and will benefit Crest View Elementary School and Centennial Middle School students, families, faculty and staff. A total of 19 elementary and middle schools have benefited from SRTS funds within the City of Boulder. Fifteen of these are BVSD schools and four are private schools. Childhood obesity rates have more than tripled in the past 30 years while the number of children walking and biking to school has declined. According to the 2001 National Household Travel Survey, less than 16 percent of students between the ages of five and 15 walked or biked to or from school, compared to 42 percent in 1969. Through the 2005 passage of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), Congress designated a total of $612 million toward developing the National Safe Routes to School Program.

The Colorado Safe Routes to School program offers schools and community groups the funding they need to provide SRTS programs. This includes safety education, promotion and engineering solutions that encourage students to get the exercise they need to lead happy and healthy lives. Through SRTS, the city works in partnership with the Boulder Valley School District (BVSD) to address the physical environment and social impediments to walking and biking to school.
“The City of Boulder to date has received more than $900,000 for infrastructure improvements through the SRTS program,” said Director of Public Works for Transportation Tracy Winfree. “These federal funds have allowed us to build a number of projects that make it easier, safer and more convenient for students and their families to bike and walk to school.”

every night from our world headquarter studios here in Boulder. I haven’t done a weekly live show since 2005( live on channel 54 public access tv in Boulder from 1996 to 2005) and 1994 since I did a nightly live show on the old channel 36 in Denver. Before that it was am-710 KNUS the news station from 8:00 til midnight from 1990 to 1993, and 760 K-talk from 1987 to 1990. This time you can find me at http://www.Jannscottlive.com every night. Hey, am I crazy or what.? Daily blog and nightly show.? When it comes to live Talk whether it be TV or radio, I’m a pro and know what I am doing. I’ve had a lot of years doing it nightly……..and it is a blast. Well , at least doing some nights. I’ll figure it out. I think I just finally decided to do it after my friend Alice told me how much she enjoyed the show back before she knew me. Jeez. the movie Julie and Julia got me writing daily again. And now just one comment and I am doing live TV again. Aaron and Gabe used to run the old Live show at channel 54 at different times. They work on channel one networks now. we designed our internet TV channels 5 years ago.. in part so that I could do live TV with out having the government have a Cat every time I went off. But Oh my God was tonights show a hoot. First night back…right out of the box BAM! I got a caller at 7:55 who had just watched my segment on pot on 22Boom our video blog on channel 22. She was all wound up about the issue. So I put her on hold, intro’d the new show, went right to marijuana, then put the caller on.
Tonights show went well. We ran for an hour. ( my intention to run from 15 minutes to an hour)
I had a one hour caller with a lot to say about drugs and several bloggers on Justin. Steve came over and made a bunch of comments off camera but on mic and it filled out beautifully. Bloggers liked it.

A Letter from Mark Milliman
Thank You for Your Effort on Boulder Fiber!!!
Steve, Alan, steve, Jann, Bryan, Seth, Jackson, Brad, Don, Elizabeth, Kaleb
Now that all of the hubbub over the RFI submission has calmed down, I wanted to take the time to thank all of you for your tremendous effort and talent put into the Boulder Fiber effort. We received many complements on the web site, artwork, and videos surrounding the effort. Those compliments belong to you guys. In a way our effort was a bit of a flash mob. We mobilized quickly and created a web site and awareness campaign in very little time with no real long-range planning. Although we wanted tens of thousands of nominations, we saw almost 20K hits to the web site, over 3,000 nominations, and a decent amount of followers on Twitter and Facebook. Comparing numbers we ended up in the 10 ten for awareness. All-in-all a very respectable showing.
The campaign continues. We submitted our RFI response two weeks ago and added some additional content to the web site. The response is available at boulderfiber.com/rfi. We will continue to post information there and keep an eye out for when Google starts looking at it. Keep encouraging people to visit the site and fill out step 1. We can still show Google that the community is still actively interested.
The whole advisory team thanks you for your effort and dedication to the project. We couldn’t have done it without you.
Thanks so much,
Mark

Its a little different than Boulder Channel One. It is the community channel where you can post your boulder videos uncensored; unless you are fucking the dog. We won’t put that on.
