Scott L Collins, Quantitative Environmental Science, BioScience, Volume 71, Issue 12, December 2021, Page 1199, ... For example, this year, our National Science Foundation-sponsored Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program in dryland ecology held a 2-day Data Carpentries workshop for the REU students (and me). These very well ...

In this paper we afford a quantitative analysis of the sustainability of current world population growth in relation to the parallel deforestation process adopting a statistical point of view. We ...

Environmental science brings a transdisciplinary systems approach to analyzing sustainability concerns. As the intrinsic concept of sustainability can be interpreted according to diverse values and definitions, quantitative methods based on rigorous scientific research are crucial for establishing an evidence-based consensus on pertinent issues ...

The implementation of mixed methods research designs—research designs that incorporate both qualitative and quantitative methods—in future energy-impacts studies could potentially strengthen the breadth of our knowledge of the perceived and/or objective environmental/natural resource-related risks and/or benefits of energy development (cf ...

1. Introduction. Since its first mention in Ecological Economics over two decades ago (Barry and Proops, 1999), numerous socio-environmental researchers have adopted Q-methodology to investigate social perspectives on environmental governance.Q-methodology, hereafter referred to as "Q-method," is a mixed qualitative-quantitative approach that offers replicable steps to elicit key ...

Our research suggests that the geographical detector offers a quantitative and objective analytical framework that could be used to find the essence of many geosciences phenomena. There are still ...

Michela Cameletti is an Associate Professor of Statistics at the Department of Management, Economics and Quantitative Methods, University of Bergamo, Italy. Her research interests include spatial and spatio-temporal models for environmental applications and computational methods for Bayesian inference.

It is increasingly clear that good quantitative work in the environmental sciences must be genuinely interdisciplinary. This volume, the proceedings of the first combined TIES/SPRUCE conference held at the University of Sheffield in September 2000, well demonstrates the truth of this assertion, highlighting the successful use of both statistics and mathematics in important practical problems.

This paper reviews the interdisciplinary collaboration between Environmental Sciences and Statistics. The usage of statistical methods as a problem-solving tool for handling environmental problems is the key element of this approach. This paper enhances a clear pavement for environmental scientists as well as quantitative researchers for their further collaborative learning with an analytical ...

Two approaches to quantitative synthesis are widely used: (1) the meta-analysis of study-level summary statistics (hereafter 'meta-analysis'), which requires treatment-level means, standard ...

The Quantitative Ecology Lab research spans topics as diverse as forest demography, functional traits, canopy structure and change due to succession, spatial patterns and shifts of temperate and tropical forest tree species, and how climate change influences carbon stocks and fluxes in these systems. This work combines field research, advanced statistical analyses and computer simulations, and ...

Documenting the extent of these impacts requires quantitative tools for analyses of ecological observations to distinguish climate impacts in noisy data and to understand interactions between climate variability and other drivers of change. To assist the development of reliable statistical approaches, we review the marine climate change ...

Subject Summary. Quantitative Environmental Sciences (QES) is designed to integrate the physics, maths, biology, and chemistry behind environmental issues and models of environmental systems. Students explore how Natural Sciences are instrumental in solving the real-world problems that we are currently facing and will continue to face in the ...

Meta-analysis is a quantitative way of synthesizing results from multiple studies to obtain reliable evidence of an intervention or phenomenon. Indeed, an increasing number of meta-analyses are conducted in environmental sciences, and resulting meta-analytic evidence is often used in environmental policies and decision-making. We conducted a survey of recent meta-analyses in environmental ...

Quantitative research explains phenomena by collecting numerical unchanging d etailed data t hat. are analyzed using mathematically based methods, in particular statistics that pose questions of ...

Hydro power equipment can block migratory fish like salmon from being able to reproduce, causing fisheries to suffer. Even solar power can block sunlight from reaching plants. Developing a truly green future means identifying these potential threats and figuring out how to reduce or eliminate them. 4. Urban Ecology.

STUDY AREA. The BRB (107°32′-110°11′E, 34°-37°19′N) is the second largest tributary of the Yellow River with a total length of 680 km and drainage area of 26 900 km2 (Fig.1). It originates from Dingbian country of Shaanxi Province, which flows through Wuqi, Zhidan, etc., into the Weihe River in the southeast of Dali country.

environmental science was investigated. A quantitative reasoning (QR) learning progression was created with three progress variables: quantification act, quantitative interpretation, and quantitative modeling. An iterative research design was used as it is the standard method for the development of learning progressions.

Quantitative study on environment and energy information for land use planning scenarios in eco-city planning stage. Author links open overlay panel In-Ae Yeo, Eunok Lee. ... Therefore, the outputs of this research are provided as E-GIS DBs for planning stages, planning scenarios, the database of urban climate and energy demand prediction, and ...

Quantitative analysis of environmental protection behavior is not aimed to create something new and original, but for the requirement of sustainable development for human beings. ... Application of the theory of planned behavior in environmental science: A comprehensive bibliometric analysis. International Journal of Environmental Research and ...

The MPhil in Quantitative Climate and Environmental Sciences is a 10-month cross-departmental programme in the School of the Physical Sciences which aims to provide education of the highest quality in the analysis and modelling of Earth's climate and environment at a master's level. The programme covers a range of skills required for the ...

Master the fundamental math skills necessary to quantify andevaluate a broad range of environmental questions. Environmental issues are often quantitative--how much land, howmany people, what amount of pollution. Computer programs areuseful, but there is no substitute for being able to use a simplecalculation to slice through to the crux of the problem. Having agrasp of how the factors ...

Whereas environmental science scholarship and advocacy has traditionally focused on ecocentric environmental issues (e.g., industrial pollution, flooding, drought), ... They conducted a national survey to explore that research question in a quantitative manner. That survey was developed not only in light of these previous findings in the ...
