Time spent in nature is related to improvement in psychological well-being and health, yet most American adults spend very little time in such settings. Recent research from CSDE Affiliate Gregory Bratman and a number of co-authors explores and evaluates a number of self-efficacy and intention measures which are important to facilitate interventions and are strong predictors of health behaviors.

Allocating reservoir flows to meet societal and ecosystem needs under increasing water demands and climatic variability presents challenges to resource managers. Often, rivers have been regulated to meet flow and temperature compliance points or mimic historical patterns. In a new publication, CSDE Affiliate James Anderson and several co-authors describe a model for fish incubation survival based on the premise that mortality from thermal stress occurs over a critical window of embryo development.
