Looking Back: The Civilian Conservation Corps and The National Forests
Called the CCC from the beginning, the name was not officially changed until 1937. The CCC era technically ended on June 30, 1943, but all the camps and personnel had been disbanded and discharged by October 1942. One national emergency, the Great Depression, inspired the CCC while another, the nation’s entry into World War II, closed the CCC era.

A CCC company consisted of about 200 men, although several
women’s camps existed in northeastern states, enrolling 8,500 women
before being eliminated in 1937.

Future of Fish
Environmental decline, over-fishing, and inept fisheries management have led experts to conclude that within 30 to 40 years many wild fish species will be extinct if we don’t change the way we fish and consume. The decimation of fish will have catastrophic effects on the billions of people who rely on fish for livelihood and sustenance, as well as the fragile marine ecosystem. Already, 80 percent of the world’s marine stocks are overexploited or at their catch limits

Spatial Analysis and Decision Assistance (SADA) Software Home Page
Spatial Analysis and Decision Assistance (SADA) is free software that incorporates tools from environmental assessment fields into an effective problem solving environment. These tools include integrated modules for visualization, geospatial analysis, statistical analysis, human health risk assessment, ecological risk assessment, cost/benefit analysis, sampling design, and decision analysis. The capabilities of SADA can be used independently or collectively to address site specific concerns when characterizing a contaminated site, assessing risk, determining the location of future samples, and when designing remedial action. A fully functional freeware version is available on the download page of this web site. SADA is developed in The Institute for Environmental Modeling at the University of Tennessee .
GeoDa Center
The GeoDa Center for Geospatial Analysis and Computation develops state-of-the-art methods for geospatial analysis, geovisualization, geosimulation, and spatial process modeling, implements them through software tools, applies them to policy-relevant research in the social and environmental sciences, and disseminates them through training and support to a growing worldwide community.
Welcome to the Circuitscape Project!
Circuitscape is a free, open-source program which borrows algorithms from electronic circuit theory to predict patterns of movement, gene flow, and genetic differentiation among plant and animal populations in heterogeneous landscapes. Circuit theory complements least-cost path approaches because it considers effects of all possible pathways across a landscape simultaneously. We are developing Circuitscape for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux.

Gifford Pinchot National Forest
The origins of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest are firmly rooted in the great national conservation movement that swept this country at the beginning of the 20th century. The story of its creation involves two men who were among the foremost leaders of that movement: Gifford Pinchot and Theodore Roosevelt. Working together, Pinchot, Chief of the Forest Service, and Roosevelt, as President, had set aside millions of acres of new national forest lands in 1907. By proclamation, Roosevelt established the vast Rainier National Forest along half the length of the Cascade Range in Washington. To better administer these lands, the southern portion of the Rainier became a new national Forest in 1908. With the stroke of a pen, President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 820, creating the Columbia National Forest on July 1, 1908. Encompassing 941,000 acres, the boundaries extended along the crest of the Cascade Range from Mt. Adams to the Columbia River, and west to Mount St. Helens.

Journal of Ecological Anthropology
The Journal of Ecological Anthropology (JEA) is a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary forum for innovative exploration of the interface between humans and their sociocultural and biophysical environments. Subject areas include, but are not limited to, human population ecology, historical ecology, evolution of human ecosystems, anthropology of development and conservation, ethnobiology and comparative indigenous knowledge systems, ecology of health and nutrition, paleoecology, complex systems, primate socioecology, and information ecology.

Society of Anthropology in Journalism
The goal of this society is to promote the awareness of current, relevant, innovative anthropology related articles. Articles are taken from, but not limited to professional journals, periodicals, newspapers as well as popular magazines. A handful of articles are picked, displayed, and updated every month. Also a monthly discussion group on article topics (over coffee at a local café) for interested students will be started soon.
