Sustainable Communities Leadership Program Education and Training Overview The Sustainable Communties Leadership Program (SCLP) promotes sustainable communities by developing the next generation of diverse leaders through experience, mentoring and shared learning. SCLP Fellows consistently share that some of the most enlightening experiences they had were learning from the experiences, knowledge and perspective of other Fellows and Project Advisors. By its nature sustainability draws on a variety of models and traditions. The SCLP curriculum will interweave reading and assignments based on project work with activities and trainings geared to build leadership skills and broaden participant awareness of sustainability and its challenges. The curriculum seeks to touch upon the following things and will remain flexible enough to respond to participant needs on a session-to-session basis: Facilitative Leadership and Collaborative Problem Solving The underpinnings of the SCLP leadership model focus on self-awareness and developing the skills necessary to both acknowledge multiple (often divergent) points of view and come to mutually agreeable solutions. Organizational Learning Developed by Peter Senge at MIT, organizational learning has been used by countless organizations and corporations to provide a richer context for problem solving on both a personal and organization level. It is an excellent tool for illustrating the power of collaboration and the wisdom of systems thinking.

The material within this Handbook will hopefully answer most of your questions about our graduate program. Please read it - it is a valuable resource and it was put together especially for you, the graduate students of the Department of Geography. AREAS OF EMPHASIS The Geography Department at UCSB offers specialized graduate training leading to the Masters and Ph.D. degrees. Areas of concentration include: EARTH SYSTEM SCIENCE (ESS): This systematic area emphasizes the measurements, analysis, and modeling of hydrologic, atmospheric, oceanic, and terrestrial systems and the interactions between systems. A large proportion of the problems addressed by researchers in ESS involve three common elements: large regional issues; mathematical and computational modeling; and large, spatially-indexed datasets. HUMAN-ENVIRONMENT RELATIONS (HER): This systematic area covers the major components of Human Geography offered by the Department, including: human spatial behavior; spatial decision making and decision support; spatial and geographic cognition; urban and regional modeling, planning, and policy; human movement and transportation systems; resource and environmental management; environmental ethics; human response to the changing environment.

Contact us This interdisciplinary study of the disruptions threatening aquatic systems in Africa provides a continent-wide perspective on multidimensional environmental problems in the context of a rapidly expanding human population. Contributors confront both local and international water resource issues in Africa, illustrate commonalities among countries, and examine varied approaches used to solve water resource management problems. Linking social and natural sciences in diverse environmental and social settings at different scales of analysis (historical, regional, and ecosystem), the contributors identify regional issues and detect generalities to provide a baseline for decision making in the 21st century.

Bureau of Public Affairs Press Relations Office Press Releases (Other) July Media Note Office of the Spokesman Washington, DC July 11, 2001 Department of State’s Fulbright Program Joins Organization of American States in New Ecology Initiative for the Western Hemisphere The Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs is pleased to announce an agreement with the Organization of American States that would nearly double the number of participants in the Fulbright ecology programs for countries of the Western Hemisphere. The cost-sharing agreement will increase the number of grantees from an average of 12 per year to 20 per year, and will expand the pool of potential candidates to all Organization of American States (OAS) member countries with Fulbright Program representation. The OAS, a regional organization of 34 democratic states of the Western Hemisphere, will participate through its Inter-American Agency for Cooperation and Development (IACD). The Fulbright-OAS Ecology Initiative will be administered by LASPAU: Academic and Professional Programs for the Americas, a signatory to the agreement. The existing programs, the Amazon Basin Program and the Caribbean-Central American Ecology Program, offer Fulbright graduate study and enhancement workshops designed to expand the pool of professionals in the region in fields related to environmental preservation and sustainable development; to introduce them to one another and to U.S. counterparts; and to return them to work on vital regional issues that transcend national boarders. These programs, involving 117 ecologists to date, have been in place for ten years and serve 17 countries in two large regions within the hemisphere.

The Historical Ecology of Global Climate Change Brief summary of Historical Ecology a Multidimensional Ecological Orientation In: Cultural Knowledge and Changing Landscapes . Chapter 1, Carole Crumley Santa Fe: School of American research, 1996 Introduction The assumption that "culture has triumphed over nature," is mistaken, and characterizes an outdated nature-culture dualism. While in Anthropological human evolution textbooks the first part of the story is couched in evolutionary and environmental terms, the second part denies the environment a meaningful role in human history. Instead values, beliefs and issues, history, and culture constitute the key elements of the explanatory framework. This also reflected in the disciplinary separation of archeologist/physical anthropologists versus sociocultural anthropologists: neither acknowledges their mutual reliance. Few efforts have been made that incorporate information about how humans have altered the environment or about how environmental change revised human activity. Examples of such changes are subsistence strategies, demographical patterns, and perceptions. To achieve this, there exists a need to develop a multidisciplinary framework. Multidisciplinarity in science is, and has been difficult to establish (Snow). Anthropology plays an important role in the development of such an framework. Its current perspective is integrative and comparative; inclusive of temporal, spatial and cultural dimensions; and dynamic. It motivates an historical focus on the dynamics of change.

Synopsis: Relationships between human health and anthropogenic physical environmental change are explored, with emphasis on global and regional environmental change and how this manifests at a local level in both individuals and populations, within rural and metropolitan contexts. The role of health professionals and policy makers is explored with students reflecting on their own personal viewpoints and practice as professional global citizens. Local and regional issues relevant to professional practice are placed in the larger global context. An ecological perspective of health is applied to a range of issues using multidisciplinary approaches including epidemiological and social models of health. Objectives: 1. Discuss specific examples of direct and indirect effects of anthropogenic environmental change on human health 2. Critically analyse processes of interaction between anthropogenic environmental change and human health at a local, regional and global level using ecological perspectives on health and the physical environment. 3. Examine the rural and urban contexts as factors influencing health effects of environmental change and understand differences between and within these contexts. 4. Critically analyse strategies for dealing with lack of evidence, conflicting evidence and uncertainty. 5. Reflect on the impact of studying this unit on your own professional practice and personal perspectives. 6. Undertake an ecological analysis of a selected issue and develop recommendations that will help to improve practice.
