Comparison between the subsurface environment of brown trout (Salmo trutta) redd and nonredd sites in two North Carolina streams
… environment of 30 brown trout (Salmo trutta) redds and adjacent nonredd sites in two western North Carolina streams were studied during the incubation period in 1979-1980 and 1980-1981. Intragravel water temperature, dissolved oxygen concentration, and percent oxygen saturation were highly …

Forest conservation through voluntary carbon offsetting interventions
… from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) refers to a diversity of mechanisms to help conserve and restore tropical forests, involving local, subnational or national initiatives to support on-the-ground sustainable management and conservation. REDD+ represents a move to support …

Towards the design of a reflexive regulatory framework to "Reduce and control emissions from land deforestation and degradation and enhancing carbon stocks" (REDD+): a perspective from select developing countries
REDD+ has emerged as one of the governance approaches to address climate change. It calls for developing countries to take part in a second commitment period for a post-2020 climate change regime under the auspices of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and outside …

Glocalizing Forests: Transnational Networks and the Geography of Global Climate Policy
… Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation(REDD+), a popular initiative which aims to support forest conservation withclimate mitigation funds, provides an excellent example of the promises and pitfalls of thinking about climate policy from the perspective of the messy networksof …

Portfolio diversification utilising rolling economic drawdown constraints and risk factor analysis
… Factor Adjusted Rolling Economic Drawdown (FAREDD), whereby resources are allocated to different assets by way of integrating Principle Component Analysis (PCA) with existing Rolling Economic Drawdown Methods (REDD). The primary purpose of this model is to create a portfolio with low drawdown …

Enabling Validation of a CubeSat Compatible Wind Sensor
The Ram Energy Distribution Detector (REDD) is a new CubeSat-compatible space science instrument that measures neutral wind characteristics in the upper atmosphere. Neutral gas interactions with plasma in the ionosphere/thermosphere are responsible for spacecraft drag, radio frequency disturbances …

An investigation of the impact of redd washout, fine sediment infiltration and variations in water chemistry during egg incubation on juvenile production of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.)
… of this work was to establish if current redd washout and variations in water chemistry, during the spawning season through to emergence of alevin, is responsible for apparent reductions in juvenile Atlantic salmon, thereby lowering adult populations returning to the River Sligachan, on …

Carbon offsets as a cost containment instrument : a case study of reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation
… from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD) as a case study example. My results show that carbon offsets reduce upside costs and thus can be an alternative cost-containment instrument, but cost-effectiveness can be limited by supply uncertainties, offset purchasing restrictions, …
