Dr. Steven Steinberg and Dr. Sheila Steinberg
Environmental Science & Management
The Steinbergs are pleased to announce the release of their new edited volume, Resilient Communities across Geographies (Esri Press, 2021). The book presents a collection of case studies examining the application of geographic information systems (GIS) to environmental and socioeconomic challenges for analysis, planning, and, ultimately, more resilient communities. Each chapter explores a spatially driven approach to challenges of environments and communities working to achieve and support resilience.
Susan Edinger Marshall
Forestry, Fire & Rangeland Management
"Undergraduate Soil Science Training in the USA," was recently published in the Soil Science Society of America Journal. Co-author Susan Edinger Marshall discovered that Humboldt State University is among only four universities in California (and 15 in the eleven Western States) that offer sufficient coursework for graduates to qualify as federal Soil Scientists CSA (Crop Soil Agronomy) News featured this article in their December 2020 issue.

Alison O'Dowd
Environmental Science & Management
ESM Professor Alison O'Dowd was invited to give a talk at Portland State University on "Impacts of dams and an opportunity for renewal: Case studies of the Elwha and Klamath River Dams" on November 13, 2020.
Mark Colwell, Chelsea Polevy and Hannah LeWinter
Wildlife
Mark Colwell, Chelsea Polevy and Hannah LeWinter published the last of three papers summarizing the importance of Humboldt Bay to shorebirds along the Pacific America’s Flyway. Their work, funded by Audubon California, shows that the bay hosts a diverse (52 species) and abundant (~850,000 individuals) assemblage of mostly sandpipers and plovers rear-round, justifying its designation as a site of international importance under the Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network.
