Robert E. Penn Collection
No full textThis collection contains the photographs from the life and work of Reverend Robert E. Penn, a Baptist minister and educator. Penn was born in a rural coal mining town in West Virginia, and went on to receive degrees from Clark College, Gammon Theological Seminary, and Central Baptist Theological Seminary. He was a chaplain during World War II, and later after his pastoral work in Kansas City, Kansas, and Gary, Indiana, Penn returned to Atlanta to become Director of Field Education at the Interdenominational Theological Center in 1973. These photographs document Rev. Penns family life and friend in West Virginia, Indiana, and Georgia, as well as his work as Pastor of the First Baptist Church in Gary, Indiana, and Director of Field Education at the Interdenominational Theological Seminary.
At the AUC Robert W. Woodruff Library we are always striving to improve our digital collections. We welcome additional information about people, places, or events depicted in any of the works in this collection. To submit information, please contact us at [email protected].
The Influence of the Specification of Climate Change Damages on the Social Cost of Carbon
No full textDrawing upon climate change damage specifications previously proposed in the literature that the authors have calibrated to a common level of damages at 2.5°C, the authors examine the effect upon the social cost of carbon (SCC) of varying damage specifications in a DICE-like integrated assessment model. They find that SCC estimates are highly sensitive to uncertainty in extrapolating damages to high temperatures at moderate-to-high levels of risk aversion, but only modestly so at low levels of risk aversion. While in the absence of risk aversion, all of the SCC estimates but one agree within a factor of two, with a moderate level of risk aversion included, the differences among estimates grow greatly. For example, one composite damage specification, combining elements of different literature-derived specifications and roughly taking into account calibration uncertainty, yields SCC values 32% higher than the standard quadratic DICE damage function in the absence of risk aversion. With a coefficient of relative risk aversion of 1.4, however, the same uncertain specification yields SCC values almost triple those of the standard function. The authors conclude that failure to consider damages uncertainty and risk aversion jointly can lead to significant underestimation of the SCC.Peer reviewedThe published version of this article is found at: http://www.economics-ejournal.org/economics/journalarticles/2012-1

Emerging Trends and Technologies in the Information Ecosystem, December 10, 2021
No full textPresentation: "Trends in Collections and Analytics"and "Post-COVID Academic Library Trend-forecasting with a Focus on HBCUs"December’s Emerging Trends presentations provided tips on using technology for the creation and delivery of information. Madhu Kadiyala, Robert L. Fallen, Stephanie Bernard, and Suteera Apichatabutra share their knowledge from the Collections and Content Management Department, “Trends in Collections and Analytics.” There are many trends in the field of collections in the last few years. The whole serials market has been shaken up by mass cancellations, price changes, more document delivery choices, and changes in the way serials are used. Database products are transforming from collections of articles to “one stop shops” containing e-books, conference papers, videos, and many other publication formats. New analytics tools allow us to have detailed views of usage and complex views of collections. Open access materials are becoming better and more plentiful. The market is full of mergers and company acquisitions. “Collections as a service” is a fairly new buzz word, and there are recent cooperative collection projects that aim to preserve predictable numbers of copies of printed text as libraries move to more electronic delivery. In Jessica Epstein's presentation, "Post-COVID Academic Library Trend-Forecasting with a Focus on HBCUs," she covered topics ranging from the impact of access to a physical library space, issues of digital divide, device preferences during pandemic online learning and trend forecasting for Atlanta University Center Robert W.

Does the mid-Atlantic United States sea-level acceleration hot spot reflect ocean dynamic variability?
No full textTo test a hypothesized faster-than-global sea-level acceleration along the mid-Atlantic United States, I construct a Gaussian process model that decomposes tide gauge data into short-term variability and longer-term trends, and into globally-coherent, regionally-coherent and local components. While tide gauge records indicate a faster-than-global increase in the rate of mid-Atlantic U.S. sea-level rise beginning ~1975, this acceleration could reflect either the start of a long-term trend or ocean dynamic variability. The acceleration will need to continue for ~2 decades before the rate of increase of the sea-level difference between the mid- Atlantic and southeastern U.S. can be judged as very likely unprecedented by 20th century standards. However, the difference is correlated with the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation, North Atlantic Oscillation, and Gulf Stream North Wall indices, all of which are currently within the range of past variability.Peer reviewe

The US government's social cost of carbon estimates after their first year: Pathways for improvement
No full textIn 2010, the U.S. government adopted its first consistent estimates of the social cost of carbon (SCC) for government-wide use in regulatory cost-benefit analysis. Here, we examine a number of the limitations of the estimates identified in the U.S. government report and elsewhere and review recent advances that could pave the way for improvements. We consider in turn socioeconomic scenarios, treatment of physical climate response, damage estimates, ways of incorporating risk aversion, and consistency between SCC estimates and broader climate policy
