Assessing New Jersey's Exposure to Sea-Level Rise and Coastal Storms: A Companion Report to the New Jersey Climate Adaptation Alliance Science and Technical Advisory Panel Report
No full textThe New Jersey Climate Adaptation Alliance Advisory Committee requested that Rutgers University convene a Science and Technical Advisory Panel (STAP) to synthesize for practitioners the most recent climate science needed to inform efforts to increase the resilience of New Jersey’s people, places, and assets (including infrastructure, communities and natural resources) to regional sea-level rise (SLR), changing coastal storms and the resulting flood risk. This companion report to the STAP report provides context for New Jersey citizens, practitioners, and decision makers to better understand how New Jersey municipal decision makers and municipal professionals consider the use of coastal hazard data; how climate change impacts from sea-level rise and changes in coastal storms are being addressed in some other areas of the Northeast; and the degree to which coastal climate change impacts are currently being addressed in New Jersey.Please cite this report as: Kaplan, M., M.

Marshall H. Kaplan
No full textMarshall H. Kaplan, Ph.D., is a Visiting Professor of Aerospace Engineering. He is an expert in space flight technologies, orbital mechanics and space debris issues. In fact, he was the first to study space junk retrieval and was instrumental in the safe reentry of the Skylab Space Station in 1979. He has over four decades of academic and industrial experience, having served as Professor of Aerospace Engineering at the Pennsylvania State University and presented hundreds of courses on space technology and systems. In addition to publishing over 100 papers, reports and articles on aerospace technologies, he is the author of several books, including the internationally used text, Modern Spacecraft Dynamics and Control. Dr. Kaplan is a member of the AIAA Technical Committee on Space Transportation and holds advanced degrees from MIT and Stanford University.https://commons.erau.edu/stm-images/1014/thumbnail.jp

Ethics for helping professionals: Teaching a framework that supports collaborative ethical decision-making
No full textSocial work professionals are often employed in interdisciplinary settings with nursing, psychology, medical, and psychiatric professionals. All of these professions have commonality in their codes of ethics such as the primary principle that we work for the client or patient’s benefit. However, we also know that these same codes do not specifically address ethical dilemmas and their resolution (ACA, 2014, ANA, 2011, AMA/ APA, 2013, AMA,2001, APA, 2010, NASW, 2015). There are numerous decision making models that can be used as a step-by-step process in deciding what to do when confronted by a dilemma (Congress, 1996; Strom-Gottfried, 2007). All of these tools are helpful, but challenges in the process of determining what to do remain.
This workshop provides a new model for teaching ethics and ethical decision-making in social work education. It is a change from using a values perspective as the starting point in ethical decision making to a perspective in which we consider harms all helping professionals should strive to avoid (Bryan, Sanders, & Kaplan, 2015). We suggest that focus upon what actions one should avoid, what one ought not do, can finally provide the conceptual and analytic clarity needed to address moral problems and foster a more meaningful collaborative approach with other disciplines in working through these problems
gTime, gDate, and a gCalendar
No full textThe emergence of a cuberconnected Global Village demonstrates the need for a universal time for global events. A professor at the Indian Institute of Management in Ahmedabad argues that we need to delink the measurement of time from geography. Starting with a review of the Concept of Time in Philosophy, Physics, Biology and Psychology, the paper argues that the availability of Cyber-connectivity and the emergence of the Global Village have highlighted the need for a universal time frame for global events. It additionally argues that the need extends beyond a universal time and encompasses the issues of date and calendar. It further argues that introducing this change may require de-linking of the time measurement from the geo-link and may also raise doubts about the assumed time-space singularity. The paper suggests that the representatives of the world arrive at an agreement to introduce a new epoch that gives a single precise portrayal of the global events. This is essential, as the global events have moved beyond the scientific domain and come in to the social and legal domain.
Assessing New Jersey's Exposure to Sea-Level Rise and Coastal Storms: Report of the New Jersey Climate Adaptation Alliance Science and Technical Advisory Panel
No full textIn response to a stakeholder engagement process between 2012 and 2014, Rutgers University, on behalf of the NJ Climate Adaptation Alliance (NJCAA), convened a Science and Technical Advisory Panel (STAP) to help identify planning options for practitioners to enhance the resilience of New Jersey’s people, places, and assets to regional sea-level rise (SLR), coastal storms, and the resulting flood risk. The STAP’s charge was to identify and evaluate the most current science on sea-level rise projections and changing coastal storms, consider the implications for the practices and policies of local and regional stakeholders, and provide practical options for stakeholders to incorporate science into risk-based decision processes. This report summarizes the deliberations of the STAP.This work was supported by Kresge Foundation, the New Jersey Sea Grant Consortium, and the Rutgers Climate Institute

An examination of policy options for achieving greenhouse gas emissions reductions in New Jersey
No full textThis report explores policy options for the State of New Jersey in advancing statutory limits to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Recognizing that it has been a decade since the passage of the New Jersey Global Warming Response Act (N.J.S.A. 26:2C-37), this report examines five critical issues with respect to attainment of the statewide limits:
Whether the limits are still appropriate limits reflecting scientific consensus;
The status of New Jersey's current greenhouse gas emissions in relation to such limits;
The status of New Jersey's legal and policy framework for addressing greenhouse gas emissions;
Leading mitigation policies in other states that could be applicable to New Jersey; and
What policies offer opportunities to improve conditions in communities that currently bear disproportionate environmental burdens in New Jersey that are likely to be exacerbated by a changing climate.This report and our work on this project is made possible with support from The Fund for New Jersey, Energy Foundation, and Rutgers Climate Institute
