"No more canaries in the coal mine!": reimagining the lead-poisoning risk-subject and possibilities for change
No full textDespite federal, state and municipal policies implemented since the early 20th century to reduce the prevalence of lead poisoning there are still many people living in the United States who are at-risk of being exposed to lead. In an effort to reduce lead poisoning risk further in the United States this thesis examines how various lead poisoning experts in Mercer County, New Jersey define and perceive the “lead-poisoning risk-subject.” By means of analyzing how lead poisoning experts perceive the risk of lead poisoning this research works towards understanding and deconstructing the underlying assumptions pervading within experts’ discourses surrounding who lead effects, where it is most prevalent, and what the most effective solutions are in reducing the sources of lead exposure. This research adds to the current lead poisoning literature by means of pointing out the limitations of using risk factors to define lead poisoning risk and offering a new framework through which lead poisoning risk may be more productively measured. Furthermore, this research argues that in order for there to be a permanent reduction of the sources of lead exposure the “lead problem” needs to be re-politicized and constructed as a problem which effects a variety of people living across geographical, racial and class boundaries. By means of making lead poisoning into a problem the public can “see” we may be able to truly make lead poisoning a thing of the past.M.A.Includes bibliographical referencesby Rachel L. Sutto

Open access self-archiving: An author study
No full textThis, our second author international, cross-disciplinary study on open access had 1296 respondents. Its focus was on self-archiving. Almost half (49%) of the respondent population have self-archived at least one article during the last three years. Use of institutional repositories for this purpose has doubled and usage has increased by almost 60% for subject-based repositories. Self-archiving activity is greatest amongst those who publish the largest number of papers. There is still a substantial proportion of authors unaware of the possibility of providing open access to their work by self-archiving. Of the authors who have not yet self-archived any articles, 71% remain unaware of the option. With 49% of the author population having self-archived in some way, this means that 36% of the total author population (71% of the remaining 51%), has not yet been appraised of this way of providing open access. Authors have frequently expressed reluctance to self-archive because of the perceived time required and possible technical difficulties in carrying out this activity, yet findings here show that only 20% of authors found some degree of difficulty with the first act of depositing an article in a repository, and that this dropped to 9% for subsequent deposits. Another author worry is about infringing agreed copyright agreements with publishers, yet only 10% of authors currently know of the SHERPA/RoMEO list of publisher permissions policies with respect to self-archiving, where clear guidance as to what a publisher permits is provided. Where it is not known if permission is required, however, authors are not seeking it and are self-archiving without it. Communicating their results to peers remains the primary reason for scholars publishing their work; in other words,
researchers publish to have an impact on their field. The vast majority of authors (81%) would willingly comply with a mandate from their employer or research funder to deposit copies of their articles in an institutional or subject-based repository. A further 13% would comply reluctantly; 5% would not comply with such a mandate
Characterization of Recent Earthquake Sequences and Swarms Within the Walker Lane Tectonic Region
No full textWe use a variety of techniques, starting with precise earthquake relocation to characterize the spatio-temporal evolution of sequences and swarms within the Walker Lane tectonic region, investigating fault structure and earthquake interaction. This dissertation consists of 3 chapters as well as appendices (A-C) which contribute additional results. For the 2017 Truckee sequence, we use relocation and source parameter analysis to investigate fault structure and earthquake interaction of small-magnitude earthquakes. Two high-angle, left-lateral strike-slip earthquakes (Mw 3.65 foreshock and Mw 3.85 mainshock), occurred 7 min apart, ∼20 km north of Truckee, California, on 27 June 2017. We relocate 50 out of 52 earthquakes which define a single structure between 5 and 6 km depth, trending ∼N45°E and dipping ∼70°–80° to the northwest, matching well with both moment tensor solutions and first-motion focal mechanisms. We observe average stress drops of ∼5 MPa using P and S waves and spatial variation related to the rupture areas of the foreshock and mainshock. We are able to detect components of directivity toward the northeast for the foreshock (Mw 3.65) and directivity toward the southwest for the mainshock (Mw 3.85), both aligning with the fault plane. Our study of the 2014 Virginia City Swarm reveals complex structural features, including an interplay of both fluid‐driven and aseismic‐driven earthquake migration near Virginia City, NV over ~10 days in January 2014. We relocate 305 events to reveal three separate, well‐defined planar structures. We observe the spatio-temporal characteristics which initially expose migration rates consistent with pore fluid diffusion, outlining a moderately dipping plane. The earthquakes then jump to a vertical plane and migrate at a higher rate; the sequence continues to migrate rapidly onto a third, shallowly dipping plane, consistent with rates observed elsewhere associated with aseismic creep. Focal mechanisms indicate right‐lateral strike slip on the vertical plane and both normal and left‐lateral strike slip movement on the other planes, and the newly imaged structures illuminate the orientation of active faults at depth in the Walker Lane tectonic region. The Nine Mile Ranch sequence began on Dec. 28th, 2016 with a multiplet of three moderate sized earthquakes (Mw 5.6, Mw 5.4, and an Mw 5.5) southwest of Hawthorne, NV, and all within one hour. In this study, we use earthquake relocation to detect active structures and characterize the spatio-temporal evolution and mechanics of the sequence. We combine the results with GPS analyses to investigate characteristics of faulting and tectonics of the Walker Lane. We relocate over 6000 events from the sequence, with structures matching moment tensor solutions and focal mechanisms indicating predominantly right- and left-lateral strike-slip and few normal ruptures. Results reveal orthogonal conjugate structures – one trending ~N57W and dipping to the northeast, and one trending ~N33E, vertical-dipping fault plane at the southern terminus of the NW trending fault plane. Our analysis and Coulomb model shows that the initial event likely occurred on the left-lateral NE fault plane. GPS analyses indicate a transtensional environment, with the coseismic offset of the closest four GPS stations slightly misaligned with the long term average strain tensor. The NMR sequence was likely driven by tectonics, and the multiplet of events may be related to static stress changes and fault readiness. Unmapped faults, fault complexity, and the dip of the faults at depth can assist us in estimating the potential for hazard in other basins within the Walker Lane. Structurally, orthogonal conjugate faulting in this sequence may be due to shear band formation below the brittle crust. These analyses illustrate details for modeling hazard which include fault geometry, local earthquake drivers, source properties and rupture directivity. By documenting these variables consistently, we can establish a baseline of observations for future work. We also gain insights to the variable nature of Walker Lane seismicity, as well as understanding earthquake physics and interaction that are observed throughout the world
