SUMMARY:The Role of Preferential Sampling
DESCRIPTION:  \nSponsored by UCLA Departments of Statistics and Biostatistics and the UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability. \nAbstract: The notion of preferential sampling was introduced into the literature in the seminal paper of Diggle et al. (2010) Subsequently\, there has been considerable follow-up research. A standard illustration arises in geostatistical modeling. Consider the objective of inferring about environmental exposures. If environmental monitors are only placed in locations where environmental levels tend to be high\, then interpolation based upon observations from these locations will necessarily produce only high predictions. A remedy lies in the suitable spatial design of the locations\, e.g.\, a random or space-filling design for locations over the region of interest is expected to preclude such bias. However\, in practice\, sampling may be designed in order to learn about areas of high exposure. \nWhile the set of sampling locations may not have been developed randomly\, we study it as if it was a realization of a spatial point process. That is\, it may be designed/specified in some fashion but not necessarily with the intention of being roughly uniformly distributed over D. Then\, the question becomes a stochastic one: is the realization of the responses independent of the realization of the locations? If no\, then we have what is called preferential sampling. Importantly\, the dependence here is stochastic dependence. Notationally/functionally\, the responses are associated with the locations. \nAnother setting is the case of species distribution modeling with a binary response\, presence or absence\, recorded at locations. Here\, bias can arise when sampling is designed such that ecologists will tend to sample where they expect to find individuals. This setting can be extended to data fusion where we have both presence/absence data and presence-only data. Other potential applications include missing data settings and hedonic modeling for price with property sales. Very recent work explores preferential sampling in the context of multivariate geostatistical modeling. \nFundamental issues are: (i) can we identify the occurrence of a preferential sampling effect\, (ii) can we adjust inference in the presence of preferential sampling\, and (iii) when can such adjustment improve predictive performance over a customary geostatistical model? We consider these issues in a modeling context and illustrate with application to presence/absence data\, to property sales\, and to tree data where we observe mean diameter at breast height (MDBH) and trees per hectare (TPH). (This is joint work with Shinichiro Shirota and Lucia Paci.)

SUMMARY:First Hand Account of the Enactment of the 1972 Clean Water Act
DESCRIPTION:The Clean Water Act Celebrates 50 Years \nAfter the failure of five earlier federal laws and worsening water pollution across the nation\, Congress\, in 1972 and over the Presidents veto\, enacted the Clean Water Act PL 92-500. The Clean Water Act fundamentally reoriented the regulatory approach to water pollution control.  The fact that now\, 50 years later\, the nation’s waters are cleaner\, supporting much healthier ecosystems\, is a testament to its effectiveness. This keynote from one of the staff who assisted in crafting the CWA will look back at the circumstances\, the people and the process\, and something of the elements of the law that produced such a dramatic change in controlling water pollution. Hopefully\, this keynote will answer\, at least partially\, the “Why Then?” and “How Come?” questions many might have about a real and responsive success of Government policy. \nThis panel is co-sponsored by: Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Emmett Institute on Climate Change and the Environment  \nLunch will be provided (to those who RSVP and attend in person) after the event. \nPlease contact Heather Morphew\, morphew@law.ucla.edu with any questions.

SUMMARY:Realizing Park Equity: Improving How Federal Funds Reach Communities That Can Most Benefit
DESCRIPTION:To expand access to parks nationwide\, the Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership (ORLP) Program funds green spaces in low-income\, urban communities. While the program has supported important projects throughout the country\, program benefits could be more fully realized. For instance\, millions of grant dollars have been left on the table in recent years. Since funding for ORLP is expected to increase in the coming years\, the program can be an increasingly important resource for underserved communities. \nThis webinar will explore successes of the ORLP Program and illustrate opportunities to strengthen its impact. The discussion will feature a panel of park advocates and agency representatives\, and share findings from our recent research. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Elemental Cartographies in an Era of Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Candace Fujikane begins with arguments from her recent book\, Mapping Abundance for a Planetary Future: Kanaka Maoli and Critical Settler Cartographies in Hawaiʻi\, contending that global climate change events are not apocalyptic but rather are bringing about the demise of capitalist economies of scarcity\, making way for Indigenous economies of abundance. She will present a preview of her new book\, Elemental Cartographies for a Changing Earth. Kanaka Maoli identify 400\,000 akua or elemental forms and energies\, including the 300 winds of the island of Kanaloa Kahoʻolawe. From 1941 to 1990\, the US Navy used the island as a bombing target\, with the devastating effect of cracking the water table. In the exhausted cartographies of militarized capital\, only 9% of subsurface lands has been cleared of unexploded ordnance. The PKO practitioners\, however\, have long stood to protect the island\, transforming the symbol of the target into a much more generative image of the piko\, the umbilicus that enables the people to be pili (connected) to the akua\, the kūpuna (ancestors)\, and to the pulapula (the seedling descendants to come). Ancestral archives of elemental cartographies map the winds of Kanaloa Kahoʻolawe\, enabling the greening of the island to attract and birth clouds and to manifest decolonial and abolitionist futures.

SUMMARY:Housing As a Climate Strategy - A Virtual Roundtable Event
DESCRIPTION:In the face of converging climate and housing crises\, we have the opportunity to pursue strategies that achieve housing and climate goals simultaneously. Building housing-rich\, walkable neighborhoods in transportation-efficient areas is a climate smart solution. It can help reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and greenhouse gas emissions\, support sustainable land use\, and preserve open space for wildlife and agriculture. \nWe will hear from Howard Penn\, Executive Director of the Planning and Conservation League\, on smart planning for reducing VMT in rural areas and protecting habitat. Gabriel Quinto\, Mayor of El Cerrito\, will discuss a current transit-oriented development project converting parking lots to housing in alignment with the City’s Affordable Housing Strategy and Climate Action Plan. Mike McKeever\, former CEO of the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG)\, will share cutting-edge planning techniques to integrate land use\, transportation planning\, and climate goals. \nFor questions about this event\, email Haley Ausserer-Zelaya. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Climate Change and Technological Responses: A Conversation with Oliver Morton on Recent Developments
DESCRIPTION:Join Oliver Morton\, senior editor at The Economist\, in conversation with Professor Ted Parson about recent developments in efforts to employ technology to reduce the risks of climate change.  Global temperatures are on track to exceed the targets adopted in the Paris Agreement\, and the world’s efforts to keep to within those limits remain anemic.  Hear from two leading experts on potential responses\, including recent initiatives to assess the prospect of solar geoengineering and carbon dioxide removal technologies.  \nOliver Morton is a senior editor at The Economist who in his own writing concentrates on scientific and technological change and their effects. He is the author of four acclaimed books on the history\, understanding and imagining of planetary processes: Mapping Mars: Science\, Imagination and the Birth of a World (2002); Eating the Sun: How Plants Power the Planet (2007); The Planet Remade: How Geoengineering Could Change the World (2015); and The Moon: A History for the Future (2019). Asteroid 10716 Olivermorton is named after him. \nTed Parson is the Dan and Rae Emmett Professor of Environmental Law and Faculty Director of the Emmett Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at UCLA Law.  \nLunch to be provided with RSVP. \nREGISTER HERE
