Environmental and Resource Management Under Myopia [PDF]

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2006
Myopia is important in environmental and resource management problems because they often involve intertemporal decisions over a long time horizon. We present a parsimonious extension of a standard dynamic programming equation in a continuous time and continuous state setting, which enables rich description of myopic behavior.

MANAGING ENVIRONMENTAL FLOWS AND WATER RESOURCES [PDF]

WIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environment, 2018
Construction of two dams on the Nueces River reduced environmental flow to the Nueces Marsh causing ecosystem degradation. A pipeline was built to enhance flows and restore hydrological connections between the river and marsh. Sediment and water quality has been monitored in Rincon Bayou since the pipeline was operational in 2009.
