Abstract This research aims to understand how frontline communities and community‐based organizations (CBOs) that serve them conceptualize themselves, their communities, success, and their needs. Frontline communities experience the “first and worst” impacts of climate change due to industrialization, pollution, changing ecosystems, and other societal ...

Advances in the Biogeochemical Role of Microorganisms in High‐Level Waste Repository
This review discusses the role of microorganisms in the stability of deep geological repositories for high‐level radioactive waste (HLW). It highlights the survival conditions and sources of microorganisms, their effects on repository structures, and the biogeochemical processes they induce.

Yearly report, Yucca Mountain project
We proposed to (1) Develop our data logging and analysis equipment and techniques for analyzing seismic data from the Southern Great Basin Seismic Network (SGBSN), (2) Investigate the SGBSN data for evidence of seismicity patterns, depth distribution patterns, and correlations with geologic features (3) Repair and maintain our three broad band downhole

Eastern Joshua Tree Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Largely Consistent Across Roots, Soils, and Seasons
Eastern Joshua tree associating arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi increase spore abundance and species richness after summer rains. A majority of species are shared between root and soil samples, and most taxa are present in all four seasons. Yet, few species are shared with the closely related Western Joshua tree.

Assessing uncertainty in forecasts of refugia for Joshua trees using high‐density distribution data
Abstract Joshua trees (Yucca brevifolia and Yucca jaegeriana) are iconic, foundational species of the Mojave and Sonoran Deserts in North America. Due to their ecosystem importance, long generation times, and low resilience to disturbance, these hybridizing sister species are increasingly the focus of conservation efforts.
