Colorado Benefits Management System: Decision Time

Reduction of Computational Complexity in Finite State Automata Explosion of Networked System Diagnosis (RESEARCH NOTE)

This research puts forward rough finite state automata which have been represented by two variants of BDD called ROBDD and ZBDD. The proposed structures have been used in networked system diagnosis and can overcome cominatorial explosion. In implementation the CUDD - Colorado University Decision Diagrams package is used. A mathematical proof for claimed complexity are provided which shows ZBDD ...

Colorado Benefits Management System (C): Seven Years of Failure

Climate extremes and adaptive management on the Colorado River: lessons from the 1997-1998 ENSO event.

The Colorado River system exhibits the characteristics of a heavily over-allocated or 'closing water system'. In such systems, development of mechanisms to allow resource users to acknowledge interdependence and to engage in negotiations and agreements becomes necessary. Recently, after a decade of deliberations and environmental assessments, the Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program (GCD...

Incorporating Non-Market Values in Fire Management Planning

The increased importance of non-market values in land management planning means that fire management and planning needs to more directly and effectively incorporate them into the planning and decision-making process. This means developing better understanding of the role of non-market valuation in the context of fire effects in prevention and suppression. It also means better knowledge and syst...

Incorporating social preferences into the ecological limits ofhydrologic alteration (ELOHA): a case study in the YampaWhite River basin, Colorado

1. River management involves satisfying societal preferences alongside environmental needs for a healthy river ecosystem. Environmental flows is a discipline that aims to define streamflow requirements that achieve desired social and ecological conditions in rivers. 2. The ecological limits of hydrologic alteration (ELOHA) framework takes a regional approach towards assessing relationships betw...
