TRIBES, AIR QUALITY, AND THE NATIONAL TRIBAL ENVIRONMENTAL COUNCIL |
21-WTR Natural Resources & Environment 43 (Winter, 2007) |

UPSTREAM OF PERIL: THE ROLE OF FEDERAL LANDS IN ADDRESSING THE EXTINCTION CRISIS |
24 Pace Environmental Law Review 1 (Winter 2007) |
This talk developed in part from a dialogue--a monologue really--that I had with my car radio. I have a forty-minute commute through a rural part of Vermont. Cell phone reception is non-existent or lousy, and radio stations alternate among the earnest droning of the local National Public Radio outlet, occasional wafts of world music with ads in... |

WATER REGULATION, LAND USE AND THE ENVIRONMENT |
30 University of Hawaii Law Review 49 (Winter 2007) |
Water is an important element in planning for the use of land. But it is only one element. Problems arise in the planning process when water and non-economic uses of water are given a sacrosanct status that abjures private use for the benefit of the public. This is increasingly happening under flawed interpretations of the public trust doctrine.... |

WATER TRANSFERS: THE CASE AGAINST TRANSBASIN DIVERSIONS IN THE EASTERN STATES |
25 UCLA Journal of Environmental Law & Policy 249 (2006-2007) |
Water policy in the western states consistently has embraced a nineteenth century, supply-side mentality, requiring cities and other water providers to satisfy an ever-growing demand for water at virtually any cost. As a result, the western states rely upon thousands of engineered water transfers--even siphoning water from one side of mountain... |

WHEN IS TWO A CROWD? THE IMPACT OF FEDERAL ACTION ON STATE ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION |
31 Harvard Environmental Law Review 67 (2007) |
Up until the 1970s, environmental protection largely consisted of a patchwork of state laws, local ordinances and common law nuisance protections.

Widely touted as the last unknown in the field of world exploration, Papua New Guinea (PNG) is a nation that--although colonized beginning in the late nineteenth century by a parade of European nations (including Germany, Great Britain, and Australia)--has had late and limited contact with the global economy.
