Portraying the Geography of US Airspace with 3-Dimensional GIS-Based Analysis and Visualization
The United States identifies, monitors, and defends a vast network of controlled airspaces surrounding its own and allied territories. These controlled airspaces include civilian aviation classes (A through G), drone flying regions, and special use (military) air classifications. These controlled spaces are invisible to the naked eye and often go unnoticed. Managing and portraying data that function in two and three dimensions poses significant c…
Changing Climates, Conservation Genetics, and Protected Areas in the Northern Rockies
Parks and protected areas provide baselines for ecological restoration and conservation, even though many of these sites are heavily managed and curated spaces, subject to wide-ranging anthropogenic impacts and control. As climates change, historical baselines become less tenable, creating new geographies of conservation, many of which are reconfigured by the application of emergent genetic technologies. This shift raises challenging practical an…

Ecological Restoration, Genetics, Genomics, and Environmental Governance
Ecological restoration increasingly relies on genetic tools and technologies to identify distinct populations, monitor populations, and even modify organisms to improve fitness. In this article, we review the role of genetic and genomic technologies in restoration and conservation, using the restoration of cutthroat trout in the Western United States as one example. Reducing restoration and conservation directives to the molecular scale often rel…
Evaluating diversity, equity, and inclusivity in outdoor programs for veterans on public lands
Outdoor programs operating on U.S. public lands introduce a range of activities, settings, and therapies for veterans experiencing post-traumatic stress, injuries, or disabilities. The extent to which these programs serve diverse veteran populations is not well understood in terms of race, ethnicity, age, gender, ability, or socioeconomic status. Since governmental agencies are increasingly required to foster diversity, equity, and inclusivity, t…
Revealing vertical geopolitics: Quantifying the volume of militarised restricted airspaces in the USA using GIS
The US military maintains significant control of land and sea territory, both domestically and internationally. Extending vertically, the US military also restricts vast areas of airspace to protect its interests in training, testing, surveillance, and security. In order to convey the multidimensional extent of spatial control maintained by the US Department of Defence, in this paper we critically assess, calculate, and depict the volume of milit…
Wild, Native, or Pure: Trout as Genetic Bodies
Advances in genetics and genomics have raised new questions in trout restoration and management, specifically about species identity and purity, which fish to value, and where these fish belong. This paper examines how this molecular turn in fisheries management is influencing wild and native trout policy in Colorado. Examples from two small Colorado watersheds, Bear Creek and Sand Creek, illustrate how framing trout as genetic bodies can guide m…

From Iron Curtain to Green Belt: Considering Central Europe as a Mnemonic Ecosystem
Since its institutional formulation in the late 1980s, the idea of ecological restoration has been debated and refined. More recently, the concept of novel ecosystems has challenged scholars to consider how history, human activity, and dynamic systems intersect with restoration values. But what role do restoration projects have in layered landscapes where meanings are many and the past still hurts? We bring cultural questions around memory to bea…

Conservation in the United States has been treated with mixed reviews over time. Viewed positively, the legacy of U.S. conservation features hundreds of millions of acres of land protected from exploitation; an array of agencies and regulations that aim to keep Americans’ air, water, soil, forests, and wildlife from despoliation; and a fleet of professionals dedicated to managing these lands and resources. This affirmative vision often presents f…

Militarized Spaces and Open Range: Piñon Canyon and (Counter)Cartographies of Rural Resistance
This paper examines how rural communities in Colorado have confronted military expansion. Against the backdrop of a series of base realignments and closures during the past three decades that have streamlined US military holdings nationwide, the US Army base at Fort Carson, Colorado, has been growing. In 1983 Fort Carson expanded into a 95 500-hectare training area in southeastern Colorado known as the Piñon Canyon Maneuver Site (PCMS). In 2006 t…
Examining Restoration Goals at a Former Military Site: Rocky Mountain Arsenal, Colorado
Identifying appropriate restoration goals has long posed a challenge in ecological restoration. The task becomes even more difficult in settings with diverse land use histories. After two decades of remediation, a former chemical weapons facility near Denver, Colorado, has become a national wildlife refuge. Restoration efforts have isolated contaminants and restored bison and native prairie, but the site's complex history invites a deeper conside…
Restoration and Authenticity Revisited
Disarming Nature: Converting Military Lands to Wildlife Refuges
Since 1988 the United States has closed nearly two dozen major military installations and reclassified them as national wildlife refuges. By presenting a case study of one site of military‐to‐wildlife conversion, this article examines the formation of these places and the implications of casting military practices and environmental conservation as compatible activities. As lands where military and environmental attributes can be perceived as inse…

Reconsidering Wilderness: Prospective Ethics for Nature, Technology, and Society
In this paper I seek to reconsider wilderness against recent critiques that portray it as necessarily contributing to a separation between nature and society. By examining the historical and contemporary contexts for designating wilderness areas in the United States, I propose that these wilderness lands and their particular constraints on the use of certain technologies may in fact present integrative, open spaces for considering how to live eth…
Practical Wisdom in Environmental Education
To create an ecologically literate, motivated, and engaged citizenry, environmental education must help students develop practical wisdom. We discuss three elements of teaching central to this task: first, greater emphasis on contextualized knowledge, grounded in particular places and cases; second, multi-modal learning that engages students as whole persons both cognitively and affectively; and third, stronger connections between knowing and doi…
