Emissions offset incentives, carbon storage and profit optimization for Australian timber plantations
This article evaluates additional carbon storage that becomes profitable over a range of carbon credit prices through Australian Emissions Reduction Fund (ERF) methods introduced in 2017 for timber plantations. We found prices of $20 and $50 CO2-eq t−1 motivated switching 4% and 29% of southern Australian case study estate stands from short-rotation E. globulus to long-rotation P. radiata, resulting in 10% and 48% more estate carbon storage. We f…

Self-sufficiency through urban agriculture
Regional engagement and spatial modelling for natural resource management planning
Changing unsustainable natural resource use in agricultural landscapes is a complex social-ecological challenge that cannot be addressed through traditional reductionist science. More holistic and inclusive (or transdisciplinary) processes are needed. This paper describes a transdisciplinary project for natural resource management planning in two regions (Eyre Peninsula and South Australian Murray-Darling Basin) of southern Australia. With region…

To begin, did Panofsky mean by what the scholastics call an 'intention' ? The scholastics did not mean one thing by the term the meaning of which was debated through the late Middle Ages.1 For Avicenna, who provided much of the basis of this debate, intentions were apprehended by inner over and above the apprehended by outer sense. The standard example of this apprehension was that of a lamb, which upon seeing a wolf for the first time runs away.…
Intentions in the History of Art
IN THE ARGUMENTS that follow, I wish to consider certain aspects of the question of intention as it bears on the history of art. I shall discuss intention with respect to what I consider to be two primary art historical tasks, which are the explanation of why works of art look the way they look and why there are cogent and obviously related series of works of art. I would also like to begin to suggest some ways in which aspects of works of art at…
The "Visual Arts" and the Problem of Art Historical Description
In the introduction to Art and Illusion, E. H. Gombrich provides a brief history of the close relation he finds to exist between perceptual psychology and speculation on the history of artistic styles. Theories previous to the one he wishes to advance, he argues, were ultimately based on the reduction of visual perception to elements of sight and touch, on Bishop Berkeley's arguments that we see only color and that our apprehension of space is ba…
Conventions in the History of Art
W HEN I was first asked to write this essay, I declined: I had no sooner done so, however, than I began to notice that the word convention appeared much more frequently than I had realized in art historical writing and that it is in fact a notion that raises questions that seem to me to be of central importance, at the same time that they have been little examined. And so I changed my mind. As I considered these questions my essay has crept in va…
Living Legends in Romania
LYING in the northwestern corner of Romania, the mountainous province of MaramureS has traditionally been the country's most isolated region. Legend has it that the Dacians, tribal ancestors of today's Romanians, were able to maintain their way of life secluded there during the Roman occupation and the subsequent Gothic invasions. There, too, the Robin Hood of Romania, Pintea the Brave, performed his daring exploits in the seventeenth century. To…
