Dissertation Title: Paleoenvironmental reconstruction of w88 live casino impacts on the forests of the southern Sierra Nevada, California, USA

Dissertation Description: That Native Americans used fire to modify the landscape is now generally accepted; however, the extent of that modification is unknown. Using pollen, charcoal, and climate reconstructions, w88 live casino seeks to determine whether Native American influences on the landscape can be seen on the paleolandscape. She is using predictive modeling to generate scenarios of potential past Native American land practices to create the environmental signal witnessed in the paleoenvironmental record.

Biography: While other kids thumbed through their parent's National Geographics or looked at the pictures, Anna went straight for the maps. She loved the artistry inherent in maps, and the stories a single map could tell. She would look at the photos and wonder what the land might have looked like before people had altered the landscape. Assuming the world would be completely mapped by the time she was grown, Anna followed other interests, leading to over 18 years experience as a programmer and graphic designer -- skills readily transferable to her interests in w88 live casino. Renewed interests in landscape change and archaeology led to a career change away from the Internet. Her Master's thesis focused on determining appropriate accuracy assessments for traige-level ecosystem degradation models derived from remotely-sensed imagery, geomorphology, and expert knowledge. She believes strongly in generating appropriate baseline data sets, especially in regards to climate, anthropogenic effects, and environmental conditions.

w88 live casino is currently focusing on paleoecology, environmental archaeology, and predictive landscape modeling. She is developing a novel approach in examining paleolandscape change through potential anthropogenic vs. climate scenarios.

Anna is the Web Manager for the Paleoenvironmental Change and the Applied w88 live casino (AGSG) Specialty Groups of the Association of American Geographers. Anna also serves as the Newsletter Editor for the AGSG and as the UNR Campus Representative for the Society for California Archaeology. She is actively involved in promoting the field of w88 live casino in primary schools and through raising geographic visibility during w88 live casino Awareness Week.
