Participant perceptions of Range Rider Programs operating to mitigate wolf–livestock conflicts in the western United States by Molly Parks, Terry Messmer

“…We conducted semistructured phone and personal interviews with 51 participants from 17 RRPs in Montana, Oregon, and Washington during January to April 2014 and October 2014 to January 2015 to develop a typology of NRM RRPs and assess participant perceptions of current programs. Although the RRPs we studied varied in context, program focus, and scale, they shared similar organizational components that included a sponsor; collaboration among several organizations; a funding mechanism; a structure that included a supervisor, the landowner(s), and the range rider(s); and a mechanism for stakeholder feedback. …”

The rheology of the geological medium of interblock seismically active faults in the continental lithosphere: a key to understanding the generation of the strongest earthquakes in... by S. I. Sherman, E. A. Gorbunova

“…In the period when a future earthquake source develops and grows, the physical properties of the host rocks are assumed to change substantially, and both the viscosity and the relative shear strength decreases. At the moment of time when a strong earthquake takes place, the viscosity of the rocks in its focus is at its minimum value and thus favorable for high-amplitude interblock shearing under the current regional stress and unchanged geodynamic factors. …”
