Problem-Framing: A perspective on Environmental Problem-Solving
Environmental Management, 1991Co-Authors: Lisa V. BardwellAbstract:The specter of Environmental calamity calls for the best efforts of an involved public. Ironically, the way people understand the issues all too often serves to discourage and frustrate rather than motivate them to action. This article draws from Problem-Solving perspectives offered by cognitive psychology and conflict management to examine a framework for thinking about Environmental Problems that promises to help rather than hinder efforts to address them. Problem-framing emphasizes focusing on the Problem definition. Since how one defines a Problem determines one's understanding of and approach to that Problem, being able to redefine or reframe a Problem and to explore the “Problem space” can help broaden the range of alternatives and solutions examined. Problem-framing incorporates a cognitive perspective on how people respond to information. It explains why an emphasis on Problem definition is not part of people's typical approach to Problems. It recognizes the importance of structure and of having ways to organize that information on one's Problem-Solving effort. Finally, Problem-framing draws on both cognitive psychology and conflict management for strategies to manage information and to create a Problem-Solving environment that not only encourages participation but can yield better approaches to our Environmental Problems.

uses of national atmospheric deposition program national trends network data for science education and Environmental Problem Solving november 27 1995 to february 10 1997
Open-File Report, 1997Co-Authors: M Nilles, J D Gordon, C J Litteral, Gary Lear, Cathy CopelandAbstract:The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is the lead agency for the monitoring of atmospheric deposition in the United States. The USGS supports 77 of the 191 sites in the National Atmospheric Deposition Program/National Trends Network (NADP/NTN) and provides nearly one-half of the network operating budget. In late 1995, NADP/NTN data were made available on the Internet at http://nadp.nrel.colostate.edu/NADP/. Four hundred ninety six uses of data were identified as supporting science education. Students ranging from the fourth grade through Ph.D. candidates utilized the NADP/NTN data to analyze Environmental data and its application in science education. For this group, the NADP/NTN data provide a readily available source of finalized, quality assured, and summarized on-line information for use in science education projects and assignments. Because of the national scope of the network, educators and students can easily locate data from sites near their community. In addition to educational applications, 565 uses of data were identified as supporting Environmental Problem Solving. This includes uses for industry, Environmental organizations, government agencies at the Federal, State and local level, university researchers, and international organizations. For this group, the NADP/NTN data represent an essential source of Environmental data that supports work on air and water quality issues, Environmental regulation, materials effects, research, global change, agriculture, and hundreds of other significant applications.

Clean Technology in Industry: Concept and Case Studies
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1998Co-Authors: Rita Van Der Vorst, Ralf Schimweg, Ewa KubisaAbstract:Abstract Environmental protection activities in industry have rapidly increased in number over the last years. Additionally, surveys of Environmental activities have identified a change in kind or in the approaches used to Environmental Problem Solving. A new paradigm ‘Clean Technology’ has been described which gradually seems to replace the ‘Clean-up Technology’ paradigm and the older ‘Dilute and Disperse’ paradigm. The new paradigm brings with it not only a new way of looking at Environmental protection, but also a range of ‘rules’ guiding the application of technology and the design of technological systems. This paper presents a few case studies highlighting and evaluating Clean Technology activities.
