Item The Pursuit of Becoming: Constraints and Resources of Wyoming Women Hunters(University of Wyoming Libraries, 2023-05-15)Hunting, a unique outdoor activity, has been both an integral component of human culture and a useful tool in wildlife management. However, the under-representation of women reflects the long-lasting influence of an oppressive society. Women often feel excluded, unwelcome, and unsupported in these settings. As hunting decreases in popularity and participation drops nationally, determining how to recruit and retain hunters from non-traditional backgrounds is essential to the continuation of the activity. This research explored aspects of supports and constraints identified by Wyoming women who are active or interested in hunting. Mentorship and confidence are influential to the hunting experiences of these hunter groups, but also present as constraints; especially for women interested in becoming hunters. A comparison of the constraints experienced by these two groups provides recommendations for improving hunter support resources.Item Susceptibility to deep-seated landslides in central and southern Teton County, Wyoming: scale 1 : 100,000(University of Wyoming Libraries, 2025-04-15)This publication consists of a map, report, and digital data that depict relative susceptibility to deep-seated landslides in central and southern Teton County, Wyoming. Landslide susceptibility was modeled by spatially intersecting three classes of rock strength - generated from 57 published and unpublished geologic maps - with eight classes of slope angle derived from resampled bare-earth lidar digital elevation models. The resultant eight-class landslide susceptibility raster was validated with an independent inventory of approximately 2,100 previously mapped deep-seated landslides. Results are intended to provide officials and the public with a general understanding of where deep-seated landslides are more likely to occur, with the goal of informing land-use planning, infrastructure siting, and risk reduction efforts.Item Engaging Wyoming Communities in an Environmental Justice Approach for Advanced Nuclear Energy Facility Siting: Legal and Regulatory Analysis Report(University of Wyoming Libraries, 2024-11-20)In June 2021, the private company, TerraPower, in partnership with electric utility, PacifiCorp, and the United States Department of Energy via its Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program, announced plans to site its Natrium advanced nuclear reactor near the retiring Naughton Power Plant in Kemmerer, located in southwest Wyoming. This marks the first commercial advanced nuclear energy facility to begin construction in the United States. Our research explores this case and aims to inform an adaptable community engagement process for advanced nuclear energy siting and development, as proposals to develop similar facilities are rapidly increasing. Within this research, the Legal and Regulatory Analysis investigates whether and how formal advanced nuclear energy siting processes currently incorporate environmental justice and to what extent they provide opportunities for stakeholders to meaningfully participate. The report includes two chapters: 1) Analyzing Environmental Justice within Federal Agencies Relevant to Advanced Nuclear Energy Facility Siting; and 2) Beyond Public Comment: Toward Just Advanced Nuclear Energy Facility Siting Regulatory Procedures.Item Digital data for the interactive oil and gas map of Wyoming(University of Wyoming Libraries, 2025-02-28)The data release updates the GIS files and attribute tables for the online oil and gas map of Wyoming from the Wyoming State Geological Survey. The data provided includes over 57,000 wells that were analyzed and used to determine the producing intervals, predominant ages, and boundaries of the named oil and gas fields. Also included in the data are updates to hydrocarbon infrastructure, production data by basin, and proposed development areas. The data supersedes the underlying data of: Toner, R.N., Lynds, R.M., Stafford, J.E., and Lichtner, D.T., 2023, Interactive oil and gas map of Wyoming: Wyoming State Geological Survey, at https://portal.wsgs.wyo.gov/arcgis/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=d42f571b87fa4234b03d66ca7ae311a4.Item Taking the temperature of Wyoming public opinion on adapting to climate and water change(University of Wyoming Libraries, 2025-02-07)This infographic features results from the Wyoming Survey on Climate, Water, and People. The purpose of the survey was to understand Wyoming residents' perceptions on changing water resources and weather variability in Wyoming. Key results from the survey are highlighted in visually appealing graphs, charts, and images. Topics include perceptions of risk and vulnerability, experience with natural hazards, attitudes about adapting to a changing environment, perceptions of other people’s opinions, trusted information sources for news about water and weather, and support for policy options, community plans, and the use of modeling to adapt to changes. This infographic of the survey results was prepared for WyACT (Wyoming Anticipating the Climate-Water Transition), which is an interdisciplinary five-year National Science Foundation-funded project (Grant 2149105) led by the University of Wyoming. WyACT partners with Wyoming communities, practitioners, and decision-makers to understand, anticipate, and prepare for significant changes in climate and water and the impacts of those changes on interconnected human and natural systems.
