Educational attainment predicts negative perceptions women have of their own climate change knowledge

Selm, K. R., Peterson, M. N., Hess, G. R., Beck, S. M., & McHale, M. R. (2019, January 4). PLoS ONE.

By: K. Selm  n, M. Peterson n, G. Hess n, S. Beck * & M. McHale*

MeSH headings : Adult; Aged; Aged, 80 and over; Climate Change; Culture; Educational Status; Female; Humans; Male; Middle Aged; Minority Groups / psychology; Minority Groups / statistics & numerical data; North Carolina; Self Concept; Sex Factors; Socioeconomic Factors; Stereotyped Behavior; Surveys and Questionnaires / statistics & numerical data; Young Adult
topics (OpenAlex): Climate Change Communication and Perception; Environmental Education and Sustainability; Behavioral Health and Interventions
TL;DR: The understanding of the gender gap in self-perceived knowledge is enhanced by suggesting it is contingent on educational attainment, which could be the result of stereotype-threat experienced by women and minorities, and exacerbated by educational systems. (via Semantic Scholar)

Beyond Impervious: Urban Land-Cover Pattern Variation and Implications for Watershed Management

Beck, S. M., McHale, M. R., & Hess, G. R. (2016, April 19). Environmental Management.

By: S. Beck  n, M. McHale n & G. Hess n

author keywords: Urban ecology; Water quality; GIS; Remote sensing
MeSH headings : Conservation of Natural Resources / methods; North Carolina; Poaceae / growth & development; Trees / growth & development; Urbanization / trends; Water Quality; Water Resources / supply & distribution
topics (OpenAlex): Land Use and Ecosystem Services; Urban Stormwater Management Solutions; Urban Heat Island Mitigation
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that land-cover patterns do vary among urban catchments, and that trees and grass are divergent cover types in urban systems, which have several direct implications for the ongoing management of urban watersheds. (via Semantic Scholar)

TL;DR: Forest land cover and some degree of fragmentation are associated with population physical activity and BMI at the county scale in the U.S. and future studies should examine how built environments and varying land cover configurations influencePhysical activity and weight status.
