CraigItem Ancient Maya wetland fields revealed under tropical forest canopy from laser scanning and multiproxy evidence(National Academy of Sciences, 2019-10-22) Beach, Timothy; Luzzadder-Beach, Sheryl; Krause, Samantha; Guderjan, Tom; Valdez Jr., Fred; Fernandez-Diaz, Juan Carlos; Eshleman, Sara; Doyle, ColinWe report on a large area of ancient Maya wetland field systems in Belize, Central America, based on airborne lidar survey coupled with multiple proxies and radiocarbon dates that reveal ancient field uses and chronology. The lidar survey indicated four main areas of wetland complexes, including the Birds of Paradise wetland field complex that is five times larger than earlier remote and ground survey had indicated, and revealed a previously unknown wetland field complex that is even larger. The field systems date mainly to the Maya Late and Terminal Classic (∼1,400–1,000 y ago), but with evidence from as early as the Late Preclassic (∼1,800 y ago) and as late as the Early Postclassic (∼900 y ago). Previous study showed that these were polycultural systems that grew typical ancient Maya crops including maize, arrowroot, squash, avocado, and other fruits and harvested fauna. The wetland fields were active at a time of population expansion, landscape alteration, and droughts and could have been adaptations to all of these major shifts in Maya civilization. These wetland-farming systems add to the evidence for early and extensive human impacts on the global tropics. Broader evidence suggests a wide distribution of wetland agroecosystems across the Maya Lowlands and Americas, and we hypothesize the increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide and methane from burning, preparing, and maintaining these field systems contributed to the Early Anthropocene.Item Announcing Launch of Planet Texas 2050(The University of Texas at Austin, 2018) Jaffe, DanielItem Anti-colonial attunements to place in higher education: Thinking with radical relationality(2019-12) Nxumalo, FikileThis keynote address engages with the generative potentials and necessity of attunement to place in higher education. It focuses in particular on what radical relationality; conceptualized by bringing new feminist materialisms, Indigenous knowledges, and Black feminisms into conversation, might mobilize towards unsettling the anthropocentric priorities and inheritances of higher education. The engagements are situated with place within ongoing and intensifying anthropogenic environmental precarity that underlines the imperative of more relational ways of living and learning in always already more-than-human worlds. In bringing new materialisms into conversation with Indigenous knowledges and Black feminisms, Fikile mobilizes relationalities that unsettle human-centredness while also disrupting the universalization of the category of the human.Item APPLE: Adaptive Planner Parameter Learning From Evaluative Feedback(IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, 2021-10) Wang, Zizhao; Xiao, Xuesu; Warnell, Garrett; Stone, PeterItem Archaeological assessment reveals Earth’s early transformation through land use(Science, 2019-08-30) Stephens, Lucas; Ellis, ErleEnvironmentally transformative human use of land accelerated with the emergence of agriculture, but the extent, trajectory, and implications of these early changes are not well understood. An empirical global assessment of land use from 10,000 years before the present (yr B.P.) to 1850 CE reveals a planet largely transformed by hunter-gatherers, farmers, and pastoralists by 3000 years ago, considerably earlier than the dates in the land-use reconstructions commonly used by Earth scientists. Synthesis of knowledge contributed by more than 250 archaeologists highlighted gaps in archaeological expertise and data quality, which peaked for 2000 yr B.P. and in traditionally studied and wealthier regions. Archaeological reconstruction of global land-use history illuminates the deep roots of Earth’s transformation and challenges the emerging Anthropocene paradigm that large-scale anthropogenic global environmental change is mostly a recent phenomenon.Item Army Secretary visits Austin to unveil latest partnership between military and Texas(KXAN, 2020-10-02) Rapaport, WesItem Artists explore new ways of knowing in a time of information overload(Nature, 2020-06-01) Vince, GaiaItem ASIS&T Webinar and Discussion: The Role of Information During a Global Health Crisis - Association for Information Science and Technology(ASIS&T, 2020) Xie, Bo; Mercer, Tim; Fleischmann, Kenneth R.; Zhang, Yan; Yoder, Linda H.; Stephens, Keri K.; Mackert, Michael; Lee, Min Kyung
