Introduction Welcome to the Coastal Marsh Project. The purpose of the Project was to analyze the surface condition of coastal marshes and detect areas that were at risk for rapid loss of land area. Overall coastal marsh health and potential for deterioration were assessed for much of the east coast of the United States. The result of Project operations was the development of a Marsh Surface Condition data set and improved scientific analysis of coastal marshes. The Coastal Marsh Project operated in the Department of Geography at the University of Maryland, College Park from 1993 to 1998. Methodology The methodology for the Coastal Marsh Project involves the input, reclassification, combination and output of two primary land cover data sets: National Wetlands Inventory vector data and Thematic Mapper images. The result is a vector data set which demonstrates the health of coastal marsh areas, with special emphasis on those areas in danger of rapid deterioration into open water. The particular innovation of the Coastal Marsh Project's methodology is the focus on ponding and tidal creek expansion of marsh areas. These cover types are proven here to have dramatic impact on the degree of health and deterioration.

Extractions: The project enables visitors to a popular inner city open space to view an initiative that seeks to reestablish an environment akin to the pre-development foreshore. Considerable environmental education potential exists at the site. To achieve an on-the-ground outcome required strong commitment from stakeholders and at several preconstruction stages of the project delivery a less committed community or Council might have taken the easier "do nothing" option. Post-construction public opinion of the salt-marsh is favourable - justifying the major investment of community and Council staff time and effort. The aims of the project were as follows: To contribute to better water quality in Rozelle Bay and work towards the ecological restoration of Sydney Harbour To reestablish indigenous wetland species To create nesting and feeding sites for water birds and shelter and breeding grounds for fish, and other aquatic life To create an aesthetically pleasing peaceful recreation area, and

Extractions: Simon Fraser University Although different personality theories work at different levels of explanatory complexity, psychologists generally agree that a complete theory of personality should address the questions of what are the characteristics of the person and how are they organized (i.e., personality structure), as well as how these characteristics develop and change over different contexts (i.e., personality process) (Pervin, 1980). Only such a theory can adequately address the issue of both individual differences and similarities in personality characteristics (nomothetic view), and the intra-individual complexity of personality organization and dynamics (idiographic view). Further, the claims personologists can make are limited by the methodology they use to develop and study a construct (Pervin, 1980). The kinds of phenomena attended to and the kinds of statistical procedures used determine the level of complexity and the limits of validity of a given framework. Or Factor-analytically Developed ...
