In this Award from the NSF Science, Engineering and Education for Sustainability Fellows (SEES Fellows Program) Dr. Alice B. Kelly from the University of California - Berkeley will investigate the ways in which crime, both resource related and non-resource related crime, serve as threats to ecological and recreational sustainability in the Nation's National Parks. This award has support from the Directorate for Biological Sciences, the Directorate for Geosciences and the Directorate for Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences.Dr. Kelly will study the correlation of crime rates with: (1) the geographic location of each protected area; (2) the extent of government and external funding for national parks; (3) specific Federal and State laws/policies that impact National Parks; and (4) the ecological condition and visitation rates of specific parks. Research will concentrate on National Parks in the western United States.The aim of studies like that proposed in this work is to develop improved policies to guarantee the long-term sustainability of the Nation's National Parks.Dr. Kelly will be working with collaborators Prof. Maggi Kelly of the Department of Environmental Sciences, Policy and Management of UC-Berkeley as well as Rene S. Buehl of the National Park Service. Dr. Kelly will also work with software developers and other professionals in the Department of the Interior to improve the current Incident Reporting System to include the kind of GIS data that will be produced in this work.This project is supported under the NSF Science, Engineering and Education for Sustainability Fellows (SEES Fellows) program, with the goal of helping to enable discoveries needed to inform actions that lead to environmental, energy and societal sustainability while creating the necessary workforce to address these challenges. With SEES Fellows support, this project will enable a promising early career researcher to establish themselves in an independent research career related to sustainability.

在这个奖项由NSF科学，工程和教育的可持续发展研究员（SEES研究员计划）博士爱丽丝B。来自加州大学伯克利分校的凯利将调查犯罪的方式，包括与资源有关的犯罪和与资源无关的犯罪，对国家国家公园的生态和娱乐可持续性构成威胁。 该奖项得到了生物科学理事会、地球科学理事会和社会、行为和经济科学理事会的支持。凯利博士将研究犯罪率与以下因素之间的相关性：（1）每个保护区的地理位置;（2）政府和外部对国家公园的资助程度;（3）影响国家公园的具体联邦和州法律/政策;（4）国家公园的地理位置。（4）特定公园的生态状况和参观率。 Kelly博士将与加州大学伯克利分校环境科学、政策和管理系的Maggi Kelly教授以及Rene S.我是国家公园管理处的比尔凯利博士还将与软件开发人员和内政部的其他专业人员合作，改进当前的事故报告系统，以包括将在这项工作中产生的GIS数据。该项目得到了NSF科学，工程和可持续发展教育研究员的支持（SEES研究员）计划，其目标是帮助实现所需的发现，为导致环境，能源和社会可持续性，同时创造必要的劳动力来应对这些挑战。在SEES研究员的支持下，该项目将使一个有前途的早期职业研究人员能够在与可持续发展相关的独立研究生涯中建立自己的地位。
