Noteworthy Faculty Publications

Faculty at Chaminade University of Honolulu are not just masters of the classroom but also scholars within their own disciplines; contributing to the dynamic scholarly communication of their field to help grow information. Below is a selection of our faculty publications for you to check out.

Lockard, E. (2014). Human migration to space: alternative technological approaches for long-term adaptation to extraterrestrial environments. Springer International Publishing.

"Human migration to space will be the most profound catalyst for evolution in the history of humankind, yet this has had little impact on determining our strategies for the next phase of exploration... Approaching this question from an interdisciplinary approach, this dissertation explores how the impact of interior space architecture can meet both the physical and psychological needs of future space colonists and set the stage for humankind to thrive and grow while setting down new roots beyond earth." - from publisher 

Santee, R. G. (2013). The Tao of stress: how to calm, balance. and simplify your life. New Harbinger Publications.

"Imagine, for a moment, a branch in the wind. If it moves with the wind, it will sway gracefully and remain intact; but if it refuses to bend, it will break. Like that unbendable branch, many of us refuse to be in harmony with the changes around us, and it is out of this conflict that much of our stress is created.... In The Tao of Stress, an expert in Taoist psychology presents daily meditative skills and movement exercises that can help you simplify your life, fight fatigue, and calm a busy mind." - from publisher

Tibbett, M. & Carter, D. (2008). Soil analysis in forensic taphonomy: chemical and biological effects of buried human remains. CRC Press.

"A burial environment is a complex and dynamic system. It plays host to an abundance of interdependent chemical, physical, and biological processes, which are greatly influenced by the inclusion of a body and its subsequent decay. However, while taphonomy continues to emerge as a valuable forensic tool, until now most of the attention has been on the cadaver rather than the grave itself... This unique resource provides an up-to-date overview of fundamental scientific principles and methods used in forensic taphonomy from a soil-based perspective." - from publisher
