Treaties between tribes and the federal government, particularly concerning resource use and environmental conservation, have long been a source of legal contention. Their exact status and attendant rights generate significant tension, especially regarding state obligations.

Recently, an equally divided Supreme Court affirmed states' duty to manage resources consistent with tribal treaty rights. This ruling impacts states like Washington, which has resisted requirements from the Stevens' treaties, affirming tribal salmon fishing rights. The critical question remains: what additional state obligations ensure resource sustainability, especially amidst climate disruption? Consistent enforcement benefits all, illuminating the state's trust duties to its people.

F. Sherwood Rowland, UCI Bren Research Professor of chemistry and Earth system science, received the 1995 Nobel Prize in chemistry. He was honored for his discovery that chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in products like aerosol sprays damage the Earth's protective ozone layer. Although initially controversial, this crucial finding ultimately led to a worldwide ban on CFCs.

Professor Rowland passed away on Saturday, March 10, 2012. This video was produced by Kerrin Piche Serna, University Communications. For more information, visit F. Sherwood Rowland's Wikipedia page or read an Al Jazeera article on ozone.
