Of Mysid and Menidia: Sublethal Effects of Micro and Nanoplastics on Estuarine Indicator Species

Creator:: Dickens, John
Abstract:: Microplastics are widely distributed in aquatic environments. The term ‘microplastics’ encompasses a wide array of particles with unique polymer constituents, morphologies, and sources, such as automobile tire tread. Tire wear particles (TWP) can end up in waterways near densely populated municipalities, where they can interact with aquatic biota. Studying the...

Seismic wave attenuation of the crust and upper mantle in the Himalaya and South-Central Tibetan Plateau

Creator:: Monigle, Patrick W.
Abstract:: Recent geophysical and geological investigations of the Tibetan plateau have given rise to conflicting models of plateau growth and deformation, where the presence and extent of partial melt in the crust could be a determining factor. Here we investigate the attenuation structure of the crust and upper mantle, as attenuation...

Investigating the Tibetan crust through automatic S wave detection and travel-time tomography using the Hi-CLIMB seismic array

Creator:: Riddle, Evan
Abstract:: The Hi-CLIMB broadband seismic experiment (2002-2005) operated 233 stations along an 800 km long north-south line from the Himalayan foreland into the central Tibetan Plateau and in a 350x350 km sub-array within southern Tibet and central and eastern Nepal. Station spacing was approximately 8 km along the line and 50...

Impact of Dansgaard-Oeschger and Heinrich Events on the Latitudinal Distribution of Methane Sources during Marine Isotope Stage 3

Creator:: Edwards, Jon S.
Abstract:: Understanding how the latitudinal distribution of methane sources changed between stadial and interstadial climate states during the last glacial period can provide important clues about how terrestrial hydroclimate and ecosystems evolved between these different states. The punctuation of the millennial-scale structure by Heinrich events is also of interest in this...

Quantifying uncertainty in exposure to coastal hazards associated with both climate change and adaptation strategies : a U.S. Pacific Northwest alternative coastal futures analysis

Creator:: Mills, Alexis K., Ruggiero, Peter, Bolte, John P., Serafin, Katherine A., and Lipiec, Eva
Abstract:: Coastal communities face heightened risk to coastal flooding and erosion hazards due to sea-level rise, changing storminess patterns, and evolving human development pressures. Incorporating uncertainty associated with both climate change and the range of possible adaptation measures is essential for projecting the evolving exposure to coastal flooding and erosion, as...

An Interdisciplinary approach towards understanding late Pleistocene ice sheet change

Creator:: Cuzzone, Joshua K.
Abstract:: The results presented in this dissertation address a number of questions regarding late Pleistocene and Holocene ice-sheet and climate interactions, spanning disciplines involving paleoclimatology and atmospheric science. These studies use various techniques in geochemistry, climate modeling, and ice-sheet modeling to address ice- sheet response to climate and the attendant interactions...

Developing a Drought Metric with Water Managers

Creator:: Moruzzi, Danielle L.
Abstract:: Though numerous drought metrics have been developed by the research community, adoption of these metrics by water managers has been limited. The reasons for this vary, but some include mismatches in time scales and spatial scales between the metric supplied and the operational decisions (e.g. water managers often work within...

Modeling Forest Response to Changing Climate Conditions in Western North America

Creator:: Hawkins, Linnia R.
Abstract:: Forests play an integral role in the global carbon cycle, regulating the atmospheric CO₂ concentration by sequestering nearly one third of anthropogenic carbon emissions and storing carbon for centuries. Forest ecosystems are integrated into the culture, ecology, and economy of western North America, supporting wildlife habitat, local economies, recreation, and...

Ocean Temperature Variability during the Late Pleistocene

Creator:: Hoffman, Jeremy Scott
Abstract:: This dissertation explores one overarching question relevant to the paleoclimate of the latest Pleistocene glacial cycle (approximately the last 130,000 years): “How did spatial and temporal evolution of ocean temperature, both at the surface and interior, relate to other parts of the climate system in the late Pleistocene?” Results from...

It Depends: Defining Cooperation and Evaluating Effectiveness in Transboundary Waters

Creator:: McCracken, Melissa J.
Abstract:: With the increasing international focus on transboundary cooperation as a part of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Framework, there is global recognition of transboundary water cooperation as a tool for improved governance and management of transboundary surface and groundwaters. Yet, there is not an agreed upon definition of transboundary water...
