Predicting the longshore-variable coastal response to hurricanes

Creator:: Stockdon, Hilary F.
Abstract:: The longshore variability of the coastal response to hurricanes may be examined within the framework of a storm-impact scaling model that compares spatially-variable beach morphology and fluid forcing. The relative elevations of dune height and storm-induced water levels are used to define three impact regimes (swash, collision, and overwash), within...

Gravity-based non-invasive superconducting gravimeter system for reactor coolant inventory monitoring

Creator:: Danielson, Jordan J.
Abstract:: All nuclear reactors rely heavily on the use of level sensing instrumentation to detect the behaviour of liquid in vessels. The majority of level sensing instruments are differential pressure sensing meters, which are invasive and could be the failure source in the pressure boundary of the primary coolant system. In...

Early Childhood Teachers’ Relationships with Families When Children Experience Adversity

Creator:: Lewis, Hillary R., Lipscomb, Shannon T., Hatfield, Bridget E., Jäderholm, Christina M., and Tominey, Shauna L.
Abstract:: Quality relationships among families and teachers in early care and education (ECE) hold promise to nurture resilience among children impacted by adversity. However, little is known about how adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) may also affect the interactions between families and teachers. This study uses quantitative survey data from families (N...

The Hanford Laboratories and the growth of environmental research in the Pacific Northwest, 1943 to 1965

Creator:: Ellis, D. Erik
Abstract:: The scientific endeavors that took place at Hanford Engineer Works, beginning in World War II and continuing thereafter, are often overlooked in the literature on the Manhattan Project, the Atomic Energy Commission, and in regional histories. To historians of science, Hanford is described as an industrial facility that illustrates the...

Structural Variations of Headwater Stream Food Webs Along Geophysical Gradients at the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest

Creator:: Zatkos, Lauren E.
Abstract:: The structure of food webs and how they relate to community stability has been an important debate in ecology. Specifically, predictability of web shape and how it influenced by surrounding landscapes is one of the main goals of such discussions. Headwater streams provide a study template that is of interest...

On the Dynamic Likelihood Approach to Data Assimilation for Stochastic Hyperbolic Geophysical Processes

Creator:: Foster, Dallas A.
Abstract:: Many geophysical phenomena exhibit complicated dynamics that, due to a variety of factors, diverge quickly from physical models. The arrival of new observations allows researchers to combine the model estimate with measurements in a statistical process called data assimilation to produce a revised estimate of the phenomenon. This assimilation of...

Forestry

Creator:: Avery, Bonnie E.
Abstract:: A broad definition of forestry would include the study of trees, forests, and the habitat they provide as well as their use by people. Modern, "science-based" forestry began in the nineteenth century when Europeans looked for specialists who could address questions on wood supply and extraction both at home and...

Mapping Out Climate Change: Assessing How Coastal Communities Adapt Using Alternative Future Scenarios

Creator:: Lipiec, Eva, Ruggiero, Peter, Mills, Alexis, Serafin, Katherine A., Bolte, John, Corcoran, Patrick, Stevenson, John, Zanocco, Chad, and Lach, Denise
Abstract:: Coastal communities are increasingly experiencing climate change–induced coastal disasters and chronic flooding and erosion. Decision makers and the public alike are struggling to reconcile the lack of ‘‘fit’’ between a rapidly changing environment and relatively rigid governance structures. In efforts to bridge this environment-governance gap in Tillamook County, Oregon, stakeholders...

A sedimentary and geophysical investigation offshore of Sumatra : subduction zone earthquakes, ground motions, and submarine landslides

Creator:: Patton, Jason R.
Abstract:: Subduction zone earthquake and tsunami hazards affect tens of millions worldwide and the recurrence of these disasters can be evaluated with paleoseismic techniques, because earthquake cycles (and their supercycles) typically span many millennia. In these three chapters, I discuss a suite of analyses I use to evaluate the sedimentary record...

Manufactured science - the attorneys' handmaiden : the influence of industry in occupational disease research during the twentieth century

Creator:: Biegel, Craig A.
Abstract:: Since the early twentieth century, manufacturers of toxic products have attempted to discredit research linking their product with disease. At the same time they have manufactured their own science designed to minimize risks associated with their products. Much of this activity has been conducted by or through corporate attorneys, endeavors...
