  • Bright air : geoprocessing thermal imagery to map the nocturnal dynamics of the boundary layer in a mountain valley

    Creator:
    Johnson, Christopher
    Abstract:
    A thermal infrared (TIR) camera is used to remotely sense the foliage temperature in a mountain valley. The foliage temperature is used as a proxy for air temperature and can be used to study and map the dynamics of the nocturnal, weak-wind boundary layer in this valley. All radiative flux...

  • Mapping and lithologic interpretation of the Territorial Sea, Oregon

    Creator:
    Agapito, Melinda T.
    Abstract:
    Seafloor lithologic maps have been widely used to identify conservation sites. In this study, a lithologic interpretation of Oregon's territorial seafloor was created as an interim product in response to the need for a comprehensive lithologic map that will be used in the identification, evaluation and design of marine reserves...

  • Central place foraging and the winter village: a settlement pattern analysis in the lower Salmon River Canyon in Idaho

    Creator:
    Carlisle, Kendra
    Abstract:
    Hunter-gatherers depend on naturally occurring resources and, in order to survive, must overcome resource procurement challenges inherent in their environment. One challenge relates to the temporal and spatial availability of resources, which hunter-gatherers address, in part, through the strategic use of space to position themselves for optimal access to necessary...

  • Mathematical approaches to the physics of mesoscale oceanography

    Creator:
    Early, Jeffrey J.
    Abstract:
    The long-term evolution of Gaussian eddies is studied in an equivalent barotropic model using both linear and nonlinear quasi-geostrophic theory in an attempt to understand westward propagating satellite altimetry tracked mesoscale eddies. By examining both individual eddies and a large basin seeded with eddies, it is shown that long term...

  • On the Topologies of Moduli Spaces of Polygons: A Taxonomic Approach

    Creator:
    Krughoff, Stephen A.
    Abstract:
    Consider a polygon lying in the Euclidean plane with labeled edge lengths. The moduli space of polygons is the space of all polygons with the same labeled edge lengths, modulo orientation preserving isometries. It is well known that this space is generically a smooth manifold. For certain combinations of edge...

  • The Ocean Circulation and Carbon Cycle during the Last Glacial Maximum

    Creator:
    Muglia, Juan
    Abstract:
    During the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, ∼ 21 ky before present) the atmospheric CO2 concentration was about 100 ppm lower than its pre-industrial (PI)value. The missing carbon from the atmosphere must have been stored in thedeep ocean during this period, but the mechanisms driving such re-distribution ofthe carbon cycle are...

  • Turbulence in sheared, salt-fingering favorable environment

    Creator:
    Kimura, Satoshi
    Abstract:
    Instability and turbulence in sheared, salt-fingering favorable stratification are studied using three-dimensional direct numerical simulations (DNS). Salt-fingering favorable stratification is gravitationally stable, because the unstable vertical gradient of salinity is stabilized by temperature (warm, salty over cool, fresh water-masses). Salt-fingering instability can occur at the interface of these different water-masses....

  • Computing entropy for Z²-actions

    Creator:
    Pierce, Larry A.
    Abstract:
    For a certain class of Z²-actions, we provide a proof of a conjecture that the ratio of the Perron eigenvalues of the transfer matrices of the free boundary restrictions converge to the entropy of that action. Also, a novel method for computing the entropy of Z²-actions is conjectured.

  • An intrinsic codimension two cellular decomposition of the Hilbert cube

    Creator:
    Ghimire, Kailash C.
    Abstract:
    Cellular sets in the Hilbert cube are the intersection of nested sequences of normal cubes. One way of getting cellular maps on the Hilbert cube is by decomposing the Hilbert cube into cellular sets and using a quotient map. By using a cellular decomposition of the Hilbert cube, an example...
