Climate change and trade in a globalized world

Creator:: Badau, Flavius
Abstract:: Environmental sustainability and economic growth is at the forefront of international policy discussions. There is no question that climate change is happening, but also that countries all around the world aspire to continued economic growth. When it comes to climate change, scientists agree that increased carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions in...

Radiative forcing and forest climate policy

Creator:: Thompson, Matthew P.
Abstract:: This thesis is comprised of two manuscripts that relate to forest-based management strategies in the context of market-based climate change mitigation policies. The work questions the appropriateness of a singular focus on carbon sequestration given the albedo effect and its possible countervailing climatic impacts. Through a review of salient literature...

Communities, Collaboration, and Climate Change Adaptation : Case Studies from Coastal Maine and Oregon

Creator:: Kelly, Miriah Russo
Abstract:: Twenty five years' worth of science indicates that the world can expect a number of climate change impacts. Increasingly, local municipalities, businesses and communities of people are becoming more concerned about what to do, yet they are looking for ways to best work together under these conditions. Communities must adapt...

Understanding the impact of climate change on snowpack extent and measurement in the Columbia River Basin and nested sub basins

Creator:: Brown, Aimee Lyn
Abstract:: Shifting climate patterns in the Columbia River basin are affecting snow pack, and, as a result, stream flow throughout the region. In the Oregon Cascades, ever growing populations, and their associated activities, place increasing stress on an already over allocated hydrologic system. Political pressures, including the possibility of renegotiation or...

“Avoidable Suffering” : Analyzing Healthcare Providers’ Perceptions of Climate Change Impacts

Creator:: Goodman, Rebecca M.
Abstract:: Recent scientific studies show that framing climate change as a health issue rather than an environmental issue were more persuasive with American audience members (Maibach et. al., 2010; Maibach et. al. 2014). Also in 2014, a survey on respiratory healthcare providers and found that a large percentage believed that climate...

Dust storm transport of pathogenic microbes to Viking Scandinavia : a query into possible environmental vectors or disease pathogenesis in a closed biological and ecological system

Creator:: Boling, David Carter
Abstract:: This thesis is an integrated study that links several disciplines-archaeology, anthropology, geography, atmospheric sciences, and microbiology. It attempts to generate an argument that central to climate change is disequilibrium in human ecologies- in my case, disease ecologies in Iceland during the 15th century. This thesis investigates the environment's effect on...

Past climate variability in southwestern Oregon and relationships with regional and hemispheric climate

Creator:: Ersek, Vasile
Abstract:: This dissertation presents the results of three studies that assessed climate variability on short and long timescales in western United States. The growth of carbonate formations in caves (speleothems) is used to infer the timing and amplitude of past climate variability. We first assess the controls on speleothem growth for...

Using auklets to monitor the effects of global warming on the Bering Sea ecosystem : Detecting change in auklet food supply, productivity, and populations

Creator:: Sheffield, Lisa M.
Abstract:: Global warming is progressing more rapidly in polar-regions, and its effects are more pronounced at high latitudes than in other parts of the globe. Changing ocean conditions due to climate change are predicted to have dramatic impacts on marine foodwebs. Seabirds, as upper trophic-level consumers, provide a highly visible and...

Local perceptions of climate change, coping and adaptation strategies among smallholder farmers in the Lake Basin Region of Kenya

Creator:: Asinjo, Robert
Abstract:: Smallholder farmers in Africa, who have long relied on rain-fed agriculture, are currently experiencing adverse impacts of climate change which is posing serious challenges to their ability to sustain their livelihoods (Morton 2007). This is the case for many other areas around the world, especially among indigenousor ruralcommunities who rely...

Community Resilience to Climate Change in Rural Java, Indonesia

Creator:: Utami, Arini Wahyu
Abstract:: Climate change increases weather unpredictability, threatens communities whose livelihoods depend on natural resources, such as rural communities. Utilizing a Community Capital Framework (Flora and Flora, 2013) and Governance of Complex Adaptive Systems (Duit and Galaz, 2008), this study concentrated on the role of cultural and political capital in supporting rural...
