Mariner 9 and Viking spacecraft observations during the 1970's have provided evidence for planetary-scale wave-like disturbances in the Mars atmosphere. It has been suggested that possible sources of the wave activity ...

The rainfall regime of the Cape Verde Islands is influenced by the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) resulting in strong seasonal trends and frequent thunderstorm events. These events are frequently responsible fo ...

Mercury cadmium telluride is important in the detection of electromagnetic radiation in the eight to twelve micron atmospheric window for infrared imaging systems. High resolution infrared imaging systems use either l ...

The beginning of the twenty-first century has seen an upsurge in petroleum prices and an increased concern over greenhouse gas emissions. Consequently, the interest in biodiesel production has heightened. Policy at the F ...

Upper Klamath Lake (UKL) and Agency Lake (AL) in southern Oregon are both hypereutrophic, in large part due to natural and anthropogenic loading of phosphorus (P), resulting in annual blooms of blue-green algae. Reductio ...

This thesis includes three studies involving different aspects of modeling protein structure. The first study illustrates the levels of insight available from atomic-resolution protein structures. The second study derive ...

Chameleon is a physics-based landscape modeling software system designed for modeling and simulations applications. Hyperspectral laboratory, field, and imaging spectrometer measurements are collected as empirical founda ...

Seasonal trends in forage production and environmental parameters for five plant community types within a northeastern Oregon riparian zone were described and modeled using correlation and path analysis. Wet meadows p ...

A technique is developed and tested to analyze the interaction of flowing water, bed topography, and bedload sediment transport in meandering channels where gravel bars are removed. The method relates the local velocit ...

A simple debris-slide model, employing a digital elevation model (DEM) and geological data, was used in a geographic information system (GIS) to map slope stability in the Andrews Experimental Forest, located in the we ...
