Assessing Seismic Rockfall Impacts on Mobility in Transportation Corridors

Creator:

Holtan, Katherine

Abstract:

The climate and geologic conditions of the Pacific Northwest leaves its roads highly susceptible to rockfall hazards. Rockfalls often occur on steep slopes that experience heavy rainfall, groundwater seepage, or strong shaking from earthquakes. The unpredictable nature of these events often creates substantial problems for communities, transportation infrastructure, and the...

Multiobjective Optimization of Wetlands for Attaining Flood, Water Quality and Bird Habitat Benefits

Creator:

Noa-Yarasca, Efrain

Abstract:

A significant number of historically existing wetlands that naturally stored rainwater and attenuated flood peaks have now been drained and employed as new farming areas. Beyond the water quality and flow problem, this has resulted in loss of natural habitats of diverse ecological species. Restoring wetlands have hence been proposed...

Stream Temperature Modeling for Marys River Watershed

Creator:

Mustafa, Mamoon

Abstract:

High water temperatures in rivers have detrimental effects on riverine water quality and ecology. In this study, two river temperature models, within the agricultural watershed model Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), were investigated for their ability to simulate water temperatures accurately throughout the year. The original temperature model within...
