Spatiotemporal Drivers of Seabird Distribution at the Pacific Marine Energy Center off Newport, Oregon

Creator:

Porquez, Jessica M.

Abstract:

The central Oregon coast was selected as an ideal site for wave energy development and establishment of the Pacific Marine Energy Center (PMEC). PMEC will consist of two nearshore sites, one north (NETS) and one south (SETS) of the Yaquina River, Oregon. Our study aims to assess how the development...

Eyes on the Seafloor : Using Video Tools to Monitor Benthic Communities at Dredged Material Disposal Sites at the Mouth of the Columbia River

Creator:

Fields, Stephanie A.

Abstract:

The mouth of the Columbia River (MCR) is an intersection of more than a river and ocean, but also multiple economically valuable activities including dredging to maintain a deep draft shipping channel and an active Dungeness crab (Metacarcinus magister) fishery. More than three million cubic meters of sediment are annually...

Late Pleistocene Slip Rate along the Panamint Valley Fault System, Eastern California

Creator:

Choi, Na Hyung

Abstract:

The Eastern California Shear Zone (ECSZ) is a broad zone of dextral shear inboard of the North American - Pacific plate boundary. Despite decades of study, the significance of a mismatch between geodetic velocities and geologic fault slip rates across the ECSZ remains incompletely understood. Geodetically determined interseismic strain across...

Evaluating Coastal Protection Services Associated with Restoration Management of an Endangered Shorebird in Oregon, U.S.A.

Creator:

Carroll, Lindsay J.

Abstract:

Coastal sand dunes and beaches offer a variety of ecosystem services such as coastal protection, sand stabilization, species conservation, and recreation. However, the management and balance of ecosystem services offered by dunes and beaches is challenging when ecosystem services interact across the landscape. Management focusing only on one ecosystem service...

Eastward Routing of Glacial Lake Agassiz Runoff caused the Younger Dryas Cold Event

Creator:

Leydet, David J.

Abstract:

The purpose of this thesis is to analyze an abrupt case of climate change in the past as a means to understand the mechanisms that force climate change. By looking to past analogs of climate change, we hopefully will gain an understanding of these events, which could be used to...

A 3-D Tomographic Model of the P-wave Velocity Structure of the Central Cascadia Forearc

Creator:

Kenyon, Christopher Bradford

Abstract:

Signals from the R/V Langseth’s tuned airgun array were recorded on an array of 33 EarthScope FlexArray seismometers deployed in the Oregon Coast Range from 43.5° to 45°N as part of the 2012 Ridge2Trench experiment to image the structure of the Juan de Fuca plate. This segment of the Juan...

Mitigating Microplastics : Development and Evaluation of a Middle School Curriculum

Creator:

Kowalski, Marie

Abstract:

Microplastics, plastic marine debris less than 5 mm in size, is a threat to the health of our oceans. One important way to reduce microplastics in our oceans is to educate people about the issue, particularly future decision-makers. In this study, a middle school curriculum was developed using current scientific...

Understanding Visitor Motivations for Attending Fee-based Animal Encounter Programs

Creator:

Huynh, Sandra

Abstract:

Education programs at zoos and aquariums provide opportunities for visitors to learn and garner information on animal natural history and, hopefully, conservation messaging. Fee-based programs (programs with an additional fee on top of admission prices), which are commonly employed by zoos and aquariums to foster learning opportunities for visitors, are...

Spatio-Temporal Patterns of Tree Establishment in the M1 Meadow of the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest

Creator:

Jones, Katherine E.

Abstract:

Montane meadows in the Cascade Range of Oregon have been declining due to tree establishment since records began. Montane meadow complexes in the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest shrank by 60 to 75% from 1949 to 2005, but fine scale temporal and spatial processes of tree establishment in these meadows are...

Decoding DOM Degradation with Metatranscriptomics : How Do Sunlight and Microbial Communities Interact to Degrade Dissolved Organic Matter in Arctic Freshwaters?

Creator:

Nalven, Sarah G.

Abstract:

Arctic soils are warming, making vast stores of organic carbon available for conversion to CO₂. This could create a positive feedback loop and accelerate global warming, but the processes that convert this carbon into CO₂ are not well understood. We investigated how the combined activities of sunlight and microbes degrade...
