Assessing the Role of Snow Cover for Regenerating Forests over Post-wildfire Landscapes in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Wilson, Andy C.
Abstract:: Forested, mountain landscapes in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) are changing at an unprecedented rate, largely due to shifts in the regional climate regime. Documented climatic trends across the PNW include increasing wildfire frequency and intensity and an increasingly ephemeral snowpack, especially at moderate elevations. One relationship that has yet 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...

Investigation of Deep Seismic Reflections Beneath the Forearc in the South Central Chile Subduction Zone

Creator:: Zhang, Edward
Abstract:: The south central Chilean margin is one of the most seismically active subduction zones on Earth, generating some of the largest earthquakes on the planet, including the largest ever recorded in 1960 near Valdivia, Chile (Mw 9.5). Using the 15 km streamer and 6600 in3 tuned seismic airgun array aboard...

Post-fire vegetation response to snow in the western United States

Creator:: Blauvelt, Katie
Abstract:: The western United States is experiencing significant changes in wildfire and snow regimes as a result of warming temperatures. An amplification of wildfire activity and reduction in snow water equivalent, snow covered area, and earlier spring snowmelt are documented trends that are projected to continue into the future. With an...

Forest Fire Effects on Radiative and Turbulent Fluxes over Snow : Implications for Snow Hydrology

Creator:: Gleason, Kelly E.
Abstract:: As a result of a warming climate, subsequent declining snowpack, and a century of fire suppression, forest fires are increasing across the western United States. However, we still do not fully understand how forest fire effects snowpack energy balance, nor the volume and availability of snow melt and associated water...

Mapping Wildlife-Relevant Snow Properties in Arctic-Boreal North America; Novel Modelling, Remote-Sensing, and Ground Observation Approaches

Creator:: Cosgrove, Christopher Liam
Abstract:: Arctic-boreal regions are exhibiting the symptoms of profound ecological shifts as they experience pronounced warming. Wildlife in high-latitudes are one such harbinger of change, and their populations are undergoing range-shifts, declines, and extinctions in response to their rapidly altering habitats. As the circumpolar and boreal north is snow-covered for up...

Local Seismicity Recorded by ChilePEPPER : Implications for Dynamic Accretionary Prism Response and Long-term Prism Evolution

Creator:: de Moor, Alexander
Abstract:: To investigate the dynamic response of the outer accretionary wedge updip from the patch of greatest slip during the Mw8.8 2010 Maule earthquake, 10 Ocean Bottom Seismometers (OBS) were deployed from May 2012 to March 2013 in a small array with an inter-instrument spacing of ~10 km. Nine instruments were...

Exploring perceptions and experiences of the U.S. West Coast shellfish industry dealing with ocean acidification

Creator:: Mabardy, Rebecca Anne
Abstract:: Nearshore and estuarine environments along the U.S West Coast are ocean acidification (OA) "hotspots". Carbon dioxide-enriched water has been correlated with production losses of Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) larvae at hatcheries in the Pacific Northwest. Limited and unreliable supply of larval seed has implications for the economic well-being of commercial...

Heat Flow from a Vapor-Dominated Sublacustrine Vent Field Beneath Yellowstone Lake

Creator:: Favorito, Julia E.
Abstract:: Portions of Yellowstone Lake sit on top of a vigorous but not well understood hydrothermal system situated in a region of intense geologic and environmental forcings. A heat flow study conducted over the Stevenson Island Vent Field (SIVF), a vent field at the bottom of Yellowstone Lake underlain by an...

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...
