Increasing synchrony of high temperature and low flow in western North American streams: double trouble for coldwater biota?

Creator:: Arismendi, Ivan, Safeeq, Mohammad, Johnson, Sherri L., Dunham, Jason B., and Haggerty, Roy
Abstract:: Flow and temperature are strongly linked environmental factors driving ecosystem processes in streams. Stream temperature maxima (T [subscript max_w]) and stream flow minima (Q[subscript min]) can create periods of stress for aquatic organisms. In mountainous areas, such as western North America, recent shifts toward an earlier spring peak flow and...

A 37,000-year record of paleomagnetic and environmental magnetic variability from Burial Lake, Arctic Alaska

Creator:: Dorfman, Jason Michael
Abstract:: Burial Lake sediments from the Noatak Basin in the northwest Brooks Range of Arctic Alaska (68.43°N, 159.17°W, 21.5 m water depth) provide the oldest continuous lacustrine record of paleo-environmental change and paleomagnetic secular variation (PSV) in eastern Beringia. A precise radiocarbon chronology, determined through accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) allows us...

Long term albacore (Thunnus alalunga) spatio-temporal association with environmental variability in the Northeastern Pacific

Creator:: Phillips, A. Jason
Abstract:: This study investigated long-term (1961-2008) changes in albacore (Thunnus alalunga) abundance and distribution in relation to local environmental and large-scale climate indices in the Northeastern Pacific using time series and spatial analyses. Prior to the time series analysis, a wavelet analysis was conducted to examine nonrandom patterns of cyclical variability...

Understanding large resurgent calderas and associated magma systems : the Pastos Grandes Caldera Complex, southwest Bolivia

Creator:: Kaiser, Jason Frederick, 1985-
Abstract:: The Pastos Grandes Caldera Complex (PGCC) in southwest Bolivia has produced two large-volume (≥800 km³ DRE) dacite ignimbrites from a nested caldera source over a period of 5.5 Myr. In addition to the large-volume ignimbrites, a small-volume ignimbrite shield and post-climactic lavas define this composite system. Based on detailed field...

Biophysical feedback mediates effects of invasive grasses on coastal dune shape

Creator:: Zarnetske, Phoebe L., Hacker, Sally D., Seabloom, Eric W., Ruggiero, Peter, Killian, Jason R., Maddux, Timothy B., and Cox, Daniel
Abstract:: Vegetation at the aquatic–terrestrial interface can alter landscape features through its growth and interactions with sediment and fluids. Even similar species may impart different effects due to variation in their interactions and feedbacks with the environment. Consequently, replacement of one engineering species by another can cause significant change in the...

Evaluating Drivers of Iron Cycling in Oregon Continental Margin Sediments Using an Early Diagenetic Model

Creator:: Chan, Adrienne B.
Abstract:: Continental margin sediments have been recognized as a major source of dissolved iron to the global ocean. The focus of this study was to build an early diagenetic model that can be used to simulate iron fluxes from continental margins and thereby identify key controlling factors. The model uses the...

Advancements in the Monitoring of Forests and Quantification of Live Aboveground Biomass Using Moderate Resolution Spaceborne Multispectral Imagery and Synthetic Aperture Radar Data

Creator:: Kilbride, John B.
Abstract:: The objective of this dissertation is to enhance the monitoring of forest ecosystems through the utilization of remotely sensed data to address the exigencies posed by the Anthropocene. On a global scale, rising temperatures and fluctuating precipitation patterns have strained forests and produced shifts in natural disturbance regimes. Additionally, the...

Satellite observations of the inﬂuence of mesoscale ocean eddies on near-surface temperature, phytoplankton and surface stress

Creator:: Gaube, Peter
Abstract:: The influence of mesoscale ocean eddies on near-surface ocean temperature, surface stress and phytoplankton communities is investigated by collocating numerous satellite measurements along with vertical profiles of oceanic temperature and salinity to the interiors of eddies identified and tracked in altimetric sea surface height maps. The surface currents associated with...

Early retreat of the Alaska Peninsula Glacier Complex and the implications for coastal migrations of First Americans

Creator:: Misarti, Nicole, Finney, Bruce P., Jordan, James W., Maschner, Herbert D. G., Addison, Jason A., Shapley, Mark D., Krumhardt, Andrea, and Beget, James E.
Abstract:: The debate over a coastal migration route for the First Americans revolves around two major points: seafaring technology, and a viable landscape and resource base. Three lake cores from Sanak Island in the western Gulf of Alaska yield the first radiocarbon ages from the continental shelf of the Northeast Pacific...

Ensemble-variational data assimilation for dynamically challenging coastal ocean circulation

Creator:: Pasmans, Ivo
Abstract:: Currently, forecasts produced by the Oregon-Washington (OR-WA) Coastal Ocean Forecast System are constrained by assimilation of only surface observations. The 4-dimensional variational (4DVAR) data assimilation (DA) algorithm is utilized to combine the model and the data, with the time-independent forecast ("background'') error covariance B. In this study, two possible improvements...
