On the Manifestation of Deformation and Evolution of Two Cenozoic Orogens

Creator:: Lamont, Ellen A.
Abstract:: The word orogenesis is derived from the Greek words oros meaning mountains and genesis meaning creation and refers to the study of the complex processes involved in the growth and evolution of mountain ranges (orogens). Orogens develop where crustal deformation builds topography and forms landscapes. This dissertation explores the role...

A Study of Vegetation Change Over Time in the Salt Marshes of the Salmon River Estuary, Oregon

Creator:: Schrank, Keaton A.
Abstract:: The salt marshes of the Salmon River Estuary, Oregon have been of interest for decades due to their disturbance and restoration history, as well as the presence of long-term vegetation transects that were established as early as the 1970s. Vegetation abundance data have been gathered in the four sites of...

On the Edge : Assessing Fish Habitat Use Across the Boundary between Pacific Oyster Aquaculture and Eelgrass in Willapa Bay, WA

Creator:: Muething, Kelly A.
Abstract:: Estuaries are an important ecological link between terrestrial, freshwater, and marine systems, but are also subject to a variety of human pressures. Along the West Coast of the United States, shellfish aquaculture is one extensive use of estuarine tidelands. Specifically, Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) aquaculture has been practiced for almost...

Investing upstream : a social-ecological systems perspective on water utility investments in ecosystem services

Creator:: Bennett, Drew E.
Abstract:: The concept of ecosystem services broadens perspectives on nature to include not only intrinsic value but also the utilitarian value it provides to society. Viewing nature through this lens informs our understanding of how particular ecological processes benefit different actors. In this research, I examine how water utilities in the...

Role of the Sisters Fault Zone in the Separation of Siletzia from the Cascadia Backarc

Creator:: Mark-Moser, MacKenzie
Abstract:: Oblique subduction of the Juan de Fuca plate beneath the North American plate characterizes the tectonic setting of the Pacific Northwest. North American plate deformation at the latitude of central Oregon consists of the clockwise-rotation of the Siletzia block in the forearc and the extensional Basin and Range province in...

Magnetotelluric Studies of Tectonic Systems and Volcanic Areas of North America

Creator:: Bowles-Martinez, Esteban
Abstract:: Magnetotellurics is used in two geologic settings on scales ranging from 1000-km tectonic structures to local features hundreds of meters wide. These areas are the Midcontinent Rift System (MRS) and its related mantle plume in the northern Midwestern United States and Newberry Volcano in central Oregon. The MRS study uses...

Wind-current Interactions of the Sri Lanka Dome and Tropical Indian Ocean

Creator:: Cullen, Kerstin
Abstract:: The southwest monsoon, which may be idealized as the northward movement of the intertropical convergence zone in the Indian Ocean associated with differential heating of land and ocean, brings a seasonal reversal of currents and winds in the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea. Atmospheric convection from monsoon activity...

Juvenile Pacific Oyster Growth and Food Resources in Eelgrass Habitats of Variable Shoot Density in Tillamook Bay, OR: Ecosystem Interactions for Management Consideration

Creator:: Merrill, Julianne
Abstract:: As the global demand for seafood increases each year, there is a growing need to expand sustainable aquaculture in the interests of food security and resilience of coastal communities. Pacific oysters, Crassostrea gigas, are grown in West coast estuaries - where cultures often overlap with the federally protected native eelgrass,...

Disputed Spaces : Concheras, Shrimp Aquaculture, and Conservation in the Mangrove Forests of Southern Esmeraldas, Ecuador

Creator:: Treviño Peña, Melva B.
Abstract:: The mangrove ecosystem has served as a life-support system to large populations of coastal dwellers in Ecuador for many generations. Diverse communities comprised of multi-racial and multi-ethnic groups have formed along the edge of the mangrove forests throughout the Ecuadorian coast. These groups self-identify as being part of an “ancestral”...
