Introducing and validating a high-throughput bud break sensor

Creator:: Kleinknecht, George J.
Abstract:: Bud break is a key adaptive trait that can help us understand how plants respond to a changing climate from the molecular to landscape scale. Despite this, acquisition of bud break data is currently constrained by cost, scale, and a lack of information at the plant scale on the environmental...

Historical Change and the Hydrogeomorphic Context of Present-day Floodplain Forests in the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Bervid, Heather D.
Abstract:: Floodplain forests play many important roles in the fluvial processes and environments of large alluvial rivers, including acting as geomorphological influences and habitat for native fish during high flows. Many large, gravel-bed river systems have undergone substantial change in recent centuries, resulting in loss of forested area to agriculture, reduction...

Coastal hazards and community exposure in a changing climate : the development of probabilistic coastal change hazard zones

Creator:: Baron, Heather M.
Abstract:: Documented trends in rising sea levels, storminess, and extreme wave heights have the potential to increase the frequency and magnitude of coastal change hazards, increasing risks to coastal infrastructure and environmental resources. Coastal planners and decision makers need information about the impacts of future hazards in order to apply mitigation...

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...

Connecting Science to Policymakers, Managers, and Citizens

Creator:: Lubchenco, Jane, Menge, Bruce A., Barth, John A., Carr, Mark H., Caselle, Jennifer E., Chan, Francis, Fulton-Bennett, Heather K., Gaines, Steven D., Kroeker, Kristy J., Milligan, Kristen, Palumbi, Steven R., and White, J. Wilson
Abstract:: Twenty years ago, the creation of a new scientific program, the Partnership for Interdisciplinary Studies of Coastal Oceans (PISCO), funded by the Packard Foundation, provided the opportunity to integrate—from the outset—research, monitoring, and outreach to the public, policymakers, and managers. PISCO’s outreach efforts were initially focused primarily on sharing scientific...

Childhood cancer and spatial analyses of benzene exposure in Texas

Creator:: Roberts, Mark T.
Abstract:: Childhood cancers are rare diseases that affect 188 children in Texas for every million born. Leukemia is the most common childhood cancer and accounts for roughly one third of childhood cancer cases. However, it is estimated that only 10% of childhood cancer cases can be explained by known risk factors....

Unraveling the Diagenetic Cycling and Sequestration of Rare Earth Elements (REEs) in Marine Sediments to Understand REE Accumulation in Ancient Shales

Creator:: Yang, Jon
Abstract:: The rare earth elements (REEs) have been established as powerful tracers for a range of physiochemical processes occurring in the natural environment. They also hold significant economic importance as many technological advancements are reliant upon the REEs for their unique magnetic, luminescent, and electrochemical characteristics. In sedimentary settings, understanding the...

The Influence of Glacial Isostatic Adjustment on Marine Stratigraphic Correlation

Creator:: King, Meghan E.
Abstract:: Glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) alters the amplitude and timing of ‘glacioeustatic’ sea level maxima and minima around the globe. No study has examined the intrinsic distance that one can correlate marine stratigraphic records of glacial–interglacial sedimentation across continental shelves subject to varying amounts of GIA. Here, we seek to model...

Understanding Patterns of Timber Harvest and their Drivers : A Quantitative Assessment of Forest Governance in the Western Cascades of Oregon

Creator:: Harris, Tyler C.
Abstract:: Effective forest governance is central to the efficient, sustainable, and equitable use of forest resources, yet challenges in assessing forest governance impede efforts to improve it. Contemporary forest governance involves decisions by multiple stakeholders across multiple sectors of economy and society, from local to global scales – making forest governance...

Interpreting Climate of the Past from High-Resolution Ice Core Records of Methane

Creator:: Lee, James E.
Abstract:: Methane is a product of biogeochemical processes which respond to changes in climate. The history of atmospheric methane is recorded by ice cores providing insight into past changes in these biogeochemical processes. This dissertation is comprised of three studies which focus on centennial- and millenial-scale variability of methane from ice...
