The effects of clouds on transient baroclinic eddies in a Mars General Circulation Model

Creator:: Rucker, Michael S.
Abstract:: The low-level baroclinic eddy activity seen in the NASA Ames Mars General Circulation Model (MGCM) for simulations under three annual dust cycles are characterized. Simulations were conducted with both radiatively active and radiatively inert clouds (RAC and non-RAC, respectively) for 11 continuous annual cycles for each dust case. Model results...

Adaptive Meets Precautionary: Navigating Risk and Rules in Collaborative Marine Renewable Energy Permitting Processes

Creator:: Burright, Jeffrey D.
Abstract:: Despite its promise as a potentially beneficial new source of energy, the ocean-based renewable energy industry is still in its infancy, and like any new idea there are many unknowns with the potential to affect both people and our natural environments. A permit for marine renewable energy (MRE) must cut...

Investigating Plate Boundaries through New High-Resolution Bathymetry and Seismic Data; 2 Case Studies from the Cascadia Subduction Zone and San Andreas Fault

Creator:: Beeson, Jeffrey Watson
Abstract:: Contiential margins on plate boundaries are complex systems with morphologies and characteristics dictated by the interplay of sediment deposition and erosion, tectonic faulting, folding, and strong ground motion generating mass wasting events. With ever increasing advances in high-resolution remote sensing techniques these systems are increasingly becoming illuminated. A ~120 km...

Power Calculations for a Passively Tuned Point Absorber Wave Energy Converter on the Oregon Coast

Creator:: Oskamp, Jeffrey A. and Özkan-Haller, H. Tuba
Abstract:: A wave-structure interaction model is implemented, and power output estimates are made for a simplified wave energy converter operating in measured spectral wave conditions. In order to estimate power output from a wave energy converter, device response to hydrodynamic forces is computed using a boundary element method potential flow model....

Reproductive phase locking of mosquito populations in response to rainfall frequency

Creator:: Shaman, Jeffrey and Day, Jonathan F.
Abstract:: The frequency of moderate to heavy rainfall events is projected to change in response to global warming. Here we show that these hydrologic changes may have a profound effect on mosquito population dynamics and rates of mosquito-borne disease transmission. We develop a simple model, which treats the mosquito reproductive cycle...

Determinants of moth diversity and community in a temperate mountain landscape: vegetation, topography, and seasonality

Creator:: Highland, Steven A., Miller, Jeffrey C., and Jones, Julia A.
Abstract:: Macromoth diversity, abundance, and community structure in the topographically complex HJ Andrews Experimental Forest and LTER site was studied on the west slope of the Cascade Range, Oregon. Data on 493 macromoth species (62,221 individuals) was sampled eight times/year at 20 locations from 2004 to 2008 and examined using multivariate...

Using a Two-Species Individual-Based Model to Examine the Population Responses of Northern Spotted Owls to Experimental Removals of Barred Owls in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Perlman, Kathryn R.
Abstract:: Management goals for restoring populations of the federally-threatened northern spotted owl currently include experimental lethal removals of barred owls from demographic study areas within the overlapping ranges of the two species to examine northern spotted owl population response. As lethal removals of a bird species are time- and cost-intensive, predictive...

New ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar age progression for the Louisville hot spot trail and implications for inter–hot spot motion

Creator:: Koppers, Anthony A. P., Gowen, Molly D., Colwell, Lauren E., Gee, Jeffrey S., Lonsdale, Peter F., Mahoney, John J., and Duncan, Robert A.
Abstract:: In this study we present 42 new ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar incremental heating age determinations updated age progression for the Louisville seamount trail. Louisville is the South Hawaiian‐Emperor seamount trail, both trails representing intraplate volcanism (~80 Ma to present) and being examples of primary hot spot lineaments. Our age‐progressive trend from 71 to...

The Spatial distribution of parks and crime in Seattle, Washington

Creator:: Weems, Candice Michelle
Abstract:: Parks help to build social cohesion within a community. Urban open spaces offer a sense of place, act as the focal points for public gatherings, and provide an opportunity for social networking (Francis, 2003; Hayward, 1989). While offering so much they are also known to be places of disgust and...
