Comparative analysis of Google Earth versus traditional paper maps in middle school earth science education

Creator:: Edstrom, Jillian Aasta
Abstract:: As GIS becomes more prominent in academic classrooms at all levels of education, the subject of geography and its related disciplines can be approached with a geospatial technology perspective, using new tools and lesson plans. The implementation of Google Earth in classrooms is just one example of this. Research was...

The provenance and trace element signatures of MORB anorthitic plagioclase

Creator:: Burleigh, Andrew W.
Abstract:: In an attempt to understand the phase equilibria and petrogenesis of MORB anorthitic plagioclase, Cr-spinel commonly hosted within anorthitic plagioclase has been investigated petrographically and compositionally. Based on spinel-anorthite relationships from three samples of plagioclase ultra-phyric basalt (PUB; Southeast Indian Ridge, Axial Seamount and West Valley Segment, Juan de Fuca...

Water Governance Process Assessment : Evaluating the Link between Decision Making Processes and Outcomes in the Columbia River Basin

Creator:: Ogren, Kimberly
Abstract:: Academics and practitioners agree that in water governance, the quality of a decision making process should influence the quality of the outcome and the degree to which it is accepted by interested parties. However, finding a feasible way to evaluate and then improve the quality of a decision making process...

Is dam development a mechanism for human security? Scale and perception of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam on the Blue Nile River in Ethiopia and the Xayaburi Dam on the Mekong River in Laos

Creator:: Veilleux, Jennifer Corinne
Abstract:: Human security is a framework related to the stability and sustainability of political, environmental, economical, and socio-cultural areas of concern. Water resources around the world are under increased pressure from increased development, growing populations, pollution, and global climate change. Large-scale dam development while still popular for political and economic development...

Resilience of large river basins : applying social-ecological systems theory, conflict management, and collaboration on the Mekong and Columbia Basins

Creator:: MacQuarrie, Patrick R.
Abstract:: River basins provide essential services for both humans and ecosystems. Understanding the connections between ecosystems and society and their function has been at the heart of resilience studies and has become an increasing important endeavor in research and practice. In this dissertation, I define basin resilience as a river basin...

Magmatic processes beneath mid-ocean ridges : insights from mineral and glass chemistry in plagioclase ultraphyric basalts

Creator:: Lange, Amy E.
Abstract:: Prior to eruption at mid-ocean ridges, melts must travel through >6 km of crust from their origin in the mantle. The final composition of the melts is dependent on both the melting conditions and magmatic processes within the crust. While mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB) glasses are commonly used to infer...

Air-Sea Interactions from Westerly Wind Bursts During the November 2011 MJO in the Indian Ocean

Creator:: Moum, James N., de Szoeke, Simon P., Smyth, William D., Edson, James B., DeWitt, H. Langley, Moulin, Aurélie J., Thompson, Elizabeth J., Zappa, Christopher J., Rutledge, Steven A., Johnson, Richard H., and Fairall, Christopher W.
Abstract:: The life cycles of three Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO) events were observed over the Indian Ocean as part of the Dynamics of the MJO (DYNAMO) experiment. During November 2011 near 0°, 80°E, the site of the research vessel Roger Revelle, the authors observed intense multiscale interactions within an MJO convective envelope,...

Comparison of Thermal Variance Dissipation Rates from Moored and Profiling Instruments at the Equator

Creator:: Perlin, A. and Moum, J. N.
Abstract:: As a quantitative test of moored mixing measurements using [subscript χ]pods, a comparison experiment was conducted at 0°, 140°W in October–November 2008. The following three measurement elements were involved: (i) NOAA’s Tropical Atmosphere Ocean (TAO) mooring with five [subscript χ]pods, (ii) a similar mooring 9 km away with seven [subscript...

The leading edge of a tropical instability wave : interpretation as a gravity current

Creator:: McHugh, Elizabeth Helen
Abstract:: A sharp temperature front, oriented along the south-west corner of the leading edge of a Tropical Instability Wave (TIW) warm trough, was encountered at 0°N, 140°W on November 2, 2008 and detected by a 0.45°C increase in SST that occurred over 7 s. The distinct SST signal was observed at...
