Particulate Trace Metal Fluxes in the Western Arabian Sea and Their Links to Marine Productivity

Creator:: Flannery, Kelly M.
Abstract:: Many trace elements (e.g., Zn, Cd, Mo) are essential phytoplankton micronutrients, making them crucial to the marine ecosystem and ultimately the carbon cycle. Because of this association trace metals are also utilized in paleoceanographic studies (e.g., Mo, Cd). However, not much is known about what controls the cycling of these...

Autonomous in situ measurements of estuarine surface PCO₂ : instrument development and initial estuarine observations

Creator:: Wall, Colleen McKay
Abstract:: A novel, low-cost instrument capable of measuring surface water PCO₂ was designed for use in dynamic, shallow-water environments. The instrument was tested in the Yaquina River Estuary, a macrotidal estuary known to experience a wide range of conditions ranging from dominance by the coastal ocean during summer upwelling to substantial...

A stratigraphic approach to characterize the deposition and storage of organic matter in reservoir sediments

Creator:: Stratton Garvin, Laurel E.
Abstract:: The relationship between carbon burial and sedimentation in reservoirs is unknown, exposing gaps in our fundamental understanding of the transport, processing, and deposition of sediment and organic matter in fluvial and lacustrine systems and contributing to uncertainty in our understanding of the net impact of dams to the global carbon...

Nuclear Power Plant Siting in the Columbia River Basin: Current Trends, Effects of Climate Change, and Associated Uncertainties

Creator:: Savotkina, Alexandra A.
Abstract:: This PhD dissertation describes and evaluates a geographical analysis of candidate areas for siting nuclear plants utilizing a wet cooling tower in the Columbia River Basin (CRB). It focuses on the analysis of water availability for cooling and how it may be limited by climate change effects on river streamflow....

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...

Creating a Predictive Model of Cinder Cone Evolution in Central Oregon

Creator:: Das-Toke, Shyam P.
Abstract:: Cinder cones are useful geomorphic features for geological analysis because they generally have known initial states and follow a similar pattern of degradation as they are exposed to erosive processes. This is largely because cinder cones are produced by monogenetic eruptions. Characterizing large cinder cone fields in terms of age...

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...

Revisiting Lōʻihi: Geochemistry of Kamaʻehuakanaloa Lavas Reveals Complexities in the Pre-Shield to Shield Transition and Hawaiian Mantle Plume Source

Creator:: Truong, Thi B.
Abstract:: Studies of Hawaiian volcanoes contribute valuable insights about Earth processes and mantle evolution, and are fundamental for understanding the construction of the largest volcanoes on terrestrial planets. The pre-shield stage exists in every Hawaiian volcano, but is usually blanketed by high volume tholeiitic lava flows during the main shield stage....

The late holocene atmospheric methane budget reconstructed from ice cores

Creator:: Mitchell, Logan E.
Abstract:: Ice cores are considered the gold standard for recording past climate and biogeochemical changes. However, gas records derived from ice core analysis have until now been largely limited to centennial and longer timescales because sufficient temporal resolution and analytical precision have been lacking, except during rare times when atmospheric concentrations...

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...
