Transport and Mixing of Buoyant Water from Small Mountainous Rivers : An Investigation of Estuarine Residence Timescales and Coastal Current Propagation

Creator:: Lemagie, Emily P.
Abstract:: Small rivers, such as those that line the Oregon coast, have been shown to deliver significant concentrations of suspended sediments and nutrients to estuaries and the coastal ocean during wet seasons during which winds are predominantly downwelling-favorable. The fate of the buoyant source water and of any suspended or dissolved...

Pillaging Bloodwood: An Exploratory Examination of Illegal Deforestation in Guinea-Bissau Through Forest Disturbance Algorithms and Unsupervised Clustering Techniques

Creator:: Walters, Alexander E.
Abstract:: Environmental crime around the world, such as trafficking in illegal timber, is directly related to political instability. Traffickers exploit weak, fragile, and chaotic political circumstances to illegally extract high-value commodities, challenging the extent to which conservation goals are achievable in resource rich developing countries. Rosewood is the largest traded endangered...

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...

Tribal climate adaptation guidebook : version 1.0

Creator:: Dalton, Meghan, Chisholm Hatfield, Samantha, and Petersen, Alexander “Sascha”
Abstract:: This Guidebook follows a holistic approach to adaptation planning called community-driven climate resilience planning. Community-driven climate resilience planning is “the process by which residents of vulnerable and impacted communities define for themselves the complex climate challenges they face, and the climate solutions most relevant to their unique assets and threats.”...

Adaptive Self-governance of Small-scale Commercial Fishers in Northeast Puerto Rico: Characterizing Formal and Informal Cooperation during Times of Crises

Creator:: Gómez-Andújar, Nicolás X.
Abstract:: Small-scale fisheries often suffer from weak, formal governance, and in response they organize in various ways. These self-organizational arrangements rely on the capacity of informal institutions, such as norms and communication, in generating social cohesion among actors in the supply chain and therefore improve the likelihood of generating commonly devised...

An Exploration of Climate Change, Conservation, and Cooperation, in Three Essays

Creator:: Johnson, Steven Mana'oakamai
Abstract:: The defining feature of our planet are the oceans, which make up 70% of the Earth’s surface. The importance of the ocean cannot be understated: 50% of oxygen originates from phytoplankton; heat is absorbed and redistributed by ocean currents; and hundreds of millions of people rely on the ocean for...

Horizontal Variability of Internal Waves and Tides: Seafloor Pressure Measurements and Idealized Resonant Modes

Creator:: Thomas, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: Internal waves and tides are a dominant source of current variability, and they are intermittent and hard to predict. Internal waves can have significant variability in alongshore structure. However, previous studies on internal waves have focused primarily on their cross-shore structure and propagation. For example, while alongshore-propagating superinertial internal tides...

Mobility Push Factors: Modeling the Influences of Natural Disasters on Migration Flows and Adaptation Interventions on Coastal Housing Prices

Creator:: Rose, Stefan A.
Abstract:: Natural disasters are an increasingly costly and frequent occurrence globally and in the United States (IPCC, 2012; IPCC, 2014; Berlemann & Steinhardt, 2017). Discrete disaster events, such as coastal flooding, have been shown to be push factors in temporary and long-term migration (Black et al., 2013). Policy efforts to adapt...

Role of Sea Surface Physical Processes in Mixed-layer Temperature Changes During Summer Marine Heat Waves in the Chile-Peru Current System

Creator:: Cooley, Kylene M.
Abstract:: Development of marine heat waves (MHWs) in the Chile-Peru Current System (CPCS) is influenced by multiple physical processes at the air-sea interface whose individual role in these destructive events is difficult to infer. We identified MHW events from sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies from time periods of extreme ocean warming...

Evolution of Turbulence, Heat Content, and Freshwater Lenses in the Diurnal Warm Layer

Creator:: Moulin, Aurélie J.
Abstract:: Thorough understanding of the mechanisms controlling the temperature structure in the surface mixed layer of the ocean and, in particular, accurate values of sea surface temperature are critical for properly parameterizing air-sea heat exchange and quantifying the amount of heat redistributed below the surface. It is however difficult to obtain...
