An evaluation of a water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) program for rural communities in northern Afghanistan

Creator:: Costello, Denise H.
Abstract:: The Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) sector of international development works to increase access to sustainable, safe water and improved sanitation. Currently, at least 780 million people live without clean drinking water and 2.5 billion without access to improved sanitation (UNICEF & World Health Organization, 2012). Lack of access to...

Blowout and spill occurrence model

Creator:: Sim, Lawrence H.
Abstract:: To assist with risk-assessment with deepwater and ultra-deepwater prospects for offshore energy extraction as well as provide a useful tool for oil spill response, a spatially-explicit model was developed for comprehensive simulations of a blowout event from the wellhead to final fate and degradation. The Blowout and Spill Occurrence Model...

How well do American viticultural areas correspond with the soil classes in Oregon's northern Willamette Valley? A question for the wine industry

Creator:: Wood, Douglas T.
Abstract:: The specific geography of individual wine growing regions has long been understood to be a significant factor in predicting both a region’s success in producing high quality grapes, and the resulting demand for wines produced from that region's fruit. In the American wine industry, American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) are increasingly...

Eocene extension in Idaho generated massive sediment floods into the Franciscan trench and into the Tyee, Great Valley, and Green River basins

Creator:: Dumitru, Trevor A., Ernst, W.G., Wright, James E., Wooden, Joseph L., Wells, Ray E., Farmer, Lucia P., Kent, Adam J.R., and Graham, Stephan A.
Abstract:: The Franciscan Complex accretionary prism was assembled during an similar to 165-m.y.-long period of subduction of Pacific Ocean plates beneath the western margin of the North American plate. In such fossil subduction complexes, it is generally difficult to reconstruct details of the accretion of continent-derived sediments and to evaluate the...

Understanding Visitor Motivations for Attending Fee-based Animal Encounter Programs

Creator:: Huynh, Sandra
Abstract:: Education programs at zoos and aquariums provide opportunities for visitors to learn and garner information on animal natural history and, hopefully, conservation messaging. Fee-based programs (programs with an additional fee on top of admission prices), which are commonly employed by zoos and aquariums to foster learning opportunities for visitors, are...

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....

Diversity, Generalization, and Specialization in Plant-Pollinator Networks of Montane Meadows, Western Cascades, Oregon

Creator:: Helderop, Edward
Abstract:: Despite the importance of plant-pollinator interactions for ecological communities, few long-term observational studies have been conducted of plant-pollinator networks. Using four years of plant-pollinator interaction data from 18 meadows in the Willamette National Forest, Oregon, this thesis examined how meadow size, the amount of nearby meadow habitat, weather, degree days,...

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...

An Evaluation of the Complex Age Progression along the Cook-Austral Islands Using High-resolution ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar Incremental Heating Ages

Creator:: Rose, Joanna
Abstract:: The Cook-Austral island chain has been the center of debate for many years. Contrary to the classical hotspot hypothesis, this volcanic island chain does not exhibit a linear age progression with a single node of active volcanism, but instead shows evidence of young volcanism at several points along the chain....

Tidal-band and high-frequency internal variability on the central Oregon inner shelf

Creator:: Suanda, Sutara H.
Abstract:: Analogous to ocean surface waves, waves in the ocean interior also experience steepening, breaking, and dissipation as they approach the coastline. Much less is known about this internal beach. In this work, extensive moored Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler and temperature/salinity data together with optical remote sensing are combined to describe...
