Chronology reconstruction for the disturbed bottom section of the GISP2 and the GRIP ice cores: Implications for Termination II in Greenland

Creator:: Suwa, Makoto, von Fischer, Joseph C., Bender, Michael L., Landais, Amaelle, and Brook, Edward J.
Abstract:: We have reconstructed chronology for the disturbed bottom parts of the GRIP and GISP2 ice cores using the combined paleoatmospheric records of CH₄ concentration and δ¹⁸O[subscript atm] in the trapped gases. Our reconstructed ages for basal ice samples are based on comparison of published measurements of CH₄ and δ¹⁸O[subscript atm]...

Monitoring individual particle transport in a gravel bedded stream using a passive radio transponder system, Corvallis, Oregon

Creator:: Childers, Elayne S.
Abstract:: Gathering empirical data on the factors and processes affecting bedload transport in the field is difficult. This project conducted during the winter of 1996 field tested a new passive method of positively tracking individual particle movement. The project was conducted in Oak Creek, a gravel bedded stream, located in Corvallis,...

Irrigated agriculture, energy, and endangered species in the Upper Klamath Basin : Evaluating trade-offs and interconnections

Creator:: Boehlert, Brent B.
Abstract:: In 2001, an extreme drought tightened water supply in the Upper Klamath Basin (basin) while earlier increases in Endangered Species Act (ESA) water requirements for basin fish species that same year elevated demands. The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), which manages irrigation water in parts of the basin located near the...

A mathematical transformation of multi-angular remote sensing data for the study of vegetation change

Creator:: Friedel, Robert G.
Abstract:: Vegetation change is an important factor affecting the global carbon cycle, land-atmosphere interaction, and terrestrial ecology. The study of vegetation change on a global scale can be used to evaluate the impact of global climate change on terrestrial ecosystems. Satellite remote sensing can monitor vegetation change at the global scale,...

Magma chamber processes over the past 475,000 years at Mount Hood, Oregon : insights from crystal zoning and crystal size distribution studies

Creator:: Darr, Cristina M.
Abstract:: Several different petrological techniques have been applied to lava flows between 200 to 475,000 years old from Mount Hood, Oregon. Mount Hood is unusual, in comparison to nearby Mount St. Helens and Mount Jefferson, in that it has produced relatively homogeneous lava compositions over 475,000 years. Erupted lavas are mostly...

Plant community dynamics in remnant and restored Willamette Valley wetland prairies

Creator:: Schwindt, Rachel A.
Abstract:: Invasion by exotic species can pose a major challenge for developing native plant communities in wetland restoration projects. Often native plant communities do not develop as anticipated in restored wetlands due to colonization by exotic species that dominate the native plant community. Despite the time and expense to restore wetlands,...

Mapping vegetation density and water inundation in a recovering wetland : the Mesopotamian Marshlands

Creator:: Bosley, Jon Michael
Abstract:: Once considered the largest wetland in Central Asia, the Mesopotamian Marshlands of Southeastern Iraq have nearly disappeared. Various hydrological projects by the Iraqi government and dam construction in the region have nearly destroyed these once rich freshwater wetlands by over 90%. With the launching of Operation Iraqi Freedom recent attempts...

Transboundary river floods : vulnerability of continents, international river basins and countries

Creator:: Bakker, Marloes H. N.
Abstract:: Floods are the most frequent and damaging of all types of natural disasters and annually affect the lives of millions all over the globe. However, researchers seem to have overlooked the fact that floods do not recognize national boundaries. Therefore, the phenomena of shared, or transboundary floods occurring in international...

The visualization of perspective systems and iconology in Dürer’s cartographic works : an in-depth analysis using multiple methodological approaches

Creator:: Wörz, Adèle Lorraine
Abstract:: This dissertation uses a new methodological approach for an in-depth analysis of three cartographic works. Studies within the discipline of the history of cartography have followed various methodologies throughout the past century. This dissertation argues that in order to come to a more complete understanding of how maps were produced...

Can growth strata identify individual paleoearthquakes and characterize fold kinematics? A case study from the La Laja fault system, Sierra de Villicum, Argentina

Creator:: Schultz, Emily S.
Abstract:: A large, damaging earthquake in 1944 on a blind thrust fault caused 60 cm of surface rupture on the subsidiary La Laja fault and additional unmeasured growth of an associated backlimb fold. Both the fold and fault are components of the La Laja Fault System (LLFS) located 25 km northeast...
