Hazards of inequality : comparing two neighborhoods in San Francisco in the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake

Creator:: Moore, Monika Z.
Abstract:: This study examined two neighborhoods in San Francisco with similar earthquake-induced ground failure history -- the Marina District and the South of Market Area (SoMa) -- in the aftermath of the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. The earthquake struck shortly after 5 pm on October 17th, 1989 and registered 6.9 in...

Do vigorous young forests reduce streamflow? Results from up to 54 years of streamflow records in eight paired-watershed experiments in the H. J. Andrews and South Umpqua Experimental Forests

Creator:: Perry, Timothy D.
Abstract:: This study quantified the magnitude and timing of summer streamflow deficits in paired-watershed experiments in the Cascade Range of Oregon where mature and old-growth conifer forests were subjected to clearcutting, patch cutting, and overstory thinning treatments in the 1960s and 1970s. Hydrologic effects of clearcutting, small-patch cutting, and overstory thinning...

Modes of Global Climate Variability during Marine Isotope Stage 3 (60–26 ka)

Creator:: Pisias, Nicklas G., Clark, Peter U., and Brook, Edward J.
Abstract:: Recent analysis of 38 globally distributed paleoclimatic records covering Marine Isotope Stage 3 (MIS 3) 60–26 ka demonstrated that the two leading empirical orthogonal functions (EOFs) explaining the data are the Greenland ice-core signal (“northern” signal) and the Antarctic ice-core signal (“southern” signal). Here singular spectral analysis (SSA) is used...

Past climate variability in southwestern Oregon and relationships with regional and hemispheric climate

Creator:: Ersek, Vasile
Abstract:: This dissertation presents the results of three studies that assessed climate variability on short and long timescales in western United States. The growth of carbonate formations in caves (speleothems) is used to infer the timing and amplitude of past climate variability. We first assess the controls on speleothem growth for...

Paleomagnetic inclination shallowing in deep-sea sediments

Creator:: Arason, Pórdur
Abstract:: In this thesis anomalous downcore shallowing of paleomagnetic inclinations is interpreted to be caused by sediment compaction. Thus, compaction-induced inclination shallowing may influence tectonic reconstructions that are based on inclinations from deep-sea sediment cores. Progressive downcore shallowing of the remanent inclination was observed in a 120-m section of Plio- Pleistocene...

If you build it, will they come? Evolution towards the application of multi-dimensional GIS to fisheries-oceanography

Creator:: Vance, Tiffany C.
Abstract:: The development of new technologies in science is a balance between existence and use. There are three versions of this duality – something is built and users come, something is built and users don’t come, and, finally, potential users show up but the ballpark has not yet been built. In...

Late Pleistocene and Holocene glacier and climate change

Creator:: Marcott, Shaun Andrew
Abstract:: This dissertation presents results from three studies that address major scientific questions in glacial geology and paleoclimatology for the late Pleistocene and Holocene using relatively new geochemical and statistical techniques. Each of the studies attempts to answer a longstanding question in the respective field using geochemical or statistical methods that...

Developing climate records from speleothems, Oregon Caves National Monument, Oregon

Creator:: Vacco, David A.
Abstract:: A stalagmite (sample OCNM8-02A) collected from Oregon Caves National Monument (OCNM) was sampled for stable isotope ratios in order to develop a record of Pacific Northwest climate history. Nine U-series dates indicate that the record spans the time period - 13.5 - 9.5 ka. The stalagmite growth rate varied from...

Analyzing large paleoclimate datasets : implications for past and future climate change

Creator:: Shakun, Jeremy D.
Abstract:: This dissertation presents the results of statistical analyses of large climate datasets from two time intervals – the 20th century instrumental record and the proxy record of the last deglaciation – in order to understand the forcings and mechanisms of past climate variability. A longstanding question in climate dynamics concerns...

Multi-Centennial Response of ENSO Under Varying Atmospheric CO2

Creator:: Alder, Jay R.
Abstract:: The El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) affects millions of people via global teleconnections in the form of drought and torrential rainfall that impact agriculture and food production in many countries. Yet how ENSO will respond to a warming world is uncertain and a greatly debated topic. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate...
