The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami : tourism impacts and recovery progress in Thailand’s marine national parks

Creator:: Meprasert, Somrudee
Abstract:: The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami raised concern among marine park managers and hazard mitigation professionals about the significant impact of major coastal hazards on marine park natural resources and ecosystems. The main reason for this concern is the strong linkage of marine parks and their rich assortment of ecosystem services...

Using educational tools and integrative experiences via geovisualizations that incorporate spatial thinking, real world science and ocean literacy standards in the classroom : a case study examined

Creator:: Kinzel, Michelle Rene
Abstract:: The field of geography has been transformed in recent years through the use of spatial tools such as geographic information systems (GIS) satellite and acoustic remote sensing, the global positioning system (GPS), Internet mapping and more. Studying geography and earth science in the digital age now requires a sophisticated and...

Enhancing social-ecological resilience in the Colorado River Basin

Creator:: Eidem, Nathan T.
Abstract:: This research presents the Colorado River basin as a social-ecological system. Utilizing event data on cooperative and conflictive interactions over fresh water, the system is decomposed to look for evidence of outcomes of resilience enhancement. The Animas-La Plata Project in the upper San Juan basin is presented as a case...

Assessing the design of international water supply and hydropower arrangements for managing certain climate change scenarios

Creator:: Zentner, Matthew A.
Abstract:: Increased variability of rainfall and flow from climate change has the potential to stress existing transboundary water sharing agreements and make meeting the needs of all riparians difficult. Water treaties have been theorized as valuable tools for mitigating conflict in times of climate stress, but the relationship between the design...

Assessing the potential impacts of alternative landscape designs on amphibian population dynamics

Creator:: Rustigian, Heather L.
Abstract:: present a unique modeling approach to investigate the potential impacts of future land use alternatives on amphibian population dynamics in two agricultural watersheds in central Iowa. An individual-based spatially explicit population was used to predict the consequences of alternative landscape design and management for populations of four amphibian species. The...

A modified synoptic analysis of the status of Oregon's Willamette Valley wetlands

Creator:: Gabriel, John T.
Abstract:: Sound wetland management depends on an accurate comprehensive assessment of functional wetland values. This management should account for the cumulative impacts to regions and landscapes resulting from piecemeal destruction and degradation of wetland resources. A regional or watershed evaluation of wetland values can also make site-specific assessments more efficient. The...

Change detection of land cover in a meadow landscape : the“Ranches” meadow, Silver Falls State Park, Oregon

Creator:: Anderson, Carl G.
Abstract:: From a landscape ecology perspective, meadows are often seen as landscapes in transition. Succession and change in meadows may be investigated by considering the physical and anthropogenic factors that influence the landscape through time. What is often unknown is how changes occur and how physical and anthropogenic factors contribute to...
