Understanding the future of PFAS policy and management : a comparative study between two regions – the Pacific Northwest and the Great Lakes Region

Creator:: Tran, Danielle N.
Abstract:: In the past fifty years, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have become alarming global pollutants. In 2019, the United States (U.S.) Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ultimately classified them as emerging contaminants and established an action plan to address PFAS and protect public health through developing, identifying, monitoring, and remediating current...

Transboundary Wetlands: Exploring Formal Mechanisms for Cooperation

Creator:: Rosenblum, Zoe H.
Abstract:: Despite increased understanding of the benefits of wetlands, global wetland area continues to decrease. Wetlands are being lost at an alarming rate, and with them, biodiversity, floodwater storage, water purification, and countless other functions. There is little information available about mechanisms to manage transboundary wetlands. While the Ramsar Convention is...

In the Wake of Cascadia: Overcoming the Challenges of Disaster Preparedness for the Visiting Population in Newport, Oregon

Creator:: Copeland, Patrick J.
Abstract:: Extensive research has been published on a large-scale Cascadia subduction zone (CSZ) rupture off the Oregon coast, including the requirements of evacuation, shelter, and mass care of a diverse coastal population due to earthquake and tsunami related hazards. Adequate preparedness centers around the understanding of a hazards characteristics, and the...

Investigating Management of Transboundary Basins between Sovereign Countries and Non-Sovereign Entities

Creator:: Altingoz, Mehmet S.
Abstract:: There is a significant gap in academia in the field of transboundary water management of the non-sovereign entities. The objective of this master’s thesis is to work towards filling this gap. The first part of this master’s thesis research identifies potential hydro political tension risks of the transboundary basins in...

Assessing the Current State of Transboundary Cooperation in the International Columbia River Basin

Creator:: Timboe, Ingrid A.
Abstract:: The Columbia River Treaty (CRT) is often used as an example of how treaties can work to normalize, regulate, and improve the cooperative management of shared water resources between basin countries. Few would argue that, in its limited mandate to regulate hydropower generation and flood risk management for downstream communities,...

Water Governance Process Assessment : Evaluating the Link between Decision Making Processes and Outcomes in the Columbia River Basin

Creator:: Ogren, Kimberly
Abstract:: Academics and practitioners agree that in water governance, the quality of a decision making process should influence the quality of the outcome and the degree to which it is accepted by interested parties. However, finding a feasible way to evaluate and then improve the quality of a decision making process...

International river basin management in the face of change : Syr Darya Basin case study

Creator:: Pak, Mariya
Abstract:: The conflict over water resources exploitation and sharing in the Aral Sea Basin is one of the most pressing environmental issues yet to be resolved in Central Asia. The fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 and establishment of the New Independent States (NIS) within the Aral Sea Bain led...

Mechanisms of cooperation for states' construction of large-scale water infrastructure projects in transboundary river basins

Creator:: Petersen-Perlman, Jacob D.
Abstract:: How does transboundary water cooperation begin at the initial stages? Countries in many transboundary basins either do not cooperate at all or have ceased cooperation altogether. Yet cooperation does often prevail, resulting in 688 water-related treaties signed between 1820 and 2007. The question we address here is, by which practices...

The potential use of GIS as a tool for communicating risk information to American Indian tribes: A consideration of the ethical implications

Creator:: Lizon, K. Michele
Abstract:: American Indians presently face health risks posed by exposure to environmental pollutants through different exposure routes including: inhalation (e.g., air particles), ingestion (e.g., fish, water), and dermal contact (e.g., contact with water, soil). Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are increasingly being used in the Environmental Health arena as a tool for...

Estimation of global arable and irrigable land using GIS

Creator:: Wise, Daniel R.
Abstract:: As part of a study to determine the history and potential for conflict in international freshwater basins, an estimate was made of the location of arable and irrigable land in the world. Knowledge about the world's arable and irrigable land was desired since this information could be an indicator of...
