No One Cares What Color The Fire Truck Is: A Case Study of Interagency Cooperation In Fire Management in Central Oregon

Creator:: Gregory, Sarah
Abstract:: The purpose of this study is to identify the aspects of successful collaboration within an inter-organizational context. This essay is a case study of a tightly niched network of fire chiefs in central Oregon situated within multiple contiguous boundaries of federal and state agencies, county and municipal governments, industrial forests,...

A macroscopic to microscopic study of the effects of barotrauma and the potential for long-term survival in Pacific rockfish

Creator:: Pribyl, Alena L.
Abstract:: Depleted species of rockfish (Sebastes spp.) from the Northeast Pacific experience high discard mortality due to "barotrauma," induced from the rapid change in pressure during capture. Research suggests rockfish have the potential to survive barotrauma if immediately recompressed, but the potential for long-term recovery is unknown. In this project, we...

Erosion Narratives: Applying the Narrative Policy Framework to Louisiana's Coastal Erosion Narrative

Creator:: Lade, Andrew
Abstract:: South Louisiana has a major coastal erosion problem, exposing coastal communities to storm surge. The state is spending billions of dollars on projects that are not expected to last beyond 20 years. Research indicates that predominate stories influence problem definitions and solutions. Colten (2017) identified a shift in Louisiana's coastal...

Plant community recovery after high severity wildfire and post-fire management in the Klamath Region

Creator:: Lopez Ortiz, Maria Jose
Abstract:: Disturbance and microclimate interact to play a central role influencing the composition and structure of plant communities. In this thesis, I examined plant community composition and structure twenty years after high severity wildfires with and without post-fire management (salvage logging, fuel treatment, tree planting, and shrub release) under contrasting microclimatic...

Meander scars : reflections on healing a river

Creator:: Metzger, Abby P.
Abstract:: As Europeans settled the Willamette Valley in the 1800s, they began to simplify Oregon's largest river contained wholly within state boarders—the Willamette. The river lost miles of channels from dikes, dams, and development. Some channels vanished under concrete. Others became meander scars, or shallow, dry depression in the land where...

Political Ideology and Environmental Concern as Predictors of Attitudes toward Forest Management Practices in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Arnold, Molly L.
Abstract:: Few studies examine whether public attitudes toward forest management practices differ between public and private forests, with virtually no recent studies examining these differences in the Pacific Northwest, despite the coexistence of millions of acres of both public and private forest lands. Knowing whether public attitudes differ between public and...

Monitoring Restoration in South Sister Creek : The Effect of Stream Enhancement Structures on Water Temperature

Creator:: Harewood, Alessandra Greer
Abstract:: This pilot study of South Sister Creek (8 km length) examined stream-scale (i.e., longitudinal trends) and sub-reach scale (less than 100 m) water temperature. Hourly summer temperature time-series data were gathered at four to seven locations along South Sister Creek in 2006, 2012, and 2013 and were used to explore...

Predicting channel stability in Colorado mountain streams using hydrobiogeomorphic and land use data : a cost-sensitive machine learning approach to modeling rapid assessment protocols

Creator:: Morét, Stephanie L.
Abstract:: Natural resource data are typically non-linear and complex, yet modeling methods often utilize statistical analysis techniques, such as regression, that are insufficient for use on such data. This research proposes an innovative modeling method based on pattern recognition techniques borrowed from the field of machine learning. These techniques make no...

How the animals found their places : pattern detection, experimentation, and epistemology in a high desert stream fish assemblage

Creator:: White, Seth Michael
Abstract:: I examined the relative roles of biotic and abiotic factors in structuring redband trout Oncorhynchus mykiss distributions in the South Fork John Day. I first examined the relationship between the biological traits of the fish assemblage and riparian-geomorphic features in context of prevailing theories of stream ecology stemming from the...

Understanding the Relationship Between Livelihood Stressors, Human Well-being Perception, Forest Resource Extraction, and Sumatran Orangutan Ecotourism in Bukit Lawang Village, Gunung Leuser National Park, Indonesia

Creator:: Dewi, Rika S.
Abstract:: Gunung Leuser is a national park in Sumatra Island, Indonesia. This park is one of the most important biodiversity hotspots in the country. For instance, it is home to endangered and endemic species of Indonesia, such as the Sumatran orangutan, the Sumatran tiger, the Sumatran elephant, and the Sumatran rhino....
