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...

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...

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...

A Culture of Resilience: Social Capital and Climate Adaptation in Post-Flood Boulder County

Creator:: Shepard, Stephanie
Abstract:: Scientists say that climate change is very likely to cause more frequent and more severe weather events. In order to understand how communities respond to changing weather patterns, an exploration of the connection between extreme weather events and climate change awareness, collective action, and policy is warranted. This case study...

Estimation and Sparse Selection of Conditional Probability Models for Vector Time Series

Creator:: Ruiz, Trevor D.
Abstract:: Diverse scientific fields collect multiple time series data to investigate the dynamical behavior of complex systems: atmospheric and climate science, geophysics, neuroscience, epidemiology, ecology, and environmental science. Identifying patterns of mutual dependence among such data generates valuable knowledge that can be applied either for inferential or forecasting purposes. Vector autoregressive...

The Role of the Urban Matters Community of Practice within the National Park Service

Creator:: O’Casey, Elizabeth
Abstract:: There is a growing movement in the U.S., and throughout the world, involving top down government bureaucracies or government agencies within the natural resources field, to develop new and innovative processes and structures for integrating societal viewpoints into agency decision-making. This study examines Urban Matters, a community of practice within...

Environmental justice and energy production : coal-fired power plants in Illinois

Creator:: Clark, Catherine
Abstract:: The environmental justice framework has been applied to many environmentally negative issues in the past such as toxic storage and disposal facilities, toxic release inventory sites, air quality, transportation, and global climate change. It has not yet been applied to energy production in a quantitative study. This study investigates the...

Low-income weatherization: practical and policy limitations to increasing services in rural Oregon

Creator:: Hammond, D'Anne
Abstract:: This essay examines the low-income weatherization program in rural Oregon, shedding light on difficulties in increasing weatherization services to low-income rural households. This essay also identifies policy limitations. There are strict rules in place for utilizing Department of Energy weatherization funding and some of these rules are likely to make...

The relationship between income and food insecurity : the role of social support in rural and urban Oregonians

Creator:: De Marco, Molly M.
Abstract:: Millions of U.S. households experienced hunger in 2005 and millions more experienced food insecurity. Previous research indicates that low-wage work and little social support contribute to food insecurity. Research also suggests that individuals cope by finding alternate food sources and drawing on social support. Further, researchers have found that rural...

Sustainability of a forest preservation project in India : the case of the Kalakad Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve

Creator:: Balasubramanian, Maniselvan
Abstract:: Numerous development projects are implemented in developing countries to attain economic and ecological development. However, in most cases, the encouraging results observed during the implementation phase terminated with the project period, raising concerns on these projects' sustainability after the project period has ended. This study focuses on this sustainability issue...
