Today, Tomorrow, and Every Day After That: How Commercial Salmon Fishermen in Bristol Bay, Alaska Define and Work Toward a Sustainable Salmon Fishery

Creator:: Kuletz, Ivan
Abstract:: Rising human global population, appetite for seafood, and the effects of climate change have pushed commercial marine fisheries around the globe onto trajectories that are chillingly unsustainable. Input from fishermen on what it means to have a “sustainable fishery” is often absent or ignored. Some commercial fisheries are lauded for...

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...

Passing of the Torch: A Multiple Streams Approach Investigation into House Bill 2021 "100% Clean Energy for All"

Creator:: Crispin, Samuel L.
Abstract:: In 2021, Oregon’s legislature passed House Bill 2021 with relative ease. House Bill 2021 is a mandate for the state’s two largest utilities to reduce carbon emissions from electricity generation on a decreasing scale, reaching 100% below baseline levels by 2040. This ambitious piece of legislation, meant to reduce 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...

Voluntary environmental programs at an alpine ski area: influence of recreationists' knowledge, motivations, attachment, value orientations, and specialization

Creator:: Little, Christopher M.
Abstract:: Voluntary environmental programs (VEPs) have been created to encourage companies to engage in behaviors that mitigate environmental impacts (e.g., recycling, emissions reduction). Many ski areas participate in the Sustainable Slopes Program, an initiative that promotes VEPs in the ski area industry. Past research has addressed the performance of VEPs in...

Decomposition and nitrogen dynamics of red alder and Douglas-fir leaf litter in Oregon Coast Range riparian forests

Creator:: Matkins, Joselin
Abstract:: I examined factors regulating decomposition rates of red alder (Alnus rubra)) and Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) leaf litter in Coast Range riparian areas in western Oregon. Overall, this study was designed to examine the influence that leaf litter quality characteristics and decomposition site treatment have on decomposition rates, to provide a...

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...
