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...

Sources and perceptions of controversy in establishing a protected area for biodiversity : a case study in the New River Area of Oregon

Creator:: Erickson, Dana C.
Abstract:: The process of land acquisition for the conservation of plants or wildlife habitat can raise controversial issues, issues often perceived differently by the individuals and groups involved. After the land acquisition process is completed, there is rarely an opportunity to analyze the differing perceptions of the issues and their relative...

Low Power Radio : An Antidote for Coastal Visitors Looking but not Seeing!

Creator:: Williams, Erin M.
Abstract:: State parks in Oregon provide important sites for visitor recreation and natural resource education. With the increasing number of visitors to Oregon coastal parks, tide pools and beach areas, there is growing need for site-specific marine education to enhance stewardship, interpretation and safety knowledge. The Oregon Sea Grant Program and...

Stream Chemistry in the Oregon Coast Range: Spatial and Temporal Variation

Creator:: Carini, Lya
Abstract:: Hydrological and biogeochemical processes occurring throughout a watershed are typically reflected in stream water chemistry, including in coastal watersheds. While Oregon Coast Range streams have been studied in the past, there is a dearth of knowledge in terms of seasonal temporal trends and spatial variability that this study seeks to...

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...

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...

The role of formative outdoor and family experiences on environmental belief formation in children and this role's implications for environmental education

Creator:: Smith, Vincent M.
Abstract:: The purpose of this research was to determine the role of formative experiences in the home and family pertaining to environment on children's overall environmental beliefs. Students attending environmentally related and non-environmentally related summer camps at a children's science museum served as test subjects in this study. A written instrument...

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...

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...

Community Visioning in Chaotic Times: Lessons Learned from the 2020 Tillamook County Community Visioning Project

Creator:: Gentilcore Ryan, Ava
Abstract:: In recent decades, local governments have desired to increase community engagement in collaborative governance processes, such as community visioning and strategic planning, in an effort to develop policies that are inclusive and supportive of those who live in the community. A key component of the community visioning process is the...
