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...

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...

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...

Competition release and climate change effects on a moisture-demanding tree species in a dry system

Creator:: Seager, S. Trent
Abstract:: Climate change and the increase in meteorological drought have generated global concern over the persistence of ecosystems already in decline from decreased moisture. Evidence suggests dryland ecosystems have been more impacted by drought because of their tightly coupled growth-water relationships and high sensitivity to environmental shift. Removal of competing vegetation...

"Identity in the making" in an adolescent new media maker experience : the role of interest, figured worlds, and use of authentic tools and practices

Creator:: Wyld, Jennifer N.
Abstract:: Human development researchers consider adolescence a rich time for interest development and identity exploration. A relatively new movement in the Free-Choice Learning (FCL) arena, the Maker movement, offers learners interest-driven, experiential, often collaborative, and process-oriented activities ranging from game design (computer-based and otherwise) and robotics, to sewing LEDs into clothing...

Factors Influencing Streamflow Generation Processes in Rain-dominated, Coastal Watersheds in Oregon

Creator:: Pazdral, Rosemary
Abstract:: Relative to other systems in the PNW, the rain-dominated, coastal watersheds of western Oregon have shallow aquifers. Given the seasonality of streamflow and storage limitations in coastal, rain-dominated watersheds, changes in the temporal patterns of precipitation have the potential to magnify the risk of extreme streamflow conditions during both high-...

Utilizing cooperative fisheries research to monitor and understand harmful algal blooms along the Oregon coast

Creator:: Gilliland, Raquel C.
Abstract:: Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are a problem for coastal communities, the fishing industry, and coastal organisms. Pseudo-nitzschia spp. is a regularly occurring diatom in Oregon’s coastal waters. At times, Pseudo-nitzschia spp. can facultatively produce domoic acid, a neurotoxin that can bioaccumulate in the food chain. While regular shore-based sampling provides...
