The influence of biological characteristics on fisheries co-management : a game theory perspective

Creator:: Trisak, Jiraporn
Abstract:: Co-management is considered an alternative approach to fisheries management, however, not all co-managed fisheries have been successful. Most studies discussing the success and failure of co-management have emphasized economic and social attributes of success and failure, such as fishery rights and institutional arrangements. The effect on co-management of biological characteristics,...

New Metrics, Modeling Applications, and Observational Strategies for Snowpacks in Remote, Data-Limited, Mountain Environments

Creator:: Crumley, Ryan L.
Abstract:: The topics in this dissertation center on the snow processes that dominate mountain environments in the Western U.S. and Alaska, particularly in locations lacking long-term observational datasets or locales that are difficult to access in-person. Some are currently glacierized or have been glaciated in the recent past. Each of the...

Factors Influencing Residential Risk Perception in Fire-Prone Landscapes

Creator:: Vandeventer, Alexia
Abstract:: Since the 1990s the U.S. and especially the Western U.S. have experienced more intense and costly fires. To help address this problem government agencies are increasingly looking at homeowners in fire-prone landscapes to mitigate fire risk. Part of this effort involves communicating risk and understanding how residents perceive risk. This...

Religion and Climate Change Views in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: James, Alexis R.
Abstract:: Anthropogenic climate change is an escalating environmental and humanitarian emergency, but American public opinion varies on the issue, particularly in terms of whether climate change is natural or human caused. Belief that climate change is human caused has been shown to be critical in terms of support for policy action....

Youth Recruitment and an Aging Workforce : A Pilot Study of Intergenerational Family Business in Oregon’s Commercial Fishing Industry

Creator:: Caracciolo, Deanna E.
Abstract:: Commercial fishing is a culturally and economically significant industry on the Oregon coast. The importance of this industry to human communities is often neglected in fisheries research, with economic and ecological data being favored by managers and decision makers. Recent observations in many coastal communities have indicated aging of fishermen...

Beliefs and attitudes influence willingness to pay recreation fees at an urban forest : incorporating attitudes in contingent valuation methods

Creator:: Moehrke, Caitlin
Abstract:: The current thesis presents contingent valuation research incorporating social psychological measures that investigates recreationists' willingness to pay recreation access fees at McDonald-Dunn Forest, Oregon. Context is provided through an extensive literature review of recreation fee management, issues and concerns related to recreation fees, recreationists' attitudes toward fees, relevant social psychological...

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...

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...
