Nearshore distribution of barnacle and mussel larvae and oceanographic mechanisms of onshore transport and delivery

Creator:: Tyburczy, Joe A.
Abstract:: Recruitment of larvae from the plankton is an important determinant of community structure in marine systems. In populations of many marine species, recruitment determines the basic demographic parameters of immigration, emigration, and reproduction. Moreover, the effect of recruitment as an "ecological subsidy" can determine the strength of interactions among species...

3D vs. conventional volcanic hazard maps : a user study at Mount Hood

Creator:: Preppernau, Charles A.
Abstract:: Volcanic hazard maps inform the public on the nature and extent of the hazards that threaten them, but these maps are often challenging for those who are not trained in map use or geology. The maps in this study focus on lahars, a dangerous, fast, and far-reaching volcanic hazard that...

Forest Succession and Climate Change Effects on Long-Term Runoff Coefficients at Varying Timescales

Creator:: Crampe, Emily A.
Abstract:: Forest harvesting and climate change induced shifts in precipitation characteristics (i.e., intensity, type) may affect how water is partitioned on the landscape, with more water potentially being lost to evaporation or groundwater, and less water being partitioned into the stream. Long-term, paired watershed data allows us to assess these possible...

Using GIS to illustrate the geospatial and socio-ecological intersection between climate change, energy production, and sustainable fisheries management in Oregon

Creator:: Cohn, Leanne A.
Abstract:: There could be a geospatial and socio-ecological intersection between climate change, energy production, and sustainable fisheries management in the United States. Marine renewable energy generation efforts are currently being planned, studied, and initially implemented in the country as a response to climate change. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management is...

Community gradients of Arctic macrolichens in relation to succession, grazing and the environment

Creator:: Holt, Emily A.
Abstract:: The purpose of this dissertation was to define macrolichen community gradients in relation to succession, grazing and the environment. First, species scores indicating when macrolichen species appeared following disturbance were derived from the literature. Weighted averaging of these data with a community matrix created a successional score for each sample...

Predicting the stability, equilibrium response, and nonequilibrium dynamics of ecological systems

Creator:: Hosack, Geoffrey R.
Abstract:: In this dissertation, new theory and its applications are developed to predict three properties of complex ecological communities: stability, equilibrium response, and non-equilibrium dynamics. First, a graph-theoretic analysis identifies the interconnections in a complex ecosystem that promote or diminish stability (Chapter 2). The hierarchy of interactions that influences stability and...

Developing a plan for the national coordination of geospatial technology education : a community college perspective

Creator:: Sullivan, Deidre E.
Abstract:: Geospatial technology is a rapidly growing and changing field. The term geospatial technology (GST) refers to geographical information systems (GIS), global positioning systems (GPS), and remote sensing (RS), all emerging technologies that assist the user in the collection, analysis, and interpretation of spatial data. The speed at which new fields...

Environmental Magnetism as a Proxy for Heavy Metal Concentrations at Formosa Mine Superfund Site

Creator:: Upton, Tullia L.
Abstract:: Environmental magnetic techniques have been used to discriminate sources of sediments from a variety of natural and anthropogenic sources. In many studies, magnetic properties such as susceptibility, have served as a proxy for heavy metal concentrations. In these cases, there tends to be enhancement of magnetic minerals. The study presented...

Central place foraging and the winter village: a settlement pattern analysis in the lower Salmon River Canyon in Idaho

Creator:: Carlisle, Kendra
Abstract:: Hunter-gatherers depend on naturally occurring resources and, in order to survive, must overcome resource procurement challenges inherent in their environment. One challenge relates to the temporal and spatial availability of resources, which hunter-gatherers address, in part, through the strategic use of space to position themselves for optimal access to necessary...

Skew diffusion with drift : a new class of stochastic processes with applications to parabolic equations with piecewise smooth coefficients

Creator:: Arachchi Appuhamillage, Thilanka Iresh
Abstract:: This thesis consists of three subsequent parts addressing the applications of stochastic processes to the analysis and solutions of parabolic equations with discontinuous coefficients that are of mathematical interest. The first two parts consist of three manuscripts, in which we analyze solutions of Fickian convection dispersion equations with discontinuous coefficients...
