This Earth Emanating Enchantment: What Wonder and Joy Can Teach Us Within Traditional Western Environmentalism

Creator:: Ohotnicky, Colette E.
Abstract:: G.K. Chesterton once stated, “I am concerned with a certain way of looking at life, which was created in me by the fairytales, but has since been meekly ratified by the mere facts….The only words that ever satisfied me as describing Nature are the terms used in the fairy book,...

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...

Multi-Centennial Response of ENSO Under Varying Atmospheric CO2

Creator:: Alder, Jay R.
Abstract:: The El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) affects millions of people via global teleconnections in the form of drought and torrential rainfall that impact agriculture and food production in many countries. Yet how ENSO will respond to a warming world is uncertain and a greatly debated topic. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate...

Lamprey of the Goose Lake Basin: A Multi-Scale Habitat & Distribution Analysis

Creator:: Dickey, Jacob C.
Abstract:: Two ecologically important lamprey species found in the endorheic Goose Lake Basin face conservation threats; however, relatively little is known about their habitat needs or spatial distribution. Lamprey and their habitat are often found to be patchy; to evaluate these relationships for the lamprey in this basin, I utilized a...

Distribution and habitat use of bull trout following the removal of nonnative brook trout

Creator:: Renner, Dirk
Abstract:: Invasion by nonnative brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) often results in replacement of bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) in western North America, but the causal mechanisms are not well understood. Removal of brook trout from 1992 to 2000 from Sun Creek in southern Oregon, provided an opportunity to investigate the changes in...

Signatures in the Subsurface - Big & Small Data Approaches for the Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Geologic Properties & Uncertainty Reduction

Creator:: Rose, Kelly Kathleen
Abstract:: Despite more than two centuries of exploration, including more than six million deep wellbores with depths exceeding 40,000 feet in some parts of the world, our ability to constrain subsurface processes and properties remains limited. Characteristics of the subsurface vary and can be analyzed on a variety of spatial scales....

Fabrication of a flexible glucose sensing catheter for human implantation

Creator:: Matthews, David J.
Abstract:: Flexible electronics processing techniques were applied to integrate a glucose sensor with a hormone-delivery catheter in order to create a cheap and minimally invasive method for patients with type 1 diabetes to continually monitor and control their blood sugar levels. Ultimately, this work intends to move toward the development of...

An Integrated Approach to Gauge the Effects of Global Climate Change on Headwater Stream Ecosystems

Creator:: Bury, Gwendolynn W.
Abstract:: Climate change is predicted to affect ecosystems, including systems already stressed by human impacts. One ecosystem that is already highly impacted by human land use is the cold headwater stream system of the Pacific Northwest. One method of assessing the function of an ecosystem is by using an indicator species....

Effects of spatial scale and heterogeneity on avian occupancy dynamics and population trends in forested mountain landscapes

Creator:: Frey, Sarah J. K.
Abstract:: Population trends and patterns in species distributions are the major currencies used to examine responses by biodiversity to changing environments. Effective conservation recommendations require that models of both distribution dynamics and population trends accurately reflect reality. However, identification of the appropriate temporal and spatial scales of animal response, and then...
