Tools for environmental statistics : creative visualization and estimating variance from complex surveys

Creator:: Courbois, Jean-Yves Pip
Abstract:: Environmental monitoring poses two challenges to statistical analysis: complex data and complex survey designs. Monitoring for system health involves measuring physical, chemical, and biological properties that have complex relations. Exploring these relations is an integral part of understanding how systems are changing under stress. How does one explore high dimensional...

Paleomagnetism of Jurassic plutons in the central Klamath Mountains, southern Oregon and northern California

Creator:: Schultz, Karin L.
Abstract:: An understanding of the tectonic history of the Klamath Mountains is crucial for a valid paleogeographic reconstruction of the Pacific Northwest. However, prior to this study there were very few paleomagnetic (PM) data from the Klamath Mountains (KN), which resulted in conflicting interpretations about the role of the KM province...

F-tests in partially balanced and unbalanced mixed linear models

Creator:: Utlaut, Theresa L.
Abstract:: This dissertation considers two approaches for testing hypotheses in unbalanced mixed linear models. The first approach is to construct a design with some type of structure or "partial" balance, so that some of the optimal properties of a completely balanced design hold. It is shown that for a particular type...

Diagnostic tools for overdispersion in generalized linear models

Creator:: Ganio-Gibbons, Lisa M.
Abstract:: Data in the form of counts or proportions often exhibit more variability than that predicted by a Poisson or binomial distribution. Many different models have been proposed to account for extra-Poisson or extra-binomial variation. A simple model includes a single heterogeneity factor (dispersion parameter) in the variance. Other models that...

Satellite monitored dive characteristics of the northern right whale, Eubalaena glacialis

Creator:: Nieukirk, Sharon L.
Abstract:: The western North Atlantic population of the northern right whale (Eubalaena glacialis) was severely depleted by whaling over the last century. Despite over fifty years of protection, fewer than four hundred individuals are believed to exist in the North Atlantic. Relatively little is known about the diving behavior, respiratory physiology,...

Bird and rodent nesting in excavated cavities in Pinon-juniper woodland, southeastern Colorado

Creator:: Youkey, Donald E.
Abstract:: I studied bird and rodent nesting in woodpecker-excavated cavities in pifion-juniper (Pinus edulis-Juniperus monosperma) (P-J) woodland in southeastern Colorado during the spring and summer of 1987 and 1988. Two related investigations were conducted: one described characteristics of habitat used by birds and rodents nesting in woodpecker-excavated cavities and the other...

Assessment of ground water recharge and quality under agricultural production in Lane County, Oregon

Creator:: Shelby, Patrick M.
Abstract:: Assessment of the environmental impacts of an agricultural production system requires information on both soil water quality and solute flux. Passive Capillary Samplers (PCAPS), which sample water from the vadose zone using fiber glass wicks, have shown potential to provide both flux and solute concentration in unsaturated zone sampling but...
