Exploring the persistence of Oregon white oak in the Willamette Valley

Creator:: Juhl, Eli
Abstract:: Over the last 150 years, Oregon white oak habitat in the Willamette Valley has been converted to support grass crops, orchards and vineyards, cities, and conifer forests, nearly extirpating it from the Willamette Valley. Yet Oregon white oak offers many ecosystem services to the Willamette Valley and its residents. Recent...

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...

Empowering the Experts: Design, Implementation, and Evaluation of a Climate Change Communication Workshop

Creator:: Vickery, Katrina
Abstract:: As climate change and its associated environmental and socioeconomic impacts become increasingly severe and imminent across the United States, it has become imperative for the public to be aware of and actively engaged with this issue. Although scientists generally perceive outreach in a positive light, a critical barrier that tends...

Reynolds Stress Tensor Systems and Applications to Nonuniqueness of Weak Solutions to Fluid

Creator:: Donaghue, Patrick E.
Abstract:: In the 1954 John Nash [1] showed, through use of an iterative scheme of approximate embedding maps, that the sphere S² could be isometrically embedded into a ball of any radius by a C¹ map. In the 1980's M. Gromov [2] generalized Nash's work to the h-principal and convex integration....

Numerical Study of Convexity Splitting Scheme for Coupled Phase Field and Stefan Free Boundary Problems

Creator:: Bigler, Lisa A.
Abstract:: In this work, we consider a convexity splitting scheme for a coupled phase field and energy equation, a modification of Stefan problem. The Stefan problem is a free boundary value problem that models the temperature in a homogeneous multiphase medium. Each phase is modeled using a heat diffusion parabolic partial...

Take me out to (analyze) the ballgame : visualization and analysis techniques for big spatial data

Creator:: Comiskey, Chris
Abstract:: For spatial data visualization, we approach two problems and provide solutions: heat map resolution selection, and heat map confidence interval presentation. Analysts often present spatial data in gridded heat maps, at some chosen resolution. However, many data types vary in density across the domain. We develop variable-resolution heat maps to...

Valuing options in a discrete time regime switching model with jumps

Creator:: Chunikhina, Evgenia V.
Abstract:: In this work, we provide a detailed analysis of a discrete time regime switching financial market model with jumps. We consider the model under two different scenarios: known and unknown initial regime. For each scenario we investigated conditions that guarantee the model's completeness. We find that the model under consideration...

The use of surface energy balance models as a means to quantify changes in glacier mass balance : an application to the Collier Glacier

Creator:: Beedlow, Andrew Cody
Abstract:: This thesis presents the results of an investigation into the measured and modeled mass balance of the Collier Glacier, a small (0.70 km²), valley glacier located in the Oregon Cascade Range (44° 10' N, 121° 47' W). Here we present mass-balance measurements conducted for the 2009 and 2010 balance years...

Nonlinear solvers for a model problem of fluid flow in the subsurface

Creator:: Biederman, Shannon Miriah
Abstract:: Water is one of the most biologically and economically important substances on Earth. A significant portion of Earth's water subsists in the subsurface. Our ability to monitor the flow and transport of water and other fluids through this unseen environment is crucial for a myriad of reasons. One difficulty we...

Abrupt deglacial climate changes in the North Pacific and implications for climate tipping points

Creator:: Praetorius, Summer Kate
Abstract:: Paleoclimate archives have revealed abrupt climate events that are superimposed on more gradual climate changes throughout the last glacial and deglacial periods. The underlying causes of such rapid climate changes are still poorly understood, but the strong expression of these events in northern hemisphere records likely points to climatic mechanisms...
