Laws, Regulations and Action Plans for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances found in Michigan drinking water supplies

Creatore:: Whitley, Jamie M.
Abstract:: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have emerged in the last half century as concerning global contaminants. PFASs have been found in drinking water systems causing negative health impacts for those who rely on this as their primary source of drinking water. PFASs are man-made industrial chemicals composed of carbon chains...

We Can Work it Out: Implementation and Collaborative Governance

Creatore:: Knobloch, Jenna
Abstract:: Collaborative governance strives to address complex environmental problems by building cooperation and consensus among stakeholders. While there are many successful examples of collaborative governance, all too frequently collaborative groups come to an agreement in the meeting room only to struggle to bring their plans to fruition. What are the factors...

Understanding Wildfire Mitigation Behavior of Central Oregon Homeowners

Creatore:: Roper, Dan
Abstract:: A history of fire suppression, growth in the wildland-urban interface, and changing climate conditions, have created a fire regime in central Oregon that is growing in severity and intensity, putting more people and structures at risk and requiring a greater percentage of state and federal agency budgets to manage fires....

Dead wood dynamics and relationships to biophysical factors, forest history, ownership, and management practices in the Coastal Province of Oregon, USA

Creatore:: Kennedy, Rebecca S.H.
Abstract:: Dead wood patterns and dynamics vary with biophysical factors, disturbance history, ownership, and management practices. Through field and modeling studies, I examined the current and potential future amounts of dead wood in two landscapes and region-wide in the Coastal Province of Oregon. The objectives of the first study were to...

Private forests, public policy : oak conservation on family forests in Oregon’s Willamette Valley

Creatore:: Fischer, Alexandra Paige
Abstract:: In the United States, many of the thorniest natural resource conflicts occur on private lands. This is especially true in the Willamette Valley of Western Oregon where the hallmark habitat type, Oregon white oak woodland and savanna, is imperiled. Almost exclusively found on private land, Oregon white oak is threatened...

Public perceptions of sagebrush ecosystem management : a longitudinal panel study of residents in the Great Basin, 2006-2010

Creatore:: Gordon, Ryan Patrick
Abstract:: Intact sagebrush communities in the Great Basin are rapidly disappearing due to invasion of non-native plants, large wildfires, and encroachment of pinyon pine and juniper woodlands. Land management options include the use of prescribed fire, grazing, herbicides and mechanical treatments to reduce the potential for wildfire and restore plant communities....

The Missing Link: Use of Renewable Energy Codification in U.S. Cities

Creatore:: Mathur, Shivani
Abstract:: Cities of the world today house more than half the world’s population, contribute to 80 percent of the global GDP, consume approximately 70 percent of the global energy and produce 70 percent of the greenhouse gases produced worldwide (Floater et al., 2014; Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, 2014). City governments...

Utilizing relational and social network analysis to inform community-based climate change adaptation : a central Oregon case study

Creatore:: Jacobs, Derric B.
Abstract:: Central Oregon's landscape is rich in dry forests prone to frequent wildfires. Climate change studies and improved modeling indicate this region could experience conditions that result in an increase in number and severity of wildfires. With the potential for increased environmental hazards, the nearby communities face potential risks and vulnerabilities...

Where wildfire risk and social vulnerability coincide: mapping place vulnerability to wildfire over the coterminous US

Creatore:: Wigtil, Gabriel A.
Abstract:: The hazards-of-place model of vulnerability to environmental hazards posits that vulnerability has biophysical and social components. While biophysical characteristics are important in predicting locations of elevated wildfire risk, the social characteristics of human communities may help us predict locations of elevated wildfire impacts. We examine the relationship between biophysical and...

A Health Impact Assessment of Proposed Changes in Rental Housing Policy in Corvallis, Oregon

Creatore:: Householder, Sydney
Abstract:: Housing is the single most important environmental factor associated with high rates of mortality and morbidity (United Nations, 2007). Most Americans spend about 90% of their time indoors, and an estimated two-thirds of that is spent in the home (Klepeis et al., 2001). Studies show a link between substandard housing...
