Groundwater arsenic concentrations and cancer incidence rates : a regional comparison in Oregon

Creator:: Fleming, Harmony S.
Abstract:: Arsenic contamination of groundwater is a global issue with national and local implications. Chronic exposure to arsenic in drinking water has been linked to both carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic health outcomes. The primary exposure route of inorganic arsenic is ingestion from drinking water due to natural contamination in groundwater from dissolution...

Oregon's Fishing Community Adapting to Change in Policy, Management, and Markets : Documenting Women's Roles and Adaptive Capacity in an Evolving Industry

Creator:: Calhoun, Sarah M.
Abstract:: Commercial fishing research often focuses on ecological (gear, stock assessment, traceability) or economic factors. Truly understanding the social-ecological system requires considering the entire "human dimension" and this includes the social, cultural, and legal/policy aspects as well. An understudied yet important factor is women's contribution to fishing at the family and...

Community-based sea turtle monitoring and management at Helen Reef, Hatohobei State, Republic of Palau

Creator:: Barr, Julie M.
Abstract:: Remote areas are frequently homes to regional subpopulations of endangered green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) and their essential habitat. Local communities are often the users and primary stewards of this valuable and charismatic resource. Recognizing this, a Hatohobeian community group in Palau has engaged in longterm monitoring and conservation management...

Understanding the impact of climate change on snowpack extent and measurement in the Columbia River Basin and nested sub basins

Creator:: Brown, Aimee Lyn
Abstract:: Shifting climate patterns in the Columbia River basin are affecting snow pack, and, as a result, stream flow throughout the region. In the Oregon Cascades, ever growing populations, and their associated activities, place increasing stress on an already over allocated hydrologic system. Political pressures, including the possibility of renegotiation or...

(Re)claiming forestry : a case study of women's empowerment

Creator:: Redmore, Lauren E.
Abstract:: Nonindustrial private forest (NIPF) owners control a significant portion of forestland nationwide. Even though women own or manage NIPF lands, we know very little about how women manage forestland and what barriers women face in forest management. In addition, while there are several forestry organizations available to NIPF owners, few...

Societal Responses to Using Genetic Engineering for Mitigating Chestnut Blight and Restoring American Chestnut Trees

Creator:: Petit, Joshua D.
Abstract:: Forests face health threats from pests and diseases (e.g., mountain pine beetle, emerald ash borer, chestnut blight [CB], Swiss needle cast), and other issues such as climate change. Interventions such as genetic engineering (GE) have shown promise for mitigating some of these threats. CB, for example, has impacted most American...

Mining Landsat Time-series Imagery to Understand Spatiotemporal Dynamics of the Urban Landscape: A Perspective from Local Climate Zone Mapping

Creator:: Xu, Chunxue
Abstract:: We live on an Urban Planet. The current unprecedented urbanization is accompanied by intensive land cover transition and demographic shifts from rural to urban livelihoods. Cities serve as cultural, economic, political centers that facilitate wealth creation and innovation of the society, sustaining human from multi-dimensions with large ecological footprints far...

Climate Changers: An Interdisciplinary Exploration of Reducing Personal Carbon Emissions

Creator:: Johnson, Carly A.
Abstract:: In an era of human-induced climate change, there is increasing interest in encouraging people to reduce their carbon dioxide (carbon) emissions by adopting low-carbon behaviors, or behaviors that reduce a person’s use of fossil fuels. I designed the Campus Carbon Challenge as a research and outreach project to gain a...

The poetics of water governance : differential language use in relation to water in El Salvador

Creator:: Ogden, Stephanie
Abstract:: The language of water policy both suggests and enforces the relationship that the public should have with water. Differences in language use between policy institutions and the public suggest that the understanding of water promoted through policy may be incongruent with the understanding of water held by the public. Semi-structured...
