The influence of large-scale processes on natural communities has become one of the central issues of modern ecology. I combined field and laboratory studies to investigate the effects of variation in coastal upwelling on rocky intertidal communities along the central Oregon coast. I examined whether the growth of intertidal barnacles...
An instrument on the Pathfinder lander has been designed to measure the structure of Mars’ atmosphere during spacecraft entry and descent from ~150 km altitude to the surface, and to measure meteorological parameters after landing for the landed duration of the mission. This is specified to be nominally 30 Mars...
This thesis addresses the costs of implementation of the Endangered Species Act (ESA)
in the particular case of Snake River chinook salmon. Unlike most previous listings under
the act, restoration of Snake River salmon will have impacts on a very broad array of

The primary purpose of this study was to determine if inservicing Agriculture Science and Technology (AST) teachers over a new curriculum, resulted in increased student achievement. Specific objectives were to: 1) determine the subject areas (lessons) for a curriculum for teaching Integrated Pest Management (IPM); 2) develop a curriculum for...
Global increases in ultraviolet-B radiation (UVBR:290-
320 nm) resulting from decreases in stratospheric ozone
concentration have the potential to alter marine primary
production and affect global climate and marine trophic
dynamics. Effects of UVBR on phytoplankton carbon fixation
were determined from open ocean exposure studies conducted
off the coast of...
Chazzonos, as presented here for my thesis, represents three chapters
of what will be a novel of the same name. Chazzonos is about Hal
Perlmutter, a cantor, who at the outset of the novel, is resigning his position
of twenty years. The novel progresses as Hal decides where he will...
