Carbon storage in a Pacific Northwest conifer forest ecosystem : a chronosequence approach

Creator:: Janisch, Jack E.
Abstract:: As concern over global warming intensifies, sequestration and storage of atmospheric CO2 has become an important scientific and policy issue. Confusion persists, however, over interpretation of forest carbon (C) source-sink dynamics, in part because conclusions drawn depend on temporal and spatial scales of analysis (e.g. day-week scale vs. successional-scale), type...

Traditional and molecular approaches to Zucchini yellow mosaic virus resistance in Cucurbita

Creator:: Brown, Rebecca Nelson
Abstract:: Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) is an important disease of Cucurbita worldwide. Resistant cultivars are the best means of control. ZYMV resistance is quantitative in the wild species C. ecuadorensis, and is controlled by at least three genes in tropical C moschata. Very little molecular work has been done in...

Potential for using through-boring to improve groundline treatment of Australian wood species: A preliminary study

Creator:: Morrell, Jeffrey J. and Norton, Jack
Abstract:: An aging electricity distribution system and reduced availability of naturally durable tropical hardwoods in Australia will combine in the next decade to produce a major shortage of poles. One approach to mitigating this shortage is to utilize lower durability species and improve the penetration of preservatives into the refractory heartwood...

The study of cold leg thermal stratification in APEX-CE

Creator:: Antoine, Stephanie Y. L. Antoine
Abstract:: This research presents an analysis of thermal stratification in the reactor cold leg of the Advanced Plant Experiment-Combustion Engineering (APEX-CE). This phenomenon may be a precursor leading to a Pressurized Thermal Shock (PTS) event in a nuclear power plant. This work was performed in support of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory...

Beyond smoke and mirrors: a synthesis of fire policy and science

Creator:: Dellasala, Dominick A., Williams, Jack E., Deacon Williams, Cindy, and Franklin, Jerry F.
Abstract:: Fire performs many beneficial ecosystem functions in dry forests and rangelands across much of North America. In the last century, however, the role of fire has been dramatically altered by numerous anthropogenic factors acting as root causes of the current fire crisis, including widespread logging, road building, fire suppression, habitat...

Applegate Community Wildfire Protection Plan

Creator:: Applegate Partnership, Shaffer, Sandy, Shipley, Jack, and Coogle, Diana
Abstract:: The Applegate Fire Plan is a collaborative effort, hatched from an idea that was developed jointly by local citizens and federal agency folks in the Spring of 2001. Due to wide-spread participation throughout the Applegate Valley, general project coordination was organized by the Applegate Partnership, a non-profit communitybased group founded...

The inherent optical properties of the oceans: from closure to prediction

Creator:: Barnard, Andrew Heath
Abstract:: Precise in situ measurement of the spectral absorption and scattering coefficients in several regions has revealed patterns in the distribution of the inherent optical properties on spatial scales that were previously unobtainable. The precision of the measurements was found to be consistent and unbiased across a variety of oceanic regimes...

Siberian-Arctic shelf surface-sediments: sources, transport pathways and processes, and diagenetic alteration

Creator:: Viscosi-Shirley, Carolyn
Abstract:: This thesis investigates lithogenic sediments on the Siberian Arctic shelf, their sources, modes of dispersal, transport pathways and post-depositional diagenetic alteration. Working with cores collected from the Chukchi, East Siberian and Laptev Seas, we characterize surface-sediment elemental chemistry and clay mineralogy. We identify five regions with endmember sedimentary compositions. Comparing...

Perceptions of international students in a community college-based coordinated studies program

Creator:: Insley, Andrea E.
Abstract:: This study presented an in-depth exploration of international student perceptions of a coordinated studies program (CSP) at Seattle Central Community College. In conducting this research project, a phenomenological research methodology was used. Qualitative data were collected through participant observations, focus group, document review and individual in-depth interviews with nine students....

Seismic sequence stratigraphy and tectonic evolution of Southern Hydrate Ridge

Creator:: Chevallier, Johanna, Tréhu, Anne Martine, Bangs, Nathan Lawrence Bailey, Johnson, Joel E., and Meyer, H. Jack
Abstract:: This paper presents a seismic sequence and structural analysis of a high-resolution three-dimensional seismic reflection survey that was acquired in June 2000 in preparation for Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 204. The seismic data were correlated with coring and logging results from nine sites drilled in 2002 during Leg 204....
