The Dynamics of the ENSO–Atlantic Hurricane Teleconnection: ENSO-Related Changes to the North African–Asian Jet Affect Atlantic Basin Tropical Cyclogenesis

Creator:: Shaman, Jeffrey, Esbensen, Steven K., and Maloney, Eric D.
Abstract:: The nature of the teleconnection linking ENSO variability with Atlantic basin tropical storm formation is investigated. Solutions of the linearized barotropic vorticity equation forced with August–October El Niño event divergence produce upper-tropospheric vorticity anomalies over the Sahel and at the mouth of the North African–Asian (NAA) jet over the tropical...

Paleoclimatic changes revealed by soil carbonate, and stable carbon and oxygen isotopes, Eastern Korinthia, Greece

Creator:: Bruno, Caroline R.
Abstract:: Soil carbonate is used to interpret paleoenvironmental conditions in the Eastern Korinthia, Greece, with the use of stable carbon and oxygen isotopes. The Eastern Korinthia consists of a series of marine terraces ranging in age from ~600 to 70.2 ka. The lateral stratigraphic context of the marine terraces allows the...

Intraseasonal Variability of the West African Monsoon and Atlantic ITCZ

Creator:: Maloney, Eric D. and Shaman, Jeffrey
Abstract:: Intraseasonal variability of boreal summer rainfall and winds in tropical West Africa and the east Atlantic is examined using daily Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) precipitation and the NCEP–NCAR reanalysis during 1998–2006. Intraseasonal precipitation variability is dominated by two significant spectral peaks at time scales near 15 and 50 days,...

The fate of organic and inorganic nitrogen inputs in an old-growth forest of the central Oregon Cascade Range

Creator:: Holub, Scott M.
Abstract:: Forests in the Pacific Northwest receive very little nitrogen through atmospheric deposition and thus studying the nitrogen cycle in this region can provide insights into how the unpolluted nitrogen cycle functions. I examined the fate of organic nitrogen versus inorganic nitrogen and the effect of tamlins on N retention by...

Exploring a fluorescence-based analytical method for Ba in natural waters and a field study of the major ion chemistry of Lake Issyk-Kul, Kyrgyzstan

Creator:: Qiu, Xuemei
Abstract:: Two separate research projects are described here. One involves development of a new analytical method for determination of Ba in seawater and other natural waters. The other is a collaborative field study of the chemistry of Lake Issyk-Kul, Kyrgyzstan. The method project explored an ion chromatography-fluorescence detection bench-top approach for...

Non-linear nitrogen dynamics and calcium depletion along a temperate forest soil nitrogen gradient

Creator:: Sinkhorn, Emily R.
Abstract:: Understanding how N availability influences base cation stores is critical for long-term ecosystem sustainability. Indices of nitrogen (N) availability and the distribution of nutrients in plant biomass, soil, and soil water were examined across ten young, unpolluted Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) stands in the Oregon Coast Range spanning a three-fold soil...

Comparison of head morphometric traits within five selected performance types of Quarter Horses (Equus caballus)

Creator:: Smith, Elana Morgana
Abstract:: A study was conducted to investigate if morphometric facial measurements could be utilized to differentiate five categorical performance types of Quarter Horses. The five categories being Western, Halter, English, Reining, and Cutting. The measurements were collected from 323 registered Quarter Horses representing animals who ranged in age from one year...

On his own terms : William James, identity, and the development of American Psychology

Creator:: Stoller, Kevin R.
Abstract:: William James came of age at a time of great social and intellectual change in the United States. During this period, new professional identities proliferated, and a new culture of professionalization developed with important ramifications for conceptions of individual and social identity. Professionalization was also closely related to key intellectual...

Karl Jordan : a life in systematics

Creator:: Johnson, Kristin Renee
Abstract:: Karl Jordan (1861-1959) was an extraordinarily productive entomologist who influenced the development of systematics, entomology, and naturalists' theoretical framework as well as their practice. He has been a figure in existing accounts of the naturalist tradition between 1890 and 1940 that have defended the relative contribution of naturalists to the...

Talking back: voices from an empty house: the interior space of the Frantz-Dunn House as artifact

Creator:: Bryant, Kathleen J.
Abstract:: The 134-year old Frantz-Dunn House in Hoskins, Oregon is an intact, well-preserved example of rural Gothic architecture in the Willamette Valley. The old farmstead sits on a former Civil War Fort site and represents a link in the history of the region to the larger patterns of expansion in America...
