  • Female Genital Cutting in the Gambia: A Case for Tostan

    Creator:
    Kopper, Sarah
    Abstract:
    The World Health Organization (WHO) defines female genital cutting (FGC) as “all procedures that involve partial or total removal of the external female genitalia, or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons” (WHO, 2010). This practice has existed in Africa for thousands of years, but over the...

  • Evaluating safety at Oregon‘s isolated, high-speed, signalized intersections

    Creator:
    Kopper, Neil H.
    Abstract:
    Isolated approaches at signalized intersections with posted speed limits of 45 mph or greater generally experience large numbers of rear-end and angle collisions. A combination of less attentive drivers, high operating speeds, and less than ideal intersection characteristics can result in crash frequencies well above expected rates. A number of...

  • Deciphering Quaternary Geomagnetic, Glacial, and Depositional Histories Using Paleomagnetism in Tandem with Other Chronostratigraphic and Sedimentological Approaches

    Creator:
    Reilly, Brendan T.
    Abstract:
    Stratigraphy and chronology are essential to sedimentological study of Earth system histories. And, stratigraphy and chronology are often challenging and interesting problems themselves. The Quaternary (2.588 Ma - present) experienced paleoenvironmental and paleo-geomagnetic variability well outside the range of the recent instrumental record, providing the opportunity to place recent observations...

  • Modeling sage-grouse habitat using a state-and-transition model

    Creator:
    Evers, Louisa
    Abstract:
    Habitat for wildlife species that depend on sagebrush ecosystems is of great management concern. Evaluating how management activities and climate change may affect the abundance of moderate and high-quality habitat necessitates the development of models that examine vegetation dynamics, but modeling tools for rangeland systems are limited. I developed state-and-transition...

  • Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve Natural Resource Condition Assessment

    Creator:
    Adamus, Paul R.
    Abstract:
    We compiled existing data and information to characterize the condition and trends in high priority natural resources in Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve (EBLA, or "the Reserve"). We identified 29 indicators to evaluate seven major resource concerns. For each indicator we attempted to define reference conditions to which we could...
