Poly- and perfluorinated alkyl substance release from landfills and landfill model reactors

Creator:: Allred, Brent McKay
Abstract:: Research and public concern of poly and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) as environmental contaminants has increased significantly due to the increasing number of reports of their detection in humans and wildlife. PFASs have a number of commercial applications including surfactants, coatings, polymers, and levelers, which are used on consumer products like...

Homeownership : still the American Dream? Perceptions of homeownership in the post crisis era

Creator:: Micek, Thomas P.
Abstract:: "The American Dream" is an expression familiar to all Americans and the realization of the American Dream is tied closely to homeownership (Clinton, 1995). The recent financial crisis, with the housing and financial markets at levels not seen since the Great Depression, has resulted in widespread unemployment, continually dropping home...

An Ecological Approach to Integrating Conservation and Highway Planning Volume 2

Creator:: Institute for Natural Resources, NatureServe, Parametrix, CH2M HILL, and Transposition Research Board of the National Academies
Abstract:: This report is intended to help transportation and environmental professionals apply ecological principles early in the planning and programming process of highway capacity improvements to inform later environmental reviews and permitting. Ecological principles consider cumulative landscape, water resources, and habitat impacts of planned infrastructure actions, as well as the localized...

Identification of Outer Continental Shelf Renewable Energy Space-Use Conflicts and Analysis of Potential Mitigation Measures

Creator:: Conway, Flaxen D. L., Hall-Arber, Madeleine, Harte, Michael, Hudgens, Daniel, Murray, Thomas, Pomeroy, Carrie, Weiss, John, Wiggin, Jack, and Wright, Dawn
Abstract:: Outer Continental Shelf Study BOEM 2012-083. The ocean accommodates a wide variety of uses that are separated by time of day, season, location, and zones. Conflict can and does occur, however, when two or more groups wish to use the same space at the same time in an exclusive manner....

Fine scale foraging behavior of gray whales in relation to prey fields and vessel disturbance along the Oregon Coast

Creator:: Sullivan, Florence A.
Abstract:: The desire to understand the spatial and temporal drivers of animal behavior and distribution relative to scale is central to movement ecology. Optimal foraging theory states that a predator should continue exploiting a patch until it is no longer profitable to do so. As human developments increasingly encroach on the...

Evaluating Field Production Issues by Investigating Grain Dormancy and Plant Segregation Patterns in Soft White Winter Wheat

Creator:: McCarthy, Christy A.
Abstract:: Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a highly valuable crop that makes up a large portion of the world’s food. However, breeding for improved varieties with desirable characteristics can be a challenge. This research examined two different issues wheat breeders deal with throughout the selection process all the way to production of...

Heat flow results from plate boundary observatory boreholes in California

Creator:: McDonald, Kyle Joseph
Abstract:: An integral component to understanding lithospheric rheology, fault mechanics, and geodynamic processes is knowledge of the subsurface thermal regime. This study presents thermal data from 26 new borehole sites drilled during the installation of borehole strain meters as part of the Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO). These data extends existing coverage...

Interpreting Climate of the Past from High-Resolution Ice Core Records of Methane

Creator:: Lee, James E.
Abstract:: Methane is a product of biogeochemical processes which respond to changes in climate. The history of atmospheric methane is recorded by ice cores providing insight into past changes in these biogeochemical processes. This dissertation is comprised of three studies which focus on centennial- and millenial-scale variability of methane from ice...

Using Satellite Imagery to Count Nesting Albatross from Space

Creator:: Dolliver, Jane E.
Abstract:: One fundamental concern in conservation biology is species abundance. For many taxa, however, these data are costly to obtain via direct observation and thus limited in geographic or temporal scope. Very high-resolution satellite imagery provides a means to address these limitations and provide remotely-sensed counts of large, colonial species. We...
