Global Patterns of the Contributions of Storm Frequency, Intensity, and Seasonality to Interannual Variability of Precipitation

Creator:: Good, Stephen P., Guan, Kaiyu, and Caylor, Kelly K.
Abstract:: Interannual variation in precipitation totals is a critical factor governing the year-to-year availability of water resources, yet the connection between interannual precipitation variability and underlying event- and season-scale precipitation variability remains unclear. In this study, tropical and midlatitude precipitation characteristics derived from extensive station records and high-frequency satellite observations were...

Toledo Bend: The Potential of Changing from Hydropower to Water Sales

Creator:: Thompson, Gloria J.
Abstract:: This capstone project is presented for completion of Oregon State University’s (OSU) Master of Natural Resources Program. This project is an expansion of the author’s research completed as part of the Water Conflict Management and Transformation Certificate and as part of the overall Master of Natural Resources Program. Located on...

The Association Between Extreme Climate and Diarrheal Illness in North America

Creator:: Lyon-Colbert, Amber
Abstract:: The etiology and transmission of bacterial diarrheal pathogens is complex, making evaluating the association between extreme climate and diarrheal illnesses in North America challenging. Changes in climate may impact the survival, reproduction, and distribution of pathogens that cause diarrheal illness. Evidence supports the hypothesis that reproduction, survival, and transmission ability...

Physiological Responses of Loblolly Pine and Douglas-fir Seedlings from Various Provenances to Timing and Frequency of Drought Stress

Creator:: Mosel, Jamie E.
Abstract:: Drought is expected to increase in many parts of the world and has been shown to affect tree physiology and growth, with seedlings being particularly vulnerable. Seedling drought responses are often species dependent, and even within species different populations may demonstrate a spectrum of responses to drought, from susceptibility to...

Precipitation-snowmelt timing and snowmelt augmentation of large peak flow events, western Cascades, Oregon

Creator:: Jennings, Keith S.
Abstract:: Despite advances in the understanding of rain-on-snow storms and their resulting peak flows, little is understood about the response of snowmelt to precipitation and the relative timing of the two at multiple temporal scales within such events. To address this issue, climate, snowmelt, and streamflow data were analyzed for 26...

Ship-Based Observations of the Diurnal Cycle of Southeast Pacific Marine Stratocumulus Clouds and Precipitation

Creator:: Burleyson, Casey D., de Szoeke, Simon P., Yuter, Sandra E., Wilbanks, Matt, and Brewer, W. Alan
Abstract:: The diurnal cycle of marine stratocumulus in cloud-topped boundary layers is examined using ship-based meteorological data obtained during the 2008 Variability of American Monsoon Systems (VAMOS) Ocean–Cloud–Atmosphere–Land Study Regional Experiment (VOCALS-REx). The high temporal and spatial continuity of the ship data, as well as the 31-day sample size, allows the...

No-Tillage Cropping Systems Can Replace Traditional Summer Fallow in North-Central Oregon

Creator:: Machado, Stephen, Pritchett, Larry, and Petrie, Steven
Abstract:: The traditional winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)–summer fallow (WW–SF) using conventional tillage (CT), the predominant cropping system in eastern Oregon, has increased soil erosion and depleted soil organic carbon (SOC). This research evaluates no-tillage (NT) systems designed to reduce these negative impacts on soil. In this long-term experiment (2004–2010), WW–SF...

Defect Mechanisms in Bismuth-based Perovskites

Creator:: Kumar, Nitish
Abstract:: The aim of this research is to develop a fundamental understanding of the dominant defect species and the relevant defect equilibrium conditions for bismuth-containing perovskites to help guide the development of these materials for emerging applications. This is of paramount importance for many demanding applications, because ultimately the defect equilibria...

Greater Sage-grouse conservation assessment and strategy for Oregon: A plan to maintain and enhance populations and habitat

Creator:: Hagen, Christian
Abstract:: Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) were once found in most grassland and sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) habitats east of the Cascades in Oregon. European settlement and conversion of sagebrush steppe into agricultural production led to extirpation of the species in the Columbia Basin by the early part of the 1900s, but sagebrush...

Evaluating Biochar for the Sustainable Treatment of Heavy Metals in Stormwater: Characteristics, Mechanisms, and Barriers

Creator:: Burch, Sarah
Abstract:: Heavy metals, such as copper, zinc, and cadmium, are ubiquitous in stormwater and potentially toxic to aquatic organisms at low concentrations. Removal of heavy metals contamination by conventional treatment is expensive and does not always reduce metals concentrations low enough to ensure safety of all aquatic species. This research seeks...
