Genomic Resource Development and Studies of Thermal Tolerance in Symbiotic Cnidarians

Creator:: Elder, Holland L.
Abstract:: Reef building corals are the foundation of an entire ecosystem, but they are threatened primarily by rising ocean temperatures due to climate change. Corals depend on a thermally sensitive symbiosis with intracellular dinoflagellates. As oceans warm, this symbiosis is disrupted and results in coral mortality, declining populations and degraded reefs....

The Economics of Electrifying Buildings in Corvallis: A Benefit-Cost Analysis on a Potential Corvallis Policy to Ban Natural Gas Infrastructure in New Residential Homes

Creator:: Grogan, Nolan B.
Abstract:: Over 76 cities throughout the United States have already adopted policies to limit the expansion of natural gas, mainly through updates to city codes that ban natural gas infrastructure in new construction. Rising concern over the environmental and public health impacts of methane - a greenhouse gas with a much...

What lies Beneath? Origin and Transition from the Shallow Epithermal Au-Ag Lithocap to Deeper Porphyry Cu Environment: Insights from the Magmatic Hydrothermal Deposits at Yerington, Nevada, and Summitville, Colorado

Creator:: Sepp, Michael D.
Abstract:: Near-surface advanced argillic hydrothermal alteration zones, also referred to as lithocaps, are characterized by quartz, alunite, clays (pyrophyllite and kaolinite group minerals), and minor F-bearing aluminosilicates (i.e., topaz, zunyite, diaspore, and APS) that form where water-, SO2-, and HF-rich gas condenses into shallow groundwater, acidifies, and reacts with rocks. The...

Impacts of Environmental Change on a Newly-characterized Symbiosis between a Novel Bacterial Parasite, Genus Aquarickettsia, and the Coral Acropora cervicornis

Creator:: Klinges, J. Grace
Abstract:: Coral reef ecosystems continue to be significantly altered by disease epizootics, but why some host populations remain resistant while others succumb to outbreaks remains unknown. Research across diverse animal and plant host systems has revealed that disease severity is strongly influenced by host genetics and by environmental influences on both...

Southern Ocean Science and Society: Case Studies at the Nexus of Research, Education, and Policy

Creator:: Hann, Ashley M.
Abstract:: Even in remote environments, human and natural systems are connected. Pressing environmental and social changes warrant the field of science to not only continue to enhance understanding of the natural world, but also consider the socio-ecological implications of research in the coupled human-natural system. Additionally, a need exists for communication...

Assessment of Extraterrestrial Tracers Ir, Pt and ³He in Polar Ice Cores

Creator:: Mehmel, Nicholas C.
Abstract:: This thesis focuses on the investigation of extraterrestrial tracers Ir, Pt and 3He in polar ice cores. These tracers may be used to identify characteristics of interplanetary dust particles, and to quantify the flux of extraterrestrial material during impact events, certain volcanic eruptions, and stable background periods. In the first...

Deepening: Place Relationship in the Valley of Lake Creek, Oregon

Creator:: McCumber, Elisabeth Carol Harvey
Abstract:: This is an IRB-exempt thesis exploring place relationship in the valley of Lake Creek, Oregon, at Triangle Lake. An interdisciplinary ethnography of place, it involves a synthesis of archaeological, historical, and ethnographic literature; an analysis of nineteenth-century Coos, Alseya (Alsea), and Kalapuya myth-texts from Native oral tradition; a history of...

Plankton food web dynamics and larval fish success : influence of prey and predator distributions on larval fish diet, growth, and assemblages in the Straits of Florida

Creator:: Gleiber, Miram R.
Abstract:: Survival of marine fishes during their early life history stage is tightly related to prey availability and predation pressure. Yet, our understanding of how individual larvae to entire assemblages are constrained by these factors is limited. We integrated biological sampling of larval fishes with fine-scale in situ imaging to relate...

Phenotypic and Transcriptomic Evolution of the Circadian Clock Network in an Intertidal Marine Crustacean

Creator:: Schneck, Daniel T.
Abstract:: Daily cyclical changes of light are brought on by the axial rotation of the Earth while seasonal changes in light are caused by Earth’s tilt as it revolves around the sun. Major life history traits, such as development, which are tied to metabolic processes, have a strong link to the...

Effects of Anthropogenic Stressors on Seagrass and Coral Microbiomes

Creator:: Wang, Lu
Abstract:: Seagrasses and coral reefs play important roles in nutrient cycling, coastal protection, and maintaining marine biodiversity. However, these coastal marine organisms are declining globally due to anthropogenic stressors, such as rising ocean temperatures, ocean acidification, and eutrophication. These organisms live in close association with their microbiomes, which can be beneficial...
