  • Movement Ecology and Population Dynamics of the Endangered Hawaiian Duck (Anas wyvilliana)

    Creator:
    Malachowski, Christopher P.
    Abstract:
    Fundamental objectives in the field of conservation biology involve understanding the processes that influence small and declining populations and applying that knowledge to develop appropriate monitoring strategies and targeted management and conservation actions. Critical first steps in determining the relative role of factors that drive population declines involves estimation of...

  • Coastal Soil and Structure Behavior during Earthquake-Tsunami Multi-Hazards

    Creator:
    Qiu, Yingqing
    Abstract:
    Coastal multi-hazards, i.e., earthquakes followed by tsunamis, induce severe damage to coastal infrastructure. The multi-hazards can cause soil liquefaction, which is one of the major concerns for evaluating sediments transport potential and structure failure mechanisms. The objectives for this work is threefold. First, to build and validate a soil numerical...

  • Diversity and distribution of bacterial symbionts in Vesicomyid clams along the Cascadia Margin

    Creator:
    Robinson, Hannah R.
    Abstract:
    Deep-sea chemosynthetic ecosystems remain a frontier in marine science. Essential to their role in the ocean ecosystem are endosymbiotic bacteria which support larger megafauna, including the widespread symbiont-bearing Vesicomyid clams. The diversity and characteristics of these symbionts in these clams is only just beginning to be understood with technological advances...
