Exploring biophysical linkages between coastal forestry management practices and aquatic bivalve contaminant exposure

Creator:

Scully-Engelmeyer, Kaegan, Granek, Elise F., Nielsen-Pincus, Max, Lanier, Andy, Rumrill, Steven S., Moran, Patrick, Nilsen, Elena, Hladik, Michelle L., and Pillsbury, Lori

Abstract:

Terrestrial land use activities present cross-ecosystem threats to riverine and marine species and processes. Specifically, pesticide runoff can disrupt hormonal, reproductive, and developmental processes in aquatic organisms, yet non-point source pollution is difficult to trace and quantify. In Oregon, U.S.A., state and federal forestry pesticide regulations, designed to meet regulatory...

Development of a Statistical Emulator of US Crop Yields via a Deep Neural Network Approach

Creator:

Proctor, Kyle W.

Abstract:

Agricultural systems are inherently complex; understanding these systems requires knowledge of climatology, plant physiology, soil physics, economics, and the human psychology of the farmers themselves. Decision support tools strive to leverage existing data to help guide stakeholders towards the best policies and practices for their situation. Quantitative crop simulation models...
