Comparison of Vermont and Oregon statutory land surveyor laws

Creator:: Norton, Robert Leon
Abstract:: Land use planning, zoning, and subdivisions are integrally tied to the land resource. The need for a land surveyor and for statutes which govern his operation when working in these areas is stressed. A brief history of Vermont and Oregon, illustrating the role of land surveys on settlement, is given....

Impact of Bicycle Rolling Stop Laws on Safety-Relevant Behaviors in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Woodside, Jasmin Barnes
Abstract:: Previous research has found some bicyclists disregard circular red indications and stop signs. Possible justifications include a desire to increase safety, save energy, save time, and increase visibility. Because of this, many bicyclists feel as though stopping at stop signs, especially in the absence of conflicting vehicular traffic, is an...

Remote Sensing Tools for Evaluating Climate Change Impacts in Coastal Environments

Creator:: Herrmann, Joan F.
Abstract:: Climate change has pervasive impacts on Earth’s diverse ecosystems. Observed and projected effects that impact coastal environments pose unique challenges. Coastal regions provide numerous ecosystem services (e.g., fisheries, nursery habitats, erosion control, and water filtering and detoxification), house 40% of the US population, and contribute to 58% of the national...

Environmental Regulations Reconsidered : Identifying Incentives and Barriers to Environmental Performance

Creator:: Craig, Kathleen D.
Abstract:: Attention has been drawn to the observation that environmental benefits under the current regulatory approaches are diminishing with respect to increased pollution control costs. Regulators have begun to appreciate that while environmental gains can still be achieved under the current command and control system, the most significant environmental gains have...

An Efficient Workflow and Accuracy Assessment for ICESat-2 and Multispectral Imagery Fusion for Bathymetric Mapping

Creator:: Babbel, Benjamin J.
Abstract:: Interest in mapping bathymetry from multispectral satellite imagery has grown steadily since the 1970s. Notwithstanding the significant advancements made during this time, one limitation is that the group of algorithms collectively referred to as Satellite Derived Bathymetry (SDB) generally require “seed depths,” hindering their use for areas lacking reliable reference...

Electron donor and chlorinated ethene effects on activity and community composition in anaerobic reductively dechlorinating consortia

Creator:: Sabalowsky, Andrew R.
Abstract:: This research focused on anaerobic transformation of trichloroethene (TCE), a groundwater contaminant. The mixed anaerobic Evanite culture (EV) was studied to determine community behavior and composition responses to different electron donors and chloroethene electron acceptors. The potential toxicity from high concentrations of TCE and its daughter product cis-1,2-dichloroethene (cDCE) was...

Fate of THMs in Columbia River basalts during aquifer storage and recovery

Creator:: Bertrand, Danelle
Abstract:: Use of basalt aquifers for aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) systems is increasing in the Pacific Northwest due to the large aerial extent of the Columbia River Basalt Group and the suitability of basalts as ASR reservoirs. However, the degradation of trihalomethanes (THMs), potentially carcinogenic disinfection by-products present in the...

Deterministic and stochastic control of nonlinear oscillations in ocean structural systems

Creator:: King, Paul E.
Abstract:: Complex oscillations including chaotic motions have been identified in off-shore and submerged mooring systems characterized by nonlinear fluid-structure interactions and restoring forces. In this paper, a means of controlling these nonlinear oscillations is addressed. When applied, the controller is able to drive the system to periodic oscillations of arbitrary periodicity....

The effect of elevated pressure and high shear on oxygen uptake rates in activated sludge

Creator:: Streebin, Leale E.
Abstract:: The purification capacity of an activated sludge process is highly dependent of the rate of oxygen transfer from the air to the microorganisms. This rate can be increased in an air diffusion system by subjecting the culture to high shear and high pressure. A study of the effects of high...

Efficient Topobathymetric Mapping and 3D Spatial Analysis of Estuaries Using Multi-Platform, Multi-Temporal Data

Creator:: Lambert, Selina E.
Abstract:: Frequent 3D spatial mapping of estuaries is critical to understanding and modeling changes that can impact ecological health (e.g., water quality) and ecosystem services (e.g., aquaculture, nutrient cycling, and shoreline stabilization). However, obtaining accurate, repeat topobathymetric data for estuaries is a major challenge. Because shallow estuaries are typically not used...
