A global scale analysis of the spatiotemporal distribution of foliar biomass for 1988

Creator:: Pross, Derek D.
Abstract:: Many ecological systems follow a seasonal cycle affecting primary production,carbon flux, and vegetative gas emissions. The seasonal variation of ecological systems are both affected by and have effects upon climatic factors. A quantitative estimate of the seasonal variation of vegetation is required to characterize ecological systems and their interaction with...

Eastward Routing of Glacial Lake Agassiz Runoff caused the Younger Dryas Cold Event

Creator:: Leydet, David J.
Abstract:: The purpose of this thesis is to analyze an abrupt case of climate change in the past as a means to understand the mechanisms that force climate change. By looking to past analogs of climate change, we hopefully will gain an understanding of these events, which could be used to...

Public Participation in Urban Policy – Solution Papers Founded on Objectivity and Mutual Respectfulness

Creator:: Zarins, Eriks
Abstract:: In recent times, public policy debates in the United States have been very contentious and dysfunctional. To help improve this situation, a multi-discipline research effort was conducted to look at "solution papers" as a form of public participation. Specifically, the roles of objectivity and mutual respectfulness were under consideration. Foundational...

A mathematical transformation of multi-angular remote sensing data for the study of vegetation change

Creator:: Friedel, Robert G.
Abstract:: Vegetation change is an important factor affecting the global carbon cycle, land-atmosphere interaction, and terrestrial ecology. The study of vegetation change on a global scale can be used to evaluate the impact of global climate change on terrestrial ecosystems. Satellite remote sensing can monitor vegetation change at the global scale,...

Forest Fire Effects on Radiative and Turbulent Fluxes over Snow : Implications for Snow Hydrology

Creator:: Gleason, Kelly E.
Abstract:: As a result of a warming climate, subsequent declining snowpack, and a century of fire suppression, forest fires are increasing across the western United States. However, we still do not fully understand how forest fire effects snowpack energy balance, nor the volume and availability of snow melt and associated water...

Analyzing the present and future Pacific-North American teleconnection using global and regional climate models

Creator:: Allan, Andrea M.
Abstract:: In this thesis I present the results of a comprehensive assessment of the Pacific-North American (PNA) teleconnection pattern in general circulation models (GCMs) and a regional climate model (RCM). The PNA teleconnection pattern is a quasi-stationary wave field over the North Pacific and North America that has long been recognized...

Mapping vegetation using landsat TM and ETM+ in Eritrea

Creator:: Iyob, Biniam
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to examine vegetation and vegetation change in Eritrea over a period from the mid 1980s to 2002 using satellite remote sensing, and relate observed changes to the recent history of drought and war in the region. Specific objectives were (1) to examine vegetation change...

Lava Flow Lobation and Margin Analysis

Creator:: Peckyno, Robert S.
Abstract:: Comparative investigations based on volcanic morphology suffer from the lack of a large terrestrial baseline for comparison. To fill this gap, the Lava Flow Morphology Database (LAMDA) was proposed as a GIS based central clearinghouse for remote and field investigations of volcanic morphology. This study presents an analysis of LAMDA’S...

Nuclear Power Plant Siting in the Columbia River Basin: Current Trends, Effects of Climate Change, and Associated Uncertainties

Creator:: Savotkina, Alexandra A.
Abstract:: This PhD dissertation describes and evaluates a geographical analysis of candidate areas for siting nuclear plants utilizing a wet cooling tower in the Columbia River Basin (CRB). It focuses on the analysis of water availability for cooling and how it may be limited by climate change effects on river streamflow....

Bridging Data and Theory: Developing Physics Informed Machine Learning for Snow Hydrology

Creator:: Steele, Hannah
Abstract:: Snow is a critical component of global climate regulation and provides water resources to over one billion people worldwide. Yet current measurement methods and modeling techniques lack the ability to fully capture snow characteristics such as snow water equivalent (SWE), snow depth, and density variable landscapes. In recent years, the...
