Volcanic vulnerability : Determining the relationship between urban proximity to volcanoes and human development

Creator:: Hogue, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: Many studies have looked at human settlements around individual volcanoes for volcanic risk analyses, but few have done a comparative study to identify possible global patterns. With the use of Landsat ETM+ data, this study identifies and compares urban proximity to the Decade Volcanoes to identify volcanic settlement patterns. These...

Using a Two-Species Individual-Based Model to Examine the Population Responses of Northern Spotted Owls to Experimental Removals of Barred Owls in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Perlman, Kathryn R.
Abstract:: Management goals for restoring populations of the federally-threatened northern spotted owl currently include experimental lethal removals of barred owls from demographic study areas within the overlapping ranges of the two species to examine northern spotted owl population response. As lethal removals of a bird species are time- and cost-intensive, predictive...

The distribution of geologic and artifact obsidian from the Silver Lake/Sycan Marsh geochemical source group, South-Central Oregon

Creator:: Thatcher, Jennifer J.
Abstract:: Geochemical characterization methods are commonly used in the reconstruction of prehistoric raw material use and procurement systems. Trace element studies of lithic source material and artifacts, specifically those made of obsidian, can reveal important information about the environmental and cultural factors which influence the prehistoric distribution of raw material. The...
