Specification of local surface weather elements from large-scale general circulation model information, with application to agricultural impact assessment

Creator:: Wilks, Daniel S.
Abstract:: A procedure for model-assisted climate impact assessment is developed. The approach combines data from observations and atmospheric general circulation models (GCNs), and provides the basis for a potentially valuable means of using information derived from GCMs for climate impact assessments on local scales. The first component of this procedure is...

Environmental contaminants in male river otters collected from Oregon and Washington, 1994-99, with reproductive organ hypoplasia observed in otter males

Creator:: Grove, Robert Allan
Abstract:: A large number of river otter (Lontra canadensis) males were collected from areas of high and low contaminant concentrations throughout western Oregon and Washington during the fall and winter of 1994-99. Few significant non-reproductive organ morphometric differences were found in the large series of male otters collected, except for adrenal...

Assessment of exposure and response to atmospherically-derived contaminants in U.S. Arctic freshwater fish

Creator:: Allen-Gil, Susan M.
Abstract:: The Arctic has long been considered to be a pristine environment, far from population centers and pollution sources. The detection of synthetic organochlorine compounds in various elements of the Arctic food web has confirmed the global dispersion of pollutants, particularly of persistent compounds such as organochlorines and heavy metals. Levels...

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...

Nontraditional students in nontraditional graduate programs in education : coping with the conflicts between family and career responsibilities and the institutional demands of higher education

Creator:: Brazier, Allan A.
Abstract:: This qualitative study was designed to identify factors that might affect the psychological and educational wellness of nontraditional students in nontraditional graduate programs in Education. Specifically, informants were selected purposefully from three Oregon State University extended-campus graduate programs in Education. Student informants were working professionals with family obligations. Faculty informants...

Development of innovative applications for passive sampling devices : monitoring bioavailability, risk from exposure and environmental mixture toxicity

Creator:: Allan, Sarah E.
Abstract:: Chemicals must be bioavailable for there to be a potential for exposure and consequent risk to human or environmental health. Passive sampling devices (PSDs) are used to quantify the time-integrated concentration of bioavailable contaminants. We demonstrate that PSDs can be paired with the zebrafish developmental toxicity bioassay to produce site-specific,...

Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) : what we can and cannot see in the forest for the trees

Creator:: Edson, Curtis B.
Abstract:: Recently concerns over anthropogenic carbon pollution have received increased global attention and research in forest biomass and carbon sequestration has gained momentum. Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) remote sensing has in the last decade demonstrated forest measurement and biomass estimation potential. The project objective was to compare LiDAR forest biomass...

Human Alteration of a Neotropical Landscape Drives Long-term Changes in its Forest Bird Communities

Creator:: Curtis, Jenna R.
Abstract:: Human alteration of natural landscapes leads to biodiversity loss, often from a combination of area effects and fragmentation effects. Smaller habitat patches support fewer species than large ones and incur additional consequences from isolation. Efforts to preempt biodiversity loss from insular habitat fragments are complicated by individualistic species responses and...
