Stable Isotope Constraints on Carbon Dioxide and Nitrous Oxide Variations at the Onset of the Last Glacial Period: New Ice Cores from Taylor Glacier, Antarctica

Creator:: Menking, James A.
Abstract:: New ice cores retrieved from the Taylor Glacier (Antarctica) blue ice area contain ice and air spanning the Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5/4 transition, a period of global cooling and ice sheet expansion. Chronologies were determined for the ice and air bubbles in the new ice cores by visually matching...

Understanding large resurgent calderas and associated magma systems : the Pastos Grandes Caldera Complex, southwest Bolivia

Creator:: Kaiser, Jason Frederick, 1985-
Abstract:: The Pastos Grandes Caldera Complex (PGCC) in southwest Bolivia has produced two large-volume (≥800 km³ DRE) dacite ignimbrites from a nested caldera source over a period of 5.5 Myr. In addition to the large-volume ignimbrites, a small-volume ignimbrite shield and post-climactic lavas define this composite system. Based on detailed field...

Projection model assessing the need for instructors of occupational subjects in Oregon's community colleges

Creator:: Daly, Crayton Brooks
Abstract:: The major thrust of this research was to design, test, and perfect an accurate and effective assessment technique, which would result in becoming an assessment model. For the purpose of developing this assessment model, the employment need for full-time instructors of occupational subjects in the community colleges within the state...

Late Pleistocene and Holocene glacier and climate change

Creator:: Marcott, Shaun Andrew
Abstract:: This dissertation presents results from three studies that address major scientific questions in glacial geology and paleoclimatology for the late Pleistocene and Holocene using relatively new geochemical and statistical techniques. Each of the studies attempts to answer a longstanding question in the respective field using geochemical or statistical methods that...

The methodology, implementation, and analysis of the isotopic composition of soil respired CO₂ in forest ecological research

Creator:: Kayler, Zachary Eric
Abstract:: Soils are the largest terrestrial pool of carbon, therefore it is critical to understand what controls soil carbon efflux to the atmosphere in light of current climate uncertainty. The primary efflux of carbon from soil is soil respiration which is typically categorized into autotrophic and heterotrophic respiration. These two components...

Paleoclimate, paleoventilation, and paleomagnetism as recorded in a 17kyr marine sediment record from the SE Alaska margin

Creator:: Davies, Maureen Helen
Abstract:: The deglacial behavior of the sub-Arctic North Pacific is poorly constrained, with many published records suffering from limited age control due to extensive post- depositional biogenic carbonate dissolution. Potential alternative dating methods could include the correlation of stable-isotopic and/or paleomagnetic secular variation records to an independently-dated regional template, however no...

Analyzing large paleoclimate datasets : implications for past and future climate change

Creator:: Shakun, Jeremy D.
Abstract:: This dissertation presents the results of statistical analyses of large climate datasets from two time intervals – the 20th century instrumental record and the proxy record of the last deglaciation – in order to understand the forcings and mechanisms of past climate variability. A longstanding question in climate dynamics concerns...

A policy preference function analysis of the forest sector in the Cote d'Ivoire

Creator:: Yapi, Atse
Abstract:: The main objective of this study was to offer an alternative methodology for forest sector modeling in developing economies. To this effect, a policy preference function was developed and estimated using data from the forest sector of the Cote d'Ivoire. The justification for this alternative framework for forest sector analysis...

Effects of spatial scale and heterogeneity on avian occupancy dynamics and population trends in forested mountain landscapes

Creator:: Frey, Sarah J. K.
Abstract:: Population trends and patterns in species distributions are the major currencies used to examine responses by biodiversity to changing environments. Effective conservation recommendations require that models of both distribution dynamics and population trends accurately reflect reality. However, identification of the appropriate temporal and spatial scales of animal response, and then...

Television and the sexual behavior of Black/African American female adolescents

Creator:: Wilburn, Amber
Abstract:: Sex on television has nearly doubled since 1998 while sexual risk and responsibly messages have decreased. During this time frame, television watching has become one of the most popular pastimes in the United States, especially among Black/African Americans. Black youth are more likely to report higher levels of satisfaction with...
