  • The Ibis, journal of the British Ornithologists' Union : a pre-synthesis portrait

    Creator:
    Johnson, Kristin Renee
    Abstract:
    In 1959 the British Ornithological journal, The Ibis, published a centenary commemorative volume on the history of ornithology in Britain. Over the previous few decades, the contributors to this volume had helped focus the attention of ornithologists on the methods, priorities, and problems of modem biology, specifically the theory ofevolution...

  • Diurnal and subdiurnal variability in the Mars Pathfinder Presidential meteorology sessions

    Creator:
    Bennett, Scott
    Abstract:
    The Mars Pathfinder (MPF) arrived on the Martian surface on 4 July 1997 to become only the third successful landed mission to Mars, recording surface meteorological data intermittently over a period of 83 Martian days ("sols"). The in situ observations made by the MPF meteorology (MET) experiment were recorded at...

  • Applied Merit Pay Challenges

    Creator:
    Creighton, Jason
    Abstract:
    From an organizational perspective, economic incentives are often used as a tool to induce behaviors which align the goals of individuals with the organization. As a fundamental concept, varied types of merit pay have been utilized to keep organizational and individual motives in sync. This can be illustrated in contracts...

  • Linking dynamics of the near-surface flow to deeper boundary layer forcing in the nocturnal boundary layer

    Creator:
    Smoot, Alexander R.
    Abstract:
    Weak-wind flow in the nocturnal boundary is one of the most poorly understood problems in the field of meteorology. The understanding of weak-wind flows is essential for the improvement of regulatory dispersion models which are currently rendered invalid under weak-wind conditions and stable stratification. Recently there have been increased efforts...

  • Biases in droplet radii and optical depths of marine stratocumulus retrieved from MODIS imagery

    Creator:
    Boeke, Robyn C.
    Abstract:
    The 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessment established that the effect of clouds on climate contributes the largest uncertainty in predicting the future climate. Satellite observations provide an opportunity for learning about the behavior of clouds. This thesis seeks to assess the accuracy of cloud properties retrieved from multispectral...

  • Impacts of Climate Change on Fuel Management Decisions and Implications for Fire Risk

    Creator:
    Kato, Nozomi
    Abstract:
    Private forest owners face an increasing risk of economic damage from extreme wildfires as the climate becomes warmer and drier. This thesis empirically estimates the influence of climate on private forest owners’ management decisions using plot-level data in the Pacific states of the U.S. Econometric models are specified where the...

  • Evaluation of precipitation data applied to hydrological simulation using MMS-PRMS for the Whitewater River Basin in Kansas

    Creator:
    Lin, Wei
    Abstract:
    Precipitation is one of the most important components contributing to hydrological dynamics. Spatially distributed precipitation data can be obtained by satellite, radar, rain gages, etc, to serve various purposes. Currently, the most commonly used precipitation data still rely on gage-based measurement techniques that provide timely precipitation information with high quality...

  • The Hanford Laboratories and the growth of environmental research in the Pacific Northwest, 1943 to 1965

    Creator:
    Ellis, D. Erik
    Abstract:
    The scientific endeavors that took place at Hanford Engineer Works, beginning in World War II and continuing thereafter, are often overlooked in the literature on the Manhattan Project, the Atomic Energy Commission, and in regional histories. To historians of science, Hanford is described as an industrial facility that illustrates the...

  • The light within us : Quaker women in science

    Creator:
    McCabe, Leslie N.
    Abstract:
    This thesis explores the role of Quaker women in science in an attempt to arrive at some understanding of what motivated Quaker women in nineteenth century America to go into the sciences. George Fox founded the Society of Friends in the mid-seventeenth century in England and the Quaker theology centered...

  • Science, service, and specialized agriculture : the re-invention of the maraschino cherry

    Creator:
    Jolly, J. Christopher
    Abstract:
    From 1925 to 1930, Ernest H. Wiegand, a professor of Horticultural Products at Oregon State Agricultural College, developed an improved brining process for cherries. Brined cherries are used in the production of maraschino and glacé cherries, which already had a sizable market in the United States by the 1920s. This...
