Assisted Migration in the Colorado Subalpine Forest

Creator:: Najim, Tara
Abstract:: This capstone study reports on global warming-induced changes to the Colorado subalpine zone climate and disturbance regimes. It assesses the impacts of these changes upon the dominant subalpine tree species and summarizes future species distribution modeling for these and other nearby species potentially suitable for the future subalpine zone in...

Temporal and Spatial Dynamics of Avian Utilization and Community Composition in Willamette Valley Wetland Study Sites: A Comparative Analysis of Winter Seasons in 1995 and 2019

Creator:: Zimmerman, Marisa
Abstract:: Resident and migratory avifauna in the Willamette Valley, Oregon are heavily influenced by winter conditions and habitat characteristics, especially those of wetlands. As such, it is important to monitor avian communities and environmental factors at wetland sites within the Willamette Valley during winter. Using data from standardized avian point-count surveys,...

Spatial and Temporal Assessment of Vertically Migrating Myctophids as Biotransporters of Microplastics to Mesopelagic Food Webs

Creator:: Boisen, Olivia C.
Abstract:: It is well documented that microplastics and semi-synthetic particles (<5 mm) pervade the marine environment, with their ingestion by marine fauna eliciting global concern. While fishes exposed to microparticles in a laboratory setting have exhibited both sub-lethal and lethal effects, the diversity in material, morphology, and size of these contaminants...

Searching for Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene-age Deposits in the Paleo-Tahkenitch Stream Basin: A Geoarchaeological Investigation in Douglas County, Oregon

Creator:: Newell, Zachary A.
Abstract:: Coastal stream basins are of great importance to efforts aimed at refining our understanding of the earliest populations that inhabited the ancient Oregon coast. However, geomorphic responses to post-glacial sea level rise in these settings has produced depositional environments that destroy or deeply bury late Pleistocene and early Holocene-age archaeological...

Monitoring Streamflow Response to Effects of Climate Change in the Kenai Peninsula and Prince William Sound Region of Southcentral Alaska

Creator:: Anderson, Dean J.
Abstract:: This thesis explores the challenges of monitoring stream hydrology in a warmer and wetter climate in the Kenai Peninsula (KP) and Prince William Sound (PWS) region of Southcentral Alaska, located on the traditional territories of the Dena’ina, Ahtna, Alutiiq/Sugpiaq, and Eyak People. The physical and climatological extremes of this region...

The hazards-housing nexus : adaptive capacity wheel analysis of coastal planning institutions

Creator:: Patterson, Trisha
Abstract:: The Oregon coast faces complex environmental and social challenges, such as the threat of a regionally disastrous Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) earthquake and tsunami. Researchers are united in their assertion that the CSZ is new, the region is due for a quake, and to mitigate this hazard society must collaborate...

Fall Phenology, Movement, and Roost use of Little Brown Bats (Myotis lucifugus) and California Myotis (Myotis californicus) at Mount Rainier National Park

Creator:: Hansen, Michael
Abstract:: Little is known about the fall and winter ecology of hibernating bats in western North America. Filling knowledge gaps for these populations has become more urgent with the westward spread of the white-nose syndrome, a disease that infects bats during hibernation. Due to the thermal requirements of the fungal pathogen...

Quantifying dune ecomorphodynamics using UAV-based structure from motion photogrammetry

Creator:: Edgell, Rebecca
Abstract:: Oregon’s foredunes are part of a dynamic coastal environment that constantly evolves in response to both ecological and physical forces. Invasive beachgrasses have outcompeted native dune grass in the region and have influenced the shape of Oregon’s foredunes via species-specific biophysical feedback mechanisms. As climate change induced sea-level rise will...

Fish out of Water: Virgin Spinedace (Lepidomeda mollispinis) in the Santa Clara River, Utah

Creator:: Siefken, Sarah N.
Abstract:: River ecosystems throughout the arid southwestern U.S. are imperiled. Water management infrastructure, climate change, unsustainable water use, and political conflict harm the region's aquatic and riparian ecosystems. This case study surveys one such desert river, an endemic fish species, and conservation efforts in southwestern Utah. The analysis focuses on the...

Projecting White Pine Blister Rust Hazard Ratings Under Climate Change in Southwestern Oregon

Creator:: Cicekli, Zeynep
Abstract:: Sugar pine and western white pine are widely distributed, economically valuable, and ecologically important native tree species in North America. However, white pine blister rust (WPBR), caused by a non-native fungal pathogen, Cronartium ribicola J.C. Fisch. in Rabh., has substantially affected populations of these species. Cronartium is an obligate parasite,...
