Establishing suitability of an ocean model for a poleward undercurrent study

Creator:: Duran, Rodrigo
Abstract:: Modifications of an ocean model are described, as the objective for which the model was used changed to study the kinematics and dynamics of an eastern-boundary poleward undercurrent.

Linear theory of roll instabilities in the ocean surface layer

Creator:: Duncombe, Jenessa R.
Abstract:: This thesis describes the results of a linear stability analysis conducted on a simulated wind-forced ocean front. The ocean surface boundary layer regulates exchanges between the ocean and atmosphere, and the presence of turbulence in the surface layer can greatly impact climate and ocean life. Past research has shown that...

Field validation of a nearshore circulation model for alongshore-nonuniform flows

Creator:: Wilson, Gregory W.
Abstract:: We investigate, theoretically and experimentally, the problem of modeling depth-integrated (2DH) surf zone circulation on an alongshore-nonuniform natural beach, with waves approaching from an arbitrary angle. An approximate theoretical model is developed, which captures the important effect of advection in the alongshore dynamics, and shows that a nondimensional parameter Re[subscript]s...

A modeling study of katabatic flows

Creator:: Smith, Craig M.
Abstract:: A modeling study is undertaken to better understand the physics of katabatic flows. This study is divided into three topics; a comparison between a large eddy simulation (LES) and a mesoscale model of katabatic flows, a sensitivity study of katabatic flows to various physical parameters, and an investigation into the...

Retirement-age migration to and from Oregon : who is still on the Oregon Trail?

Creator:: Gagnier, Cliff R.
Abstract:: Oregon, much like the nation, has historically had a paradoxical relationship to migration. Oregon is famous for the Lewis and Clark expedition and the Oregon Trail. It is, and always has been, greatly affected and inspired by interstate migration yet each successive generation has been less than welcoming to further...

Understanding Wildfire Mitigation Behavior of Central Oregon Homeowners

Creator:: Roper, Dan
Abstract:: A history of fire suppression, growth in the wildland-urban interface, and changing climate conditions, have created a fire regime in central Oregon that is growing in severity and intensity, putting more people and structures at risk and requiring a greater percentage of state and federal agency budgets to manage fires....

Evaluation of factors contributing to the failure of cast iron water mains

Creator:: Takahashi, Gilbert Tamaji
Abstract:: An evaluation was made of factors contributing to the service failure of a 12 inch diameter cast iron water pipe in Pendleton, Oregon. The quality of the pipe was found to be acceptable when compared to the acceptance limits established by the American National Standards Institute, Inc. However it exhibited...

Fare-less Public Transit, Impact on Ridership: Policy Review of Corvallis, Oregon’s Recently Implemented Fare-less Transit System

Creator:: Donin, Daniel
Abstract:: Due to the current cultural paradigm that incorporates the desire to be environmentally friendly and mitigate rising fuel costs, arguments about the cost of public transit systems, ridership rates, and methods to increase use are frequent topics of public policy concern. In response to these cultural and economic concerns, the...

A Health Impact Assessment of Accessory Dwelling Unit Policies in Rural Benton County, Oregon

Creator:: Fellows, Holly
Abstract:: This study uses the Health Impact Assessment approach to determine the health impacts of allowing accessory dwelling units in Benton County, Oregon. A literature review presents the health benefits of accessory dwelling units in urban areas and identifies the potential negative health effects in rural areas. Five accessory dwelling units...
