Redd site selection and spawning habitat use by fall chinook salmon

Creator:: Geist, David R.
Abstract:: The spawning habitat associated with fall chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) redd clusters was investigated in the Hanford Reach of the Columbia River. A conceptual spawning habitat model is proposed that describes how geomorphic features of river channels create hydraulic processes, including hyporheic flows, that influence where salmon spawn in unconstrained...

The accuracy, applicability and transferability of contingent valuation measures for nonmarket goods

Creator:: Berrens, Robert Patrick, 1962-
Abstract:: Despite several decades of research developments, the survey-based contingent valuation (CV) method remains one of the most controversial topics in environmental economics. As the procedure matures and more applied studies are completed, there is increasing pressure to make the results policy relevant. This research is composed of three distinct yet...

The late holocene atmospheric methane budget reconstructed from ice cores

Creator:: Mitchell, Logan E.
Abstract:: Ice cores are considered the gold standard for recording past climate and biogeochemical changes. However, gas records derived from ice core analysis have until now been largely limited to centennial and longer timescales because sufficient temporal resolution and analytical precision have been lacking, except during rare times when atmospheric concentrations...
