Movement Ecology and Population Dynamics of the Endangered Hawaiian Duck (Anas wyvilliana)

Creator:: Malachowski, Christopher P.
Abstract:: Fundamental objectives in the field of conservation biology involve understanding the processes that influence small and declining populations and applying that knowledge to develop appropriate monitoring strategies and targeted management and conservation actions. Critical first steps in determining the relative role of factors that drive population declines involves estimation of...

An Experimental and Analytical Investigation of the Parameters that Influence Measured CO₂ in Plagioclase-Hosted Melt Inclusions in MORBs

Creator:: Drignon, Melissa J.
Abstract:: To understand the processes that lead to the formation of the oceanic crust, one must know the composition and the depth at which primary melts originate. Towards this end, this dissertation focuses on plagioclase-hosted melt inclusions from plagioclase ultraphyric basalts (PUBs). Plagioclase is usually considered to be the second phase,...

Rhyolitic magmatism of the High Lava Plains and adjacent Northwest Basin and Range, Oregon : implications for the evolution of continental crust

Creator:: Ford, Mark T.
Abstract:: Understanding continental crust formation and modification is a fundamental and longstanding geologic problem. Influx of mantle-derived basaltic magma and partial melting of the crust are two ways to drive crustal differentiation. This process results in a low density upper crust and denser, more refractory lower crust, creating significant and vastly...

A Regional-Scale Three-Dimensional Susceptibility Model for Enhanced Evaluation of Rainfall- and Seismically-Induced Landsliding

Creator:: Mathews, Nicolas
Abstract:: Shallow landslides are destructive natural hazards that result in widespread losses, both of infrastructure and lives, throughout the world. To help mitigate the impact of landslide hazards, they are commonly characterized across a regional scale by (1) their location and likelihood using susceptibility maps, (2) their magnitude and frequency using...

Investigations of two chemical systems relevant to pyroprocessing used nuclear fuel

Creator:: Hames, Amber
Abstract:: Pyroprocessing is an advanced technology for recycling used nuclear fuel. Pyrochemical processes encompass a wide range of chemical, physical, and electrochemical methods to partition fission products and other components from used nuclear fuel, which allows for the reuse of the actinides in nuclear fuel. This dissertation investigates two chemical systems...

Investigation of the structural influence on the properties of functional inorganic oxides

Creator:: Laurita-Plankis, Geneva
Abstract:: While properties are extremely important from an application point of view, it is crucial to have a detailed understanding of the underlying structural influence. Once a concrete correlation between the structure and the observed property is established, rational design of novel materials with optimized properties can be realized. These optimized...

International river basin management in the face of change : Syr Darya Basin case study

Creator:: Pak, Mariya
Abstract:: The conflict over water resources exploitation and sharing in the Aral Sea Basin is one of the most pressing environmental issues yet to be resolved in Central Asia. The fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 and establishment of the New Independent States (NIS) within the Aral Sea Bain led...

Subseasonal variability in a two-level atmospheric general circulation model

Creator:: Kushnir, Yochanan
Abstract:: The dynamical processes which maintain atmospheric disturbances in regions of strong wintertime variability of the northern hemisphere are examined using data from a GCM simulation. Time series of the dependent variables and diabatic heating components from 10 Northern Hemisphere winters simulated by the Oregon State University two-level GCM are used....

Using interactive technology to improve health : is weight loss just a mouse-click away?

Creator:: Grall, Sarah K.
Abstract:: Since 1980, the prevalence of obesity among U.S. adults has more than doubled, accompanied by increases in chronic conditions like heart disease and diabetes. This high prevalence and associated disease burden continues to be a threat to public health. Despite years of efforts to stem the tide of obesity, successful...
