Characterizing Linkages Between the Climate, Cryosphere, and Impacts on Run-of-River Hydropower in Data-Sparse Mountain Environments

Creator:: Mosier, Thomas M.
Abstract:: In many regions of the world, a significant portion of the surface water originates in mountain headwaters where the timing and magnitude of streamflow is largely dictated by the seasonal storage of precipitation as snowpack and long-term storage as glaciers. Accumulation, persistence, and melt of snow and ice are functions...

Design for Clean Technology Adoption: Application of Discrete Choice Analysis and the Theory of Planned Behavior for Development Engineering

Creator:: Pakravan, Mohammad H.
Abstract:: Clean technologies can address multiple challenges associated with climate change, environmental protection, and human health. However, the impact desired by introduction of such technologies is achievable only if new options effectively replace inefficient, conventional practices. This ‘design for adoption’ requires understanding of user motivations, associated beliefs, context of use, and...

Understanding Public Perceptions of Post-Wildfire Landscape Recovery

Creator:: Kooistra, Chad M.
Abstract:: Forest disturbances, such as wildfires, pine beetle outbreaks, and floods are important features of many landscapes and ecosystems. Many disturbances are increasing in size, frequency, and intensity due to changing climates and land management decisions. The changing ecological and aesthetic conditions following a disturbance can lead to negative short- and...

Trajectories of social support in later life : a longitudinal comparison of socioemotional selectivity theory with dynamic integration theory

Creator:: Toyokawa, Noriko
Abstract:: In this study, we contrasted socioemotional selectivity theory (SST; Carstensen, 2006) with dynamic integration theory (DIT; Labouvie-Vief, 2003) using trajectories of quantitative and qualitative social support in later life. SST is a lifespan theory of motivational development (Carstensen, Isaacowitz, & Charles, 1999). There is a normative decline in social support...

Nesting and foraging ecology of band-tailed pigeons in western Oregon

Creator:: Leonard, Jerome Patrick
Abstract:: Pacific Coast band-tailed pigeons (Columba fasciata) have declined markedly during the past several decades. Despite implementation of increasingly restrictive hunting regulations, populations have shown minimal signs of recovery. I radio-marked 127 adult band-tailed pigeons in the central Oregon Coast Range in April-May of 1993-95 to document nesting chronology and productivity,...

The use of burned forest by breeding birds following the Biscuit Fire in southwest Oregon

Creator:: Donaghy Cannon, Michelle M.
Abstract:: Fire severity is hypothesized as an important driver of bird responses to wildfire. For those species that typically respond negatively to increasing severity, Accessibility of high-severity burned forest may be dependent on the proximity of unburned or low-severity burned forest to meet all of the needs of breeding bird species...

Forest biomass estimation with hemispherical photography for multiple forest types and various atmospheric conditions

Creator:: Clark, Joshua Andrew
Abstract:: The importance of accurately identifying inventories of domestic energy, including forest biomass, has increasingly become a priority of the US government and its citizens as the cost of fossil fuels has risen. It is useful to identify which of these resources can be processed and transported at the lowest cost...
