Community College Interdisciplinary Learning Goes to University

Creator:: Hattendorf, Bruce J.
Abstract:: This phenomenological study explores the effects that an interdisciplinary program of study at a community college has on students once they transfer to a four-year institution. Interdisciplinary approaches have been proposed as a way of meeting the complex thinking skills needed for 21st Century learning. Because interdisciplinary learning is complex,...

So Long and Thanks for All the Sponge: Cryptic Intertidal Communities, Consequences of Ocean Acidification, and New Directions for Science Education

Creator:: Rickborn, Alissa J.
Abstract:: The current generation of scientists will be asked to mitigate climate change, stall biodiversity loss, and protect ecological communities. These are tasks that require a knowledge of both ecological and social systems to be undertaken successfully. Therefore, my dissertation spans the fields of community ecology and social sciences in an...

Realized and potential climate responses of lichen and bryophyte communities in a national forest inventory

Creator:: Smith, Robert J.
Abstract:: Climate and terrestrial vegetation have had mutual feedbacks for nearly five hundred million years, yet both are now departing from recent historical norms, with uncertain implications for forest ecosystems. This dissertation outlines the current and potential future climate responses of lichen and bryophyte communities in the United States as part...

Yosemite region nitrogen deposition and patterns in the composition of lichen communities

Creator:: Hutten, Martin
Abstract:: This dissertation describes patterns in epiphytic macrolichen community composition along a nitrogen deposition gradient in the Yosemite region of the Sierra Nevada in California. This region is part of the largest federal air quality Class 1 designated air-shed in the western United States, covering the entire crest of the Sierra...

Scale and Pattern: Delineating the Effects of Local to Regional Processes and Species Identity in Producing Multi-scale Responses of Macroalgae

Creator:: Spiecker, Barbara J.
Abstract:: Understanding and predicting how regional to global scale processes affect macroalgal populations and communities requires elucidating the mechanisms underlying observed patterns. This dissertation identifies some of the underlying mechanisms that produce complex multi-scale responses of macroalgae across space and time by delineating the role of key local environmental drivers and...

Improving Projections of Tidal Marsh Persistence under Climate Change with Remote Sensing and Site-Specific Data

Creator:: Buffington, Kevin J.
Abstract:: Tidal marshes are dynamic ecosystems that are threatened by climate change and sea-level rise. To characterize baseline condition and historic climate sensitivities, and improve projections into the future, new methods are required that integrate data from the field and remote sensing platforms. Marsh elevation response models can be calibrated with...

Anonymous screening process for selecting the most qualified finalists in administrative employment searches

Creator:: Groll, Bruce Jeffrey
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to design an objective-based Anonymous Screening Process (ASP) for selecting the most qualified finalists for non-tenured administrative employment searches in public higher education. The intent was to design a viable employment process that substantially meets equal opportunity mandates, the dual aim of the Federal...

Community organization and succession in rocky intertidal surfgrass beds

Creator:: Turner, Teresa
Abstract:: Succession and organization of rocky intertidal zone surfgrass beds (Phyllospadix scouleri Hook) were examined experimentally at two sites on the Oregon coast. The interaction of three attributes of the plant -- high persistence, high preemption, and slow recovery -- strongly influences the organization of surfgrass beds. Permanent plots indicate that...
