Modeling and dating glacier fluctuations and their relation to Pacific Ocean climate

Creator:: Anslow, Faron S.
Abstract:: This thesis presents the results of an investigation into the interactions between the present-day South Cascade Glacier and the former Mauna Kea ice cap at short (annual to centennial) and long (millennial and multimillennial) time scales. To quantify the response of South Cascade Glacier to atmospheric conditions, a surface energy...

Factors associated with the implementation fidelity of a school-based social and character development program : findings from the Positive Action program, Hawai’i

Creator:: Beets, Michael W.
Abstract:: Implementation fidelity (dosage, adherence, quality of delivery, responsiveness, program differentiation) is the degree to which a program was carried out to its original intent. The following three studies examined the implementation fidelity of a school-based health promotion social and character development (SACD) program. The, Positive Action (PA) program was a...

The Kilauea Volcano adult health study, Hawai'i, USA

Creator:: Longo, Bernadette Mae
Abstract:: After 22 years of eruption at Kilauea Volcano, Hawai'i, an environmental, epidemiological, and ethnographic study was conducted to assess for adverse health effects from chronic exposure to volcanogernc air pollution. Environmental data from 2003 indicated that Kau District, from 37 to 74 km downwind from the eruption, was being exposed...

Turbulence and biophysical fluxes in the near surface ocean

Creator:: Hoecker-Martínez, Martín
Abstract:: Vertical transports of plankton, momentum, heat, and turbulence are modeled. A novel integration of high resolution turbulence and biophysical modeling is used to show the influence of a Kelvin-Helmholtz instability on the vertical migration of simple gyrotactic organisms. A viscous limit on mixing driven by shear turbulence is proposed. Large...

The Role of Submesoscale Features in Transporting Heat and Salt Across Ocean Fronts

Creator:: Sanchez-Rios, Alejandra
Abstract:: The focus of this dissertation is the analysis of submesoscale and finescale features measured at oceanic fronts and the role they play in the transport of heat and salt. Two different geographical areas were used to analyze this transport: one, an area on the western side of the North Atlantic...

Larval settlement and juvenile group dynamics in the domino damselfish (Dascyllus albisella)

Creator:: Booth, David J. (David John), 1958-
Abstract:: Patterns of settlement of larvae and population dynamics of juveniles are poorly known for coral reef fishes. During 1987 to 1989, I studied these phenomena in the domino damselfish (Dascyllus albisella), a species endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. Larvae settle onto branching coral heads as new recruits (10-15 mm in...

Transport and Mixing of Buoyant Water from Small Mountainous Rivers : An Investigation of Estuarine Residence Timescales and Coastal Current Propagation

Creator:: Lemagie, Emily P.
Abstract:: Small rivers, such as those that line the Oregon coast, have been shown to deliver significant concentrations of suspended sediments and nutrients to estuaries and the coastal ocean during wet seasons during which winds are predominantly downwelling-favorable. The fate of the buoyant source water and of any suspended or dissolved...
