Model assessment of the effects of land use change on hydrologic response

Creator:: Vache, Kellie B.
Abstract:: The effect of landuse change on the hydrologic, biogeochemical and ecological response of watersheds is a concern throughout the world. To help characterize the potential magnitude of such changes, and of the potential to remediate or avoid undesirable features, studies focused on the cumulative watershed effects of site level change...

New Techniques to Monitor and Characterize Landslide Behavior and Controls Using Digital Terrain Models

Creator:: Senogles, Andrew
Abstract:: Coastal landslides and erosion are major natural hazards resulting in unstable slopes, constituting immense challenges to modern infrastructure. Developing, maintaining, and performing risk assessments of infrastructure on, or close to, these hazards require a detailed understanding of the geophysical processes destabilizing the slope. These efforts start with the collection of...

Hydrologic and Land Cover Effects on Sources and Fate of In-Stream Fluorescent Dissolved Organic Matter

Creator:: Lee, Baek Soo P.
Abstract:: Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is a critical component of the carbon cycle linking terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Although many factors influence DOM fluxes and quality in rivers, controls on DOM compositions in catchments of the western U.S. are poorly understood. UV and fluorescent spectroscopy is a simpler, faster, and less...

Regional Scale Modeling of Climate, Cryosphere, and Freshwater Discharge in Changing Coastal Mountain Environments

Creator:: Beamer, Jordan P.
Abstract:: The glaciated coastal mountain watersheds that drain into the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) provide a model laboratory to explore the challenges of hydrological modeling and study the impact of climate and glacier cover change on regional hydrology. The region is data-sparse and contains a complex assemblage of topography and land...

Canopy Effects on the Snow Hydrology of a Forested Mountain Environment in the Pacific Northwest, USA

Creator:: Roth, Travis R.
Abstract:: Rising global temperatures are having lasting effects on mountain snow environments in the form of diminishing snowpacks, shorter accumulation seasons, and shifts in meltwater timing. Seasonal snowpack is a vital source of water for natural and human systems. In the forested mountain landscapes of the Pacific Northwest seasonal snowmelt feeds...

A macroscale measurement and modeling approach to improve understanding of the hydrology of steep, forested hillslopes

Creator:: Graham, Christopher Brian
Abstract:: The dominant controls on flow generation in steep, forested hillslopes are poorly understood. This dissertation examined the dominant flow processes operating at the hillslope scale, using a combined macroscale measurement and model development and analysis framework. Irrigation experiments at two steep forested hillslopes were conducted to isolate individual hillslope flow...

Environmental Impacts of Renewable Energy (solar and wind) on Water, Food and Energy Nexus

Creator:: Hassanpour Adeh, Elnaz
Abstract:: Rapid increasing of renewable energies and the knowledge about their environmental effects are very limited. As a result, the renewable energies (e.g. solar or wind energies) will play a vital role in the future because it is well accepted by environmental friendly industries. This dissertation presents the modeling, data analysis...

Using Recession Analysis to Characterize Watershed Responses to Drought

Creator:: Jachens, Elizabeth R.
Abstract:: In the face of climate change droughts are predicted to become more persistent, further intensifying the need for accurately predicting the timing and magnitude of summer streamflow in rivers. In order to determine the sensitivity of a watershed to drought, there is a need to describe what these drought conditions...

Development and evaluation of multiple criteria decision-making approaches to watershed management

Creator:: Lamy, France
Abstract:: Decision-making in environmental management is complex due to the multiplicity arid diversity of management objectives and technological choices. This suggests that modelers and experts could utilize (I) multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approaches to assist stakeholder groups in integrating and synthesizing relevant data and information to address ecological and socio-economic concerns and...

Climate change impacts on mountain snowpack presented in a knowledge to action framework

Creator:: Sproles, Eric A.
Abstract:: Throughout many of the world’s mountain ranges snowpack accumulates during the winter and into the spring, providing a natural reservoir for water. As this reservoir melts, it fills streams and recharges groundwater for over 1 billion people globally. Despite its importance to water resources, our understanding of the storage capacity...
