Microbiology of basalts targeted for deep geological carbon sequestration : field observations and laboratory experiments

Creator:: Lavalleur, Heather J.
Abstract:: With rising concentrations of CO₂ in the Earth's atmosphere causing concern about climate change, many solutions are being presented to decrease emissions. One of the proposed solutions is to sequester excess CO₂ in geological formations such as basalt. The deep subsurface is known to harbor much of the microbial biomass...

A New Record of Planktic Foraminifera Community Response to Marine Heatwaves in the Northeast Pacific

Creator:: M. Kelsey Lane
Abstract:: Marine heat waves are forecasted to increase in frequency and intensity under future climate scenarios, but little is known about the impact of these events on the one of the most commonly used proxies of ocean temperature - foraminiferal assemblages. This research explores the planktic foraminifera community along the Newport...

Incubation patterns, parental roles, and nest survival of black oystercatchers (Haematopus bachmani) : influences of environmental processes and potential disturbance stimuli

Creator:: Spiegel, Caleb S.
Abstract:: Shorebirds display great variation in mating systems and breed in dynamic environments that are increasingly subject to human threats worldwide. In order to adequately assess productivity and demography of shorebird populations, it is important to understand factors that influence patterns of parental care and reproductive success. The Black Oystercatcher (Haematopus...

Impacts of Ocean Acidification and Warming on the Growth and Development of Oregon Pink Shrimp (Pandalus jordani) Larvae

Creator:: Nguyen, Michelle B.
Abstract:: Anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions are causing ocean acidification (OA) and ocean warming, which have negative effects on the larvae of many marine invertebrates. Oregon pink shrimp (Pandalus jordani) currently encounter upwelling events that can result in pH values as low as 7.6, and, more recently, marine heat waves that raise...

Decomposition of cattail and bulrush plant parts in a constructed wetland treating pulp mill effluent

Creator:: Walz, Anita
Abstract:: Dried cattail and bulrush plant pieces in mesh bags were incubated in the constructed wetland treating Pope & Talbot pulp mill effluent. Two ponds planted with each species and two depth ranges in each pond were chosen, to determine decomposition rates. Bags were withdrawn and analyzed at five time points...

Effects of soil slope on the lateral capacity of piles in cohesionless soils

Creator:: Barker, Paul D.
Abstract:: Deep foundations, including driven piles, are used to support vertical loads of structures and applied lateral forces. Many pile supported structures, including bridges, are subjected to large lateral loads in the form of wind, wave, seismic, and traffic impact loads. In many practical situations, structures subjected to lateral loading are...

Effects of Elevated CO₂ on Speckled Sanddab (Citharichthys stigmaeus) Behavior

Creator:: Andrade, Jessica F.
Abstract:: The direct and indirect effects of ocean acidification (OA) are a growing concern, particularly in areas already experiencing elevated levels of oceanic CO₂. Studies with marine fishes suggest that elevated CO₂ levels may affect behavior by interfering with an important brain neurotransmitter. Studies examining the effects of OA fish behavior...

In Vitro Evaluation of Therapeutic Laser Treatment on Equine Tendon Fibroblasts

Creator:: Husby, Kirsty A.
Abstract:: Previous investigations have failed to show benefits of low level laser therapy (LLLT) for tendon healing in horses, contrary to reports in other species. We hypothesized that delivery of LLLT at manufacturer-recommended energy fluence through equine cadaver skin to equine tendon-derived fibroblasts in vitro would increase cell proliferation, metabolic activity...

Inhibition of Pseudomonas species by hydrogen peroxide producing Lactobacilli

Creator:: Price, Robert James and Lee, J. S.
Abstract:: Eighty-one microbial species isolated from seafoods and other marine sources were examined to determine the extent of interactions among these species. Spot-plates, cross-plates, and concurrent growth experiments at 7, 15, 20, and 30 C indicated that Lactobacillus species were capable of inhibiting other microorganisms. Lactobacillus species isolated from oysters and...

Changes in gravity anomalies during erosion and isostatic rebound of collisional mountain ranges

Creator:: Enos, Robert A.
Abstract:: At collisional mountain ranges the tectonic history of crustal shortening and subsequent post-collisional erosion is preserved in the form of the presently observed gravity anomalies. In this study, models of erosion and isostatic rebound at various stages of collision illustrate the evolution of crustal structure, topography, and resulting gravity anomalies....
