Sensitivity and Partitioning in Remote Sensing Based Evapotranspiration Models

Creator:: Talsma, Carl J.
Abstract:: Satellite Based evapotranspiration (ET) models have become a dominant means to estimate large-scale surface fluxes of water. Global and regional ET estimates are important parameters in many climate forecasts and hydrologic models. However, large scale partitioning of ET into soil evaporation, transpiration, and canopy interceptions remains largely unknown and modeled...

Assessing the Thermal Sensitivity and Stormflow Response of Headwater Stream Temperatures: A Seasonal and Event-scale Exploration in Northern California, USA

Creator:: Wissler, Austin D.
Abstract:: Mountainous headwater streams make up ~80 % of stream length globally and are strongly connected with catchment hillslopes and riparian areas, which can influence water quantity, quality, and availability for downstream uses. Accordingly, effective management of headwater streams and riparian zones to maintain desired ecosystem services downstream is critical, particularly...

Addressing Emerging Issues in Tropical Ecohydrology : A Combined Hydrometric and Isotopic Approach to Evaluate the Origin and Age of Water in a High-Elevation Tropical Ecosystem

Creator:: Mosquera, Giovanny M.
Abstract:: This thesis focuses on the identification of ecohydrological processes in nested system of catchments in a tropical alpine (the wet Andean páramo) ecosystem. We accomplish this by conducting a water stable isotopic characterization of water sources, an evaluation of the mean transit time (MTT) of streams waters, and the investigation...

Novel Copper and Iron Complexes along the Oregon Coastal Upwelling Margin

Creator:: Bright, Peter, W.
Abstract:: Copper and iron are essential micronutrients that are required by marine primary producers for a variety of metabolic processes. Over 99% of both copper and iron are bound within organic complexes in the marine environment, however the molecular identity of many of these complexes remains unknown. The speciation of these...

Geomorphic and Climatic Controls on Water Temperature and Streambed Scour, Copper River Delta, Alaska : Implications for Understanding Climate Change Impacts to the Pacific Salmon Egg Incubation Environment

Creator:: Adelfio, Luca A.
Abstract:: Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) face numerous challenges associated with climate change. Most research has emphasized the potential effects of elevated summer water temperatures; however, climatic changes are also projected to significantly alter incubation and rearing habitats during the late autumn, winter, and spring months ("the incubation period"). Along the southern...

Lamprey of the Goose Lake Basin: A Multi-Scale Habitat & Distribution Analysis

Creator:: Dickey, Jacob C.
Abstract:: Two ecologically important lamprey species found in the endorheic Goose Lake Basin face conservation threats; however, relatively little is known about their habitat needs or spatial distribution. Lamprey and their habitat are often found to be patchy; to evaluate these relationships for the lamprey in this basin, I utilized a...

Temporal and Spatial Variability of Channel Adjustment to Floods in a 5th order Forested Mountain Stream

Creator:: Cromer, Leah
Abstract:: Mountain rivers are important aquatic ecosystems that regulate sediment and water delivery to higher order streams. While previous studies have debated the roles of hillslope and fluvial processes in driving change in channel morphology of mountain rivers, few have examined how these processes influence channel response over longer timescales. The...

Effects of Pesticide Exposure on Honey Bee Health : Impacts of Pesticide Interactions and Exposure Through Multiple Routes

Creator:: Parreira, Stephanie
Abstract:: Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are responsible for approximately $17 billion in crop production per year in the United States, and are arguably the most important pollinators in the nation. The future of crop pollination and production is threatened by widespread national honey bee colony losses, which have averaged approximately 30%...

Natural Variability of Nitrogen and Phosphorus in a Forested Headwater Stream System in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Steadman, Casey L.
Abstract:: Our understanding of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) variability in forested stream systems with minimal disturbance is confounded by the complex interactions of hydrologic and biogeochemical controls. In this thesis, our studies evaluate the variability of stream water N and P in a forested, headwater system in the Oregon Coast...

Applications of Magnetic Materials in Soft Robotics

Creator:: Davis, William M.
Abstract:: Magnetic materials can be used in modern soft robotics as a method for external stimulus actuation and motion control. By combining aspects of biology and mechanics, devices are fabricated to create a structure capable of complex movement. Applications that these devices are subject to can be broken down into four...
