Geomorphic Evidence for Differential Rock Uplift Across the Southern Cascadia Forearc

Creator:: von Dassow, Wesley
Abstract:: The nature of upper plate deformation along the Cascadia subduction zone (CSZ) is poorly understood. Systematic covariation among topographic relief, geodetically determined uplift rates, decadal to millennial erosion rates, and the frequency of episodic tremor and slip (ETS) along the Cascadia forearc suggest a genetic association between forearc topography and...

Late Holocene Earthquake History Recorded in Alluvial Fan Sequences, Panamint Valley, Eastern California

Creator:: Sethanant, Israporn
Abstract:: The Panamint Valley fault zone (PVFZ) is an active, dextral-oblique normal fault that partially accommodates dextral shear across the Eastern California Shear Zone (ECSZ). The fault system has a complex geometry, characterized by a relatively high-angle dextral oblique normal fault in the south and a low-angle detachment system that accommodates...

Late Pleistocene Slip Rate along the Panamint Valley Fault System, Eastern California

Creator:: Choi, Na Hyung
Abstract:: The Eastern California Shear Zone (ECSZ) is a broad zone of dextral shear inboard of the North American - Pacific plate boundary. Despite decades of study, the significance of a mismatch between geodetic velocities and geologic fault slip rates across the ECSZ remains incompletely understood. Geodetically determined interseismic strain across...

Crustal heat flow and thermal modeling of the Hikurangi Trough, New Zealand

Creator:: Antriasian, Anson M.
Abstract:: Measuring surface heat flow at the Hikurangi Trough is key toward characterizing the local thermal regime and the influence of thermally sensitive processes such as fluid flow and slow slip. Marine heat flow data were collected during May– June 2015 in the northern Hikurangi Trough at sites seaward and landward...

Investigating the Tibetan crust through automatic S wave detection and travel-time tomography using the Hi-CLIMB seismic array

Creator:: Riddle, Evan
Abstract:: The Hi-CLIMB broadband seismic experiment (2002-2005) operated 233 stations along an 800 km long north-south line from the Himalayan foreland into the central Tibetan Plateau and in a 350x350 km sub-array within southern Tibet and central and eastern Nepal. Station spacing was approximately 8 km along the line and 50...

Local Seismicity Recorded by ChilePEPPER : Implications for Dynamic Accretionary Prism Response and Long-term Prism Evolution

Creator:: de Moor, Alexander
Abstract:: To investigate the dynamic response of the outer accretionary wedge updip from the patch of greatest slip during the Mw8.8 2010 Maule earthquake, 10 Ocean Bottom Seismometers (OBS) were deployed from May 2012 to March 2013 in a small array with an inter-instrument spacing of ~10 km. Nine instruments were...

Life cycle assessment of algal biofuels

Creator:: Kirby, Bryan L.
Abstract:: This thesis consists of three studies to better understand the environmental sustainability potential for algal-based biofuels. Initially, a comparison of recent life cycle assessments (LCA) of theoretical full-scale algal biofuel facilities was developed. These studies include varying boundaries and scope, functional units, and technology maturity assumptions. The comparison converted results...

Creating a Predictive Model of Cinder Cone Evolution in Central Oregon

Creator:: Das-Toke, Shyam P.
Abstract:: Cinder cones are useful geomorphic features for geological analysis because they generally have known initial states and follow a similar pattern of degradation as they are exposed to erosive processes. This is largely because cinder cones are produced by monogenetic eruptions. Characterizing large cinder cone fields in terms of age...

Kinematics of the Columbia Hills Anticline and the Warwick Strike-Slip Fault, Yakima Fold and Thrust Belt, Washington, USA

Creator:: Woodring, Danielle N.
Abstract:: Discrete fault systems accommodate both N-S contraction and dextral shear in concert with clockwise rotational deformation of the North American plate above the Cascadia Subduction Zone. In Washington, the Yakima Fold and Thrust Belt (YFTB) accommodates N-S contraction as a series of ENE-WSW trending thrust faults and folds. NW-striking, predominantly...

Organizational cultural compatibility of engineered wood products manufacturers and building specifiers in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Fernando, Balapity Modarage Shanuka R.
Abstract:: Organizations are significantly influenced by corporate cultures of the interacting organizations. Both the construction industry and engineered wood products (EWP) manufacturing industry are generally known for operating in a traditional environment maintaining conservative corporate cultures, which can create friction when they try to interact with a more liberal architectural industry...
