  • Diving into Diversity: Fish Populations and Climate Resilience in an Endorheic Basin

    Creator:
    Dew, Aleah
    Abstract:
    The Goose Lake Basin, situated on the border of Oregon and California, USA, faces significant challenges from drought, wildfire, and other environmental stressors. This region hosts numerous endemic fish species such as the Goose Lake redband trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss newberri), Goose Lake lamprey (Entosphenus sp.), Goose Lake tui chub (Siphateles...

  • Vegetation composition and response to fire of native Willamette Valley wetland prairies

    Creator:
    Pendergrass, Kathy L. (Connelly)
    Abstract:
    Fires set by Native Americans were important in shaping and maintaining Willamette Valley prairie plant communities. With fire exclusion after Euro-American settlement in the 1840's, composition of the remaining prairies shifted toward shrub and tree dominance with a concomitant decline in endemic prairie plant populations. I hypothesize that by restoring...

  • Performance-Based Design Methodology for Using Emergent Vegetation to Mitigate Wave Overtopping

    Ostrow, Kayla
    Abstract:
    To facilitate the design of Natural and Nature-Based Features (NNBF) for flood protection, this thesis expands an existing engineering design methodology to NNBF systems. The existing approach is a Level III reliability method for the performance-based design of traditional coastal engineering systems. The expanded methodology incorporates uncertainties inherent to both...
