Beliefs and attitudes influence willingness to pay recreation fees at an urban forest : incorporating attitudes in contingent valuation methods

Creator:: Moehrke, Caitlin
Abstract:: The current thesis presents contingent valuation research incorporating social psychological measures that investigates recreationists' willingness to pay recreation access fees at McDonald-Dunn Forest, Oregon. Context is provided through an extensive literature review of recreation fee management, issues and concerns related to recreation fees, recreationists' attitudes toward fees, relevant social psychological...

Hawaiian duck (Anas wyvilliana) behavior and response to wetland habitat management at Hanalei National Wildlife Refuge on Kaua'i

Creator:: Malachowski, Christopher P.
Abstract:: The endangered Hawaiian Duck (koloa maoli; Anas wyvilliana), a non-migratory and island-endemic species, experienced a significant population decline during the twentieth century due to factors such as habitat loss, overharvest, introduced mammalian predators, and hybridization with introduced feral Mallards (A. platyrhynchos). A key objective for Hawaiian Duck recovery is to...

Volatiles and Geochemical Fingerprinting of Plagioclase-Hosted Melt Inclusions from Mid-Ocean Ridge Lavas: Determination of Depth of Crystallization and Melt Composition in the Lower Crust

Creator:: Kotash, Alisa K.
Abstract:: The global mid-ocean ridge system is the largest magmatic system encompassing over 75% of the Earth’s total volcanism. As magmas ascend through the vertically variable oceanic crust, melts begin to crystallize and diversify and subsequently erupt at the surface. The interpretation of these erupted products observed on the seafloor requires...

Evaluating downstream channel changes in response to a small dam removal on the Calapooia River, Oregon with respect to measurement errors and prior aerial photo observed changes

Creator:: Walter, Cara
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of aerial photos as a substitute for multiple-year pre-removal field data to assess the downstream channel changes associated with a small dam removal. The Brownsville Dam, a 2.1 m tall concrete dam on the Calapooia River, Oregon, was removed in...

Extending the clinical applications of commercially available optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dosimeters

Creator:: Keller, James R.
Abstract:: We present the results of our experiments designed to extend the clinical applications of commercially available Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) Dosimeters. Our initial experiments demonstrate the linear response of the OSL dosimeters for doses under 200 cGy and the non-linear response of the device after 200 cGy. Our experiments show...

Spatial heterogeneity, meta-analysis and spatial dependence : three essays on environmental valuation and spatial land management decisions

Creator:: Bu, Meidan
Abstract:: This dissertation consists of three essays that collectively address the importance of accounting for spatial heterogeneity and spatial dependence of environmental assets and natural resources in policy making. The first essay examines the value of different wetland ecosystem services using an expanded meta-dataset of valuation studies in North America. The...

Voxel based indirect illumination using spherical harmonics

Creator:: Rauwendaal, Randall
Abstract:: Realistic (ideally photorealistic) real-time rendering has remained an elusive goal in computer graphics. While photorealistic rendering has certainly been achieved at the expense of tremendous computational resources and corresponding rendering times; real-time rendering typically must accept a great number of compromises to achieve adequate performance, such as aliasing artifacts, the...

Imagining the Future into Reality: An Interdisciplinary Exploration of The Jetsons

Creator:: Myrick, Jane E.
Abstract:: This investigation examines The Jetsons’ vision of the future and tracks to what extent the content of the show is relevant to the modern era, both technologically and socially. Much of the dazzling technology in the show feels familiar, and most of it is either already available or is in...

Applying economic benefit transfer to improve the transfer of ecological estimates in ecosystem services research & policy

Creator:: Errend, Melissa N.
Abstract:: The goal of this thesis is to advance the methodology and thought regarding the transferability of ecological estimates of ecosystem services. Conceptually and in practice, ecological estimate transfer parallels economic benefit transfer in ecosystem services research and policy, yet the literature for benefit transfer predates ecological estimate transfer by several...

The marine geomorphology of American Samoa : shapes and distributions of deep sea volcanics

Creator:: Roberts, Jed T.
Abstract:: The geologic processes at work in American Samoa have long been a point of scientific debate. Of its numerous volcanic formations, few breach sea level, leaving an enormous proportion of their mass unavailable to traditional observation. This study aims to describe the deep sea geomorphology of American Samoa through compilation,...
