Coordination for Scalable Multiple Robot Planning Under Temporal Uncertainty

Creator:: Marcon dos Santos, Gilberto
Abstract:: This dissertation incorporates coalition formation and probabilistic planning towards a domain-independent automated planning solution scalable to multiple heterogeneous robots in complex domains. The first research direction investigates the effectiveness of Task Fusion and introduces heuristics that improve task allocation and result in better quality plans, while requiring lower computational cost...

Aboveground biomass and ecosystem carbon pools in tropical secondary forests growing in six life zones of Costa Rica

Creator:: Cifuentes Jara, Miguel
Abstract:: Carbon sequestration in tropical secondary forests growing in all climates must be quantified to understand their potential role in adaptation and mitigation strategies of global climate change. Total aboveground biomass (TAGB), soil carbon, and total ecosystem carbon (TEC) were measured in 54 secondary forests growing along a broad bioclimatic gradient...

A stratigraphic approach to characterize the deposition and storage of organic matter in reservoir sediments

Creator:: Stratton Garvin, Laurel E.
Abstract:: The relationship between carbon burial and sedimentation in reservoirs is unknown, exposing gaps in our fundamental understanding of the transport, processing, and deposition of sediment and organic matter in fluvial and lacustrine systems and contributing to uncertainty in our understanding of the net impact of dams to the global carbon...

Advancements in the Monitoring of Forests and Quantification of Live Aboveground Biomass Using Moderate Resolution Spaceborne Multispectral Imagery and Synthetic Aperture Radar Data

Creator:: Kilbride, John B.
Abstract:: The objective of this dissertation is to enhance the monitoring of forest ecosystems through the utilization of remotely sensed data to address the exigencies posed by the Anthropocene. On a global scale, rising temperatures and fluctuating precipitation patterns have strained forests and produced shifts in natural disturbance regimes. Additionally, the...

Towards Resolving Functional and Evolutionary Mysteries of the Large and Heterozygous Genome of Hop (Humulus lupulus) and the Cannabaceae Family Using Genomic Data Science

Creator:: Padgitt-Cobb, Lillian K.
Abstract:: Hop (Humulus lupulus L. var. lupulus) is a diploid, dioecious plant with an extensive history of cultivation and use in brewing, as a textile, and for its therapeutic properties. Hop is prized for its ability to produce a variety of aromatic and flavor compounds, as well as compounds with anti-microbial...

Rapid endangered species assessment : a novel approach to improve extinction risk assessments in poorly known species

Creator:: Bianchi, Carlos A.
Abstract:: The number of endangered species is rapidly increasing while paucity of adequate information and resources delays establishment of conservation actions. The IUCN’s listing system is insufficient to determine conservation priorities and many species lack information even to be evaluated (i.e., “data deficient”). Here I proposed and tested the Rapid Endangered...

Habitat Use and Ecological Interactions of Invasive Lionfish in the Bahamas

Creator:: Davis, Alexandra C. D.
Abstract:: Invasive species are a growing global economic and ecological problem. Invasive Indo-Pacific lionfish (Pterois spp.) are known to have extreme negative effects on coral-reef communities in the Bahamas, so understating their distribution within and among reefs, what limits their local movements, and the effects they have on native prey species...

Exploring the Limits of Ligation Rate and Specificity in Protein Immobilization Using the Genetically Encoded Tetrazine Ligation

Creator:: Bednar, Riley M.
Abstract:: Immobilized proteins are integral components of a number of important technologies, including the principal component of many biosensors, as functional coatings in various implants, as catalysts is industrial biosynthesis, and as the building blocks of next-generation nanotechnologies. Despite their ubiquity, relatively little is known about the processes that shape immobilized...

Robust Long Term Autonomy Through Local Behaviors

Creator:: Yates, Connor L.
Abstract:: Multi-robot teams offer promising solutions for many long term deployments in remote and dangerous domains, such as extraterrestrial or underseas exploration. However, long term deployments present many problems preventing robot teams from operating effectively. Learning over long time scales is makes it difficult to assign credit to robots' actions, as...

Connecting microevolutionary processes with macroevolutionary patterns across space and time

Creator:: Uyeda, Josef C.
Abstract:: Whether microevolutionary processes can explain macroevolutionary patterns has long been a matter of contentious debate. The debate has persisted largely because of the challenging task of connecting microevolutionary theory, which examines population-level phenomena on the generation scale, to data collected across larger spatial and temporal scales. My dissertation research broadly...
