Remote Sensing Tools for Evaluating Climate Change Impacts in Coastal Environments

Creator:: Herrmann, Joan F.
Abstract:: Climate change has pervasive impacts on Earth’s diverse ecosystems. Observed and projected effects that impact coastal environments pose unique challenges. Coastal regions provide numerous ecosystem services (e.g., fisheries, nursery habitats, erosion control, and water filtering and detoxification), house 40% of the US population, and contribute to 58% of the national...

Effects of Supportive Parent-Adolescent Relationships on Delinquent Behaviors among Children Who Have Experienced Parental Incarceration

Creator:: Banks, Kimberley A.
Abstract:: Research indicates that adolescents with a history of parental incarceration are at higher risk of delinquent behaviors (Murray & Farrington, 2005), however the protective role of parent-adolescent relationships is largely unexamined when compared with negative dimensions of parenting. To examine the potential protective effects of the adolescent’s perceptions of a...

Development of a Hybrid Simulation for an Ocean Wave Energy Converter

Creator:: Harris, Jesse
Abstract:: Ocean Wave Energy Converters (WECs) are of interest around the globe as global economies begin to shift their interest to renewable forms of energy. However, the devices are costly to construct–a quality that can be relieved through proper modeling, control, and implementation. This paper presents the numerical and hybrid simulation...

Limitations to Seedling Regeneration on Tropical Forest Restoration Plantations in Northern Thailand

Creator:: Sangsupan, Hathai A.
Abstract:: This dissertation investigated potential ecological limitations to seedling regeneration in young, seasonally dry, evergreen forest restoration plantations in northern Thailand. We explored whether recruitment of colonizing tree species in the restoration plantations can be attributed to seed dispersal mode (i.e. abiotic or animal dispersal) and seed size. We did this...

The use of GIS in the analysis and prediction of available salmon habitat in an Oregon coastal stream

Creator:: Newton, Ann M.
Abstract:: Because of declines in salmon populations in recent years, the health of salmon habitat, in particular, is the focus of many resource agencies. The objective of this study is to use GIS to predict the location of suitable habitat. With data from an extensive set of stream surveys, GIS was...

Landscape-scale evaluation of genetic structure among barrier-isolated populations of coastal cutthroat trout, Oncorhynchus clarki clarki

Creator:: Guy, Troy J.
Abstract:: Although the effects of extrinsic barriers to dispersal have increasingly been shown to play a large role in the structuring of contemporary genetic diversity, describing the relationship between landscape structure, stochastic disturbance, and genetic diversity remains a major challenge. Here, environmental features for 27 barrier-isolated populations (2,232 individuals) of coastal...

Floodplain emergent wetlands as rearing habitat for fishes and the implications for wetland enhancement

Creator:: Henning, Julie A.
Abstract:: Seasonal emergent wetlands in the Pacific Northwest have not been regarded traditionally as fish rearing habitat, despite access to such habitat when river flows overtop riverbanks and connect to the floodplain. As a result, restoration and enhancement projects to remediate for the loss of such wetland habitat are being implemented...

Factors influencing within-watershed genetic variation of coastal cutthroat trout in Camp Creek, Oregon

Creator:: Wofford, John E.B.
Abstract:: Because human land use activities often result in increased fragmentation of headwater stream habitats, a better understanding of the effects of fragmentation on the genetic heterogeneity of stream salmonids is useful for effective management. We used eight microsatellites to examine the genetic structure of potamodromous coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki...

Biomarkers of oxidative stress and DNA damage in agricultural workers

Creator:: Muniz, Juan Fermin
Abstract:: Pesticides are among the most pervasive environmental contaminants and they are an important potential risk for human health. Agricultural workers are constantly exposed to pesticide spray, drift and residues in the soil and foliage. Many agricultural pesticides are readily absorbed by the body, through contact with the skin, the respiratory...
