Monitoring Streamflow Response to Effects of Climate Change in the Kenai Peninsula and Prince William Sound Region of Southcentral Alaska

Creator:: Anderson, Dean J.
Abstract:: This thesis explores the challenges of monitoring stream hydrology in a warmer and wetter climate in the Kenai Peninsula (KP) and Prince William Sound (PWS) region of Southcentral Alaska, located on the traditional territories of the Dena’ina, Ahtna, Alutiiq/Sugpiaq, and Eyak People. The physical and climatological extremes of this region...

Development of a hydrologic model to explore impacts of climate change on water resources in the Big Wood Basin, Idaho

Creator:: Inouye, Allison Marshall
Abstract:: In the Western United States where 50-70% of annual precipitation comes in the form of winter snowfall, water supplies may be particularly sensitive to a warming climate. We worked with a network of stakeholders in the Big Wood Basin, Idaho, to explore how climate change may affect water resources and...

Taming the Tumalo : A Damned Dam Repurposed for Recharge

Creator:: Harpham, Kelsey
Abstract:: The Tumalo Project at Tumalo Reservoir in Central Oregon was proclaimed a failure almost as soon as it was completed. As the reservoir filled with water diverted from Tumalo creek in the spring of 1915, sinkholes developed in the reservoir floor and every last drop of captured water disappeared into...

A study of stream temperature using distributed temperature sensing fiber optics technology in Big Boulder Creek, a tributary to the Middle Fork John Day River in eastern Oregon

Creator:: Arik, Aida D.
Abstract:: The Middle Fork John Day Basin in Northeastern Oregon is prime habitat for spring Chinook salmon and Steelhead trout. In 2008, a major tributary supporting rearing habitat, Big Boulder Creek, was restored to its historic mid-valley channel along a 1 km stretch of stream 800 m upstream of the mouth....

An Experimental Study on Violent Geysers in Vertical Shafts

Creator:: Elayeb, Ibrahem S.
Abstract:: A Geyser in a stormwater (SW) and combined sewer system (CSS) is an oscillatory and violent release of a mixture of air and water through vertical shafts. Violent geysers are highly destructive. In the case of combined sewer systems, many municipalities operate their systems at a fraction of their maximum...

OME : A Framework for Running Spatially Explicit System Dynamics Models

Creator:: Wingo, Patrick C.
Abstract:: The Open Modeling Environment (OME) is a tool developed to address some known shortcomings in ecological System Dynamics (SD) modeling research. OME provides a common set of methods for interacting directly with spatial information, reducing the need for modelers to create their own methods for doing so. The environment is...

The field edge flux paradox

Creator:: Barr, Colleen M.
Abstract:: Precision irrigation has made spatially explicit water management a reality. However, detailed knowledge about the spatially variable evapotranspiration is often unavailable. One example location where we can begin to understand the impact of spatial variability on evapotranspiration is at the field edge, which contains a sharp discontinuity in surface conditions....

Laboratory observations and numerical modeling of the effects of an array of wave energy converters

Creator:: Porter, Aaron K.
Abstract:: This thesis investigates the effects of wave energy converters (WECs) on water waves through the analysis of extensive laboratory experiments, as well as subsequent numerical simulations. Data for the analysis was collected during the WEC-Array Experiments performed at the O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory at Oregon State University, under co-operation...

Basin-wide distributed modeling of hydrologic responses to irrigation management in the Wood River Basin, Klamath County, OR

Creator:: Owens, Joshua M.
Abstract:: The Wood River Basin lies upstream of Upper Klamath Lake, the main reservoir of the USBR Klamath Irrigation Project that provides irrigation water to 210,000 acres of downstream land. Water allocation became a contentious issue in 2001 when drought led to curtailment of irrigation deliveries to the Klamath Irrigation Project...

Regional Scale Modeling of Climate, Cryosphere, and Freshwater Discharge in Changing Coastal Mountain Environments

Creator:: Beamer, Jordan P.
Abstract:: The glaciated coastal mountain watersheds that drain into the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) provide a model laboratory to explore the challenges of hydrological modeling and study the impact of climate and glacier cover change on regional hydrology. The region is data-sparse and contains a complex assemblage of topography and land...
