Barred owls and forest fragmentation in Oregon Coast range spotted owl sites

Creator:: Rodhouse, Thomas J.
Abstract:: Little information is available on northern barred owl (Strix varia varia) life history in the Pacific Northwest but their invasion into northern spotted owl habitat (Strix occidentalis caurina) appears to be significant and detrimental to conservation of the latter species. Forest fragmentation has been suggested as a possible factor in...

Reproductive Criminalization: Understanding an Increasingly Wicked Problem

Creator:: Van Coutren, Reagan
Abstract:: Pregnant people have been criminalized for their pregnancy outcomes even after Roe v Wade established some rights to reproductive autonomy. Fetal personhood theory, changing societal conceptions of motherhood, and existing racial and class-based biases have fueled an increasing and complex patchwork of punitive policies and interpretations. This study analyzed 35...

Attitudes toward Water Allocation Policy in the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Atkinson, Meagan
Abstract:: Oregon possesses a diversity of natural resources from the dense rain-soaked forests of the Coastal and Cascade ranges to the deep, fertile soils of the Willamette Valley to the arid and semi-arid Snake River Basin. In the Willamette Valley, water resources sustain agriculture, municipalities, hydropower, fish and wildlife, flood control,...

Collective Aquifer Governance: It’s the Water, and a “Hole” Lot More

Creator:: Wiley, Jakob Stevan
Abstract:: Aquifers are a whole lot more than groundwater. Aquifers are composed of many kinds of different resources, including storage space, geothermal energy, surface interactions, and various minerals. However, unlike these resources, groundwater is treated as something different. The transition from groundwater management to groundwater governance expanded the role of social...

"We're not doing it anymore": Analyzing teachers' perceptions of power on their stated decisions to strike

Creator:: Sibley, Cody S.
Abstract:: The overall reduced funding from public education in the United States has sparked a backlash across the country. Citing inadequate resources, low pay, and an inability to control the direction of their classroom, teachers in seven states (West Virginia, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Colorado, Arizona, North Carolina, and Washington) halted instruction time...

The Shades of Participation: Assessing the Barriers to Community Participation in Land-Use Decision-Making Processes That Address Environmental Injustices for Low-Income Communities of Color

Creator:: King, Jasmine
Abstract:: Environmental injustices, defined as inequitable access to fair, safe, and healthy environmental outcomes, are often rooted in issues of land management, policy decision making, and sovereignty. This results from a series of processes, including loss of land ownership, exclusionary and discriminatory zoning, and structural barriers to participation. Black, Indigenous, Communities...

Thinking Outside of the Lunchbox: Exploring Competing Narratives in the Corvallis 509J District School Lunch Policies

Creator:: Inman, Cassandra F.
Abstract:: At its inception in 1946, the United States’ National School Lunch Program (NSLP) was promoted as a success story; a boon for families navigating poverty, a means of buoying food prices by absorbing farm surplus, and a treatment for hunger in some of our country’s most vulnerable populations. Government subsidies...

Soot Modeling: GPU Accelerated Direct Simulation Monte Carlo

Creator:: Lorson, Paige
Abstract:: For this project, we designed a soot modeling software to produce a full particle density function. This model uses the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo with a full conditioning particle selection method to capture soot nucleation and coagulation in a diffusion flame. We investigate the use of graphic processing units as...

Erosion Narratives: Applying the Narrative Policy Framework to Louisiana's Coastal Erosion Narrative

Creator:: Lade, Andrew
Abstract:: South Louisiana has a major coastal erosion problem, exposing coastal communities to storm surge. The state is spending billions of dollars on projects that are not expected to last beyond 20 years. Research indicates that predominate stories influence problem definitions and solutions. Colten (2017) identified a shift in Louisiana's coastal...
