Examining Wave Attenuation Rates and Subsurface Pore Pressures Across Three Marsh Restoration Sill Structures on a Sandy Bed

Creator:: Converse, Jordan D.
Abstract:: With rising sea levels and more frequent exposure to extreme storms, coastlines worldwide are vulnerable to increased erosion and loss of natural marsh lands. In an effort to lessen these impacts, there is a growing practice of adapting hard or “gray” coastline protection techniques to more nature-based features that promote...

The influence of sex, migration distance, and latitude on expression of anadromy in Oncorhynchus mykiss

Creator:: Ohms, Haley
Abstract:: The evolution and maintenance of multiple phenotypes within populations is an interesting evolutionary and ecological question, and is becoming increasingly important for the restoration and conservation of partially migratory species. In particular, why individuals adopt a particular phenotype has been the focus of numerous research efforts. In the partially migratory...

Hydraulic predictors and seasonal distribution of Manayunkia speciosa density in the Klamath River, CA, with implications for ceratomyxosis, a disease of salmon and trout

Creator:: Jordan, Michelle S.
Abstract:: The freshwater polychaete Manayunkia speciosa was identified as an obligate host of the salmonid parasite Ceratomyxa shasta in 1997, prompting increased research on the small benthic invertebrate. Ceratomyxa shasta infection in fish can cause mortality, and presents a disease risk for both hatchery and wild salmon and trout. Ceratomyxa shasta...

Soil Health and the Response of the Soil Microbial Community to Disturbances across Western North America

Creator:: Kersey, Jordan H.
Abstract:: Temperate coniferous forests, such as those that cover vast areas of the western US and Canada, have evolved to depend on cycles of disturbance for succession of species and overall ecosystem maintenance. Many of these forest systems are managed, often for timber production, where disturbances are of anthropogenic origin and...

Simulating Soot Formation and Growth using a Parallel Coupled Monte Carlo Method

Creator:: Peters, Jordan
Abstract:: Small hydrocarbon particles such as soot and soot precursors pose a serious threat to human health and Earth's climate. Understanding the mechanisms by which soot particles form and grow is the first step to reducing the prevalence of these particles. Computational simulations are used to investigate combusting systems which are...

Impact of Preharvest Weathering, Without Sprouting, on the Quality of Soft White Winter Wheat in the U.S. Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Smith, Jordan L.
Abstract:: When wheat is exposed to rain in the period before harvest, it sometimes causes the problem of pre-harvest sprouting (PHS). Wheat that undergoes sprouting has poor end-use quality and is less valuable. In recent years, the U. S. Pacific Northwest (PNW) has experienced increased summer showers sometimes causing widespread PHS....

Plant Species Diversity and Pasture Productivity of a High-input Dairy Pastureland System and a Low-input Sheep Pastureland System in Western Oregon, USA

Creator:: Anderson, Jordan D.
Abstract:: The sustainable use of natural resources, including the goods and services provided by pasturelands and rangelands, is of growing importance due to climatic uncertainty and population growth. Maintaining high productivity in livestock operations is necessary as land availability diminishes and global populations rise. The potential negative impacts to the environment...

“We All Live Downriver”: Environmental Justice and Community Resistance to the Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline and Jordan Cove Export Terminal in Southern Oregon

Creator:: Halleran, Patricia C.
Abstract:: Native America tribes and community members throughout Oregon have asserted a strong opposition to the fossil fuel industry’s attempt to expand railways, build pipelines, and construct refineries, holding facilities, and export terminals. Despite the limited presence of fossil fuel infrastructure in the state, however, the industry is actively pursuing permits...

Behavioral constraints on harlequin duck population recovery from the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Prince William Sound, Alaska

Creator:: Rizzolo, Daniel J.
Abstract:: I investigated the relationship between harlequin duck (Histrionicus histrionicus) behavior and lack of recovery from the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Prince William Sound, Alaska. First, I evaluated the hypothesis that harlequin ducks in winter have little flexibility to increase foraging time in response to disturbance because they are constrained...

'Hysterical preservationists' and 'gouge-and-run bulldozer boys' : the land-use controversy in Idaho’s White Cloud Mountains, 1968-1972

Creator:: Jensen, Erica (Erica Lyn)
Abstract:: Similar to other spectacular scenic areas in the American West, Idaho’s White Cloud Mountains have been a contested landscape since the beginning of the 20th century. Although, legislation was introduced in Congress as early as 1913 to protect the towering mountains of south-central Idaho as a national park, the issue...
