Analysis of dredge tailings pile patterns : applications for historical archaeological research

Creator:: Purdy, Sarah E.
Abstract:: For centuries humans have been searching for precious metals. The search for gold has greatly changed the landscape of the American West, beginning in the 1850s and continuing today. Various gold rushes around the country created mining colonies in remote areas, thereby connecting the frontier with the rest of America...

Using An Array of NE Pacific Margin Sediment Samples to Link Land and Ocean Responses to Glacial-Interglacial Climate Variability

Creator:: Wilson, Kiya L.
Abstract:: Variability in the terrigenous (land-derived) fraction of marine sediments, including pollen and rock fragments, reflects the effects of regional climate change on continentally derived runoff, ice extent, vegetation and ocean circulation. The transport of this continental material to the seafloor must be understood in order to interpret the terrigenous sediment...

The fluvial response to glacial-interglacial climate change in the Pacific Northwest, USA

Creator:: VanLaningham, Sam J.
Abstract:: This research focuses on the development of new techniques to explore terrestrial-ocean climate linkages along the Pacific Northwest-northeast Pacific Ocean margin. This is done by investigating river response to climate change and by unraveling this history preserved in continental margin sediments. A significant component of this work centers on developing...

Early Commercial Development, Bandon, Oregon : Block 1 of the Averill Addition, 1886-1936

Creator:: Vogel, Betty L.
Abstract:: Block 1 of the Averill Addition played an important role in the early commercial development of Bandon, Oregon, a town located on Oregon's south coast. Retail establishments located on the block supplied the local residents with a variety of merchandise for the period of 1886-1914. During this period Bandon served...

California condors in the Pacific Northwest : integrating history, molecular ecology, and spatial modeling for reintroduction planning

Creator:: D'Elia, Jesse
Abstract:: Reintroduction programs are increasingly being used to save animals from extinction and aid in their recovery. The California Condor (Gymnogyps californianus), one of the most endangered birds in the world, is a remarkable example of how reintroduction programs can help rapidly increase a species' population numbers and range following a...

Climate warming effects on the life cycle of the parasite Ceratomyxa shasta in salmon of the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Chiaramonte, Luciano V.
Abstract:: Aquatic ecosystems continue to be increasingly affected by climate warming. For salmonids in the Pacific Northwest of North America, increasing temperatures pose tighter thermal constraints on their habitat use as well as aspects of their individual performance, such as disease resistance. This thesis examines the effect of temperature on the...

Patterns from the past : exploring gender and ethnicity through historical archaeology among fur trade families in the Willamette Valley of Oregon

Creator:: McAleer, Carolyn Patricia
Abstract:: This thesis examines archaeological material in order to explore gender and ethnicity issues concerning fur trade era families from a settlement in the Willamette Valley, Oregon. Ethnohistorical information consisting of traders journals and travelers observations, as well as documentation from the Hudson's Bay Company, Catholic church records, and genealogical information...

Zooplankton of the Galapagos Islands

Creator:: Figueroa, Diego
Abstract:: The marine climate of the Galapagos is spatially and seasonally heterogeneous. A taxonomically comprehensive study of Galapagos zooplankton has never been done. This study is an initial effort to establish the distribution and community structure of zooplankton in the Archipelago. I collected zooplankton samples by vertical tows over the Galapagos...

Characterization of Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis Interactions with Host Macrophages and Multinucleated Giant Cells

Creator:: Joseph, Jayanthi J.
Abstract:: To examine the macrophage response to M. avium, I compared inflammasome and cytosolic sensor expression and activation. My result demonstrated that virulent strains of M. avium (A5 and 104) suppress IL-1β production and induce IFN-β production in macrophages. M. avium mutants deficient at DNA export in the biofilm exhibited reduced...

John Archibald Wheeler : a study of mentoring in modern physics

Creator:: Christensen, Terry M.
Abstract:: This dissertation has two objectives. The first objective is to determine where best to situate the study of mentoring (i.e. the 'making of scientists') on the landscape of the history of science and science studies. This task is accomplished by establishing mentoring studies as a link between the robust body...

New Applications for Passive Samplers : In-situ Flux and Risk Assessment of Legacy and Emerging Contaminants

Creator:: Tidwell, Lane G.
Abstract:: Passive sampling devices (PSDs) were used to measure air vapor and water dissolved phase concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and oxygenated PAHs (OPAHs) at two different environmentally contaminated sites. Environmental contaminates like PAHs and OPAHs are present in both the atmospheric and aqueous environmental compartments. It is known that...

Ecosystem Functions of Pacific Northwest Estuaries: The Role of Ocean and Watershed Drivers in Eelgrass and Coho Salmon Dynamics

Creator:: Magel, Caitlin L.
Abstract:: Interest is expanding for the potential role of estuaries, particularly seagrass and salt marsh habitats, to sequester carbon, mitigate ocean acidification, and support abundant fisheries. The important functions of estuaries are part of a broader set of ecosystem services, or benefits to humans, which are regulated by ocean and watershed...

Peavy Arboretum : an archaeological and historical investigation of a Willamette Valley landscape

Creator:: Hylton, Lindon B.
Abstract:: This thesis documents a period of ecological and cultural change on a Willamette Valley, Oregon landscape. In particular, this study examines the Peavy Arboretum area and the cultural changes that accompanied the transformation of the landscape from an oak savannah in the mid-nineteenth century to a dense Douglas-fir forest in...
