  • Numerical model investigations of wind-driven coastal circulation

    Creator:
    Cervantes, Brandy T.
    Abstract:
    The effects of wind forcing on coastal ocean circulation are studied using a numerical modeling approach. The first region of interest is on the North Carolina shelf, where the Coastal Ocean Processes (CoOP) Inner Shelf Study (ISS) took place during August - November 1994. ISS observations are used to initialize,...

  • Modeling studies of mesoscale circulation in the Gulf of California

    Creator:
    Martínez Alcalá, José Antonio
    Abstract:
    The mesoscale circulation in the Gulf of California is investigated using a numerical model (Princeton Ocean Model). Forced by satellite-derived winds, the circulation in the gulf shows a complex pattern dominated in the southern gulf by multiple eddies. Near the coast and in most of the north gulf, the circulation...

  • Challenges to stakeholder participation in coastal resource management : Allen, Northern Samar, Philippines

    Creator:
    Ulrich, Donald R.
    Abstract:
    Collaborative management of subsistence fisheries in the Philippines requires policies that devolve authority to the local level. This involves creating mechanisms to hold managers accountable for creating opportunities for active participation by fisher folk communities. The Philippines has created a comprehensive national framework for the co-management of coastal resources at...

  • High resolution spectroscopic studies of ³²S¹⁶O₃ and ³⁴S¹⁶O₃

    Creator:
    Barber, Jeffrey
    Abstract:
    The two sulfur isotopomers of sulfur trioxide, ³²S¹⁶O₃ and ³⁴S¹⁶O₃, have been studied via high resolution infrared and Coherent anti-Stokes Raman (CARS) spectroscopy. The v₁ symmetric SO stretching Q-branches observed by the latter are quite different, being especially complex for ³²S¹⁶O₃ Understanding this band structure required analysis of infrared-active hot...

  • Addressing the future of water in Oregon : a look at the human and institutional factors shaping Oregon water management

    Creator:
    Wolters, Erika Allen
    Abstract:
    Oregon is a state with great social and ecological diversity. Unfortunately however, Oregon's water-rich reputation is more rumor than reality. As with many Western states, Oregon struggles with water scarcity, especially during dry summer months. Recent efforts by the state to develop an integrated water resource strategy (IWRS) to manage...

  • Heavy fermion effective mass in the superconducting vortex state

    Creator:
    Townsend, Emily A.
    Abstract:
    The extended-Lifshitz-Kosevitch formalism (ELK) unifies the treatment of the de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) effect, allowing it to transcend its traditional roles of mapping Fermi surfaces and measuring effective masses. Here we exploit the capabilities of dHvA as a probe of many-body effects to examine heavy-fermion su- perconductivity. ELK successfully describes...

  • Federal soil conservation policy of the United States : priorities, values, and opportunities

    Creator:
    Pape, Timothy
    Abstract:
    The objective of this dissertation is to examine federally administered soil conservation policy within the United States and the broadly defined Columbia River Basin in the US Northwest. I accomplish this in five chapters. In the first chapter I provide background information for the study. In the second chapter I...

    Abstract:
    In this thesis, in order to understand why Buddhists in Southeast Asia protect rainforests and to establish a solid foundation for Buddhist environmental ethic, my first two tasks are to draw a clear picture regarding two major environmental concepts--nature and anthropocentrism--in Buddhism and to defend the claims that the Buddhist...

  • A Practical, Ethical Critique of Hydraulic Fracturing and the Shale Gas Extraction Process

    Creator:
    Bullock, Claude George, III
    Abstract:
    This thesis analyzes the emerging technology of hydraulic fracturing and shale gas extraction process through a pluralistic philosophical approach. Rather than defending traditional values in nature, such as intrinsic value, I defend a metaphilosophical pragmatism centered on policy implications. I argue that different philosophical positions will, most of the time,...

  • Ethics and Human Biomedical Enhancement : A Case for Compatibilism

    Creator:
    White, Benjamin A.
    Abstract:
    This thesis explores some of the ethical issues pertaining to the use of so-called radical enhancement technology. Key concepts analyzed include “normal function”, “human being”, and “personhood.” I argue that the use of these key concepts in the debate thus far has lacked philosophical rigor, and that a reexamination of...
