Wind-current Interactions of the Sri Lanka Dome and Tropical Indian Ocean

Creator:: Cullen, Kerstin
Abstract:: The southwest monsoon, which may be idealized as the northward movement of the intertropical convergence zone in the Indian Ocean associated with differential heating of land and ocean, brings a seasonal reversal of currents and winds in the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea. Atmospheric convection from monsoon activity...

Life in (an)other world : issues of otherness and magic in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series

Creator:: Fennell, Dalicia K.
Abstract:: My thesis is comprised of two articles, titled "Journeying Through (An)Other World: Examining the Role of Magic and Transformational Otherness in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" and "Magic, Muggles, and Mudbloods: Examining Magical Otherness in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter Series." The introduction frames the thematic, theoretical, and critical connections...

In Defense of the "Ringding Mukta" : The Later Work of J.D. Salinger

Creator:: Herb, Danielle Kristine
Abstract:: My thesis explores the later work of author J.D. Salinger, including two narratives featured in Nine Stories, "A Perfect Day for Bananafish," and "Teddy," and Franny and Zooey, "Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters," and "Seymour: an Introduction." Through my analysis I argue that the religious nature of Salinger's fiction...

A phenological examination of terrestrial invertebrate abundance at H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest, Oregon

Creator:: Mackereth, Kailan F.
Abstract:: Abstract Understanding the effects of climate change on forest ecosystems requires exploration of the relationships of different components of the system, such as the response of biota to local hydrology, temperature, precipitation, and elevation. The Long-term Ecological Research Program at the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest, located in the Western...

Quantifying C and N contents and isotope signatures of SOM pools in the H. J. Andrews DIRT plots

Creator:: Keirstead, Heath
Abstract:: The mechanisms governing short- and long-term belowground carbon dynamics need to be understood. As part of a larger project developed to assess the effect of quantity and quality of litter inputs on the rate of soil organic matter (SOM) formation, I examined SOM in the H. J. Andrews Detritus Input...

Effect of adult aquatic insect life history on return to Lookout Creek, H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest, Oregon

Creator:: Farrand, Alexander Mark
Abstract:: Aquatic insects that emerge out of streams to mate represent a potential energy flux to terrestrial food webs. The relative success of an individual aquatic adult insect is whether it survives long enough to produce offspring, i.e. mate and return to the stream to oviposit eggs. Some characteristics of the...

Fantastic Histories: How Malory's Morte Darthur Influenced Tolkien's The Silmarillion

Creator:: Tatom, Simon K.
Abstract:: My thesis, entitled "Fantastic Histories: How Malory's Morte Darthur Influenced Tolkien's The Silmarillion," argues that J.R.R. Tolkien's Silmarillion shares distinct similarities in style and content with Sir Thomas Malory's Morte Darthur, primarily in the lack of detail in the descriptions of characters and events, as each attempts to create a...

Do vigorous young forests reduce streamflow? Results from up to 54 years of streamflow records in eight paired-watershed experiments in the H. J. Andrews and South Umpqua Experimental Forests

Creator:: Perry, Timothy D.
Abstract:: This study quantified the magnitude and timing of summer streamflow deficits in paired-watershed experiments in the Cascade Range of Oregon where mature and old-growth conifer forests were subjected to clearcutting, patch cutting, and overstory thinning treatments in the 1960s and 1970s. Hydrologic effects of clearcutting, small-patch cutting, and overstory thinning...

Evidence of buried particulate organic carbon as foundation for heterotrophic carbon metabolism in the hyporheic zone of a montane headwater stream in the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest, Oregon, USA

Creator:: Serchan, Satish P.
Abstract:: Streams and rivers play a critical role in global carbon (C) cycling by processing, storing, and transporting C. Headwater streams which make up more than 95% of the length of streams and rivers worldwide have disproportionate influence on fluvial C dynamics. The hyporheic zone (HZ) of headwater streams is a...
