  • Measurement of Gas Exchange, Stream Metabolism, and Carbon Fluxes of Headwater Streams

    Creator:
    Pennington, Robert S.
    Abstract:
    Freshwater systems are an important component of the global carbon cycle as they outgas disproportionately large quantities of carbon compared to the terrestrial landscape. Of particular importance are headwater streams, which represent roughly 90% of the channel network by length and have been conservatively estimated to outgas roughly 36% of...

  • Soil compaction in central Oregon volcanic ash soils and the subsequent effects on residual ponderosa pine growth

    Creator:
    Parker, Robert T.
    Abstract:
    Although previous research in central Oregon has shown soil compaction can lead to a decline in site productivity, the subject is not understood well enough to predict the growth changes resulting from a given level of soil compaction. A study was initiated to relate the basal area, height and volume...

Using the Siletz River estuary as a case study, this research began by analyzing timber harvest and discharge records of the Siletz River watershed, and found that increased timber harvest coincides...

  • Influence of landscape-scale variables on the age and growth of coastal cutthroat trout Oncorhynchus clarkii clarkii in headwater streams

    Creator:
    Rehe, William G., Jr.
    Abstract:
    This thesis provides the first general description of the natural variation in age structure, growth rates, and survival in headwater populations of coastal cutthroat trout Oncorhynchus clarkii clarkii from western Oregon, and a subsequent synthesis of these life-history characteristics across the range of the subspecies. Age, growth, and survival were...

  • Development of vehicle dynamics tools for motorsports

    Creator:
    Patton, Chris
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, a group of vehicle dynamics simulation tools is developed with two primary goals: to accurately represent vehicle behavior and to provide insight that improves the understanding of vehicle performance. Three tools are developed that focus on tire modeling, vehicle modeling and lap time simulation. Tire modeling is...

    Abstract:
    My thesis, entitled “The Clerk’s Tale: Literal Monstrosities and Allegorical Problems,” argues that Chaucer’s Clerk is engaging both sides of a binary system.
