  • A study of hyporheic characteristics along a longitudinal profile of Lookout Creek, Oregon

    Creator:
    Ninnemann, Jeffery J.
    Abstract:
    The primary goal of this research project is to quantitatively measure the temporal scales of hyporheic exchange along a stream network. Our goal is to examine how hyporheic exchange varies with increasing stream size. Many previous studies focus on single stream reaches or on several reaches of similar sized streams,...

  • 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...

  • Searching for Early Archaeological Sites Along the Central Oregon Coast: A Case Study From Neptune State Park (35LA3), Lane County, Oregon

    Creator:
    Jenevein, Steven A.
    Abstract:
    Locating archaeological sites that predate the arrival of modern sea level has been difficult along the Oregon coast. This is in part believed to be the result of geologic processes that have influenced the preservation, distribution, and visibility of sites within the Oregon coastal landscape. Because of these changes, researchers...

    Creator:
    Lane, David Earl
    Abstract:
    There are typically two responses to the complex environmental problems of our time: 1) doom and gloom and 2) optimism. There is a lot of doom and gloom in the environmental literature. This literature warns that the future portends danger for humans and their life support systems. But when one...

  • UV-assisted lipoic acid ligand exchange of copper indium disulfide-zinc sulfide core-shell quantum dots

    Creator:
    Porth, Lane D.
    Abstract:
    Water-soluble quantum dots obtained through ligand exchange are widely applicable for biological imaging and marking, LEDs, and photovoltaics. Lipoic acid (LA) was reduced to dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA) using 365-nm soft UV light in a process known as photoligation, and ligand exchange with dodecanethiol-capped CuInS₂-ZnS core-shell quantum dots occurred. The reaction...
