Characterization of ecosystem structure and function recovery within the NOAA MOC-P mitigation basin, Newport, Oregon

Creator:: Lewis, Nate S.
Abstract:: Seagrass ecosystems are considered some of the most productive coastal habitats in the world. One such seagrass within estuaries of the Pacific Northwest, Zostera marina (eelgrass), is recognized to be an ecosystem engineering species that provides many important ecosystem functions and services. In 2010, construction of the National Oceanic and...

Aromatic hydrocarbon contaminants : investigations of detection methods, bioremediation strategies, and toxicity impacts

Creator:: Huizenga, Juliana M.
Abstract:: Aromatic hydrocarbons represent a large class of environmental contaminants that have a broad range of structures, physicochemical properties, and toxicities. Arising from the burning of organic matter, particularly fossil fuels, they are both widespread and abundant in all environmental compartments. Both monoaromatic hydrocarbons (BTEX) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are...

The Guess & Check: Evaluating the Usability and Effectiveness of a Primary Prevention Assessment Tool for Classroom Teachers

Creator:: Kittelman, Angus J.
Abstract:: Schools are continually faced with the challenge of providing students with a comprehensive system of support. Previous research based on the practices and systems of Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (PBIS) suggests that having effective primary prevention measures in place can help to reduce problem behavior before it occurs (Ingram,...

The People's band: U2 and international activism

Creator:: Peterson, Maxie Jean
Abstract:: The end of the Cold War brought about changes within international political relations that resulted in expanded interest in global civil society. Such developments, like globalization and democratization, have encouraged the growth of social and political organizations. Political scientists have found that these inter-governmental and non-governmental organizations have a significant...

Utilizing a Lab-Based Minority Stress Paradigm for Experimental Research among Sexual and Gender Minority Groups: Application and Considerations

Creator:: Fahey, Kalina M. L.
Abstract:: Sexual and gender minority (SGM) samples report elevated rates of substance use and substance use disorder compared to their heterosexual and cisgender counterparts across a wide variety of substances (Connolly & Gilchrist, 2020; Krueger et al., 2020; Rice et al., 2019), in part due to the experience of minority stress....

Estimation and Sparse Selection of Conditional Probability Models for Vector Time Series

Creator:: Ruiz, Trevor D.
Abstract:: Diverse scientific fields collect multiple time series data to investigate the dynamical behavior of complex systems: atmospheric and climate science, geophysics, neuroscience, epidemiology, ecology, and environmental science. Identifying patterns of mutual dependence among such data generates valuable knowledge that can be applied either for inferential or forecasting purposes. Vector autoregressive...

Radon-222 as an in situ partitioning tracer for quantifying nonaqueous phase liquid (NAPL) saturations in the subsurface

Creator:: Davis, Brian M.
Abstract:: This study investigated the use of radon-222 as an in situ partitioning tracer for quantifying nonaqueous phase liquid (NAPL) saturations in the subsurface. Laboratory physical aquifer models (PAMs), field experiments, and numerical simulations were used to investigate radon partitioning in static (no-flow) experiments and in single-well, 'push-pull' tests conducted in...

On Time for the Future: Student Perspectives of a High School-Community College Dual-Enrollment Program

Creator:: Jones, Terese
Abstract:: In the current global economy, higher education is critical for gaining and keeping living-wage jobs. The need for a college-educated labor force has increased interest among youth in pursuing higher education (National Center for Education Statistics, 2013). Despite these demands, the United States has struggled to effectively increase college completion...

Eelgrass-macroalgae interactions; context-dependency in upwelling-influenced estuaries

Creator:: Hessing-Lewis, Margot
Abstract:: This dissertation investigates the context-dependency of species interactions between seagrass and macroalgae in upwelling-influenced estuaries. In all coastal systems, nutrient loading is multidirectional, resulting from mostly freshwater and marine inputs. The directionality of nutrient inputs may affect the rate of supply of organic matter to the system. In systems where...

Alternative orchard floor management practices, soil quality, nitrogen fertilizeruptake, and apple tree growth and yield

Creator:: McDonald, Sarah Finger
Abstract:: Orchard floor management (OFM) practices can improve soil function and alter the soil biological community. Soil function is dependent on soil forming materials and on management practices but little is known about how OFM affect orchard soil quality, fertilizer N uptake, or tree growth and production. Research plots were located...
