Insights into Centennial-Scale Salt Marsh Morphodynamics from the Oregon Coast

Creator:: Peck, Erin K.
Abstract:: Quantification and comparison of morphological changes over the last ~300 y in Oregon salt marshes provide valuable insights into the tectonic, hydroclimatic, and anthropogenic processes shaping this important intertidal zone. Understanding of the rates and drivers of salt marsh change contextualizes intertidal habitats within the sediment routing system (i.e., source...

Competing Roles of Sea Level Rise and Sediment Supply on Sediment Accretion and Carbon Burial in Tidal Wetlands; Northern Oregon, USA

Creator:: Peck, Erin K.
Abstract:: Quantification of contemporary sediment and carbon accumulation within Oregon tidal saline wetlands will: (1) fill a critical knowledge gap, and (2) naturally test without complicating variables whether sea level rise or sediment supply primarily control wetland growth. Here we measure vertical accretion rates and carbon burial rates in three Oregon...

Double-crested Cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus) and Brandt’s Cormorants (P. penicillatus) Breeding at East Sand Island in the Columbia River Estuary : Foraging Ecology, Colony Connectivity, and Overwinter Dispersal

Creator:: Peck-Richardson, Adam
Abstract:: Double-crested cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus) and Brandt’s cormorants (P. penicillatus) nest sympatrically in a large mixed-species colony on East Sand Island (ESI) in the Columbia River estuary. Ecological theory predicts that such morphologically similar species will partition prey resources when faced with resource limitations. During the summer of 2014, I investigated...

Economics of drought preparedness and response in irrigated agriculture

Creator:: Peck, Dannele E.
Abstract:: The impact of recent severe droughts throughout the United States, the potential for climate change to intensify the frequency and severity of drought, and discussion about the future of government assistance in agriculture highlight the need for a transition from drought as ‘disaster’ to drought as ‘managed risk’. However, guidance...

Factors Influencing Streamflow Generation Processes in Rain-dominated, Coastal Watersheds in Oregon

Creator:: Pazdral, Rosemary
Abstract:: Relative to other systems in the PNW, the rain-dominated, coastal watersheds of western Oregon have shallow aquifers. Given the seasonality of streamflow and storage limitations in coastal, rain-dominated watersheds, changes in the temporal patterns of precipitation have the potential to magnify the risk of extreme streamflow conditions during both high-...

Theodore Dwight Weld's use of the judicial motif in American Slavery As It Is: Testimony of a Thousand Witnesses

Creator:: Trudeau, Justin Thomas
Abstract:: This thesis examines the rhetoric of Theodore Dwight Weld's American Slavery As It Is: Testimony of a Thousand Witnesses. Published anonymously in 1839, Weld's publication became the longest antislavery tract in American history. It left its mark on the abolitionist movement itself and future antislavery literary works most notably Uncle...

DNA markers linked to novel sources of resistance to eastern filbert blight in European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.)

Creator:: Sathuvalli, Vidyasagar R.
Abstract:: The hundred-year history of the hazelnut industry in the Pacific Northwest is threatened by eastern filbert blight (EFB) caused by the fungus Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Müller. Marker-assisted selection (MAS) has been extensively used for ‘Gasaway’ resistance in the hazelnut breeding program at Oregon State University. Concern over breakdown of...

New sources and linked AFLP markers for Eastern filbert blight resistance in hazelnut

Creator:: Chen, Honglin
Abstract:: Eastern filbert blight (EFB), caused by Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Miiller, is a devastating disease to orchards of the European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) in the Willamette Valley, Oregon. Host resistance is the most desirable means of disease control. Fifty-eight hazelnut accessions, including European cultivars and interspecific hybrids were evaluated...

DNA markers and characterization of novel sources of eastern filbert blight resistance in European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.)

Creator:: Peterschmidt, Brooke C.
Abstract:: European hazelnut is a significant crop in the Pacific Northwest, and the US ranks 4th internationally for hazelnut production. Production in the Pacific Northwest is threatened, however, by the disease eastern filbert blight (EFB) caused by the fungus Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Müller. To meet the challenges faced by the...

Growth, Condition, and Survival of Larval Arctic Cod and Walleye Pollock in a Warming Ocean

Creator:: Koenker, Brittany L.
Abstract:: Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida) is an ecologically significant species that plays a critical role channeling energy throughout the Arctic marine food web. Arctic cod is uniquely adapted to occupy ice edge habitats, however, a basic understanding of its larval physiology and habitat requirements is lacking due to widespread sea ice...
