Analyzing patterns of woody plant richness at multiple spatial scales with modeled photosynthesis

Creator:: Swenson, Jennifer J.
Abstract:: The hump-shaped relationship that predicts highest species richness (species/unit area) at intermediate levels of productivity was examined for woody plants across the Pacific and Inland Northwest of the U.S. Many studies have examined this relationship at regional scales, but commonly use species range maps and surrogate measures of productivity (e.g....

Analytical method development for the identification, detection, and quantification of emerging environmental contaminants in complex matrices

Creator:: Place, Benjamin J.
Abstract:: The development of analytical methods for emerging contaminants creates many unique challenges for analytical chemists. By their nature, emerging contaminants have inherent data gaps related to their environmental occurrence, fate, and impact. This dissertation is a compilation of three studies related to method development for the structural identification of emerging...

Assessing Chemical Dispersants Used During the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill : Method Innovation and Application

Creator:: Perkins, Matt J.
Abstract:: Large quantities of the chemical oil dispersant Corexit were applied in the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) in response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Large data gaps regarding the potential transport, persistence and impact of Corexit in the Gulf existed at the time of the emergency response. Analytical methods for...

Addressing wastewater epidemiology limitations with the use of dynamic population surrogates, complementary urinalyses and in-situ experiments

Creator:: Brewer, Alex J.
Abstract:: Wastewater epidemiology is an emerging discipline that requires collaborative research involving analytical chemists, drug epidemiologists, and wastewater engineers. Wastewater epidemiology involves the sampling and quantitative analysis of raw wastewaters from communities for illicit drugs and their metabolites. Mass loads (mass per day) and per capita (mg per day per person)...

Comparison of the coat protein gene of raspberry bushy dwarf virus from raspberry and blackberry

Creator:: Chamberlain, Crystle J.
Abstract:: Raspberry bushy dwarf virus (RBDV) infects red raspberry and black raspberry worldwide. Infection causes reduced vigor and drupelet abortion leading to crumbly fruit and reduced yields. While this crumbly fruit can still be used in juice, jam, and preserves, it cannot be used for the more valuable fresh and individually...

The Occurrence of Coastal Sea Ice Leads and their Impact on the Beaufort Gyre

Creator:: Lewis, Benjamin J.
Abstract:: Leads are long fractures wide enough for a ship to travel through the ice pack. Sea ice acts as a barrier between the ocean and the atmosphere, whereas leads allow the transfer of heat and moisture between the two. Leads play a role for marine mammals and are hunting grounds...

Development of novel analytical methods to detect emerging contaminants in aqueous environmental matrices using large-volume injection

Creator:: Backe, Will J.
Abstract:: It is the responsibility of humans, as environmental stewards, to monitor our impact on the environment so that efforts can be made to remediate the effects of our actions and change behaviors. To better understand our environmental footprint, sensitive and simple analytical methods are needed to quantify the contaminants that...

Measuring in situ reductive dechlorination rates in trichloroethene-contaminated groundwater

Creator:: Hageman, Kimberly J.
Abstract:: Trichloroethene (TCE) is the most frequently detected organic contaminant in groundwater, is classified as a probable human carcinogen, and exhibits toxicological effects on the human endocrine, immune, developmental, and reproductive systems. While significant research efforts have been devoted to the development of strategies for remediating TCE-contaminated groundwater, their advancement is...

Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in Environmental Air-Water Matrices and Light Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids (LNAPL)

Creator:: Schwichtenberg, Trever J.
Abstract:: The presence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), organic contaminants first synthesized in the 1940s, has been reported worldwide in a variety of environmental matrices and ultimately in biological systems including humans. Ongoing research into PFAS has included identifying novel PFAS, assessing their fate and transport in the environment, and...

The ChildsPlay Approach: Evaluating an Experimental Approach for Teaching Introductory CS at University

Creator:: Nelson, Aiden J.
Abstract:: University students first learning about computer science (CS) can be intimidated and frustrated by programming. In addition, the general-purpose programming languages chosen for introducing students to programming contain several features that have the potential to overwhelm and distract them from focused curriculum topics, which can lead to reduced retention of...
