GeoPost: An Army Installation GIS Cloud Management System for Facilities and Emergency Services

Creator:: Kaiser, Douglas M.
Abstract:: In the last couple years cloud services have become mainstream and easily accessible for organizations to purchase and utilize. GeoPost is a variant on that by introducing GIS to it cloud services for installation management. GeoPost takes the Microsoft Azure Cloud and using ESRI’s Enterprise builds a cloud GIS platform....

Land-use in the Willamette Valley from 2004-2017

Creator:: Strimbu, Bogdan M., Mueller-Warrant, George, and Trippe, Kristin
Abstract:: The Willamette Valley, bounded on the west by the Coast Range and on the east by the Cascade Mountains, is the largest river valley completely confined to Oregon. The fertile valley soils combined with a temperate, marine climate create ideal agronomic conditions for seed production. Historically, seed cropping systems in...

Evaluating Temporal Consistency in Marine Biodiversity Hotspots

Creator:: Piacenza, Susan E., Thurman, Lindsey L., Barner, Allison K., Benkwitt, Cassandra E., Boersma, Kate S., Cerny-Chipman, Elizabeth B., Ingeman, Kurt E., Kindinger, Tye L., Lindsley, Amy J., Nelson, Jake, Reimer, Jessica N., Rowe, Jennifer C., Shen, Chenchen, Thompson, Kevin A., and Heppell, Selina S.
Abstract:: With the ongoing crisis of biodiversity loss and limited resources for conservation, the concept of biodiversity hotspots has been useful in determining conservation priority areas. However, there has been limited research into how temporal variability in biodiversity may influence conservation area prioritization. To address this information gap, we present an...

Patterns and Variation in Benthic Biodiversity in a Large Marine Ecosystem

Creator:: Piacenza, Susan E., Barner, Allison K., Benkwitt, Cassandra E., Boersma, Kate S., Cerny-Chipman, Elizabeth B., Ingeman, Kurt E., Kindinger, Tye L., Lee, Jonathan D., Lindsley, Amy J., Reimer, Jessica N., Rowe, Jennifer C., Shen, Chenchen, Thompson, Kevin A., Thurman, Lindsey L., and Heppell, Selina S.
Abstract:: While there is a persistent inverse relationship between latitude and species diversity across many taxa and ecosystems, deviations from this norm offer an opportunity to understand the conditions that contribute to large-scale diversity patterns. Marine systems, in particular, provide such an opportunity, as marine diversity does not always follow a...

First Direct Evidence for Natal Wintering Ground Fidelity and Estimate of Juvenile Survival in the New Zealand Southern Right Whale Eubalaena australis

Creator:: Carroll, E. L., Fewster, R. M., Childerhouse, S. J., Patenaude, N. J., Boren, L., and Baker, C. S.
Abstract:: Juvenile survival and recruitment can be more sensitive to environmental, ecological and anthropogenic factors than adult survival, influencing population-level processes like recruitment and growth rate in long-lived, iteroparous species such as southern right whales. Conventionally, Southern right whales are individually identified using callosity patterns, which do not stabilise until 6–12...

Initial Evidence for Adaptive Selection on the NADH Subunit Two of Freshwater Dolphins by Analyses of Mitochondrial Genomes

Creator:: Caballero, Susana, Duchêne, Sebastian, Garavito, Manuel F., Slikas, Beth, and Baker, C. Scott
Abstract:: A small number of cetaceans have adapted to an entirely freshwater environment, having colonized rivers in Asia and South America from an ancestral origin in the marine environment. This includes the 'river dolphins', early divergence from the odontocete lineage, and two species of true dolphins (Family Delphinidae). Successful adaptation to...

Can Observation Skills of Citizen Scientists Be Estimated Using Species Accumulation Curves?

Creator:: Kelling, Steve, Johnston, Alison, Hochachka, Wesley M., Iliff, Marshall, Fink, Daniel, Gerbracht, Jeff, Lagoze, Carl, La Sorte, Frank A., Moore, Travis, Wiggins, Andrea, Wong, Weng-Keen, Wood, Chris, and Yu, Jun
Abstract:: Volunteers are increasingly being recruited into citizen science projects to collect observations for scientific studies. An additional goal of these projects is to engage and educate these volunteers. Thus, there are few barriers to participation resulting in volunteer observers with varying ability to complete the project’s tasks. To improve the...

Creation of At This Point, an undergraduate-focused science podcast

Creator:: Puoci, Victor (Tori) M.
Abstract:: At This Point, an undergraduate-focused science podcast, works to expand the accessibility of science by exploring topics that, at this point, may seem too complex to understand. This thesis project describes the process of creating At This Point and demonstrates how the podcast fulfills the criteria of effective science communication....

Cold Seep Epifaunal Communities on the Hikurangi Margin, New Zealand: Composition, Succession, and Vulnerability to Human Activities

Creator:: Bowden, David A., Rowden, Ashley A., Thurber, Andrew R., Baco, Amy R., Levin, Lisa A., and Smith, Craig R.
Abstract:: Cold seep communities with distinctive chemoautotrophic fauna occur where hydrocarbon-rich fluids escape from the seabed. We describe community composition, population densities, spatial extent, and within-region variability of epifaunal communities at methane-rich cold seep sites on the Hikurangi Margin, New Zealand. Using data from towed camera transects, we match observations to...

Spatiotemporal distribution of the anti-diabetic drug, metformin, in the lower Columbia River and its effect on phytoplankton growth

Creator:: Cummings, Brittany M.
Abstract:: Water quality impacts both human and ecosystem health. Many pharmaceuticals and personal care products are considered contaminants of emerging concern (CEC) due to their bioactive properties. Among these, metformin—the most commonly prescribed drug for treatment of type 2 diabetes—has been reported at high concentrations (μg L⁻¹) in stream, lake, and...
