Grazing Effects on Fuels and Plant Community Characteristics across Three Community Types in Wyoming Big Sagebrush Steppe

Creator:: Thomas, Tyler W.
Abstract:: Livestock grazing is the prominent land use in Wyoming big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata ssp. wyomingensis [Beetle & A. Young] S.L. Welsh) steppe and has been present since the late 1800’s. There have been calls to remove livestock grazing from rangelands as historic grazing practices resulted in the degradation of some...

Designing and Evaluating a User Interface for Multi-Robot Furniture

Creator:: Stoddard, Brett
Abstract:: A chair, once placed, will stay put until moved. Or will it? With the rise of technology being embeddable into everyday objects, what if that chair could move itself? Such robotic furniture has been featured in advertisements, art, and Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) research. Existing methods for operating robotic furniture have...

Boundaries Crossed and Boundaries Made: The Productive Tension Between Learning and Influence in Transformative Networks

Creator:: Risien, Julie and Goldstein, Bruce Evan
Abstract:: We present an in-depth case study of a learning network that aims to transform infrastructure and practice across the research enterprise to advance societal impacts. The theory of social morphogenesis guides our processual qualitative analysis of the network. We describe how different types of boundary work, both building and navigating...

Development and Evaluation of an Active Learning Tool for Data Decision Making

Creator:: Llebot, Clara, Zhang, Hui, and Boock, Michael
Abstract:: Three library faculty at Oregon State University (OSU), a research intensive university, created the Data Sharing Wizard (the Wizard), a Scenario-Based, online, interactive learning tool that helps students learn about the sharing of research datasets with a focus on intellectual property and decision making. Using the Wizard, students are able...

Quantifying uncertainty in exposure to coastal hazards associated with both climate change and adaptation strategies : a U.S. Pacific Northwest alternative coastal futures analysis

Creator:: Mills, Alexis K., Ruggiero, Peter, Bolte, John P., Serafin, Katherine A., and Lipiec, Eva
Abstract:: Coastal communities face heightened risk to coastal flooding and erosion hazards due to sea-level rise, changing storminess patterns, and evolving human development pressures. Incorporating uncertainty associated with both climate change and the range of possible adaptation measures is essential for projecting the evolving exposure to coastal flooding and erosion, as...

Vulnerability and adaptation of Pacific Northwest shellfisheries to ocean acidification

Creator:: Katz, Brian G.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to understand the vulnerability and adaptive capacity of shellfish stakeholders in the Pacific Northwest who are adapting to ocean acidification (OA). This study developed a geovisualization tool of existing environmental data for assessing species-specific risk profiles to OA (based on their exposure and sensitivity),...

Sheep and Goat Grazing on Fort Ord National Monument from 1998 – 2019: Implications for Restoration

Creator:: Hart, Christopher
Abstract:: Since 1960 sheep have been used to reduce fuel accumulation on Fort Ord National Monument (FONM) grasslands. From 1997-2019 BLM’s monitoring projects were employed to determine livestock grazing impacts on Coyote Brush, bunchgrasses, and other native and non-native herbaceous vegetation. In 2014, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) determined that...
