Automated Layout of Origin-destination Flow Maps : U.S. County-to-county Migration 2009-2013

Creator:: Stephen, Daniel M.
Abstract:: Visualizing large movement datasets with flow maps is difficult because overlapping flows create significant graphical conflicts that make accurate interpretation difficult or impossible. Interactive flow mapping applications allow users to explore large movement datasets by automatically generating flow maps from subsets of the data in response to queries by the...

Geographic distributions of prey of the northern spotted owl in the central western Cascades, Oregon, 1988-2009

Creator:: Smoluk, Alexis
Abstract:: Spatial variation in the diet of the northern spotted owl (Strix occidentalis caurina) influences owl home ranges, and understanding this relationship will aid managers in forest management prescriptions that influence spotted owl recovery. This study describes the spatial variation in owl diet based on 4183 prey collected at 114 owl...

Comparing the hydrography and copepod community structure of the continental shelf ecosystems of Washington and Oregon, USA from 1998 to 2009 : can a single transect serve as an index of ocean conditions over a broader area?

Creator:: Lamb, Jesse F.
Abstract:: Bi-weekly sampling of zooplankton and environmental parameters was conducted along a cross-shelf transect off the coast of Newport, OR, USA (44.65°N) from 1996 to present. Results have demonstrated the feasibility of using copepod community structure as an early indicator of ecosystem response to seasonal and large scale environmental changes in...

Toward establishing the validity of the transformative optimism construct measurement for tsunami preparedness : a structural equation model for visitors of the Pacific Northwest coast

Creator:: Ríos-Uribe, Carlos Andrés
Abstract:: Measurements of social constructs that evaluate natural hazard preparedness are important to decrease natural hazard vulnerability. Preparedness reduces natural hazard impacts and human vulnerability. Investment in education and education research contribute to human sustainable development and natural hazard preparedness. Faced with other needs, people typically do not prepare enough to...

Observations on the evolution of shoaling nonlinear internal waves in Massachusetts Bay using shipboard X-band radar

Creator:: Nelson, Brian G.
Abstract:: During four cruises in July and September of 2008 and 2009, the shipboard X-band radar was tuned to detect the modulated bands of surface roughness caused by converging and diverging currents associated with high-frequency nonlinear internal wave (NLIW) packets. The data collected was used to quantify the propagation direction (ϴp),...

A perceived-risk curriculum for at-risk learners

Creator:: Kash, Laurel Renee
Abstract:: Although perceived-risk curriculum, that is, where the learner experiences effects of eustress (positive stress), has been used in Arts or outdoor activities, it has not been used in school classrooms. Milkman’s 1996 studies of after-school Project Self Discovery demonstrated that at-risk students lessened their adverse risky behaviors, such as substance...
