  • A second look at Alexander Pope and Newtonian science

    Creator:
    Reid, Tim S.
    Abstract:
    "This Long Disease, My Life": Alexander Pope and the Sciences by Marjorie Nicolson and G.S. Rousseau has been the standard work on Alexander Pope and Newtonian science ever since it was published in 1968. Literary scholars and biographers continue to be swayed by its influence. Unfortunately, the work they so...

  • Developing climate records from speleothems, Oregon Caves National Monument, Oregon

    Creator:
    Vacco, David A.
    Abstract:
    A stalagmite (sample OCNM8-02A) collected from Oregon Caves National Monument (OCNM) was sampled for stable isotope ratios in order to develop a record of Pacific Northwest climate history. Nine U-series dates indicate that the record spans the time period - 13.5 - 9.5 ka. The stalagmite growth rate varied from...

  • Ocean Temperature Variability during the Late Pleistocene

    Creator:
    Hoffman, Jeremy Scott
    Abstract:
    This dissertation explores one overarching question relevant to the paleoclimate of the latest Pleistocene glacial cycle (approximately the last 130,000 years): “How did spatial and temporal evolution of ocean temperature, both at the surface and interior, relate to other parts of the climate system in the late Pleistocene?” Results from...

  • Modeling and dating glacier fluctuations and their relation to Pacific Ocean climate

    Creator:
    Anslow, Faron S.
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents the results of an investigation into the interactions between the present-day South Cascade Glacier and the former Mauna Kea ice cap at short (annual to centennial) and long (millennial and multimillennial) time scales. To quantify the response of South Cascade Glacier to atmospheric conditions, a surface energy...

  • Late Pleistocene and Holocene glacier and climate change

    Creator:
    Marcott, Shaun Andrew
    Abstract:
    This dissertation presents results from three studies that address major scientific questions in glacial geology and paleoclimatology for the late Pleistocene and Holocene using relatively new geochemical and statistical techniques. Each of the studies attempts to answer a longstanding question in the respective field using geochemical or statistical methods that...

  • Past climate variability in southwestern Oregon and relationships with regional and hemispheric climate

    Creator:
    Ersek, Vasile
    Abstract:
    This dissertation presents the results of three studies that assessed climate variability on short and long timescales in western United States. The growth of carbonate formations in caves (speleothems) is used to infer the timing and amplitude of past climate variability. We first assess the controls on speleothem growth for...

  • The economic value of native pollinators in regard to Oregon blueberry production

    Creator:
    Ritter, Daniel J.
    Abstract:
    Blueberry production in Oregon is highly reliant upon the ecosystem services of native pollinators, which provide as much as a quarter of the total pollination services received by Blueberry growers. However, the health of these pollinator populations may be affected in yet unforeseen ways as growers adopt new pest management...

  • Students' perceptions of teacher characteristics : how these perceptions relate to student self-esteem and locus of control perceptions

    Creator:
    Alexander, Robert M.
    Abstract:
    This investigation was a two stage study performed in two urban/ rural communities in Washington State. Stage I was an effort to replicate a study performed in an eastern Virginia school district whereby results were obtained demonstrating that 9th graders and black students identified teacher warmth behaviors as being important...

  • Spherical mirror resonators and optical mode selection

    Creator:
    Adrion, Robert Foisy
    Abstract:
    This is a review paper based on recent literature in the areas of spherical mirror resonators and optical mode selection. The Fabry-Perot interferometer with spherical mirrors has been widely used as a laser resonator. The modes of oscillation, diffraction losses and resonance condition are determined for the confocal resonator, i.e....

  • Analyzing large paleoclimate datasets : implications for past and future climate change

    Creator:
    Shakun, Jeremy D.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation presents the results of statistical analyses of large climate datasets from two time intervals – the 20th century instrumental record and the proxy record of the last deglaciation – in order to understand the forcings and mechanisms of past climate variability. A longstanding question in climate dynamics concerns...
