Design and Analysis of Free-space Optical Communications Systems for Next Generation Short-range Wireless Networks

Creator:: Liverman, Spencer
Abstract:: This dissertation focuses on indoor free-space optical communications systems for use in short range wireless networks. We propose that current radio frequency wireless links be augmented or replaced with optical frequency links due to overcrowding in the radio frequency spectrum. Optical frequencies contain hundreds of terahertz of unregulated bandwidth and...

Early post-restoration recovery of tidal wetland structure and function at the Southern Flow Corridor project, Tillamook Bay, Oregon

Creator:: Janousek, Christopher, Bailey, Scott, van de Wetering, Stan, Brophy, Laura, Bridgham, Scott, Schultz, Matthew, and Tice-Lewis, Maxwell
Abstract:: A substantial fraction of estuarine tidal wetlands have been lost to development or other human uses in the Pacific Northwest since the 1800s. Wetland restoration, typically through tidal re-connection, can restore normal tidal hydrology to these areas and improve estuarine capacity to support ecosystem functions and services. Restoration may initiate...

Emergent Properties of Animal Social Networks: Five Stories in Five Systems

Creator:: Devan-Song, E. Anne
Abstract:: Animals aggregate and interact in nonuniform and nonrandom patterns, which lead to group level characteristics that have important evolutionary and ecological consequences. Network analysis provides a useful conceptual framework for linking animal interactions at all scales from dyads to communities, to populations and ecosystems. Despite exciting theoretical and applied advances...

A Comparative Analysis of Literature Search Results for Chinook Restoration Project Evaluation Between 2012 and 2022 Western Pacific Studies in California, Oregon, and Washington

Creator:: Clark, Erica Jennifer
Abstract:: Pacific salmon are an integral part of ecosystems, industry, culture, and food source. Rapid declines and extirpation in many populations and species have caught the interest of environmentalists, scientists, recreational anglers, commercial fishers, general public, and economists. Billions of dollars have been spent to restore, return, improve, sustain dwindling populations...

The hazards-housing nexus : adaptive capacity wheel analysis of coastal planning institutions

Creator:: Patterson, Trisha
Abstract:: The Oregon coast faces complex environmental and social challenges, such as the threat of a regionally disastrous Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) earthquake and tsunami. Researchers are united in their assertion that the CSZ is new, the region is due for a quake, and to mitigate this hazard society must collaborate...

The Climate Change - Homelessness Nexus : how disaster response institutions reinforce structural vulnerability in wildfire-impacted communities in Oregon

Creator:: Werdel, Carly Inez
Abstract:: In communities impacted by climate disasters, institutions largely determine the distribution of outcomes within a population. This research aims to examine the role of institutions in differential outcomes for displaced communities impacted by the 2020 Labor Day Wildfires in the Santiam Canyon and the Rogue Valley. Using semi-structured interviews of...

A socio-technical study on the improved characterization of stakeholder behaviors and stream temperature in design of watershed conservation practices for climate change adaptation

Creator:: Noa-Yarasca, Efrain
Abstract:: Characterizing stakeholder behavior when making decisions in watershed management is a great challenge for planners, not only because plans are associated with physical uncertainties but also because stakeholders’ behaviors are influenced by numerous factors. Since stakeholders’ decision-making is linked to multiple types of uncertainty, communication of uncertainty to stakeholders by...
