Globalization of water resources : examining social learning using serious gaming

Creator:: Taha, Fatima A. M.
Abstract:: This study examined the Water Footprint Computer Assisted Board Game (WFCABG) as a tool for enhancing the social learning of water resources issues surrounding commodities trade. The study engaged 73 students from various countries and professional backgrounds, in two academic settings in two different countries: Oregon State University (United States)...

Rework Practices in the Dairy Industry and Their Potential Contribution to Microbial Spoilage

Creator:: Rush, Casey E.
Abstract:: Rework is a common practice in the dairy industry as a way for processors to minimize waste while recovering costs for dairy products that are unsaleable. The regulations available for reworking fluid dairy products only outline product eligibility requirements with a focus on repasteurization of the products containing rework as...

Net Values: Social and Economic Impacts of the Oregon Marine Reserves on the Fishing Communities of Garibaldi, Depoe Bay, and Port Orford

Creator:: Robison, Frederick Vaughn
Abstract:: Net Values is an Environmental Arts & Humanities thesis that centers around a research project of the same name. The research examines individual fishers’ perceptions of adverse economic and social impacts resulting from shifted fishing effort caused by the Oregon Marine Reserves, and looks to understand how fishers use their...

Peakflow causative mechanisms and frequencies at Reynolds Creek, southwestern Idaho

Creator:: Kirkham, Tracie
Abstract:: Peakflow frequency analysis is used in forest hydrology for designing stream crossing structures such as culverts and bridges. The traditional approach to frequency analysis is based on the assumption that the observed sample of peakflows represents a homogeneous population. It is not clear if using the "homogeneous" population of the...

Exploring Educational Tools to Improve Transboundary Groundwater Management

Creator:: Steritz, Melissa S.
Abstract:: Groundwater tables are dropping quickly in many regions of the world. Central Asia is an arid region where groundwater abstraction rates often exceed recharge rates. The Pretashkent Aquifer is a crucial transboundary groundwater resource for the Republics of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Both countries rely on the aquifer as a primary...

Empirical Characterization and Data-Driven Optimization of Water-Energy Systems

Creator:: Elhashimi, Mohammed A.
Abstract:: The accelerated development in water-energy systems calls for advanced modeling and optimization tools to improve technologies’ performance. Water desalination is a manifestation of water-energy system that is challenged by different operational constraints. The scarcity and uneven distribution of freshwater around the world makes water desalination an indispensable process to address...

Assessing Managed Aquifer Recharge Potential: Regional to Local Evaluation

Creator:: Gibson, Maria
Abstract:: Although surface water constitutes less than 1.5% of freshwater supply, historical development of surface water sources continues to mark the landscape. However, over- exploitation of groundwater is now at its highest, and 25% of the world’s 1.7 billion population live in water scare regions. As glaciers and snowpack disappear due...

Climate change adaptations of Vietnamese robusta coffee (Coffea canephora) farmers : analysis of potential strategies

Creator:: Ellison, Kevin
Abstract:: Vietnam is considered one of the most climate change-vulnerable countries due to its high dependence on agriculture and its coastal location. Increased atmospheric temperatures caused by climate change also significantly threaten one of Vietnam's most important cash crops, robusta coffee (Coffea canephora). Suitable cultivation sites of robusta, which comprises 97%...

Historical forest succession and disturbance dynamics in Coastal Douglas-fir forests in the southern western Cascades of Oregon

Creator:: Merschel, Andrew G.
Abstract:: Coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var menziesii) forests are extensive west of the crest of the Cascade Mountains in Oregon and Washington and are renowned for their productivity, biodiversity, and the ecosystem services they provide. Increasing wildfire activity in recent years including the extensive 2020 Labor Day fires, and a warming...

It Depends: Defining Cooperation and Evaluating Effectiveness in Transboundary Waters

Creator:: McCracken, Melissa J.
Abstract:: With the increasing international focus on transboundary cooperation as a part of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Framework, there is global recognition of transboundary water cooperation as a tool for improved governance and management of transboundary surface and groundwaters. Yet, there is not an agreed upon definition of transboundary water...
