Climate and streamflow trends in the Columbia River basin: evidence for ecological and engineering resilience to climate change

Creator:: Hatcher, Kendra L. and Jones, Julia A.
Abstract:: Large river basins integrate the signal of water from atmospheres to oceans. Climate change is widely expected to alter streamflow and potentially disrupt water management systems. We tested the ecological resilience -- capacity of headwater ecosystems to sustain streamflow under climate change – and the engineering resilience – capacity of...

Spring temperature responses of oaks are synchronous with North Atlantic conditions during the last deglaciation

Creator:: Voelker, Steven L., Noirot-Cosson, Paul-Emile, Stambaugh, Michael C., McMurry, Erin R., Meinzer, Frederick C., Lachenbruch, Barbara, and Guyette, Richard P.
Abstract:: Paleoclimate proxies based on the measurement of xylem cell anatomy have rarely been developed across the temperature range of a species or applied to wood predating the most recent millennium. Here we describe wood anatomy-based proxies for spring temperatures in central North America from modern bur oaks (Quercus macrocarpa Michx.)....

Interactive visual analysis promotes exploration of long-term ecological data

Creator:: Pham, Tuan, Jones, Julia A., Metoyer, Ronald, Swanson, Frederick, and Pabst, Robert
Abstract:: Long-term ecological data are crucial in helping ecologists understand ecosystem function and environmental change. Nevertheless, these kinds of data sets are difficult to analyze because they are usually large, multivariate, and spatiotemporal. Although existing analysis tools such as statistical methods and spreadsheet software permit rigorous tests of pre-conceived hypotheses and...

Going with the flow or against the grain? The promise of vegetation for protecting beaches, dunes, and barrier islands from erosion

Creator:: Feagin, Rusty A., Figlus, Jens, Zinnert, Julie C., Sigren, Jake, Martínez, Marisa L., Silva, Rodolfo, Smith, William K., Cox, Daniel, Young, Donald R., and Carter, Gregory
Abstract:: Coastlines have traditionally been engineered to maintain structural stability and to protect property from storm-related damage, but their ability to endure will be challenged over the next century. The use of vegetation to reduce erosion on ocean-facing mainland and barrier island shorelines – including the sand dunes and beaches on...

River restoration practitioner survey on engineering design for climate change

Creator:: Tullos, Desiree
Abstract:: An online survey of river restoration practitioners, engineers, and researchers was conducted to examine current practices and perspectives on how climate change is integrated into engineering designs for river restoration. Seventy-six responses were submitted to the survey. While the responses came from a wide range of demographies, respondents were most...

Economic feasibility and environmental life cycle assessment of ethanol production from lignocellulosic feedstock in Pacific Northwest U.S.

Creator:: Juneja, Ankita, Kumar, Deepak, and Murthy, Ganti S.
Abstract:: Bioethanol produced from the lignocellulosic feedstock is a potential alternative to fossil fuels in transportation sector and can help in reducing environmental burdens. Straw produced from perennial ryegrass (PR) and wheat is a non-food, cellulosic biomass resource available in abundance in the Pacific Northwest U.S. The aim of this study...

Effects of vegetation canopy density and bank angle on near-bank patterns of turbulence and Reynolds stresses

Creator:: Czarnomski, Nicole M., Tullos, Desiree D., Thomas, Robert E., and Simon, Andrew
Abstract:: Vegetation growing on the surface of a streambank has been shown to alter the shear stresses applied to the boundary, but basic questions remain regarding the influence of vegetation and streambank configurations on near-bank hydraulics. In the present study, Froude-scaled flume experiments were used to investigate how changes in vegetation...

Biophysical, Socioeconomic, and Geopolitical Vulnerabilities to Hydropower Development on the Nu River, China

Creator:: Tullos, Desiree D., Foster-Moore, Eric, Magee, Darrin, Tilt, Bryan, Wolf, Aaron T., Schmitt, Edwin, Gassert, Francis, and Kibler, Kelly
Abstract:: Rapid hydropower development is occurring in China's Yunnan province in response to increasing clean energy demands, exposing potential vulnerabilities of the area's ecosystems, communities, and geopolitical systems. Here, we present original data on the cultures, economics, hydro-politics, and environments of the Nu River basin, based on household surveys, analysis of...

A Tale of Two Spills: Novel Science and Policy Implications of an Emerging New Oil Spill Model

Creator:: Peterson, Charles H., Anderson, Sean S., Cherr, Gary N., Ambrose, Richard F., Anghera, Shelly, Bay, Steven, Blum, Michael, Condon, Robert, Dean, Thomas A., Graham, Monty, Guzy, Michael, Hampton, Stephanie, Joye, Samantha, Lambrinos, John, Mate, Bruce, Meffert, Douglas, Powers, Sean P., Somasundaran, Ponisseril, Spies, Robert B., Taylor, Caz M., Tjeerdema, Ronald, and Adams, E. Eric
Abstract:: The 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil release posed the challenges of two types of spill: a familiar spill characterized by buoyant oil, fouling and killing organisms at the sea surface and eventually grounding on and damaging sensitive shoreline habitats, and a novel deepwater spill involving many unknowns. The subsurface retention of...
