A Multivariate Analysis of Pacific Arctic Surface Waters

Creator:: Bryant, Aleesa
Abstract:: The Pacific Arctic is undergoing rapid biogeochemical changes in response to warming air temperatures caused by climate forcing. This is manifesting as changes in seasonal sea ice thickness and sea ice extent, as well as changes in primary production within surface waters. The data and samples analyzed here were collected...

Bullying Victimization and Substance Use among Adolescents: Using Strain Theory to Examine Patterns across Gender, Race, and Mental Health Status

Creator:: Beck, Kendra G.
Abstract:: A growing body of research has connected bullying victimization to a number of risk factors in adolescents, including substance use. The current study utilizes Agnew’s revised strain theory as a theoretical framework to examine this relationship, as well as patterns of substance use across gender, race, and mental health status....

An analysis of tree maintenance responsibility in California municipalities – do tree ordinances help or hinder urban tree canopy distribution?

Creator:: Franco, Yael
Abstract:: As urban populations increase, the presence of well-maintained trees provide a cost-effective solution to combat the effects of climate change, specifically the urban heat island effect. Unfortunately, the associated ecological, social and economic benefits of trees are not distributed equitably in the landscape due to lingering effects of redlining policies....

Soot Modeling: GPU Accelerated Direct Simulation Monte Carlo

Creator:: Lorson, Paige
Abstract:: For this project, we designed a soot modeling software to produce a full particle density function. This model uses the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo with a full conditioning particle selection method to capture soot nucleation and coagulation in a diffusion flame. We investigate the use of graphic processing units as...

Making Electric Vehicles Accessible: A Program Evaluation of California's Clean Vehicle Assistance Program

Creator:: Diaz, Alexa R.
Abstract:: Transportation contributes approximately 41 percent of California’s greenhouse gas emissions and 27 percent of national greenhouse gas emissions (CARB, 2019, EPA, 2017). In response to climate change concerns, stakeholders have encouraged the use of electric and hybrid vehicles through tax credits, rebates, and education campaigns. Environmental and transportation justice groups...
