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...

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...

Local Climate Zone Classification Using Random Forests

Creator:: Smith, Ericka B.
Abstract:: Objective: The goal of this project is to recreate aspects of the article “Comparison between convolutional neural networks and random forest for local climate zone classification in mega urban areas using Landsat images” (Yoo et al., 2019), where methods for predicting LCZ classes for four large cities throughout the world...

Establishing suitability of an ocean model for a poleward undercurrent study

Creator:: Duran, Rodrigo
Abstract:: Modifications of an ocean model are described, as the objective for which the model was used changed to study the kinematics and dynamics of an eastern-boundary poleward undercurrent.

Fish out of Water: Virgin Spinedace (Lepidomeda mollispinis) in the Santa Clara River, Utah

Creator:: Siefken, Sarah N.
Abstract:: River ecosystems throughout the arid southwestern U.S. are imperiled. Water management infrastructure, climate change, unsustainable water use, and political conflict harm the region's aquatic and riparian ecosystems. This case study surveys one such desert river, an endemic fish species, and conservation efforts in southwestern Utah. The analysis focuses on the...

An Assessment of Home Gardening Activity in Houston, Texas: Motivations, Barriers, and Methods for Increasing Participation

Creator:: Reid, Caroline O'Hara
Resource Type:: Capstone Project

Vegetation Community Data to Inform Climate-Adaptation Management; Gardiner, New York

Creator:: Randazzo, Andrew
Abstract:: Climate change represents an increasing threat to northeastern temperate forests. Nearly all forest communities have been affected by climate change and require climate-adaptation management (Jandl et al. 2018). Climate-adaptation management (CAM) promotes the viability of forested systems and the ecosystem services they provide under current and future climatic conditions (Bolte...

Eugene Residents Risk Perceptions of Water Scarcity

Creator:: Leitermann, Lily
Abstract:: Potential water scarcity and drought conditions are predicted in and around Eugene, Oregon due to decreased snowpack and subsequent decreased snowmelt in the Western Cascade Mountains. This phenomenon was triggered by a long-term trend of warmer winters scientifically linked to global climate change patterns (Dalton et al. 2013). Numerous stakeholders,...

Predicting the most likely state for a basic geophysical flow : theoretical framework

Creator:: Duran, Rodrigo
Abstract:: Statistical mechanics studies the probability that a system is in a certain state given one or more constraints which are usually fixed conserved quantities. It is a particularly useful and powerful approach for problems with a large number of degrees of freedom where a complete knowledge of the system is...

Place-based metrics guiding southwest urban forestry design

Creator:: Beshur, Athena D.
Abstract:: Through well designed tree placement, redundant use of simple technologies, and stewardship, trees grow. Over time, they mitigate stormwater flooding and enhance livability. This paper offers insights into precipitation patterns, and how small scale redundancy can help build the urban tree canopy. It is specifically geared toward issues in the...
