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...

Household Determinants and the Resource Consumption: A Case Study of Baghmara Community Forestry in Nepal

Creator:: Timilsina, Dinesh
Abstract:: This study examines the association of household characteristics with forest product consumption and other benefits derived from community forest in Nepal. The analysis is based on random sample data of 80 households from a Community Forest User Groups of Baghmara Community Forestry (BCF) in Nepal. Using an OLS regression to...

An Exploration of Modeling Concepts for Coupled Flow and Energy Systems with Applications to Geyser Modeling

Creator:: Gonzalez, Diana
Abstract:: In this project we study multiple approaches to modeling coupled flow and energy systems, with applications to geothermal fluid flow in geysers. We explore a model from a geophysical point of view, and discuss analysis of a related model. We then focus on our own model which features a free-boundary...

Road surface runoff for the Oak Creek watershed: the influence of hillslope and road characteristics

Creator:: Ellingson, Kami S.
Abstract:: Understanding how forest roads interact with hillslope hydrology by intercepting and/or rerouting storm runoff will better enable land managers to reduce erosion related to forest roads. Watershed scale knowledge of how culvert runoff response varies across the landscape would provide valuable information to those individuals designing and maintaining forest road...

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,...

Integrating Climate Change Adaptation into the Management of Alaska’s Kenai River Watershed

Creator:: Reilly, Melissa S.
Abstract:: The impacts of climate change are being observed worldwide. However, some regions and context specific situations make particular areas more vulnerable to the impacts than others. Alaska’s Kenai River Watershed (KRW) is on the front lines of climate change and may be especially vulnerable to the impacts due to distinct...

Understanding policy change in hydropower development by using MSA: A case study of the Nu River Project, China

Creator:: Zhong, Huaxia
Abstract:: In 2003, due to the dramatic growth of economy, China’s National Development and Reform Commission proposed to build 13 dams on the Nu River to fulfill the nation’s rapidly growing demand for hydropower. The 13 dams that comprise the Nu River Project (NRP) are considered among the biggest hydropower development...

The Influence of Environmental Value Orientation and Climate Change Beliefs on the Firewise Behaviors of Central Oregon Residents

Creator:: Weston, Daniel L.
Abstract:: Over the past two decades, the western United States has experienced many of the costliest and most severe wildfires in history. To mitigate the effects of the growing threats posed by wildfires, residents in at-risk communities are encouraged to protect their homes and property by adopting Firewise recommendations. This article...

Science, Policymaking and the Politics of Climate Change in the U.S. and the E.U.: The co-production of consensus and controversy

Creator:: Martins Marcos, Patricia
Abstract:: Climate change policies present multiple quandaries to the field of public policy and science studies. Despite the prevalent scientific consensus, approaches demonstrate great heterogeneity. With one side advocating for the facticity of climate change and a pro-active stance, while the other argues about negative economic trade-offs, viewpoints diverge. Between controversy...

Lava Flow Lobation and Margin Analysis

Creator:: Peckyno, Robert S.
Abstract:: Comparative investigations based on volcanic morphology suffer from the lack of a large terrestrial baseline for comparison. To fill this gap, the Lava Flow Morphology Database (LAMDA) was proposed as a GIS based central clearinghouse for remote and field investigations of volcanic morphology. This study presents an analysis of LAMDA’S...
