The inherent optical properties of the oceans: from closure to prediction

Creator:: Barnard, Andrew Heath
Abstract:: Precise in situ measurement of the spectral absorption and scattering coefficients in several regions has revealed patterns in the distribution of the inherent optical properties on spatial scales that were previously unobtainable. The precision of the measurements was found to be consistent and unbiased across a variety of oceanic regimes...

Inter-relationships of vegetation, hydrology and micro-climate in a young, Douglas-fir forest

Creator:: Barnard, Holly Rene
Abstract:: The links between forests, streamflow, and climate are poorly understood. Despite hundreds of studies over the past 60 years, fundamental questions of forests' effects on the hydrologic cycle remain unanswered. The hydrological cycle involves mutually-dependent biological and physical processes that operate at multiple scales of time and space, and this...

A factor analysis of professional education competencies and community college instructors of trade and industrial education

Creator:: Gunderson, Orley Donald, 1940-
Abstract:: Purposes of the Study The study had several purposes, the major one being to determine the common professional education competencies needed by community college instructors of trade and industrial education. Two other purposes of the study were to determine if differences existed among community colleges according to scores trade and...

Sediments and tectonics of the Gorda-Juan de Fuca plate

Creator:: Phipps, James B.
Abstract:: Cores taken from the ridge areas of the Gorda-Juan de Fuca plate have a sedimentation rate that is appropriate for the study of late Quaternary stratigraphy. An analysis of the clay and silt mineralogy of the cores using X-ray diffraction methods and by noting changes in the foraminiferan-radiolarian abundances in...

Essays on the economics of land use regulation

Creator:: Lai, Jiayin
Abstract:: This dissertation consists of three papers on land use economics and regulation. The first paper reviews numerous past literatures on how land-use regulation, agricultural subsidies, and use-value assessment method affect land values. The second paper uses a theoretical model to analyze how imposing minimum-lot-size zoning and different designs of minimum-lot-size...

Sources, dispersal, and contributions of fine-grained terrigenous sediments on the Oregon and Washington continental slope

Creator:: Krissek, Lawrence A.
Abstract:: Holocene hemipelagic deposition of terrigenous silts and clays dominates sedimentation on most of the Oregon and Washington continental slope. The sources of these sediments, the mechanisms causing sediment dispersal, and the relative contributions of the various continental sources to the marine deposits have been investigated using quantitative mineral and geochemical...

Two zoogeographic studies of deep sea benthic gammarid amphipods

Creator:: Dickinson, John J. (John Joseph), 1946-
Abstract:: Two separate studies on the distribution of gammarid amphipods in the bathyal and abyssal benthic environments demonstrated that different assemblages could be found at a single depth over distances on the order of 100 kilometers. These studies evaluated changes in the species composition and relative abundance of the amphipod assemblage...

Analysis of the benthic Cumacea and Gammaridean Amphipoda from the western Beaufort Sea

Creator:: Castillo Alarcon, Jorge Gonzalo
Abstract:: A multidisciplinary western Beaufort Sea Ecological Cruise (WEBSEC) was conducted from August 15 to September 20, 1971. During the cruise, one hundred ninety-nine 0.1 m² Smith-McIntyre grabs samples were taken at forty stations located on the continental shelf and slope of the western Beaufort Sea. The Gammaridean Amphipoda and Cumacea...

Ecological aspects of kin discriminating behavior with implications of functional value

Creator:: Hokit, D. Grant
Abstract:: To assess the context dependence of kin discriminating behavior, I examined kin-biased aggregation behavior in tadpoles of R. cascadae in different ecological conditions. I manipulated food distribution, predator presence, thermal heterogeneity, and relatedness in a multifactorial mesocosm experiment. All four factors interacted to influence tadpole dispersion. My results suggest that...
