Multiple objective planning procedures in water resource development : the trade-off ratio

Creator:: Lynne, Gary D.
Abstract:: The social and economic objectives of society in the United States are many and varied. All objectives, in turn, cannot be achieved simultaneously because of a finite resource base. The problem of finding an optimum, in some sense, level of achievement for the various objectives is complicated by lack of...

Simulator-Defined MDP Planning with Applications in Natural Resource Management

Creator:: Alkaee Taleghan, Majid
Abstract:: This work is inspired by problems in natural resource management centered on the challenge of invasive species. Computing optimal management policies for maintaining ecosystem sustainable is challenging. Many ecosystem management problems can be formulated as MDP (Markov Decision Process) planning problems. In a simulator-defined MDP, the Markovian dynamics and rewards...

Enterprise system implementation projects : a study of the impact of contextual factors on critical success factors

Creator:: Van Scoter, Diane J.
Abstract:: Critical success factors (CSFs) are those things that must be done correctly for a project to be successful; however, CSFs are not sufficient by themselves to guarantee success. CSFs, as identified in the literature, vary from study to study. In addition, previous studies have not typically included contextual details for...

Oregon's integrated water resource planning : public knowledge, risk perception, and civil society

Creator:: Hubbard, Monica L.
Abstract:: The overall purpose of this research is to assess the Oregon public's capacity to address water resources disturbances through civil society. According to scientists and resource managers, Oregon's water resources are over taxed and at risk, with future projections placing additional stress from climate change and population growth. Oregon's 2009...

Perceptions of international students in a community college-based coordinated studies program

Creator:: Insley, Andrea E.
Abstract:: This study presented an in-depth exploration of international student perceptions of a coordinated studies program (CSP) at Seattle Central Community College. In conducting this research project, a phenomenological research methodology was used. Qualitative data were collected through participant observations, focus group, document review and individual in-depth interviews with nine students....

Economic efficiency and distributive consequences of interbasin water transfers : a framework for analysis

Creator:: Beattie, Bruce R.
Abstract:: If informed and rational judgments are to be made concerning proposed large scale interbasin water diversions, it is imperative that competent positive analysis be undertaken by scientists of relevant disciplines. It is the primary purpose of this thesis to pull together into a single interrelated package, the economic theory needed...

Advancing marine reserve science : from field experiments to marine conservation planning tools

Creator:: Leslie, Heather M.
Abstract:: This dissertation focuses on science relevant to the design and implementation of marine reserves. The chapters explore a range of topics related to among-site variation in population, community, and ecosystem dynamics. My results demonstrate the value and feasibility of integrating this knowledge into more comprehensive conservation and management approaches. While...

Implementation of regional plans in the Pacific Northwest : an analysis of the Northwest Power Planning Council's water budget and model conservation standards 1984-1993

Creator:: Mullens, Jo Beth, 1964-
Abstract:: An innovative regional planning institution, the Northwest Power Planning Council, was created to plan for two conflicting water-related resources, fish and wildlife and electrical power. The Council is responsible for regional planning but implementation of those plans is largely the responsibility of four federal agencies and four state governments. As...

Development and application of climate risk assessment methods for flood management systems – a study of flexibility, adaptive capacity, and robustness

Creator:: DiFrancesco, Kara N.
Abstract:: Discussions around adapting water management systems to climate change often express the need to increase the flexibility and adaptive capacity of current systems, and to implement robust strategies going forth. While these topics lie at the center of many climate change discussions, transforming adaptation recommendations into tangible tools and information...

Applications of Soil Science in Forest Landscape Planning : Challenges and Opportunities in the 21st Century

Creator:: Craigg, Terry Lee
Abstract:: Soils and other resource programs in both public land management agencies and private industry are continually being adapted to the challenges of evolving knowledge and experience in the field of forestry. This dissertation explores new ways of thinking about and using soils information in forest planning and management, with a...
