Submarine earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and ambient noise in the Northeast Pacific

Creator:: Haxel, Joseph H.
Abstract:: Passive hydrophone technologies and a variety of acoustic methods are applied in the deep-ocean and shallow water coastal environments of the northeast Pacific. A catalog derived from U.S. Navy regional hydrophone array recordings of acoustic T- phases from seafloor earthquakes is examined, describing space/time patterns through empirical orthogonal function analysis...

Party System Institutionalization and Accountability for Corruption in Latin America: The Cases of Brazil and Chile

Creator:: Pinilla, Juan P.
Abstract:: In the wake of the ``third wave'' of democratization, scholars and practitioners were optimistic regarding the ease with which countries could adopt democratic norms and institutions. However, after four decades of democracy, many competitive regimes have not improved government probity or developed strong forms of accountability. Levels of economic and...

Rocks and reactors : an atomic interpretation of human rights, 1941-1979

Creator:: Richards, Linda Marie
Abstract:: The atomic age was enacted by many scientists as a way to realize health and human rights. Human rights were conceived in this context as rights to economic development, science education, and nuclear medicine. The United States Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) acted hand in hand with UN agencies and educators...

Paleomagnetism and secular variation of Easter Island basalts

Creator:: Isaacson, Laurie Brown
Abstract:: The paleomagnetic history of the volcanic rocks of Easter Island was investigated using standard paleomagnetic techniques. The remanent magnetization of 673 specimens from the three volcanic episodes recognized on the island were measured using a spinner magnetometer. Inclinations, declinations and virtual geomagnetic poles were calculated for each flow. The majority...

Plate boundary deformation of the Pacific plate : two case studies

Creator:: Leitner, Beate
Abstract:: Two examples of Pacific rim plate boundary deformation are presented. In the first part of the thesis crustal models are derived for the northwestern part of the Vizcaino block in California using marine seismic and gravity data collected by the Mendocino Triple Junction Seismic Experiment. A northwest-southeast trending kink in...

Drivers of Kelp Forest Responses to Global Change: From Populations to Policies

Creator:: Hamilton, Sara L.
Abstract:: Kelps are large brown algae in the order Laminariales and are foundation species that form the basis of kelp forests. Present across a quarter of the world’s coastlines, kelp forests provide diverse services to coastal communities, as habitat for commercially and culturally important species, as a food source for humans...

New Insights into Mantle Dynamics from Helium Isotopes and Argon Geochronology

Creator:: Konrad, Kevin
Abstract:: Earth’s mantle extends to nearly 3000 km depth, comprises >80 % of Earth’s total volume, and has the largest influence on the primordial and radiogenic heat budget. Despite its importance, the structure and composition of the mantle is still debated. There are three primary models for Earth’s mantle structure that...

The great fires : Indian burning and catastrophic forest fire patterns of the Oregon Coast Range, 1491-1951

Creator:: Zybach, Bob
Abstract:: The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between land management practices of Indian communities prior to contact with Europeans and the nature or character of subsequent catastrophic forest fires in the Oregon Coast Range. The research focus is spatial and temporal patterns of Indian burning across the...

Conformational Consequences: Calcium Regulates the Association Between Dysferlin C2A & PI(4,5)P2

Creator:: Otto, Shauna C.
Abstract:: Dysferlin is a ∼230 kDa terminally anchored membrane protein that is ubiquitously expressed, but is particularly enriched in skeletal and cardiac muscle tissue. Mutations covering the length of the protein have been linked to muscle wasting diseases including limb-girdle muscular dystrophy and Myoshi myopathy. Dysferlin has been shown to play...

A comparative analysis of morphological, physiological, and biochemical adaptation to abiotic stress in intertidal porcelain crabs, genus Petrolisthes

Creator:: Stillman, Jonathon Harris
Abstract:: Organismal tolerance to abiotic environmental stresses contributes significantly to setting the distribution limits of organisms, as demonstrated by vertical zonation patterns in the marine intertidal zone. In this thesis, the ultimate (evolutionary) and proximate (mechanistic) causes of tolerance to temperature and emersion stresses associated with the intertidal zone were examined...
