Bioeconomic Simulation Modeling of Fisheries : Three Essays

Creator:

Cusack, Christopher Inju

Abstract:

Researchers rely on bioeconomic models to guide research and generate fishery management advice for commercial fisheries. Due partly to a paradigm shift towards ecosystem based fishery management, increasing complexity in the characteristics of the problems has meant that bioeconomic simulation models are becoming more prevalent in the fisheries literature. However...

A Climate of Risk: Modeled Vegetation, Carbon, Fire, and Biomass Loss Risk in Western Oregon and Washington under Climate Change

Creator:

Sheehan, Timothy J.

Abstract:

Managing wildlands to protect species and ecosystem services in response to climate change is challenging. To develop effective long-term strategies, natural resource managers need to account for the projected effects of climate change as well as the uncertainty inherent in those projections. Vegetation models are one important source of projected...

Characterizing an Annual Grass Invasion and Its Link to Environmental and Disturbance Factors Using Remote Sensing: New Tools and Applications

Creator:

Nietupski, Ty C.

Abstract:

The spread of nonnative species across the globe has contributed to biodiversity loss and changes in ecosystem structure and function. Monitoring the introduction, naturalization, and spread of introduced species is critical in abating negative impacts wrought by species invasions. However, providing basic information concerning the presence or spread of many...
