  • Spatial and Temporal Dynamics of Broad-scale Predictive Models : Influences of Scale

    Creator:
    Hooper, Samuel
    Abstract:
    Developing accurate predictive distribution models requires adequately representing relevant spatial and temporal scales, as these scales are ultimately reflective of the relationships between distributions and influential environmental conditions. In this research, we considered both spatial and temporal scale and the influence each has on predicting broad-scale distributions of two disparate...

  • Correlation between structural heterogeneity and arthropod biodiversity : implications for management of Pacific Northwest forests

    Creator:
    Madson, Stephanie Lee
    Abstract:
    The "old-growth controversy" in the Pacific Northwest recognized thinning as the primary silvicultural practice for land managers to produce wildlife habitat while continuing to produce timber. For the foreseeable future, forest stands will be harvested to produce forest gaps and a patchwork of trees of different ages. In order to...

  • Eastward Routing of Glacial Lake Agassiz Runoff caused the Younger Dryas Cold Event

    Creator:
    Leydet, David J.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this thesis is to analyze an abrupt case of climate change in the past as a means to understand the mechanisms that force climate change. By looking to past analogs of climate change, we hopefully will gain an understanding of these events, which could be used to...

  • A petrogenetic model for the Caribbean large igneous province

    Creator:
    Krawl, Kyle A.
    Abstract:
    The Caribbean Plateau is an oceanic large igneous province (CLIP). A widely accepted model for LIP petrogenesis proposes that these large bodies of igneous rock are formed by decompression melting associated with upwelling mantle plume heads during the initiation of hotspot activity. According to this classical model, petrogenesis occurs over...

  • Agricultural impacts on amphibian survival, growth, and distributions

    Creator:
    Baker, Nick J.
    Abstract:
    The potential impact of chemical contaminants and conservation practices on amphibians in agricultural landscapes is a key research topic globally. Amphibians represent a common group in many freshwater systems and are currently experiencing worldwide population declines. Global amphibian declines may be attributed to a number of causes, including habitat loss,...

  • Role of the Sisters Fault Zone in the Separation of Siletzia from the Cascadia Backarc

    Creator:
    Mark-Moser, MacKenzie
    Abstract:
    Oblique subduction of the Juan de Fuca plate beneath the North American plate characterizes the tectonic setting of the Pacific Northwest. North American plate deformation at the latitude of central Oregon consists of the clockwise-rotation of the Siletzia block in the forearc and the extensional Basin and Range province in...

  • Evolution and inheritance of Cascadia sub-arc mantle reservoirs

    Creator:
    Bromley, Sarah Ashley
    Abstract:
    Inheritance from pre-existing mantle domains and fluid and melt contributions from active subduction together produce the geochemical signatures of mantle-derived arc basalts. In this context, this work evaluates the evolution of Cascadia mantle sources by documenting the isotopic and compositional characteristics of primitive basalts along a transect across the Eocene-Oligocene...

  • Snow Peak, OR: late Miocene to early Pliocene volcanism in the central Cascadia forearc

    Creator:
    Hatfield, Ashley K.
    Abstract:
    Snow Peak is a voluminous shield volcano located ~50 km west of the axis of the modern Cascade arc. A previously published K-Ar age estimate indicates that the Snow Peak lavas are ~3 Ma. Subsequently, the preliminary research framework for studying the Snow Peak lavas focused on constraining the petrogenesis...

  • Habitat use and densities of cavity-nesting birds in the Oregon Coast Range

    Creator:
    Nelson, S. Kim
    Abstract:
    I studied abundance patterns and habitat use of eight cavitynesting bird species in the Coast Ranges of Western Oregon during the spring and summer of 1985 and 1986. Three age classes of unmanaged Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) stands were selected for study: young (40-80 yrs), mature (80-200 yrs), and old-growth (>200...
