  • Diving into Diversity: Fish Populations and Climate Resilience in an Endorheic Basin

    Creator:
    Dew, Aleah
    Abstract:
    The Goose Lake Basin, situated on the border of Oregon and California, USA, faces significant challenges from drought, wildfire, and other environmental stressors. This region hosts numerous endemic fish species such as the Goose Lake redband trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss newberri), Goose Lake lamprey (Entosphenus sp.), Goose Lake tui chub (Siphateles...

  • Lamprey of the Goose Lake Basin: A Multi-Scale Habitat & Distribution Analysis

    Creator:
    Dickey, Jacob C.
    Abstract:
    Two ecologically important lamprey species found in the endorheic Goose Lake Basin face conservation threats; however, relatively little is known about their habitat needs or spatial distribution. Lamprey and their habitat are often found to be patchy; to evaluate these relationships for the lamprey in this basin, I utilized a...

  • Spatiotemporal Variability in Benthic-Pelagic Coupling on the Oregon-Washington Shelf: An Investigation of Bottom Water and Benthic Flux Data

    Creator:
    Hughes, Anna R.
    Abstract:
    Continental shelf sediments are sinks for dissolved oxygen and sources of many major and minor nutrients required for oceanic surface primary production, resulting in a strong coupling between benthic and pelagic biogeochemical cycling. However, the influence and spatiotemporal variability of benthic remineralization on bottom-water chemistry and the supply of nutrients...

  • Weighing the Benefits of Returning Fire to the Landscape: Strategic Fire Management Workloads

    Creator:
    Goodwin, Ian
    Abstract:
    The accumulation of fuels in fire prone landscapes, and changing climatic conditions, have resulted in increasingly volatile fire behaviors. As a result, social and operational risk, management expenditures, and budgetary requirements for responsible agencies are increasing. The United States Forest Service (USFS) manages 193 million acres across the United States...

  • Seeing the Ocean For the Whales: How Whales Get Lost in the Sea of Human Perceptions

    Creator:
    McKinnon, Haley
    Abstract:
    Humans have always been fascinated with whales; from prominent features in mythology, to stories of terrifying monsters on the high seas, to globalized utility, to symbolic wildness and radical environmentalism, to figures and statistics, how have human relationships with whales been understood throughout time? Because humans have a need to...

  • Modeling of Wave Energy Converter via Instantaneous Frequency

    Creator:
    Kim, Inyong
    Abstract:
    A multidisciplinary perspective is necessitated for the analysis of wave energy conversion systems, spanning hydrodynamics, mechanics, electric power, and control systems. The complexity inherent in these scientific domains poses challenges for unified analysis. This paper addresses these challenges by connecting various domains through the application of circuit theory, characterizing the...

  • Red tree voles in fragmented forests

    Creator:
    Piasecki, Jason T.
    Abstract:
    The red tree vole (Arborimus longicaudus) is an arboreal Arvicoline rodent endemic to conifer dominated forests of western Oregon and northwestern California. While commonly associated with old forests, often inhabiting stands over 80 years old, tree voles have also been found in young forests between 20 and 80 years old....

  • Beyond Pronouns: Unraveling the Impact of Misgendering on Wellbeing

    Creator:
    Grapentine, Jor
    Abstract:
    This study investigated the prevalence of misgendering and its impact on stigma and mental health outcomes in college students. Two hundred and eighty-five students participated in a comprehensive survey, providing insights into the frequency of misgendering they experienced, the level of stigma they felt in response, as well as their...

  • Effects of Stage 0 treatment on spring Chinook juveniles within South Fork McKenzie River in Oregon

    Creator:
    Hahn, Aleah
    Abstract:
    Low-tech habitat restoration techniques, including Stage 0 treatments, are increasingly applied but often lack robust evaluation of their effects. In 2018, one kilometer of the South Fork McKenzie (SFMK) River, OR was modified to the Stage 0 condition for the benefit of ESA-listed Chinook by raising the incised channel to...

  • Semidiurnal Atmospheric Tide Driven Superinertial Oscillation on the Texas-Louisiana Shelf

    Creator:
    Hsu, Fucent Hsuan Wei
    Abstract:
    Basin-scale superinertial oceanic tides have been observed globally to resonate with the continental shelf (e.g., the Patagonian Shelf) with a clear theoretical framework. However, the response of the shelf to atmospheric tides – another basin-scale forcing – has not been discussed. This study explores this response using a prominent S2...
