Ecological Consequences of Marine Debris: Understanding Large-Scale Species Transport on Tsunami Debris and Research Priorities in Oregon

Creator:: Gillman, Reva A.
Abstract:: The release of marine debris into the oceans and seas is a global issue of growing concern. These materials are harmful to marine environments and can also transport non-native species to novel habitats. Non-native species floating on marine litter is one of the lesser known impacts associated with marine debris....

Trophically transmitted parasites as ecosystem indicators : relationships among parasite community structure, juvenile salmon diet composition, and ocean conditions

Creator:: Losee, James P.
Abstract:: Recent research conducted throughout the Northern California Current (NCC) on the ecology of Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) indicates that variable ocean conditions affect the community composition of zooplankton in the nearshore environment which, in turn, can affect the quality of prey for fish, sea birds and mammals. Interannual variability in...

Exploring the Relationship Between 𝛿13Ccarb Signal Preservation and Algorithmic Chemostratigraphic Alignment Accuracy

Creator:: Reynolds, Paige J.
Abstract:: Changes in the stable carbon isotope composition of carbonate rocks (𝛿13Ccarb) are used to establish the relative temporal framework for geological events, such as evolutionary extinction or radiation, between two or more locations. As every local stratigraphic record is intermittent, aligning 𝛿13Ccarb records from two or more locations, a process...

The Influence of Glacial Isostatic Adjustment on Marine Stratigraphic Correlation

Creator:: King, Meghan E.
Abstract:: Glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) alters the amplitude and timing of ‘glacioeustatic’ sea level maxima and minima around the globe. No study has examined the intrinsic distance that one can correlate marine stratigraphic records of glacial–interglacial sedimentation across continental shelves subject to varying amounts of GIA. Here, we seek to model...

A comparison of early marine residence in hatchery and natural Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)

Creator:: Claiborne, Andrew M.
Abstract:: The mechanisms of mortality during critical life stages of fish are not well-understood and, for many species, it is not clear if the mechanisms are similar for naturally and artificially propagated individuals. For Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), natural fish potentially face negative interactions, such as competition, and survival disadvantages, such...

Re‐establishment of the native oyster, Ostrea conchaphila, in Netarts Bay, Oregon, USA

Creator:: Archer, Pamela Emily
Abstract:: Olympia oysters, “Ostrea conchaphila,” were once common along the west coast of North America. A popular delicacy, native oyster populations began to decline in the late 1800’s due to over‐harvest, degraded water quality, and habitat loss. Interest in re‐establishing the native oyster in a small Oregon estuary, Netarts Bay, culminated...

The Impact of Internet and Videogame Use on College Student Development

Creator:: Calhoun, Benjamin W.
Abstract:: In recent decades, there has been a tremendous change in the college student experience. In many ways this change has been driven by developments in technology, which have in turn changed the way students conduct research, socialize, and recreate. This thesis seeks to gain an understanding as to how Internet...

Mentoring student leaders of color

Creator:: White, Leann E.
Abstract:: Involvement in student leadership provides opportunities for student development (Foubert and Grainger, 2006) and is linked with higher rates of persistence (Astin, 1984), making leadership programs an important tool for increasing the retention and success of students of color. Unfortunately, traditional leadership paradigms often used in student leadership programs are...

College students' multiracial identity perceptions and experiences of programs and associations

Creator:: Plaza, Lauren S.
Abstract:: This thesis examined the identity transitions that occurred prior to enrollment at a predominantly, White, large, public research university and after completing at least one year of college for students who identify as multiracial. As a secondary purpose, this thesis also examined whether these students sought support through groups that...

A qualitative study of the determinants of resistance to homosexuality in heterosexual identified students

Creator:: McGraw, Cathlene E.
Abstract:: Two decades of literature from national college student climate reports measuring student attitudes toward people who are lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgender (LGBT) indicate, “anti-GLBT intolerance and harassment has been prevalent” (Rankin, 2003). This study seeks to explore the determinants of such attitudes and explore the life contexts of students’...
