Power System Resilience Following a Cascadia Subduction Zone Earthquake

Creator:: Weinmann, Riley
Abstract:: Just off the coast of the Pacific Northwest lies the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ); odds of a very large CSZ earthquake occurring in the next 50 years is estimated to be about 37%. A CSZ seismic event has the potential to cause wide scale damage not just to the power...

Crossing the Human: Posthumanist Deviations in Cormac McCarthy’s The Border Trilogy

Creator:: Johnson, Anthony
Abstract:: This thesis argues that the first two novels of Cormac McCarthy’s The Border Trilogy mark a sharp turn from the antihumanism of his earlier ‘Southern’ novels to a more affective exploration of posthumanist subjectivity within a world dominated by social discourse and metanarratives. In my examination of All the Pretty...

Juvenile Pacific Oyster Growth and Food Resources in Eelgrass Habitats of Variable Shoot Density in Tillamook Bay, OR: Ecosystem Interactions for Management Consideration

Creator:: Merrill, Julianne
Abstract:: As the global demand for seafood increases each year, there is a growing need to expand sustainable aquaculture in the interests of food security and resilience of coastal communities. Pacific oysters, Crassostrea gigas, are grown in West coast estuaries - where cultures often overlap with the federally protected native eelgrass,...

Larval Biogeography and Varying Spawning Behavior of Bering Sea Groundfishes: Implications for Management in a Changing Seascape

Creator:: Vary, Laura
Abstract:: Early life stages of marine fishes exert substantial control on the productivity and resilience of marine fisheries, as these life stages represent periods of extreme mortality. Additionally, eggs and larvae of marine fishes respond rapidly to environmental change and can thus be used to infer ecosystem-wide responses to climate change...

Development of Diagnostic Assays for Race Differentiation of Podosphaera macularis

Creator:: Block, Mary H.
Abstract:: Hop powdery mildew (Podosphaera macularis) was confirmed in the Pacific Northwest in 1996. Before 2012, the most common race of P. macularis was able to infect plants that possessed powdery mildew resistance based on the R-genes Rb, R3, and R5. Post 2012, two additional races of P. macularis were discovered...

Passive acoustic monitoring of owls: two studies in forested landscapes of the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Duchac, Leila S.
Abstract:: Nearly all birds communicate through sound, and there has been much study of avian populations and communities using song and other vocalizations. Owls are no exception as they defend territories, advertise for mates, and defend against threats using various vocalizations. However, due to their generally nocturnal habits, some owl species...

LiDAR as Tool for Assessing Hazard Fuel Reduction Projects

Creator:: Olszewski, Julia H.
Abstract:: Land management practices in much of the western US that included wildland fire suppression have led to greater fuel loads than has been typical of historical fire regimes. In response to the increased wildland fire risk, “restoration” has emerged as a forest management goal. Restoration involves removal of uncharacteristic amounts...

Genetic Connectivity of Dungeness Crab (Cancer magister) in the California Current System and Puget Sound

Creator:: Jackson, Tyler M.
Abstract:: Understanding connectivity among exploited populations is critical to their sustainable management and long-term viability. In the marine environment, estimates of connectivity often rely on the use of genetic markers, as dispersal primarily occurs during a planktonic larval phase which is difficult to track using direct methods. In this thesis, we...

The Hampton Tuff, High Lava Plains, Oregon : Implications for Westward Migrating Silicic Volcanism

Creator:: Sanville, Henri J.
Abstract:: The Hampton Tuff is a 3.9 ± .02 Ma (2σ) ignimbrite sheet from the High Lava Plains of central Oregon. The majority of known outcrops exist to the north, within ~22 mi (~35 km) of the Frederick Butte Volcanic Center, the proposed source of the tuff. Thickness of the tuff...

Effects of Current Hatchery Practices on Salmon Odor Recognition and Responses

Creator:: Lemanski, Joseph R.
Abstract:: Salmon hatcheries have been utilized throughout the Pacific Northwest for many decades to mitigate losses, supplement natural spawning populations, and to provide tribal, sport and commercial fishing opportunities. Currently, there is substantial debate on their efficacy and the potential threats hatchery-reared salmonids pose to natural populations. These concerns have lead...
