  • Ready for Anything: Adaptive Capacity in Western States' Water Plans

    Creator:
    Cogan, Leah R.
    Abstract:
    In the western United States, climate change is likely to bring greater uncertainty and extreme events outside the range for which water infrastructure, governance, and allocation mechanisms have been designed. In addition, many water systems already struggle with issues of institutional fragmentation, ineffective governance, and unsustainable management practices. Adaptive capacity,...

  • Assessing the Adaptive Governance Capacity of Western Water Communities

    Creator:
    Pakenham Stevenson, Anna
    Abstract:
    One of the greatest challenges in the West is the sustainable management of limited water resources. In recognition of localized responses to natural resource challenges, there has been considerable work in the area of adaptive capacity and collaborative governance to help understand a community’s capacity to manage change. This study...

    Creator:
    Dello, Kathie D.
    Abstract:
    Despite a history of leadership and creative approaches to environmental issues, Oregon has struggled to adequately prepare for the current and future impacts of climate change. Oregon faces barriers and limits to understanding, planning, and implementing climate adaptation that can be examined and quantified. Climate change makes for an additional...

  • Investigating Calving Areas for Rocky Mountain Elk on the Plumas National Forest: Implications for Land Management

    Creator:
    Marshall, Abigail C.
    Abstract:
    Sustainable elk (Cervus canadensis) habitat management on U.S. Forest Service (USFS) lands involves a complex relationship between management practices and ecological processes. A relatively novel Rocky Mountain elk population (Cervus canadensis nelsoni) on the Plumas National Forest (PNF) in northeastern California became established in the early 2000s, but there is...

  • Analysis of Oregon's Domestic Well Testing Act data for use in a sentinel surveillance system for private well contaminants

    Creator:
    Hoppe, Brenda O.
    Abstract:
    The Safe Drinking Water Act ensures that public systems provide water that meets health standards. However, no such protection exists for millions of Americans who obtain water from private wells. Concern for safety is warranted as most wells draw from underground aquifers, and studies demonstrate that groundwater is affected by...

  • Identification of Small Molecule Inhibitors of the Staphylococcus aureus Sortase A Enzyme

    Creator:
    Bateman, Katherine B.
    Abstract:
    The Sortase A (SrtA) enzyme is a potential target for a new class of anti-infective drugs because it is responsible for anchoring virulence factors to the surface of pathogenic, Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus. High throughput screening yielded low molecular weight compounds that inhibit purified SrtA from S. aureus....

  • Habitat Connectivity and Conservation Prioritization for Golden-winged Warblers in Northwestern North Carolina

    Creator:
    Woodie, Mikey Bard
    Abstract:
    Golden-winged Warblers are facing population decline and increasing threats in the southern Appalachian Mountains. Experts believe that breeding habitat loss is one of the primary reasons for Golden-winged Warbler decline in the region. In northwestern North Carolina, research is ongoing to understand the availability of suitable breeding habitat for Golden-winged...

  • Potential effects of climate change and fire management on fire behavior and vegetation patterns on an east Cascades landscape

    Creator:
    Greaves, Heather E.
    Abstract:
    Climate exerts considerable control on wildfire regimes, and climate and wildfire are both major drivers of forest growth and succession in interior Northwest forests. Estimating potential response of these landscapes to anticipated changes in climate helps researchers and land managers understand and mitigate impacts of climate change on important ecological...
