A Coupled Bioeconomic Model of a Regional Economy and an Aquatic Food Web

Creator:: Lee, Katherine, Rutherford, Ed, Zhang, Hongyan, Finnoff, David, Warziniack, Travis, and Apriesnig, Jenny
Abstract:: Feedbacks between the ecosystem and the economy are important to consider when measuring impacts from a disturbance but are often missed in representations of the economy and the food web. Moreover, regional general equilibrium models often focus on how humans respond to ecological changes and do not consider that in...

Recreational Boating and the Spread of Eurasian Watermilfoil - Determinants of Boater Demand and the Costs of Prevention Efforts in Wisconsin

Creator:: Kovski, Nicole
Abstract:: In the case of lake management for recreational use, policy makers often face a balancing act. They must maintain both the ecological quality of sites and the welfare of recreationists. In Wisconsin's Northern Highland Lake District, recreational boaters inadvertently transport aquatic invasive species between lakes. Economic models of boater demand...

A Microeconomic Analysis of Wildfire Suppression Programs in the Western United States

Creator:: Rossi, David J.
Abstract:: This dissertation studies the microeconomics of forest fire suppression programs. It starts with an inquiry into the causes of increasing shares of public land management budgets devoted to wildland fire suppression in lieu of hazardous fuel reduction or other pre-fire risk mitigation programs. The first two chapters consider competing economic...

Advances in Modeling Natural Resource Management under Uncertainty : Forest Mortality, Policy Design, and the Value of Information

Creator:: Sloggy, Matthew R.
Abstract:: Advancing the understanding of natural resource management is an important step in mitigating the effects of human activity on the environment, and ensuring efficient outcomes for many sectors of the economy. As humanity’s role in the natural world becomes better understood, the importance of interdisciplinary modeling has grown in leaps...

Sixth Oregon climate assessment

Creator:: Fleishman, Erica and Oregon Climate Change Research Institute
Abstract:: Consistent with its charge under Oregon House Bill 3543, the Oregon Climate Change Research Institute (OCCRI) conducts a biennial assessment of the state of climate change science, including biological, physical, and social science, as it relates to Oregon and the likely effects of climate change on Oregon. This sixth Oregon...

Initial attack fire suppression, spatial resource allocation, and fire prevention policy in California, the United States, and the Republic of Korea

Creator:: Lee, Yohan
Abstract:: In this dissertation, I combined a scenario-based, standard-response optimization model with a stochastic simulation model to improve the efficiency of the deployment of initial attack firefighting resources on wildland fires in California and the Republic of Korea. The optimization model minimizes the expected number of fires that do not receive...

Spatially explicit inter-temporal forest management decision under the risk of fire

Creator:: Konoshima, Masashi
Abstract:: This paper presents a framework for analyzing efficient spatial allocation of forest management efforts - fuel treatment and harvest - under the risk of fire. The framework integrates a fire behavior model and a spatially-explicit stochastic dynamic optimization model. I investigate the effects of spatial interaction across plots during forest...

Wildfire risk management : strategic interaction and spatial interdependence

Creator:: Busby, Gwenlyn M.
Abstract:: In this dissertation, I examine how the spatial configuration of forest ownership influences the risk-mitigating behavior of public and private forestland owners over time. I determine whether or not the predicted equilibrium outcomes are socially optimal and, if not, whether the introduction of regulation, liability, or private insurance would lead...

Aquatic pesticide best management practices and relational database for the protection of NOAA trust species

Creator:: Gianou, Kelsey, Lam, Jennifer, Emanuel, Robert, Jepson, Paul, and Chan, Sam
Abstract:: Pesticides are widely used to control undesirable pests and may be applied directly to water or lands directly adjacent to water. There can be unintended consequences, however, to native, threatened, and endangered species. There is little information on the impacts of aquatic pesticides and best management practices (BMPs) to NOAA...
