Extreme value index estimation with applications to modeling extreme insurance losses and sea surface temperatures

Creator:: Henry, John B.
Abstract:: The extreme value index (EVI) links the generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution and the generalized Pareto (GP) distribution. These two distributions are fundamental in extreme value theory (EVT), with the GEV distribution being the only possible non-degenerate limiting distribution of properly normalized maxima of iid random variables, and the GP...

Advancements in the Monitoring of Forests and Quantification of Live Aboveground Biomass Using Moderate Resolution Spaceborne Multispectral Imagery and Synthetic Aperture Radar Data

Creator:: Kilbride, John B.
Abstract:: The objective of this dissertation is to enhance the monitoring of forest ecosystems through the utilization of remotely sensed data to address the exigencies posed by the Anthropocene. On a global scale, rising temperatures and fluctuating precipitation patterns have strained forests and produced shifts in natural disturbance regimes. Additionally, the...

Characterization and Cultivar Susceptibility Assessment of Bacterial Blight in Hazelnut Caused by Xanthomonas arboricola pv. corylina

Creator:: Webber, John B., III
Abstract:: Bacterial blight (Xanthomonas arboricola pv. corylina) (Xac) of hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) was described first in Oregon in 1915 and is now recognized as a damaging disease of young hazelnut trees worldwide. Stressed hazelnut trees in conditions such as planting on marginal sites, and trees between 1 and 4-years-old are...

Measuring the Sustainability of a Proposed Copper Mine in Arizona : A Temporal Comparison

Creator:: Handy, John B.
Abstract:: A proposed copper mine in Arizona has the potential to be the largest copper producing mine in North America. It is expected to produce over a billion pounds of copper per year, and individually produce more than half of the United State's demand for copper. The operation claims to be...

Archaeological investigation and technological analysis of the Quartz Mountain Obsidian Quarry, central Oregon

Creator:: Hatch, John B.
Abstract:: The Quartz Mountain Obsidian Quarry is located in the Southeast corner of the Bend Fort Rock Ranger District in central Oregon, approximately forty-five miles southeast of Bend, Oregon. The research of the Quartz Mountain Obsidian Quarry began with a literature search of other quarry sites in the area and the...

Toward understanding the nature of the soil microsite in relation to nitrogen and carbon cycling

Creator:: Cliff, John B.
Abstract:: My research has focused on understanding N and C cycling in soils at small scales. Isotope dilution methods commonly used to estimate gross rates of soil chemical transformations assume homogeneous distribution of label. I explored the effects of diffusion limitations on isotope dilution experiments in soil aggregates using spherical diffusion-reaction...

Ampelisca eschrichtii Krøyer, 1842 (Ampeliscidae) of the Sakhalin Shelf in the Okhotsk Sea starve in summer and feast in winter

Creator:: Durkina, Valentina B., Chapman, John W., and Demchenko, Natalia L.
Abstract:: Background. Ampelisca eschrichtii Krøyer, 1842 of the Sakhalin Shelf of the Okhotsk Sea, Far Eastern Russia, comprise the highest known biomass concentration of any amphipod population in the world and are a critically important prey source for western gray whales. Growth and reproduction in this population has not been apparent...

Burning the legacy? Influence of wildfire reburn on dead wood dynamics in a temperate conifer forest

Creator:: Donato, Daniel C., Fontaine, Joseph B., and Campbell, John L.
Abstract:: Dynamics of dead wood, a key component of forest structure, are not well described for mixed-severity fire regimes with widely varying fire intervals. A prominent form of such variation is when two stand-replacing fires occur in rapid succession, commonly termed an early-seral “reburn.” These events are thought to strongly influence...

Evaluating rural Pacific Northwest towns for wildfire evacuation vulnerability

Creator:: Dye, Alex W., Kim, John B., McEvoy, Andrew, Fang, Fang, and Riley, Karin L.
Abstract:: Wildfire is an annual threat for many rural communities in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. In some severe events, evacuation is one potential course of action to gain safety from an advancing wildfire. Since most evacuations occur in a personal vehicle along the surrounding road network, the...
