The changing glaciers of Mt. Hood, Oregon and Mt. Rainier, Washington : implications for periglacial debris flows

Creator:: Ellinger, Jonathan R.
Abstract:: Mountain glaciers are receding worldwide with numerous consequences including changing hydrology and geomorphology. This study focuses on changes in glacier area on Mt. Hood, Oregon and Mt. Rainier, Washington where damaging debris flows have occurred in glaciated basins. Landsat imagery is used to map debris-free ice on a decadal time...

Citizen-agency interactions : an investigation of postfire environments

Creator:: Olsen, Christine Shaw
Abstract:: Wildfire management has grown increasingly complex in recent years, particularly in the West and in the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) where a steady population growth has resulted in greater risk to people and property. Recent trends suggest the process of recovering from large fires (>100,000 acres) will become increasingly important to...

Mercury bioaccumulation in remote subalpine lakes : assessing the influence of invasive trout on salamanders

Creator:: Pfleeger, Adam
Abstract:: Mercury (Hg) contamination is a global conservation threat to freshwater ecosystems, detected in even the protected lakes of Olympic National Park (Washington, USA). Although considered some of the most remote and pristine US ecosystems, these lakes are currently subject to multiple environmental stressors, including climate change and fish introductions; adding...

Historical landscape reconstruction and perceptual geography of Mount Hood, Oregon

Creator:: Belgam, Daniel R.
Abstract:: This research seeks to understand the influences of perception on land use around the Mount Hood area of Oregon and evaluate how it has evolved over the past 4,000 years. The study addresses three specific questions: 1) How has the study area evolved over time into the modern landscape? 2)...

Simulating vegetation shifts and carbon cycling in Yosemite National Park

Creator:: Conklin, David R.
Abstract:: The vegetation in Yosemite National Park changed during the 20th century and may change in the 21st century in response to climate change. Vegetation surveys made during the 1930s and the 1990s provide benchmark records separated by 60 years. This study uses the MC1 dynamic global vegetation model to forecast...

Semi-volatile organic compounds as molecular markers for atmospheric and ecosystem transport

Creator:: Genualdi, Susan A.
Abstract:: The use of semi-volatile organic compounds (SOCs) as molecular markers to identify the contributions of regional and long-range atmospheric transport, as well as current and historic sources, and contaminant deposition in remote ecosystems of the Western U.S. was investigated. Trans-Pacific air masses influenced by Siberian biomass burning events had elevated...
