Spatial and temporal variability of carbon dynamics in a tropical forest of Colombia

Creator:: Sierra, Carlos Alberto
Abstract:: Despite the importance of tropical forest ecosystems in the global carbon cycle, there have been few studies of carbon dynamics in this biome. The magnitude of carbon stocks in the tropics and their changes over time are poorly known since ground-based observations are lacking. In this study, total carbon stocks...

Environmental variability and system heterogeneity in terrestrial biogeochemical models

Creator:: Sierra, Carlos Alberto
Abstract:: Ecosystems are highly heterogeneous systems subjected to important levels of environmental variability; however, it is common in terrestrial biogeochemical models to assume homogeneous properties of the elements of the system or constant environmental conditions. For some processes, heterogeneity in these models is treated very simplistically, but there is not much...

Fold growth due to kink-band migration in repeated earthquakes, Sierra de Villicum, San Juan, Argentina

Creator:: Krugh, William C.
Abstract:: Growth strata geometries and deformed geomorphic surfaces reflect the shorttimescale growth of Sierra de Villicum (San Juan Province, Argentina). Accumulated deformation in repeated earthquakes is recorded by the structural geometry of deformed geomorphic surfaces. Through geologic mapping and topographic surveying, six strath terraces were identified on the eastern flank of...

Land Use Impacts on Water Quality in Oak Creek Watershed

Creator:: Johnson, Keira R.
Abstract:: Understanding the relationships between land use, water quality, and groundwater is crucial for ecological, economic, and water management decisions. This study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the land use activities and hydrologic processes influencing the water quality of Oak Creek watershed. Objectives of this study were: 1) to...

Can growth strata identify individual paleoearthquakes and characterize fold kinematics? A case study from the La Laja fault system, Sierra de Villicum, Argentina

Creator:: Schultz, Emily S.
Abstract:: A large, damaging earthquake in 1944 on a blind thrust fault caused 60 cm of surface rupture on the subsidiary La Laja fault and additional unmeasured growth of an associated backlimb fold. Both the fold and fault are components of the La Laja Fault System (LLFS) located 25 km northeast...

Tracing Sources of Soil Organic Matter Through Time, Across Ecosystems, and Down Soil Profiles

Creator:: Gallo, Adrian Carlos
Abstract:: Soils contain the largest pool of carbon that is actively cycling on human timescales, leading many to view soils as a natural climate solution with multiple co-benefits. The field of soil science is rapidly evolving, but without a unified understanding of soil carbon dynamics. This dissertation leverages two distinct long-term...

A Professional Athlete’s Transition Out of Sport: The Challenges and Opportunities that Pertain to Entering into a New Career

Creator:: Bishop, Sierra A.
Abstract:: Each year, whether it be under voluntary or unvoluntary circumstances, countless professional athletes retire from their sport. Even by the average retirement age of 30, many are still underprepared to face the challenges that accompany the transition. Along with the changes in schedule, identity, and social group, numerous professional athletes...

Smooth nonparametric conditional quantile profit function estimation

Creator:: Piskunov, Anton
Abstract:: Recently, in an attempt to produce robust production frontier estimators, Aragon et al. [2005, Nonparametric frontier estimation: a conditional quantile-based approach. Econometric Theory 21, 358-389] and Martins-Filho and Yao [2008, A smooth nonparametric conditional quantile frontier estimator. Journal of Econometrics 143, 317-333] considered the estimation of nonparametric α- frontier models...

Ecohydrologic Connections of Rangeland Ecosystems in Central and Eastern Oregon, USA

Creator:: Durfee, Nicole M.
Abstract:: In light of water scarcity and the impacts of climate change, there is an increased need to understand the interaction between land use characteristics and ecohydrologic processes in semiarid regions. Additionally, many semiarid and arid regions face various land management challenges, including woody plant encroachment, decreased snowpack, and increased stream...

The sexualization of women in modern film trailers

Creator:: Loiselle, Sierra
Abstract:: Previous research has shown that women are increasingly sexualized in a variety of media contexts. I conducted a content analysis of film trailers from 2018 and 2019 to examine the relationship between the sexualization and objectification of female-presenting characters to the popularity of the film and its trailer. A random...
