Gases in ice cores

Creator:: Bender, Michael, Sowers, Todd, and Brook, Edward J.
Abstract:: Air trapped in glacial ice offers a means of reconstructing variations in the concentrations of atmospheric gases over time scales ranging from anthropogenic (last 200 yr) to glacial/interglacial (hundreds of thousands of years). In this paper, we review the glaciological processes by which air is trapped in the ice and...

The Fracker’s Figleaf : Booms and Busts of Sustainable Communities and Cohesive Water Governance

Creator:: Groh, Fred
Abstract:: The Marcellus Shale Natural Gas play in Pennsylvania, since its inception, continues to be a source of contention for multiple Pennsylvania stakeholders. The issues that relate to natural gas extraction have seemingly impacted every community within the Marcellus Shale region in some form. As in most common pool resource...

Multidecadal variability of atmospheric methane, 1000–1800 C.E.

Creator:: Mitchell, Logan E., Brook, Edward J., Sowers, Todd, McConnell, J. R., and Taylor, Kendrick
Abstract:: We present a new high-precision, high-resolution record of atmospheric methane from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) Divide ice core covering 1000–1800 C.E., a time period known as the late preindustrial Holocene (LPIH). The results are consistent with previous measurements from the Law Dome ice core, the only other high-resolution...

Benefits of Geographic Information Systems for State and Regional Ocean Management

Creator:: Sowers, Derek C.
Abstract:: The current and potential benefits of using geographic information systems (GIS) to support state-level and regional-scale ocean management in the United States are evaluated. Specifically, the role of GIS in facilitating improved integration of management strategies for a variety of resource use issues across multiple management jurisdictions is examined, along...

Spatial and temporal variations of bioavailable polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the lower Willamette River

Creator:: Sower, Gregory J.
Abstract:: Urban rivers with a history of industrial use can exhibit spatial and temporal variations in contaminant concentrations that may significantly affect risk evaluations and assessment of remediation efforts. To more effectively estimate human and ecological health risks, we evaluated the spatial and temporal distribution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in...

Binary stochastic media transport : a coupled mesh based method

Creator:: Barnett, Nathan A.
Abstract:: Transport in a binary stochastic media has been an area of interest for many applications over the past three decades. Many different methods have been attempted, most based on the Levermore-Pomraning coupled transport model. However, this method has never been able to correctly solve problems where a large amount of...

Extending the applicability of implicit Monte Carlo Diffusion : frequency dependence and variance reduction using the difference formulation

Creator:: Cleveland, Mathew A.
Abstract:: The intent of this work is to extend Implicit Monte Carlo Diffusion (IMD)[Gen. 2001] to account for frequency dependence and to incorporate the difference formulation[Szo. 2005] as a source manipulation variance reduction technique. This work shows the derivation of the probabilities and the associated proofs which govern the frequency dependent...

Radiative heat transfer in combustion applications : parallel efficiencies of two gas models, turbulent radiation interactions in particulate laden flows, and coarse mesh finite difference acceleration for improved temporal accuracy

Creator:: Cleveland, Mathew A.
Abstract:: We investigate several aspects of the numerical solution of the radiative transfer equation in the context of coal combustion: the parallel efficiency of two commonly used opacity models, the sensitivity of turbulent radiation interaction (TRI) effects to the presence of coal particulate, and an improvement of the order of temporal...

Evaluating Watershed Plans : Assessing Initial Outputs of the Streamflow Restoration Act in Washington State

Creator:: Dawson, Elisa A.
Abstract:: As of September 2020, three of the outputs mandated under the Streamflow Restoration Act have been completed. However, little has been done to assess the quality of these plans. By using the Characteristics of Plan Quality That Serve as Evaluation Criteria to evaluate the plans completed so far, this research...

Conflict & Context: An analysis of water conflict in Idaho from 1950 to 2019

Creator:: Dickman, J. Colt
Abstract:: This is a comparative analysis of groundwater conflict and surface water conflict in Idaho from 1950-2019. The work looks at Idaho's exceptional experience with water and demonstrates that water conflict in Idaho is different than in other PNW states. The work outlines that Idaho's water conflict is almost solely focused...
