  • Exceeding the standards: The benefits of place-based environmental education in schools

    Creator:
    Miller, Rebecca W.
    Abstract:
    There is a growing body of research that describes the benefits of place-based environmental education (EE) within the schools, including improved competencies, better interpersonal skills, decreased gaps in social divides, increased pupil engagement in learning, increased community awareness, and increased environmental stewardship. Though the benefits are many, few schools utilize...

  • Creating a Predictive Model of Cinder Cone Evolution in Central Oregon

    Creator:
    Das-Toke, Shyam P.
    Abstract:
    Cinder cones are useful geomorphic features for geological analysis because they generally have known initial states and follow a similar pattern of degradation as they are exposed to erosive processes. This is largely because cinder cones are produced by monogenetic eruptions. Characterizing large cinder cone fields in terms of age...

  • Vegetation Community Data to Inform Climate-Adaptation Management; Gardiner, New York

    Creator:
    Randazzo, Andrew
    Abstract:
    Climate change represents an increasing threat to northeastern temperate forests. Nearly all forest communities have been affected by climate change and require climate-adaptation management (Jandl et al. 2018). Climate-adaptation management (CAM) promotes the viability of forested systems and the ecosystem services they provide under current and future climatic conditions (Bolte...

  • Computational Approaches for Understanding Combinatorial Gene Regulation

    Creator:
    Ansariola, Mitra
    Abstract:
    Gene regulation is a complex mechanism that controls the spatial and temporal expression of genes in a living cell. My dissertation studies focus on two problems. First, tissue-specific gene expression prediction from DNA sequence and chromatin state, and second, the accurate discovery of small over-represented regulatory circuits in gene regulatory...
