The purpose of this report is to characterize the December 2007 storm and long-term storm variability along the Oregon and Washington coast, present the results of a rapid assessment of randomly selected OWEB restoration projects (restoration activities including large wood placement, fish passage, and riparian planting), and based on the...

In the following pages the information, so far as it has been possible to obtain it, is given in the following order for each alumnus: Name, year in which the degree was conferred, degree, course, present occupation, and present mailing address.
This thesis is a preliminary archaeological predictive model and project-planning
tool created for the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) as part
of a statewide planning effort to enhance the agency's ability to assess the potential
impacts of highway projects on archaeological resources. This model addresses the
archaeological sensitivity of the...
While properties are extremely important from an application point of view, it is crucial to have a detailed understanding of the underlying structural influence. Once a concrete correlation between the structure and the observed property is established, rational design of novel materials with optimized properties can be realized. These optimized...
Knowledge of regional-scale patterns of plant community structure and controlling factors is largely qualitative and based on numerous local studies. Data from a subsample of 10,000 field plots were used to quantify and map compositional gradients of woody plant communities across Oregon forests. Canonical correspondence analyses explained 9-14% of the...
Calanoid copepod diet was investigated in Oregon coastal waters to determine
the trophic significance of phagotrophic protists as copepod prey within an ecosystem
where the microplankton biomass is typically dominated by large diatoms. Prior to and
during the 1991 upwelling season, clearance rates on phytoplankton and phagotrophic
ciliates were measured...
Structure-property relationships have always underpinned the field of solid state chemistry; dependable structural descriptions are integral to understanding and controlling the physical properties of inorganic compounds old and new. While a handful of crystal structures are celebrated for their versatility, flexibility, and functionality, the existence of more exotic structures is...
The structure–property relationships of solid solutions within the YbFe₂O₄ family of compounds have been studied in relation to their optical, dielectric and magnetic properties. This family of compounds is of recent interest because of the trigonal bipyramid coordination that is rarely observed in transition metal oxides. The systematic study of...
Transition metal oxides exhibit potential in various application fields due to the special d-electrons. Solid state chemistry focuses on discovering the structure-property relationships. The work in this thesis mainly discusses compounds with hexagonal or brownmillerite-type structure and their practical properties.
Hexagonal YIn[subscript 1-x]Fe[subscript x]O₃ (x = 0-0.3, 0.7-1.0) phases have...
