Rapid Arctic warming is associated with important water cycle changes: sea ice loss, increasing atmospheric humidity, permafrost thaw, and water-induced ecosystem changes. Understanding these complex modern processes is critical to interpreting past hydrologic changes preserved in paleoclimate records and predicting future Arctic changes. Cyclones are a prevalent Arctic feature and...

SCOPE: Aim of the study was to identify and monitor metabolite markers of dry bean consumption
in parallel human and mouse studies that each had shown chemopreventive effects of dry
bean consumption on colorectal neoplasia risk.
METHODS and RESULTS: Using LC/mass spectroscopy ± ESI and GC/mass spectroscopy, serum
metabolites of...

This thesis is an effort to formalize and document some of the changes occuring in the Warwar Valley of Gongola State, Nigeria, West Africa. The documentation will comprise a photographic study over time accompanied by an ethnographic narrative. Information gathered from photographic images, field notes and the anthropological record will...

Alcoves in some river systems are cooler than the mainstem of the river and
provide thermal refugia for aquatic species. An energy balance and sensitivity analysis on 3 alcoves in the Willamette River, Oregon indicate that alcove size and alcove flux determine the degree to which meteorological conditions affect the...

Fuel reduction treatments are being applied to public lands, affecting
significant acreage at considerable expense. This study compares the short term
effects on a chaparral plant community of two different fuel reduction methods, brush
mastication and "hand piling and burning" (HPB). Ceanothus cuneatus dominated
the southwestern Oregon study sites where...

We map the regional physiography and surficial lithology (Surficial Geologic Habitat or
SGH) over the continental margin of Oregon. This thesis develops, describes, and
implements an iterative interpretive method to map seafloor habitat types from disparate
geological and geophysical datasets including: bathymetric images, sidescan sonar
images, seismic reflection profiles, sediment...
