The purpose of this project was to investigate play and our cultural assumptions as to its usefulness or lack there of. The concepts of hard work versus hard play were explored in order to discover when human beings are operating at their best. In terms of innovation and productivity in...
The genetic underpinnings associated with the earliest stages of plant and animal domestication have remained elusive. Because a genome-wide response to selection can take many generations, the earliest detectable changes associated with domestication may first manifest as heritable changes to global patterns of gene expression. Here, to test this hypothesis,...
Subduction zone earthquake and tsunami hazards affect tens of millions worldwide and the recurrence of these disasters can be evaluated with paleoseismic techniques, because earthquake cycles (and their supercycles) typically span many millennia. In these three chapters, I discuss a suite of analyses I use to evaluate the sedimentary record...

The purpose of this dissertation was to contribute to understanding teachers’ experiences as facilitators of class meetings and the supports that can affect their facilitation. Chapter 2 is the manuscript, Maximize the Benefit of Class Meetings: Facilitating the Class Meeting as a Therapeutic Group. It was a conceptual article on...
The detection of subtle variations in mineral chemistry in zoned hydrothermal
alteration associated with the formation of porphyry copper deposits by short-wave
infrared spectroscopy and rock chemistry are potentially valuable vectoring tools for
mineral exploration. In order to correctly interpret the data collected by these methods,
results must be calibrated...
Background: A particular health inequity that has drawn national attention is obesity in persons with disabilities (CDC, 2011). Estimates suggest that as many as 80% of adults with mild to moderate intellectual disability (ID) are overweight or obese (Stanish & Draheim, 2005). Despite the benefits of being active (e.g. controlling...
