Volcanic and sedimentary deposits of the Mount Jefferson area (MJA) record a fourmillion-year
history of arc-related volcanism related to the subduction of the Juan de Fuca plate
beneath North America. 171 mapped stratigraphic units over an area of 150 km² reveal four
periods of volcanic activity resulting in diverse composition...

The Tobin Range of central Nevada lies in the Basin and Range extensional
province near the transition between more extended terrane (>50%) to the south and
east, and generally less extended terrane to the north and west. Geologic mapping,
40Ar/39Ar dating and whole-rock geochemical analysis were employed to establish the...

Biodiversity continues to decline in the face of increasing anthropogenic pressures such as habitat destruction, exploitation, pollution and introduction of alien species. Existing global databases of species’ threat status or population time series are dominated by charismatic species. The collation of datasets with broad taxonomic and biogeographic extents, and that...

In the future, Earth will be warmer, precipitation events will be more extreme, global mean sea level will rise, and many arid and semiarid regions will be drier. Human modifications of landscapes will also occur at an accelerated rate as developed areas increase in size and population density. We now...

The major obstacle to widespread parallel programming of multiprocessors is the lack of a convenient parallel programming system. PPSE (Parallel Programming Support Environment) is a unified approach to parallel programming. Parallax is developed as a component of PPSE based on ELGDF which is a graphical language for designing parallel programs....
This project, to propose an implementation strategy for standard monitoring
protocols, builds on my Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Fellowship to support a
study entitled Evaluating Cumulative Ecosystem Response to Restoration Projects in the
Columbia River Estuary (Diefenderfer et al. 2005). The major objective of the study was
to develop a...
