Rocks and reactors : an atomic interpretation of human rights, 1941-1979

Creator:: Richards, Linda Marie
Abstract:: The atomic age was enacted by many scientists as a way to realize health and human rights. Human rights were conceived in this context as rights to economic development, science education, and nuclear medicine. The United States Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) acted hand in hand with UN agencies and educators...

Regional variation in stand structure and development in forests of Oregon, Washington, and inland Northern California

Creator:: Reilly, Matthew J. and Spies, Thomas A.
Abstract:: Despite its importance to biodiversity and ecosystem function, patterns and drivers of regional scale variation in forest structure and development are poorly understood. We characterize structural variation, create a hierarchical classification of forest structure, and develop an empirically based framework for conceptualizing structural development from 11,091 plots across 25 million...

Management trade-off between aboveground carbon storage and understory plant species richness in temperate forests

Creator:: Burton, Julia I., Ares, Adrian, Olson, Deanna H., and Puettmann, Klaus J.
Abstract:: Because forest ecosystems have the capacity to store large quantities of carbon (C), there is interest in managing forests to mitigate elevated CO[subscript 2] concentrations and associated effects on the global climate. However, some mitigation techniques may contrast with management strategies for other goals, such as maintaining and restoring biodiversity....

Dixy Lee Ray, marine biology, and the public understanding of science in the United States (1930-1970)

Creator:: Ellis, Erik
Abstract:: This dissertation focuses on the life of Dixy Lee Ray as it examines important developments in marine biology and biological oceanography during the mid twentieth century. In addition, Ray's key involvement in the public understanding of science movement of the 1950s and 1960s provides a larger social and cultural context...

Nature in chains : the effects of Thomas Jefferson’s rectangular survey on a Pacific Northwest landscape

Creator:: Schweickert, Tina K.
Abstract:: Understanding the impact of humans on the environment has long been a topic of scholarly interest and debate. As environmental problems mount, accounts of historic ecological conditions and the factors of change become increasingly useful. This study considers competing schools of interpretation about human impacts on ecological landscapes and develops...

The effects of wildfire on the sediment yield of a coastal California watershed

Creator:: Warrick, J. A., Hatten, J. A., Pasternack, G. B., Gray, A. B., Goni, M. A., and Wheatcroft, R. A.
Abstract:: The occurrence of two wildfires separated by 31 yr in the chaparral-dominated Arroyo Seco watershed (293 km²) of California provides a unique opportunity to evaluate the effects of wildfire on suspended-sediment yield. Here, we compile discharge and suspended-sediment sampling data from before and after the fires and show that the...

Late Miocene erosion and evolution of topography along the western slope of the Colorado Rockies

Creator:: Rosenberg, Russell, Kirby, Eric, Aslan, Andres, Karlstrom, Karl, Heizler, Matt, and Ouimet, Will
Abstract:: In the Colorado Rocky Mountains, the association of high topography and low seismic velocity in the underlying mantle suggests that recent changes in lithospheric buoyancy may have been associated with surface uplift of the range. This paper examines the relationships among late Cenozoic fluvial incision, channel steepness, and mantle velocity...

Pleistocene drainage reorganization driven by the isostatic response to deep incision into the northeastern Tibetan Plateau

Creator:: Zhang, Huiping, Zhang, Peizhen, Champagnac, Jean-Daniel, Molnar, Peter, Anderson, Robert S., Kirby, Eric, Craddock, William H., and Liu, Shaofeng
Abstract:: Pleistocene drainage basin integration led to progressive excavation of Tertiary-Quaternary sedimentary basins along the Yellow River in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau. Cosmogenic burial dating of ancestral river deposits and basin fill from two key watershed divides confirms a fluvial connection between basins at 0.5–1.2 Ma, prior to excavation by the...

Nonadditive effects of the environment on the survival of a large marine fish population

Creator:: Cianelli, Lorenzo, Chan, Kung-Sik, Bailey, Kevin Mclean, and Stenseth, Nils C.
Abstract:: Climate can affect population dynamics in indirect ways via nonadditive forcing by external variables on internal demographic rates. Current analytical techniques, employed in population ecology, fail to explicitly include nonadditive interactions between internal and external variables, and therefore cannot efficiently address indirect climate effects. Here, we present the results of...

On his own terms : William James, identity, and the development of American Psychology

Creator:: Stoller, Kevin R.
Abstract:: William James came of age at a time of great social and intellectual change in the United States. During this period, new professional identities proliferated, and a new culture of professionalization developed with important ramifications for conceptions of individual and social identity. Professionalization was also closely related to key intellectual...
