The effects of land use on stream nitrate concentrations : from the catchment scale to the regional scale

Creator:: Poor, Cara J.
Abstract:: This work furthers the understanding of processes occurring in catchments that affect stream nitrate concentrations using two different approaches: a temporally intensive case study of three headwater catchments with varying land use (through storm event monitoring) and a spatially intensive study on the regional scale (through statistical modeling) of 1st-4th...

Interactions between microbial dynamics, water flow, and solute transport in unsaturated porous media

Creator:: Yarwood, Rockie R.
Abstract:: Bioremediation in the vadose zone is unpredictable because of poor understanding of factors influencing microbial growth in this environment. A lab-scale experimental system was developed to examine, noninvasively, interactions between microbial growth, water flow, and solute transport in unsaturated porous media. Measurements of microbial colonization, and its impact on hydrology,...

Impact of tropical instability waves on nutrient and chlorophyll distributions in the equatorial Pacific

Creator:: Evans, William Wiley
Abstract:: Tropical instability waves (TIWs) are prominent seasonal features in both the equatorial Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. This work quantifies their role in modulating the distributions of nutrients and phytoplankton biomass. Using an eight year record of biannual ship observations along the Tropical Atmosphere Ocean (TAO) buoy array, cruise sections crossing...

The great fires : Indian burning and catastrophic forest fire patterns of the Oregon Coast Range, 1491-1951

Creator:: Zybach, Bob
Abstract:: The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between land management practices of Indian communities prior to contact with Europeans and the nature or character of subsequent catastrophic forest fires in the Oregon Coast Range. The research focus is spatial and temporal patterns of Indian burning across the...

Wild nature or the garden : conservation themes in the forests of Tarzan and Herland/Ourland

Creator:: Davis, Caryn M.
Abstract:: At first glance, Edgar Rice Burroughs's wildly popular romantic fantasy novel, Tarzan of the Apes (1912), and Charlotte Perkins Gilman's feminist science fiction-utopian novel, Herland (1915), with its dystopian companion, With Her in Ourland (1916), may appear to have little in common. Tarzan celebrates the human connection with wild nature...

Carbene rearrangements : intramolecular interaction of a triple bond with a carbene center

Creator:: Dan̄ino, José C.
Abstract:: The tosylhydrazones of 2-heptanone, 4,4-dimethy1-2- heptanone, 6-heptyn-2-one and 4,4-dimethy1-6-heptyn-2- one were synthesized and decomposed under a variety of reaction conditions: dry lithium and sodium salt pyrolyses, sodium methoxide thermolyses in diglyme and photolyses of the lithium salt in tetrahydrofuran. The saturated analogues 2-heptanone tosylhydrazone and its 4,4-dimethyl isomer afforded the...

Carbon storage in U.S. Pacific Northwest coastal dunes : the role of invasive beachgrasses and sand supply

Creator:: Stepanek, John
Abstract:: As global atmospheric carbon emissions continue to rise, scientists and land managers are increasingly looking to natural ecosystems to sequester and store carbon to buffer the impacts of climate change. Despite their small geographic size, many coastal ecosystems such as salt marshes, seagrass meadows, and mangroves sequester large amounts of...

Behavior of stream inflows to a stratifying field reservoir

Creator:: Chasse, James Peter
Abstract:: The behavior of a stream upon entering a field reservoir was studied at various stages of stratification. The principal field techniques included fluorometric and temperature surveys. General relationships were obtained, between dimensional and locational characteristics of the inflow current and the thermal structure of the impoundment. As predicted by analytical...
