Many students at the undergraduate level struggle with finding a niche that satisfies their various interests, specifically those in the arts and sciences. This study examined via interviews with fourteen current or recently graduated Oregon State Students, along with my own experience at the University, how students define art and...

In this thesis, I examine the ways in which the television series Twin Peaks represents
the feminine through a textual analysis of the character Audrey Home. Using reader-response
theory, I seek to show that while the series conforms to patriarchal media
conventions such as the male gaze and narrative stereotypes...
Forest species classifications are becoming increasingly automated as advances are made in machine learning. The algorithms used to identify tree species range from simple decision trees to intricate neural networks, and often excel in accurately delineating tree species. However, complex algorithms can have high input costs, including the cost of...
Public lands in the Pacific Northwest are managed for multiple uses including timber production, recreation and aesthetic value, maintaining wildlife habitat, conserving native species, and carbon storage. Wildfires impact large areas encompassing broad environmental conditions. Interactions among underlying environmental gradients and alteration of overstory competition by fire of varying severities...
On April 20th, 2010 the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico malfunctioned leading to a 4.9 million barrel oil spill. The released oil affected marine life, coastal ecosystems, and the economic framework of the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf spill spurred research on absorbent materials and engineering...
In the past decade, declines in amphibian populations have captured scientific and popular interest. The causes of the declines are likely to be complex and involve interactions between several environmental stressors. Using multifactorial experiments, I investigated the combined effects of several anthropogenic stressors on developing amphibians in Oregon, USA. In...
