High rates and high costs of adolescent pregnancy and school dropout have resulted in the development of many prevention programs; however, little is known about the long-range effectiveness of efforts. Empirical research is needed to document behavioral outcomes over extended periods of time. I interviewed eight young white women who...
Fundamental laws governing human mobility have many important applications such as forecasting and controlling
epidemics or optimizing transportation systems. These mobility patterns, studied in the context of out of home activity
during travel or social interactions with observations recorded from cell phone use or diffusion of money, suggest that in...

Recent climate projections predict more frequent and severe drought conditions in western Oregon which is a threat to forest health, productivity, and structure. Land managers are increasingly concerned with how to create forest drought resistance: a tree or stand’s ability to maintain its growth rates during a drought, and resilience:...
Previous studies have utilized different techniques (e.g., contingent valuation and travel cost methods) to understand users and non-users willingness to pay for natural resources, including their use of recreation areas. These techniques enable the calculation of public support, demand, and potential revenue that may influence future policy, conservation methods, land...
The forest sector forms an important part of Oregon’s economy, especially in rural communities. However, the economic performance and development of the sector are subject to both significant natural disturbances and to new and existing policies. The most common and disastrous natural disturbances in Oregon are wildfires. The Biscuit Fire...
Shallow lakes exist in either a clear or turbid state, with the clear state characterized by an abundance of aquatic macrophytes, diverse aquatic biota, low water column nutrients and phytoplankton biomass, whereas the turbid state is characterized by the opposite. These two distinct states are maintained by reinforcing (positive) feedback...
This toolkit is part of a larger project to employ innovative Extension techniques and technologies to engage a fast-growing yet traditionally underserved and socially disadvantaged segment of forest owners in the United States. This project is designed to engage women woodland owners with an empowering, peer-learning approach. The toolkit focuses...
