The Oregon Coast's small water systems, like the vast number of small water systems across the U.S., are greatly vulnerable. Failing infrastructure, limited financial capital, and inadequate staff combined with future changes in climate, population size, and regulatory stringency spell out a potentially dire future for the region's water supply...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF
Lauren Marie Dennis for the degree of Master of Science in Water
Background:
Phylogeographic studies of aquatic insects provide valuable insights into mechanisms that shape the genetic structure of communities, yet studies that include broad geographic areas are uncommon for this group. We conducted a broad scale phylogeographic analysis of the least salmonfly Pteronarcella badia (Plecoptera) across western North America. We tested...

The thesis area consists of 44 square miles in southeast Harney
County, Oregon. The Pueblo Mountains are located in the northwest
part of the Basin and Range structural province, and are characterized
by normal faults of large displacement that produced the tilted fault
block mountain range.
The oldest rocks exposed...

Ecological and financial constraints limit restoration efforts, preventing the achievement of desired ecological outcomes. Harvesting invasive plant biomass for bioenergy has the potential to reduce feedback mechanisms that sustain invasion, while alleviating financial limitations. Typha × glauca is a highly productive invasive wetland plant that reduces plant diversity, alters ecological...

Increased temperatures and changes in precipitation will result in fundamental changes in the
seasonal distribution of streamflow in the Pacific Northwest and will have serious implications for water
resources management. To better understand local impacts of regional climate change, we conducted
model experiments to determine hydrologic sensitivities of annual, seasonal,...

Objective: To examine the pricing trajectories in the United States of disease-modifying therapies (DMT) for multiple sclerosis (MS) over the last 20 years and assess the influences on rising prices.
Methods: We estimated the trend in annual drug costs for 9 DMTs using published drug pricing data from 1993 to...
