Spatial trends in U.S. wind energy facility siting practices

Creator:: Wiles, Nathan M.
Abstract:: The United States (U.S.) has seen dramatic growth in installed wind energy generation capacity in recent years, and that growth is expected to remain strong in the near term. The siting of wind energy facilities poses unique challenges that may be exacerbated by increased buildout. As the number of wind...

Traditional Environmental Knowledge (TEK) and Cultural Reconstruction: A Practical Application at the Red Bluff Recreation Area, Mendocino National Forest, Grindstone District

Creator:: Riske-Gomez, Jessica
Abstract:: The project location is a pre-historical gathering site for basketry materials utilized by the Wintun people within the boundaries of the Red Bluff Recreation Area. Due to environmental changes and neglect, the site has fallen into disuse and degradation. The aim of this project is ethnoecological restoration, which varies from...

Effects of Woolsey Fire on Nesting Territories of Southern California Red-Tailed Hawks

Creator:: Gao, Jane
Abstract:: The relationship between fire and wildlife habitat is complex. Fires can create favorable conditions for some species and simultaneously extirpate entire populations of other species. Red-tailed hawks choose nesting habitats according to resources available. Natural disturbances such as wildfires change the availability of those resources. In late 2018, the Woolsey...

Adapting Wastewater Treatment Plants to Sea Level Rise: A Case Study of Half Moon Bay, California

Creator:: Cozzolino, Brittney K.
Abstract:: Wastewater treatment plants around the world are becoming increasingly at risk of sea level rise impacts as these facilities are typically located in low-lying areas to utilize gravity flow for influent (incoming sewage) and effluent (discharged treated sewage). As these risks become realized, treatment plant managers and decision-makers must know...

Environmental Remote Sensing with Unmanned Aircraft Systems

Creator:: Burnett, Jonathan D.
Abstract:: Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUASs) equipped with optical sensors are capableof remotely sensing landscapes and wildlife at spatial and temporal resolutions that werepreviously inaccessible due to technical and budgetary limitations. Conventional remotesensing and photogrammetric workflows can be applied to the resulting high resolution imageryto facilitate new types of scientific inquiry....

Invasive Plant Management Plan and Digital Tools for Big Sur Land Trust of Monterey County, California

Creator:: Nichols, Abby L.
Abstract:: An Invasive Plant Management Plan developed for Big Sur Land Trust, a non-profit conservation organization located on California's Central Coast, to guide its vegetation management activities and serve as a decision-support tool. The effort included the creation of a digital field data collection tool through Survey123 Connect, survey and data...

Persistence of spatial distribution patterns of coastal cutthroat trout in a Cascade mountain stream

Creator:: Novick, Marc S.
Abstract:: Previous research in South Fork Hinkle Creek suggested that coastal cutthroat trout exhibit an aggregated spatial pattern across multiple spatial scales. To evaluate the persistence of the observed abundance patterns and identify factors that affect those patterns, half-duplex passive integrated transponders (PIT-tags) were implanted in 320 coastal cutthroat trout (>...

Using a geographic information system (GIS) to monitor recreation impacts in a forested setting

Creator:: Wing, Michael
Abstract:: With a growing population and increasing demand for recreation resources, managers of public lands face unique challenges in allocating and overseeing resource use. One of the most reliable methods for gathering information from resource users involves surveying. Summaries and applications of survey results typically have not fully addressed the spatial...

Electrical characterization of silicon and silicon dioxide materials

Creator:: Sze, Wing-Il
Abstract:: The major goal of this research work was to develop better electrical measurements for the evaluation of silicon material quality. The first approach investigated was the Zerbst generation lifetime measurement technique. It was demonstrated that the error in the estimation of the generation lifetime obtained with this technique could be...

Examination of airborne discrete-return lidar in prediction and identification of unique forest attributes

Creator:: Wing, Brian M.
Abstract:: Airborne discrete-return lidar is an active remote sensing technology capable of obtaining accurate, fine-resolution three-dimensional measurements over large areas. Discrete-return lidar data produce three-dimensional object characterizations in the form of point clouds defined by precise x, y and z coordinates. The data also provide intensity values for each point that...
