Winter climate is expected to change under future climate scenarios, yet the majority of winter ecology research is focused in cold-climate ecosystems. In many temperate systems, it is unclear how winter climate relates to biotic responses during the growing season. The objective of this study was to examine how winter...
The spatial distribution and geologic histories of submarine volcanoes provide insight into submarine eruptive behavior, deep earth processes and plate tectonics. This dissertation examines the evolution of individual submarine volcanic edifices as well as linear trails of seamounts at three spatial and temporal scales.
In order to understand constructive and...
The field performance of genetic containment technologies–considered important for
certain uses of transgenic trees in forestry–are poorly known. We tested the efficiency of a
barnase gene driven by the TA29 tapetum-dominant promoter for influencing growth rate and
inducing male-sterility in a field trial of transgenic hybrid poplar (Populus tremula x...

Subsurface mapping was used to determine the structure andgeologic history of the South Cuyama dome and part of the Russellfault in the South Cuyama oil field area. Deformed Late Cretaceousand or early Tertiary marine strata are unconformably overlain bythe late Oligocene to early Miocene Vaqueros Formation (QuailCanyon Sandstone Member, Soda...
Articulate brachiopod communities sensitive to environmental factors, especially depth and distance from shore, are described from the upper Middle Devonian (upper Eifelian and Givetian; Cazenovia, Tioughnioga, and Taghanic stages of eastern North America) of eastern North America. The Subrensselandia, Cupularostrum, Mediospirifer, Tropidoleptus, Devonochonetes, Mucrospirifer, Atrypid-Strophodontid, Ambocoeliid, Pacificocoelia, Truncalosia, and Camarotoechia...
