The feasibility of utilizing acoustic imaging techniques for
improving the undersea viewing capability of small submersibles is
investigated. The limiting values of major parameters in acoustic
imaging systems are established and graphs which illustrate the
parametric relationships are presented. A series of sample calculations
illustrate how the graphs can be...
The dynamics of land use in the State of Oregon are simulated
on a digital computer. The introductory chapter outlines the complex
nature of the problems facing the post-industrial society and argues
that the scientific and professional estates share in the responsibility
for public policy formulation. The second chapter .presents...
Northeast Pacific benthic foraminiferal δ¹⁸O and δ¹³C reveal repeated millennial-scale events of strong deep-sea
ventilation (associated with nutrient depletion and/or high gas exchange) during stadial (cool, high ice volume) episodes
from 10 to 60 ka, opposite the pattern in the deep North Atlantic. Two climate mechanisms may explain this pattern....
The experiences of Latinx youth are well-studied in U.S. schools, yet, few studies have focused on their experiences in Community Based Educational Spaces (CBES). CBES continue to be on the periphery of Education research despite the potential affordances of youth-led work in such out-of-school spaces (Baldridge, 2020). At the same...
Two ecologically important lamprey species found in the endorheic Goose Lake Basin face conservation threats; however, relatively little is known about their habitat needs or spatial distribution. Lamprey and their habitat are often found to be patchy; to evaluate these relationships for the lamprey in this basin, I utilized a...
Tsunami inundation of coastal communities can impose a wide array of forces on the
built environment. Forces generated by tsunami-driven debris damming have the potential to
cause failure of coastal structures and further accumulate flow-entrained debris. Since tsunami-resilient design standards were adopted by ASCE in 2016, debris damming considerations have...
