Invasive Species in Riparian Habitats of Washington: Using Species Distribution Models to Guide Monitoring Efforts

Creator:: Smiley, Samantha N.
Abstract:: Riparian ecosystems provide critical habitat for a broad diversity of aquatic and terrestrial species. However, due to their connectivity along river corridors, and the tendency for people to build roads, infrastructure, and other settlements next to rivers, riparian ecosystems are vulnerable to colonization by invasive plant and animal species. Early...

Attitudes toward Water Allocation Policy in the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Atkinson, Meagan
Abstract:: Oregon possesses a diversity of natural resources from the dense rain-soaked forests of the Coastal and Cascade ranges to the deep, fertile soils of the Willamette Valley to the arid and semi-arid Snake River Basin. In the Willamette Valley, water resources sustain agriculture, municipalities, hydropower, fish and wildlife, flood control,...

Exploring the Perspectives and Behaviors of Teachers on Invasive Species

Creator:: Root, Skye
Abstract:: This study explores the role of classroom use of live organisms as a pathway for the spread of invasive species. The overall guiding research question is “Are behavioral changes necessary to reduce the spread from the classroom pathway?” Using focus groups comprised of key educators, this study seeks to identify...

Water Wits : The Development and Evaluation of a New Model for Integrated Marine Science, Safety, and Stewardship Education

Creator:: Roberts, Sara Shaw
Abstract:: There are many different organizations and agencies which share responsibility for educating the public about responsible use of aquatic and marine resources. However, organizations specifically focused on particular dimensions of water use, such as Oregon State Marine Board (OSMB), often face challenges when attempting to recruit teachers to implement educational...

Morphology, Sediment Microbial Analysis, and Species Distribution Modeling of a New Offshore Population of Ghost Shrimp (Neotrypaea sp.)

Creator:: Hardisty, Sarah
Abstract:: In 2019, a multi-cohort population of the typically estuarine burrowing shrimp Neotrypaea sp., was discovered approximately 7 miles offshore of Newport, Oregon. Morphological analysis of the offshore population, microbial sediment sequencing, and species distribution modeling was conducted with this new offshore population. In order to identify Neotrypaea sp. to the...

Food Insecurity in the Community College, a Phenomenological Inquiry: The Lived Experience of Students Using a Campus Food Pantry

Creator:: Wells-Edwards, Andrea L.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to understand the lived experience of students to discern the impact of their interaction with the food pantry. This knowledge may, in turn, influence future food pantry methods and wider policy, both at PNW College and more broadly. Not only does student hunger have...

Exploring How Institutionalized Scuba Diving Training and the Diver Experience Influences the Diver’s Conceptualization of the Marine Environment

Creator:: Preston, Kimberley M.
Abstract:: The purpose of this grounded theory mixed methods study is to understand how new scuba dive students are creating meaning of their relationship to the marine environment and how that might be shaped by dive training and dive experiences. Eighty-one scuba dive students enrolled in a standardized entry-level dive course...

How We’ve Rebuilt : Collaboration, Community, Institutions, and Adaptation Following Catastrophic Wildland Fire in the United States

Creator:: Fishler, Hillary K.
Abstract:: In the study of rebuilding and recovery after natural disasters in the United States, little attention is paid to understanding how and why people rebuild following recurring, small-scale events, like wildfire. Hazard and risk literature, instead, is focused on understanding how larger communities with greater resources, economics, and social capital,...

Optimal spatial-dynamic resource allocation facing uncertainty : integrating economics and ecology for invasive species policy

Creator:: Hall, Kim M.
Abstract:: The spatial and temporal behavior of invasive species spread implies that optimal management strategies involve decisions over space and time. Dispersal and propagule pressure are two primary drivers of the spatial-temporal ecological process of species invasion. In the case of riparian communities, stream flow drives the dispersal of vegetation propagules....
