Interpreting Climate of the Past from High-Resolution Ice Core Records of Methane

Creator:: Lee, James E.
Abstract:: Methane is a product of biogeochemical processes which respond to changes in climate. The history of atmospheric methane is recorded by ice cores providing insight into past changes in these biogeochemical processes. This dissertation is comprised of three studies which focus on centennial- and millenial-scale variability of methane from ice...

Impact of the Ocean’s Overturning Circulation on Atmospheric CO2

Creator:: Schmittner, Andreas, Brook, Edward J., and Ahn, Jinho
Abstract:: A coupled climate-carbon cycle model and ice core CO2 data from the last glacial period are used to explore the impact of changes in ocean circulation on atmospheric CO2 concentrations on millennial time scales. In the model, stronger wind driven circulation increases atmospheric CO2. Changes in the buoyancy driven deep...

Opening Pandora's Box at the Roof of the World : The Past and Present of Avian Influenza Science

Creator:: Canavan, Barbara C.
Abstract:: By means of a case study and historical analysis, this dissertation examines the past and present of avian influenza. By integrating disconnected histories of human and animal influenza, this dissertation links historical insights with the concerns of contemporary avian flu science. It is not only a natural history of avian...

Climate Change and Oregon’s Water Future

Creator:: Campana, Michael E.
Abstract:: The specter of climate change looms large over Oregon. Although hydroclimatologic models predict a warmer Oregon, the total volume of precipitation may not change significantly. However, the character (rain vs. snow) and spatial and temporal distributions of precipitation will likely change. The state is already witnessing earlier snowmelt in the...

Assessing Streamflow Response to Climate Change: Why Geology Matters

Creator:: Mayer, Tim
Abstract:: Climate change will continue to profoundly affect water supply and aquatic ecosystems in the Pacific Northwest. Changes such as warmer air temperatures, increases in the proportion of winter rain versus snow, reduced spring snowpack, and earlier snowmelt all affect streamflow. The response to these climate impacts includes earlier runoff peaks,...

Past climate variability in southwestern Oregon and relationships with regional and hemispheric climate

Creator:: Ersek, Vasile
Abstract:: This dissertation presents the results of three studies that assessed climate variability on short and long timescales in western United States. The growth of carbonate formations in caves (speleothems) is used to infer the timing and amplitude of past climate variability. We first assess the controls on speleothem growth for...

Using Partnership and Prioritization to Achieve Whole Watershed Restoration in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Senkyr, Lauren and Grant, Megan Callahan
Abstract:: The goal of the Whole Watershed Restoration Initiative (WWRI) is to restore natural functions of whole watersheds in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, while amplifying community-based partnerships focused on the strategic restoration of Pacific salmon and steelhead ecosystems. The WWRI partners (Ecotrust, NOAA Restoration Center, the U.S. Forest Service's Pacific Northwest...

The influence of insect pests and pathogens on Sierra forests

Creator:: Ferrell, George T.
Abstract:: Currently, Sierra Nevada forests have high levels of mortality caused by bark beetles infesting trees stressed by drought, fire, overly dense stands, and pathogens. Fuel loads and fire hazard are high. Past logging and fire exclusion practices are partially responsible for this situation. Mitigative restoration requires thinning overly dense stands,...
