Data for a fuzzy logic model for biomass loss risk under projected climate change in Oregon and Washington west of the Cascade Mountains crest

Creator:: Sheehan, Tim and Bachelet, Dominique
Abstract:: This dataset contains data layers used and produced by a fuzzy logic model for biomass loss risk under projected climate change in Oregon and Washington west of the Cascade Mountains crest.
Resource Type:: Dataset

A regional computable general equilibrium model with applications for the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Zheng, Xiaojuan
Abstract:: Many important policy problems entail linkages among multiple economic sectors, and require the use of a general equilibrium economic modeling framework. This economic approach is appropriate when the market for any one good or service is linked to numerous other goods and services, and back to fundamental inputs such as...

Investigating climate feedbacks across forcing magnitudes and time scales using the radiative kernel technique

Creator:: Jonko, Alexandra
Abstract:: Radiative feedbacks associated with changes in water vapor, temperature, surface albedo and clouds remain a major source of uncertainty in our understanding of climate's response to anthropogenic forcing. In this dissertation climate model data is used to investigate variations in feedbacks that result from changing CO₂ forcing and the time...

Canadian vegetation response to climate and projected climatic change

Creator:: Lenihan, James M.
Abstract:: The equilibrium response of Canadian vegetation to climate and climatic change was modeled at three organizational levels of the vegetation mosaic. The climatic parameters used as model drivers (i.e., snowpack, degree-days, minimum temperature, soil moisture deficit, and actual evapotranspiration) are components of climate that physiologically constrain the distribution of dominant...

Simulation of vegetation and hydrology for climate change analysis of a mountain watershed

Creator:: Waichler, Scott R.
Abstract:: Climate change is expected to have both direct and indirect effects on water resources. Hydrologic impacts of two indirect effects, vegetation density and stomata! conductance, are evaluated for the American River, a 200 km² watershed in the Cascade Range of Washington state. First, a set of distributed hydrology-biogeochemistry model structures...

Potential impacts of climate change on vegetation distributions, carbon stocks, and fire regimes in the U.S. Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Rogers, Brendan M.
Abstract:: The U.S Pacific Northwest contains a wide variety of ecosystems, all subject to relatively dry summers and wet winters. As has been shown with paleoclimatic and paleoecological data, the region is vulnerable to changes in climate. We assessed the sensitivities of vegetation distributions, carbon stocks, and fire regimes to 21st...

Coastal hazards and community exposure in a changing climate : the development of probabilistic coastal change hazard zones

Creator:: Baron, Heather M.
Abstract:: Documented trends in rising sea levels, storminess, and extreme wave heights have the potential to increase the frequency and magnitude of coastal change hazards, increasing risks to coastal infrastructure and environmental resources. Coastal planners and decision makers need information about the impacts of future hazards in order to apply mitigation...

Modeling and dating glacier fluctuations and their relation to Pacific Ocean climate

Creator:: Anslow, Faron S.
Abstract:: This thesis presents the results of an investigation into the interactions between the present-day South Cascade Glacier and the former Mauna Kea ice cap at short (annual to centennial) and long (millennial and multimillennial) time scales. To quantify the response of South Cascade Glacier to atmospheric conditions, a surface energy...

Regional Scale Modeling of Climate, Cryosphere, and Freshwater Discharge in Changing Coastal Mountain Environments

Creator:: Beamer, Jordan P.
Abstract:: The glaciated coastal mountain watersheds that drain into the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) provide a model laboratory to explore the challenges of hydrological modeling and study the impact of climate and glacier cover change on regional hydrology. The region is data-sparse and contains a complex assemblage of topography and land...
