Effects of four inbreeding levels (F = 0, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5) and
two supplemental mass pollination (SMP) methods (agitation of
naturally shedding pollen with "air blaster" and pollen application
from large "pollen wand" atomizer) were evaluated on seed of trees
from eleven full-sibling Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii [Mirb.]
Franco) families in...
My work has focused on investigating synthetic organic reactions using applied computational methods. Non-covalent interactions are critical to catalysis, mechanism, and stereoselectivity, with the most prominent interaction for isothioureas being the S···O contact between the catalyst sulfur atom and the oxygen of the acyl group. A comprehensive joint experimental and...
Silicic volcanism in the central Oregon Cascade range has decreased in both the size and frequency of eruptions from its initiation at ~40 Ma to present. The reasons for this reduction in silicic volcanism are poorly constrained. Studies of the petrogenesis of these magmas have the potential for addressing this...
