LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) is an emerging remote-sensing tool that can provide fine-scale data describing vertical complexity of vegetation relevant to species that are responsive to forest structure. We used LiDAR data to estimate occupancy probability for the federally threatened marbled murrelet (Brachyramphus marmoratus) in the Oregon Coast Range...
A method has been developed for the continuous automated monitoring
of cardiac output in adult rainbow trout. Average cardiac output measured under
control conditions and varied environmental conditions of hypoxia and post-hypoxia
was significantly higher (P≤ 0.05) in male than female trout. The cardiac
output of trout in spawning condition...
Methodologies for data reduction, modeling, and classification of grouped
response curves are explored. In particular, the thesis focuses on the analysis of
a collection of highly correlated, highly dimensional response-curve data of
spectral reflectance curves of wood surface features.
In the analysis, questions about the application of cross-validation
estimation of...
The leaf surface is a stark environment for bacterial colonists with limited
availability of nutrients, water and protected niches. Despite these limitations, a
plethora of bacteria appear to have adapted ways to survive and flourish on leaf
surfaces. One mechanism of survival is the formation of biofilms. Biofilms are a...
This qualitative study considered faith as a part of the lifespan development of adults with developmental disabilities between the ages of 30 and 67 years. Ten individuals who participated attended an adapted liturgy and/or fellowship group hosted by two Roman Catholic faith formation groups. The data were gathered through individual,...
Resazurin (Raz) and its reaction product resorufin (Rru) have increasingly been used as reactive tracers to quantify metabolic activity and hyporheic exchange in streams. Previous work has indicated that these compounds undergo sorption in stream sediments. We present laboratory experiments on Raz and Rru transport, sorption, and transformation, consisting of...
Headwater streams comprise nearly 90% of the total length of perennial channels in global catchments. They mineralize organic carbon entering from terrestrial systems, evade terrestrial carbon dioxide (CO₂ ), and generate and remove carbon through in-stream primary production and respiration. Despite their importance, headwater streams are often neglected in global...

Field studies in watershed hydrology continue to characterize and catalogue the enormous heterogeneity and complexity of rainfall runoff processes in more and more watersheds, in different hydroclimatic regimes, and at different scales. Nevertheless, the ability to generalize these findings to ungauged regions remains out of reach. In spite of their...
