Analyzing large paleoclimate datasets : implications for past and future climate change

Creator:: Shakun, Jeremy D.
Abstract:: This dissertation presents the results of statistical analyses of large climate datasets from two time intervals – the 20th century instrumental record and the proxy record of the last deglaciation – in order to understand the forcings and mechanisms of past climate variability. A longstanding question in climate dynamics concerns...

The fluvial response to glacial-interglacial climate change in the Pacific Northwest, USA

Creator:: VanLaningham, Sam J.
Abstract:: This research focuses on the development of new techniques to explore terrestrial-ocean climate linkages along the Pacific Northwest-northeast Pacific Ocean margin. This is done by investigating river response to climate change and by unraveling this history preserved in continental margin sediments. A significant component of this work centers on developing...

10Be exposure ages of erratic boulders in southern Norway and implications for the history of the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet

Creator:: Goehring, Brent M.
Abstract:: This thesis focuses on the application of the cosmogenic nuclide Beryllium-10 (10Be) in an effort to better constrain the thickness history of the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet (FIS) at the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and into the Holocene, as well as begin to answer the long-standing question regarding the age and...

An Interdisciplinary approach towards understanding late Pleistocene ice sheet change

Creator:: Cuzzone, Joshua K.
Abstract:: The results presented in this dissertation address a number of questions regarding late Pleistocene and Holocene ice-sheet and climate interactions, spanning disciplines involving paleoclimatology and atmospheric science. These studies use various techniques in geochemistry, climate modeling, and ice-sheet modeling to address ice- sheet response to climate and the attendant interactions...

Modern and past climate variability in the eastern Pacific warm pool

Creator:: Benway, Heather M.
Abstract:: Westward transport of water vapor across the Panama Isthmus helps to maintain the salinity contrast between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, important in thermohaline circulation and global climate. Relatively low sea-surface salinities and a strong, shallow pycnocline in the eastern Pacific warm pool (EPWP) region near Central America reflect high...

Transboundary river floods : vulnerability of continents, international river basins and countries

Creator:: Bakker, Marloes H. N.
Abstract:: Floods are the most frequent and damaging of all types of natural disasters and annually affect the lives of millions all over the globe. However, researchers seem to have overlooked the fact that floods do not recognize national boundaries. Therefore, the phenomena of shared, or transboundary floods occurring in international...

Using reanalysis data to characterize Arctic and Sub-Arctic glaciers

Creator:: Ourada, Quin
Abstract:: The net mass balance fluctuations of Arctic and Sub-Arctic glaciers, north of 47.5° North latitude, are described over a 45-year period from 1957 to 2002 using two parameters derived from a gridded climatology reanalysis. Variability among 185 measured glaciers was represented according to two main components. The first component represents...

Do vigorous young forests reduce streamflow? Results from up to 54 years of streamflow records in eight paired-watershed experiments in the H. J. Andrews and South Umpqua Experimental Forests

Creator:: Perry, Timothy D.
Abstract:: This study quantified the magnitude and timing of summer streamflow deficits in paired-watershed experiments in the Cascade Range of Oregon where mature and old-growth conifer forests were subjected to clearcutting, patch cutting, and overstory thinning treatments in the 1960s and 1970s. Hydrologic effects of clearcutting, small-patch cutting, and overstory thinning...

Optimizing Reservoir Operations to Adapt to 21st Century Expectations of Climate and Social Change in the Willamette River Basin, Oregon

Creator:: Moore, Kathleen M.
Abstract:: Reservoir systems in the western US are managed to serve two main competing purposes: to reduce flooding during the winter and spring, and to provide water supply for multiple uses during the summer. Because the storage capacity of a reservoir cannot be used for both flood damage reduction and water...

Effects of kokanee (Oncorhynchus nerka) redd superimposition on bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) reproductive success in the Deschutes River Basin, Oregon.

Creator:: Weeber, Matthew A.
Abstract:: Oregon's only remaining non-reservoir population of adfluvial bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) is found in Odell Lake, in the headwaters of the Deschutes River. The population size is unknown, but appears to be quite small. Limited spawning and rearing habitats, combined with the effects of introduced species and other anthropogenic changes...
