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...

The water and energy dynamics of an old-growth seasonal temperate rainforest

Creator:: Link, Timothy E.
Abstract:: In the Pacific Northwest (PNW), concern about the impacts of climate and land cover change on water resources, flood-generating processes, and ecosystem dynamics emphasize the need for a mechanistic understanding of the interactions between forest canopies and hydrological processes. A detailed measurement and modeling program during the 1999 and 2000...

Evaluating the efficiency of the Washington State Ferry routes using data envelopment analysis

Creator:: Owen, Alyce L.
Abstract:: This paper uses data envelopment analysis (DEA) to examine the relative technical efficiency of the Washington State Ferry (WSF) routes operating in Puget Sound. This is the largest ferry system in the country. It is publicly operated and does not face direct competition from any other agency, public or private....

Traffic and greenhouse gas modeling in future land use development scenarios of Skagit County

Creator:: Mooney, Abraham A.
Abstract:: Energy use and greenhouse gas emissions are on the forefront of planning policy in the world today. In the U.S., the transportation sector accounts for 50 percent of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the most of any single sector. State and local levels of government have been very proactive in the...

Design and implementation of a physical model for Keystone Harbor, WA

Creator:: Richmond, J. Brady
Abstract:: Strong tidal currents experienced at Keystone Harbor, WA, have caused navigational hazards and disrupted ferry service in the area. This thesis presents details of the design, construction and implementation of a large scale physical model of Keystone Harbor used to evaluate the effectiveness of proposed jetty design alternatives to improve...

Private timber supply projections for western Oregon and Washington : a comparison with 1980 RPA timber supply estimates

Creator:: Flick, Dennis D.
Abstract:: The Timber Resource Analysis System (TRAS) was the timber supply projection model used in conjunction with the Timber Assessment Market Model (TAMM) to predict future U.S. softwood timber harvests, inventories and product prices in the 1980 RPA Timber Assessment conducted by the USDA Forest Service. Several criticisms of the TRAS...

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...

Indirect parameter identification algorithm in radial coordinates for a porous medium

Creator:: Roley, Kenneth L.
Abstract:: The decision to bury high level nuclear wastes in deep geological formations led to the study of the Hanford Nuclear Reservation as one of three possible sites for the first nuclear waste repository in the United States. To adequately evaluate the environmental impact of siting nuclear waste repositories in basalt...

Multi-objective Optimization of Reservoir Operation Under Uncertainty with Robust and Flexible Decision Variables

Creator:: Hosseini, Parnian
Abstract:: Optimization of reservoir operation is involves various competing objectives for a scarce resource (water). To find the optimal operation of reservoirs, it is essential to consider multiple objectives simultaneously. There are various sources of uncertainty associated with the reservoir operation problem that should be considered as well. The overarching goal...
