Wildfire is an annual threat for many rural communities in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. In some severe events, evacuation is one potential course of action to gain safety from an advancing wildfire. Since most evacuations occur in a personal vehicle along the surrounding road network, the...
Climate impact studies often require the selection of a small number of climate scenarios. Ideally, a subset would have simulations that both (1) appropriately represent the range of possible futures for the variable/s most important to the impact under investigation and (2) come from global climate models (GCMs) that provide...

Summertime low clouds are common in the Pacific Northwest (PNW), but spatiotemporal patterns have not been characterized. We show the first maps of low cloudiness for the western PNW and North Pacific Ocean using a 22‐year satellite‐derived record of monthly mean low cloudiness frequency for May through September and supplemented...
Connectivity and larval dispersal is explored off the Oregon coast during the summer upwelling season of 2001 using numerical ocean circulation simulations. The study region, with strong wind-driven currents and variable topography, is modeled using the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) forced by the Coupled Ocean Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System....
White electroluminescence (EL) was observed for the first time from diamond-like carbon (DLC) films at room temperature. ac voltages in excess of 200 V were applied to a metal-insulator-semiconductor (i.e., DLC)-insulator-metal device structure to observe EL. At an applied voltage of 235 V, the brightness and efficiency were 0.5 fl...
Combined plasmonic nanocrystals and metal–organic framework
thin-films are fabricated for sensing gases in the near-infrared
range. This nanocomposite thin-film shows a highly sensitive response
in near-infrared absorption, which is attributed to preconcentration
of gas molecules in metal–organic framework pores causing close
proximity to the electromagnetic fields at the plasmonic nanocrystal...
