Physiological impacts of groundwater and surface water application on desert graminoids of different geographic origin

Creator:: Abdallah, Mohamed (Mohamed Ahmed B.)
Abstract:: Desert plant communities are among the most sensitive to changes in soil water conditions. In areas with shallow aquifers, it is important to understand both the effects of groundwater alterations on vegetation and how changes in surface-soil water affect plant water uptake. Studies in arid environments have evaluated the effect...

A characterization of seasonal pools in Central Oregon's high desert

Creator:: Dlugolecki, Laura
Abstract:: Seasonal wetlands in arid and semi-arid lands provide an important source of surface water in otherwise dry lands. Central Oregon's high desert, located in the Northern Great Basin (NGB) is dotted with hundreds of seasonal pools, locally called playas. The playas hold water or snow during parts of winter and...

Site formation at Ayia Varvara Asprokremnos and predictive modeling for neolithic sites, Cyprus

Creator:: Barnett, Darby E.
Abstract:: Site formation processes at Ayia Varvara Asprokremnos, a potentially early Neolithic archaeological site on Cyprus, are examined in order to build a larger predictive model. The study area immediate to the site encompasses 6.33 hectares and includes the site and alluvial terraces on both sides of the Gialias River. Fourteen...

Probabilistic Geospatial Analyses, Uncertainty Modeling, and Mapping of Seismically-induced Ground Failures

Creator:: Sharifi Mood, Mahyar
Abstract:: Ground failures, in particular landsliding, liquefaction and lateral spreading can be triggered by seismic sources. The frequency, magnitude, and impact of these ground failures are highly dependent on the topography and geology of the site including its slope, depositional environment, and geotechnical properties as well as the proximity of the...

Geoarchaeological Investigations at the Devils Kitchen Site (35CS9), Southern Oregon Coast

Creator:: Curteman, Jessica Ann
Abstract:: A geoarchaeological investigation was conducted at the Devils Kitchen archaeological site, located in the Devils Kitchen State Park along the southern Oregon coast. In this thesis research, the author paired previous and recent excavated stratigraphy profiles to define culturally significant deposits. These stratigraphic units were defined further geochemically using a...

Progress in the Search for Early Sites in the Lower Salmon River Canyon, Idaho: A Case Study in Geoarchaeological Prospection

Creator:: Lancaster, JD L.
Abstract:: The search for and discovery of early archaeological sites is an inherently geoarchaeological problem. Archaeological sites of late Pleistocene-age are known to be located in the Intermountain West, however, the record of these early sites remains limited to only a few examples. In the lower Salmon River canyon (LSRC), the...

Interactions between ecosystem nitrogen and bedrock control long-term calcium sources in Oregon Coast Range forests

Creator:: Hynicka, Justin D.
Abstract:: Ecosystem nitrogen (N) supply strongly influences the availability and cycling of other essential nutrients in temperate forests, especially calcium (Ca). Short-term additions of N that exceed ecosystem demands often increase dissolved nitrate fluxes and decrease soil pH, which can stimulate soil Ca loss. However, the long-term effects of high N...

Spatial variability of dust deposition in the Luquillo Mountains, Puerto Rico

Creator:: McClintock, Matthew
Abstract:: Dust deposition on ecosystems with highly weathered soils may provide vital rock-derived nutrients that maintain ecosystem productivity. Because of the difficulties in measuring temporally and spatially heterogeneous dust deposition over ecologically meaningful timescales, evaluations of the spatial variability in dust deposition are extremely rare. In the Luquillo Mountains of Puerto...

Paleoenvironmental Reconstruction of Late Pleistocene and Holocene Human Ecologies: A Case Study of Phytoliths from the Lower Salmon River Canyon, Idaho

Creator:: Knapp, Dante L.
Abstract:: Archaeological excavations of the Cooper's Ferry site in the Lower Salmon River Canyon, Idaho, have revealed a stratified record of cultural occupation, spanning the late Pleistocene and early Holocene periods. The purpose of this study was to contribute to the understanding of cultural adaptive strategies represented in the archaeological record...

Expanding the chemostratigraphic framework of the Cooper's Ferry site (10IH73) using portable x-ray fluorescence spectrometry

Creator:: Holcomb, Justin Allen
Abstract:: This thesis reports a study of pXRF chemostratigraphy at the Cooper's Ferry site, located in western Idaho’s Lower Salmon River Canyon. The author used portable x-ray fluorescence spectrometry (pXRF) in order to independently test and expand the current chemostratigraphic framework at the site. PXRF applications targeted two stratigraphic sections located...
