Spatio-temporal patterns and trends in MODIS-retrieved radiative forcing by snow impurities over the Western U.S. from 2001 - 2022

Creator:: Jensen, Anna S.
Abstract:: Seasonal mountain snowpack of the western US (WUS) is a key water resource to millions of people. Impurities at the snow surface directly affect snowmelt timing and rate, as they contribute to earlier peak streamflow, snow disappearance, and less water availability in dry months. Predicting the locations, timing, and intensity...

Instructors’ Perspectives and Practices of Equity and Inclusion in Post-Secondary Mathematics

Creator:: Scarborough, Melissa
Abstract:: There is an underrepresentation of minority groups and women in the field of mathematics. With growing interest in equity and inclusion within the mathematics education community, it is important to look at how such concepts can be implemented in the classroom. Equitable and inclusive teaching practices have been shown to...

Atomic Layer Deposition of Multi-Insulator Metal-Insulator-Metal Capacitors

Creator:: Austin, Dustin Z.
Abstract:: Back end of line (BEOL) metal-insulator-metal capacitors (MIMCAPs) have become a core passive component in modern integrated circuits. International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) projections for scaling of analog/mixed-signal MIMCAP applications require simultaneously increasing capacitance density while maintaining low leakage current density and low voltage nonlinearity (characterized by the quadratic...

A methodology to reduce the strain on hydro turbines using advanced life extending control of multiple energy storage systems

Creator:: Brosig, Sean G.
Abstract:: Over the last 20 years, there has been rapid growth in the amount of installed wind power in the Pacific Northwest, specifically in the Columbia River Gorge. The variable and non-dispatchable nature of this resource requires that it be balanced in some form by other sources on the grid. In...

Modeling Forest Response to Changing Climate Conditions in Western North America

Creator:: Hawkins, Linnia R.
Abstract:: Forests play an integral role in the global carbon cycle, regulating the atmospheric CO₂ concentration by sequestering nearly one third of anthropogenic carbon emissions and storing carbon for centuries. Forest ecosystems are integrated into the culture, ecology, and economy of western North America, supporting wildlife habitat, local economies, recreation, and...

Canopy Effects on the Snow Hydrology of a Forested Mountain Environment in the Pacific Northwest, USA

Creator:: Roth, Travis R.
Abstract:: Rising global temperatures are having lasting effects on mountain snow environments in the form of diminishing snowpacks, shorter accumulation seasons, and shifts in meltwater timing. Seasonal snowpack is a vital source of water for natural and human systems. In the forested mountain landscapes of the Pacific Northwest seasonal snowmelt feeds...

Bird-vegetation relationships across ten years after thinning in young thinned and unthinned Douglas-fir forests

Creator:: Yegorova, Svetlana
Abstract:: Bird-vegetation associations are a base for bird conservation and management, as well as for predictions of the effects of resource management and climate change on wildlife populations. A recent shift in forest management priorities from timber production to native species' habitat conservation on federal lands has emphasized the need to...

Vertical Structure of the Lower Troposphere in a Changing Arctic

Creator:: Watkins, Daniel M.
Abstract:: The Arctic climate system is changing dramatically as a response to rising atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. Key indicators of Arctic change include thinning and retreating of Arctic pack ice, thawing permafrost, greening tundra, and rising surface temperatures. The structure of the atmospheric boundary layer influences and is influenced by processes...

Evaluation of a Variable Mixing Efficiency Parameterization on the Simulation of Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) Oceanic Circulation

Creator:: Thorstensson, Danil
Abstract:: This study tested the utility of a variable mixing efficiency formulation proposed by Mashayek, et al. (2017) for use in oceanographic models other than the modern, pre-industrial ocean. This formulation is used to calculate diapycnal (vertical) mixing due to unresolved subgrid-scale processes. Results from Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) simulations for...

Will wetlands restoration plans today still be effective tomorrow? Evaluation of performance of potential wetlands for peak flow reduction in future climate scenarios in the Eagle Creek Watershed, IN

Creator:: Walters, Kelli M.
Abstract:: Global climate change is expected to exaggerate the severity of floods and droughts and increase the frequency of extreme streamflow events in the Midwestern United States. Managing these projected impacts poses a major challenge for water resources, conservation, and land use management. Wetlands have been considered as a conservation strategy...
