A significant proportion of the population of the United States suffers from chronic pain, a category of disease that is not yet well understood by healthcare professionals. A majority of this group is made up of women; individuals who often have to convince healthcare professionals that their symptoms are real...
We present the WD2014 chronology for the upper
part (0–2850 m; 31.2 ka BP) of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet
(WAIS) Divide (WD) ice core. The chronology is based on
counting of annual layers observed in the chemical, dust
and electrical conductivity records. These layers are caused
by seasonal changes...

Air was sampled from the porous firn layer at the NEEM site in Northern Greenland. We use an ensemble of ten reference tracers of known atmospheric history to characterise the transport properties of the site. By analysing uncertainties in both data and the reference gas atmospheric histories, we can objectively...

Riparian vegetation along streams provides a suite of ecosystem services in rangelands and thus is the target of restoration when degraded by over-grazing, erosion, incision, or other disturbances. Assessments of restoration effectiveness depend on defensible monitoring data, which can be both expensive and difficult to collect. We present a method...
Coarse resolution imagery, such as that produced by the MODIS instrument, poses the challenge of estimating sub-pixel proportions of di erent land cover types. This problem is di cult because of the variety and variability of vegetation within individual pixels. This thesis describes and compares two existing algorithms for estimating...
The South Pole ice core (SPC14), drilled in the field seasons of 2014/2015 and 2015/2016, is an intermediate length, 1,751-m ice core which preserves a 54,000-year record of past climate and atmospheric composition. The SPC14 ice core adds to the spatial grid of ice cores in Antarctica extending into the...

Naked (hull-less) barley has historically been grown for food, but interest in, and breeding efforts for, its use in malting and brewing have increased due to the potential benefits: reduced off-flavors, reduced spent grain, and higher malt extract. These benefits are offset by limiting factors such as high b-glucan and...
We present high-resolution measurements of carbon
monoxide (CO) concentrations from a shallow ice core
of the North Greenland Eemian Ice Drilling project (NEEM-
2011-S1). An optical-feedback cavity-enhanced absorption
spectrometer (OF-CEAS) coupled to a continuous melter
system performed continuous, online analysis during a fourweek
measurement campaign. This analytical setup generated
stable...
The collection, evaluation, and organization of spatial information is instrumental to the
successful development and execution of planning policies and management programs.
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) provide the technology to integrate varying
informational needs into a single relational database for ease in data retrieval and
analysis. The use of a...
