In this thesis, I argue that using principles of restorative justice as a guide in the resolution of sexual harassment claims is more efficacious than a traditional retributive approach. I support this claim by synthesizing the work of Phillip Hallie, Josiah Royce and Martin Buber in order to come to...
The Law entitled ‘Title IX’ was designed to address the prevalent practice of institutionalized discrimination against women. The law aimed to introduce and reinforce the equal treatment of minorities and women at workplace and educational institutions. Title IX made some significant improvements in the system through the promotion of social...
Low-tech habitat restoration techniques, including Stage 0 treatments, are increasingly applied but often lack robust evaluation of their effects. In 2018, one kilometer of the South Fork McKenzie (SFMK) River, OR was modified to the Stage 0 condition for the benefit of ESA-listed Chinook by raising the incised channel to...
Summer streamflows in the Pacific Northwest are
largely derived from melting snow and groundwater discharge.
As the climate warms, diminishing snowpack and
earlier snowmelt will cause reductions in summer streamflow.
Most regional-scale assessments of climate change impacts
on streamflow use downscaled temperature and precipitation
projections from general circulation models (GCMs)...
The Middle Fork of the John Day River (MFJD) in Northeastern Oregon contains important spawning grounds for spring Chinook and summer steelhead of the Columbia River Basin. In the summer of 2008 phase one of a river restoration project was completed which included the addition of engineered log jams (ELJs)...

Furthermore, I‟d like to thank my new family, Ray and Sue, for
Olympia oysters, “Ostrea conchaphila,” were once common along the west coast of North America. A popular delicacy, native oyster populations began to decline in the late 1800’s due to over‐harvest, degraded water quality, and habitat loss. Interest in re‐establishing the native oyster in a small Oregon estuary, Netarts Bay, culminated...
In the fall through spring of 2002/03 and 2003/04, the composition of fish and amphibian communities were examined in intermittent streams in the upper Willamette river basin in western Oregon. I recorded standard aquatic habitat variables and water nutrient concentrations (nitrate and phosphate) and correlated them with fish and amphibian...
