A natural resource science education program for members of the Warm Springs
Indian Reservation was designed and developed in partnership with tribal members. The
intent of the project was to create a culturally relevant program supported by culturally
reflective educational materials which met local needs. The goal of the project...
The use of Native American fire regimes evolved in the Klamath-Siskiyou bioregion over millennia. A mixture of Native American and Euro-American socio-cultural management has developed from adaptations to climate, topography, ecological processes, and land use practices. This research incorporates Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) to partially examine the role of tribal...
This study was an investigation of lotic macroinvertebrate distribution in northeastern Oregon at two different spatial and biological scales. Examination of assemblages at a limited spatial scale revealed relationships with natural and disturbance gradients and led to questions about distribution of a population at broader spatial scales. In a 16...
Initially, components of an aquatic food web were examined to study impacts of recreational use on the aquatic ecology of Quartzville Creek, Oregon in 1995 and 1996. Measurements of the food web components consisted of observations of harlequin ducks (Histrionicus histrionicus), visual counts of the larval caddisfly Dicosmoecus gilvipes, benthic...
Longitudinal patterns of fish and benthic invertebrate distribution and
habitat use were similar in Thomas Creek, Oregon but clarity of these patterns
differed. I studied fish and aquatic invertebrates simultaneously, at multiple
scales, and used multivariate statistical techniques to compare responses to the
same environmental conditions. Both types of organisms...
This research examines women's magazine editors' perspectives of the relationship between editorial and advertising content in women's magazines. It specifically investigates how this relationship affects both general editorial content and more specifically, social topic stories. Mainstream women's beauty/fashion magazine editors—including editors-in-chief—were queried as to the nature of these relationships. Interviews...
The Middle Fork John Day River is composed of low gradient, alluvial valley
segments separated by constrained, canyon-like reaches, and has a history of multiple
land-uses. These factors can alter the physical and biological structure of streams, and
disrupt the longitudinal river continuum. I examined habitat, fish, macroinvertebrates,
and primary...
Virginia Woolf wrote both prose and poetry, both fiction and non-fiction: she was
both a creative writer and a politically conscious reporter. She left a wealth of beautifully
crafted observations and comments that continue to be immensely quotable and influential.
Feminist critics today use Woolf's vocabulary to continue the feminist...
