  1. Riparian Vegetation Assemblages and Associated Landscape Factors Across an Urbanizing Metropolitan Area

    While diverse, native riparian vegetation provides important functions, it remains unclear to what extent these assemblages can persist in urban areas, and under what conditions. We characterized forested...

  2. Then and Now: Vegetative Change Detection on Mount St. Helens 2000-2015

    The 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens (MSH) proved a dramatic event with many important socio-economic consequences. In addition, this eruption resulted in an array of ecological consequences with subsequent...

  3. Micrometeorological Simulations to Predict the Impacts of Heat Mitigation Strategies on Pedestrian Thermal Comfort in a Los...

    The urban heat island impacts the thermal comfort of pedestrians in cities. In this paper, the effects of four heat mitigation strategies on micrometeorology and the thermal comfort of pedestrians were...

  4. Stabilization of Vegetable Oil-Based Quenchants to Thermal-Oxidative Degradation: Experimental Strategy and Effect of...

    Although petroleum oils continue to be the dominant type of basestock for the formulation of vaporizable quenchants, there is increasing pressure to identify an alternative basestock to address the limitations...

  5. Factors Driving the Concentration of Ephemeral Flow

    In spite of decades of related research, stream channel initiation is still not well understood. Current theories of channel initiation are grounded in research conducted by Montgomery and Dietrich, largely in...

  6. BEE CAUSE: Is Legislative Action Protecting Bees from Neonicotinoids Justified?

    The potential harm caused to bees and other pollinators by the widespread use of neonicotinoids has the capacity to pose a real and immediate threat to both the environment and humans. The benefits that bees...

  7. Root-enhanced Infiltration in Stormwater Bioretention Facilities in Portland, Oregon

    I evaluated the effectiveness of plant roots to increase infiltration rates within stormwater bioretention facilities (SBFs), roadside planter compartments that filter stormwater. SBFs attenuate harmful effects...

  8. Simulation Modeling of Forest Landscape Disturbances: Vegetation Dynamics and Biogeochemistry

    This is a book chapter within Simulation Modeling of Forest Landscape Disturbances. Forest landscape disturbances are a global phenomenon. Simulation models are an important tool in understanding these broad...

  9. The Importance of Urban Habitat Connectivity and Influence on Native Avian Species and Community Science

    In what ways do small-scale urban backyards contribute to local bird abundance and biodiversity? In what ways might these yards serve as an ‘extension’ of neighboring native forest areas? This project...

  10. Performance Analysis of DroughtHPC

    We present our performance analysis of DroughtHPC, a software application being developed by an interdisciplinary effort lead by Dr.Moradkhani in the Civil Engineering department, Dr. Daescu in the Math...
