Coloration, Camouflage, and Sexual Dichromatism in the Northern Pacific Rattlesnake (Crotalus oreganus)
… females due to a less sedentary lifestyle. The Northern Pacific Rattlesnake (<em>Crotalus oreganus) </em>is likely the most abundant ambush predator in eastern Washington, yet little is known about its color variation, how color patterns interact with their habitats, and if male and female …

Evaluating the impact of oceanic/atmospheric teleconnections on historical wildfires in West Virginia (1939--2006)
… that oscillations in the North Atlantic and the Northern Pacific drive West Virginia's climatic variability. This study also suggests that climate influences West Virginia's wildfire activity.

Effects of Wildfires on Rattlesnake (Crotalus Oreganus) Growth and Movement in Washington State
Fire is a dominant force in the Pacific Northwest that shapes ecosystems and influences wildlife, yet little is known of its effects on local predators. Northern Pacific rattlesnakes (<em>Crotalus oreganus</em>) comprise an excellent model to investigate how fire may influence wildlife because they …

Late Cretaceous-Cenozoic Accretionary History of Volcanic Arcs and the Bering Oceanic Plateau in the Northwestern in Alaska and Northeastern Russia Constrained by Integration of Geologic, Geophysical, and Radiometric Data
The political division of the northern Pacific plate margin between northeastern Asia in Russia, the Bering Sea, and Alaska and the Aleutian Islands in the USA has slowed the tectonic understanding of this vast, 9,100,000 km2 region. In this study I have compiled geologic, gravity, magnetic, …

A small look at the big picture: linking geopotential height anomalies to paleofloods on the Snake River, Idaho and Oregon
… of geopotential height anomalies over the North Pacific Ocean. Examination of the paleoflood record in two 4-m (12 ft) tall terraces along the Hells Canyon reach of the Snake River in Idaho and Oregon shows evidence of at least twenty-two late-Holocene extreme floods that occurred approximately …

Method Development Using Laser Ablation And Solution Icpms And Their Application In Environmental Science And Forensic Provenance Studies
… had 240Pu/239Pu ratio signatures typical of northern hemisphere atmospheric fallout, whereas Pu ratios in marine species were elevated, which is characteristic of the northern Pacific Ocean. Potential sources of Pu to the marine species were identified, with high-yield tests conducted in the …

Geographic and Ontogenetic Variation of Venom in the Rattlesnakes Crotalus oreganus oreganus and Crotalus o. helleri
… composition (venome) and neurotoxicity in the Northern Pacific (Crotalus oreganus oreganus) and Southern Pacific (C. o. helleri) rattlesnakes, with special emphasis on geographic variation across the species’ California range. In the first of three empirical studies, I used reversed-phase …

THE LIFE HISTORY AND ECOLOGY OF RIVERINE SOCKEYE SALMON (ONCORHYNCHUS NERKA) IN A LARGE FLOODPLAIN RIVER
… of the most variable life history traits of all Pacific salmon, using lake and river rearing strategies throughout rivers of the northern Pacific Rim. However, sockeye management has primarily focused on the lake-type life history with minimal regard to the importance of the riverine form. In the …

The Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 (IGF1) System as a Potential Biomarker for Nutritional Status and Growth Rate in Pacific Rockfish (SEBASTES SPP.)
… to commercial and recreational fisheries in the Northern Pacific Ocean. I reared juvenile olive rockfish under food ration treatments of 1% or 4% wet mass per d for 98 d to experimentally generate variation in growth. Juvenile rockfish in the 4% ration grew 60% more quickly in mass and 22% faster …

Arctic daily temperature and precipitation extremes: Observed and simulated physical behavior
… deep atmospheric circulation biases over the northern Pacific Ocean, manifested in pressure, geopotential height, and temperature fields. Possible remedies to correct these large biases, such as modifying the physical domain or using different initial/boundary conditions, were …

Stress Ecology of the Pacific Rattlesnakes (Crotalus oreganus and Crotalus helleri)
… and venom composition in a group of captive Northern Pacific rattlesnakes (<em>Crotalus oreganus</em>). Venom protein concentration and plasma CORT levels were compared before and after two weeks of unpredictable bouts of cage vibration, and to a non-vibrated control group. CORT levels were …

Coastal climate change and variability in the Benguela current system
… warming trend is observed in Southern Angola and Northern Benguela in late spring and summer. Results also show that the warming or cooling trends in the Benguela Upwelling System are not as linear as the trend in global air temperature. Indeed, when studying trends for the 1982-2017 period, …

The flow separations in the Taiwan Strait and ocean responses to the "hiatus" of the global mean surface temperature
… cold event in the Taiwan Strait (northwestern Pacific) is one of these disasters. In studying the behind dynamical mechanism of the cold event, four topics were raised in sequence and consisted of my thesis. Two off-shore flows are identified and investigated through observed and model (ROMS) …
