Cow Methane-Reduction Wearable Technology and Animal Welfare: Humane Solutions to Lessen Livestock’s Environmental Impact

Obek, Anna (University of Oregon School of Law, 2024-05-01)

This Comment proceeds in five parts. Part I examines the importance and relationship between methane emissions and the agricultural livestock industry within the context of mitigating climate change. Part II provides an ...
Examining Anaerobic Oxidation of Methane in a Northern Peat Bog

McCullough, Laura (University of Oregon, 2020-02-27)

Globally, about one-third of annual methane (CH4) emissions from natural sources come from freshwater wetlands. Scientists need a strong understanding of CH4 cycling to predict how climatic shifts will affect future CH4 ...
Land Use Effects on Carbon Cycling in Oregon Coastal Wetlands

Blount, Keyyana (University of Oregon, 2018-04-10)

Pacific Northwest coastal wetland extent has been significantly reduced due to development. To understand the effects of land use change on carbon cycling in coastal wetlands, we compared soil carbon dynamics in restored, ...
Linking Microbial Community Structure to Ecosystem Function Using Microbiome Association Mapping and Artificial Ecosystem Selection

Morris, Andrew (University of Oregon, 2022-05-10)

Microbiomes mediate a variety of important ecosystem functions. However,it remains unclear what attributes of the microbiome are important for determining the rate of ecosystem functions. Past attempts to elucidate this ...
Magnetite and Manganese Dioxide Nanoparticle Amendment Impacts on Arsenic, Cadmium, and Greenhouse Gas Dynamics in Paddy Soil

Koeneke, Markus (University of Oregon, 2021-04-27)

Rice contamination by arsenic and cadmium is a well-documented challenge that impact billions of people globally. Our goal is to quantify the extent to which magnetite and manganese dioxide could be used as rice paddy ...
Modeling the Effects of Three-Dimensional Pore Geometry on Gas Hydrate Phase Stability

Irizarry, Julia (University of Oregon, 2015-08-18)

Porous media affect hydrate stability by forcing hydrate-liquid interfaces to form high curvature geometries and by forcing the molecules of the hydrate, liquid, and sedimentary particles that compose the medium to interact ...
Seasonal Dynamics of Methane Pathways Along a Hydrogeomorphic Peatland Gradient

McAllister, Steven (University of Oregon, 2016-10-27)

Northern peatlands occupy a very small proportion of the Earth’s surface but contain nearly a third of the world’s soil organic carbon. These wetland systems produce substantial fluxes of CH4, a potent greenhouse gas, and ...
Understanding Anaerobic Oxidation of Methane in a Climate-Manipulated Northern Peatland

Brunik, Kaitlin (University of Oregon, 2017-06-01)

Although peatlands cover < 3% of the Earth’s surface, they are among the most important terrestrial ecosystems partially because they are responsible for roughly 10% of global methane (CH_4) flux. The consumption of CH_4 ...
