Spring 2012
Decades of fish introductions into mountain lakes have altered invertebrate communities. I assessed the current status of fish populations and their effects on crustacean zooplankton communities by sampling 37 lakes in the mountain parks, where stocking practices had been halted over 25 years...

Maintaining balance is controlled by two different processes: feedforward and feedback control. Feed-forward control is used prior to performing voluntary movements whereas feedback control is used to correct for unexpected perturbations. Studies suggested that age-related changes in postural...

Ice surface temperature, albedo, and surface elevation change of glaciers and ice caps of the Queen Elizabeth Islands, Nunavut, Canada, 1995-2015.
DownloadFall 2017
Inter-annual variability in glacier and ice cap surface mass balance in the Queen Elizabeth Islands (QEI), Arctic Canada, is driven primarily by variability in summer melt. Mean summer (June-August) QEI glacier surface temperatures (LSTs) and shortwave broadband black-sky surface albedo (BSA) are...

Elevation dependent landscape processes in rapidly warming sub-Arctic mountains: influences of snow, temperature and vegetation
DownloadFall 2015
The loss of spring snow in the Northern Hemisphere has been dramatic. From 1967 to 2008 snow cover decreased by 14% in May and 46% in June, with a simultaneous reduction in snow cover duration of 6 – 8 days per decade in both summer and fall. These effects have been particularly pronounced in...

Making Meaning in Modern Yoga: Methodological Dialogues on Commodification and Contradiction
DownloadFall 2012
This study explores the meaning of commodification in modern yoga and finds that commodification often contradicts yoga’s ethical principles. Two different analyses of this phenomenon also produce contradictory accounts. One analysis attempts to understand how practitioners experience...

Aesthetic Economies of Growth; Energy, Value, and the Work of Culture After Oil offers a cultural history of energy after the industrialization of fossil fuels. My argument is that the political economy of fossil fuels, and the climate change it generates, is anchored to energy’s aesthetic...

Tree size and tree height are two essential quantities to measure structure and productivity of forest stands. As such, they encourage predictability in changes among tree growth patterns and are fundamental to developing forest management plans. Tree height and size (commonly measured as...

Dolomitization in the Uteland Butte Member of the Eocene Green River Formation, Uinta Basin, Utah
DownloadSpring 2018
The lacustrine Green River Formation (GRF) is an important oil-producing formation in the Uinta Basin, Utah (USA). In recent years, the unconventional carbonate reservoirs in the Uteland Butte member (UBM), base of the GRF, have been targeted because their estimated oil and gas resources. The...

Recent research indicates climate change will be amplified in Polar Regions, which will cause decreases to sea ice thickness and extent throughout the Arctic. Polar bears (Ursus maritimus) will be directly affected by changes to Arctic sea ice conditions because they rely on the ice substrate...

Local-Scale Drivers of Spatial Patterns and Demographic Rates of Conifer Species in a Forest Chronosequence in Coastal British Columbia
DownloadSpring 2017
Growth, mortality and recruitment are the fundamental demographic processes driving changes in forest structure and dynamics. Rapid changes observed in many forests globally have imposed serious threats to ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration, biodiversity and hydrology, emphasizing...
