College of the Environment Graduate and Undergraduate Publications
Around the world, wind energy is becoming an increasingly popular renewable alternative to fossil fuels. The U.S alone has installed roughly 35% of the world's wind capacity over the past four years, a capacity double that of recent coal and nuclear installation combined. Washington State's total amount of installed wind capacity is among the top five in the country (AWEA, 2011). Cascade Community Wind has acquired a conditional use permit to construct the first large, 2.5-megawatt wind turbine in Whatcom County on Galbraith Mountain, near Bellingham, Washington. The 2.5 megawatts of wind capacity is expected to provide enough energy to …

Both action alternatives replace the current POMA …
Resiliency Strategies In Transnational Families: Case Study With Highland Guatemalan Women, Katie M. Fawell
Resiliency Strategies In Transnational Families: Case Study With Highland Guatemalan Women, Katie M. Fawell
WWU Graduate School Collection
The Maya from highland Guatemala are now involved in transnational migration that separates families. Most commonly men migrate first to the United States, leaving women and children behind. This leads to new challenges for women and children in Guatemala who must adapt to male absent households. One such community that faces these challenges is Aguacatán, Guatemala. The women in the Guatemalan homeland community, Aguacatán, are often married to men who have immigrated to the United States. Whatcom County, Washington is the destination for many families from Aguacatán due to both conflict within Guatemala and the need for families to give …
Maps As Discourse In The Borderlands: An Analysis Of The Cartographies Of Power On The U.S.-Mexico 'Frontier', Austin Rose
Maps As Discourse In The Borderlands: An Analysis Of The Cartographies Of Power On The U.S.-Mexico 'Frontier', Austin Rose
WWU Graduate School Collection
The territorial conquest involved in making and regulating an international boundary has been central to the creation of many nation-states, as well as to the production of various social categories around those boundaries, particularly citizenship and nationality, but also race, ethnicity, and class. This research aims to analyze how cartographic representations of the U.S.-Mexico border function to communicate social difference. Drawing ideas from critical cartography and social constructivism, I highlight the ways in which maps of this particular border space are not merely objective representations, but rather embody powerful political discourses that have constitutive effects on the identities, and thus …
The Impact Of Magnetic Resonance Imaging On Juror Perceptions Of Guilt, Christopher M. (Christopher Michael) Jackson
The Impact Of Magnetic Resonance Imaging On Juror Perceptions Of Guilt, Christopher M. (Christopher Michael) Jackson
WWU Graduate School Collection
This study examined the impact of MRI-based evidence on juror perceptions of guilt in a criminal case. Jury eligible undergraduates read one of three mock trial summaries of a murder case wherein MRI evidence was manipulated: (1) MRI evidence with accompanying neuroimages, (2) MRI evidence without accompanying brain images, or (3) no MRI evidence. The proportion of guilty verdicts rendered was statistically similar across all conditions. In addition, participants did not list MRI evidence as the most influential piece of evidence for their verdict. Based on the results of this study it appears that MRI-based evidence and neuroimages do not …
Self-Silencing Among Punjabi Women: The Interplay Of Cultural Adaptation, Depression, And Domestic Violence, Madhura Bhadra
Self-Silencing Among Punjabi Women: The Interplay Of Cultural Adaptation, Depression, And Domestic Violence, Madhura Bhadra
WWU Graduate School Collection
Silencing the self theory predicts that women in oppressive relationships tend to experience loss of self through self-silencing, and are therefore more prone to depression. Past studies have found that both abuse and immigration are associated with higher levels of self-silencing and depression. The current study investigated the psychometric properties of the Silencing the Self Scale (STSS) and the Beck Depression Inventory II (BDIII), as well as the validity of the STSS subscales for a specific cultural population. Fifty-five Punjabi women completed the STSS, the BDI-II, and participated in in-depth focus groups for a mixed methods approach to a culturally …
Avenues Of Mutual Respect: Opening Communication And Understanding Between Native Americans And Archivists, Cara S. Bertram
Avenues Of Mutual Respect: Opening Communication And Understanding Between Native Americans And Archivists, Cara S. Bertram
WWU Graduate School Collection
The Protocols for Native American Archival Materials have called upon archivists to acknowledge and respect Native Americans' needs for privacy and control over their culture. While many archivists have protested against the restriction of Native American archival materials, the morals and ethics within the profession are not far from the needs of Native communities. This thesis will examine imperial archive, archival theory, current copyright laws, writings on archival ethics, and case studies of archives and Native communities. This investigation will demonstrate the practicality and application of the Protocols for Native American Archival Materials, and its importance to the archival profession …
Environmental Stress In The Correctional Workplace, Jeff Brummel
Environmental Stress In The Correctional Workplace, Jeff Brummel
WWU Graduate School Collection
Experiencing stress in the work environment is common for most occupations, and some occupations experience more work-related stress than others. Environmental factors including lighting, temperature, air quality and noise, can affect workers' stress levels in subtle ways often overlooked during typical workrelated stress evaluations. The present study examines the relationship between these environmental factors and their effects on the stress levels of corrections officers. Survey respondents (N=45) evaluated two correctional facilities in the Pacific Northwest for environmental quality and the incidence of Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) symptoms such as headache, fatigue, nausea, lethargy and other health-related issues. Baseline environmental measurements …
Obscured Geographies Of The Emerald City: A Study On Gentrification In Seattle, Wa, Jonah D. White
Obscured Geographies Of The Emerald City: A Study On Gentrification In Seattle, Wa, Jonah D. White
WWU Graduate School Collection
The city of Seattle, Washington has received widespread acclaim both in popular literature and scientific research for its sustainable development efforts to improve quality of life and economic vitality. As a reflection of overall quality of life, the city frequently appears on lists of "Best Places to Live" and boasts a unique combination of cultural amenities and recreational opportunities. The city is also home to a robust high-technology economy with a highly-educated, professionalized workforce consistent with postindustrial city status. However, Seattle has not always been an attractive place to live as evidenced by notable population decline between 1960 and 1980. …
Use Of The First Rib In The Age-At-Death Assessment Of Adult Female Skeletal Remains, Zachary A. Sullivan
Use Of The First Rib In The Age-At-Death Assessment Of Adult Female Skeletal Remains, Zachary A. Sullivan
WWU Graduate School Collection
The accurate assessment of age-at-death from skeletal remains is a key factor in both forensic anthropology and bioarchaeology. Several methods of determining age at death are currently employed that utilize the age specific changes of several anatomical regions of the skeleton. However, as skeletal remains are often incomplete, it is useful to develop new methods based on previously unevaluated anatomy. This makes it more likely that sets of incomplete skeletal remains may include some feature that can be used to determine age-at-death. DiGangi et al. (2009) proposed that three anatomical regions of the first rib demonstrate age-correlated changes that can …
Religious Devotion And Partisan Intensity: Measures Of Religious Faith As Proxy Measures Of Political Affect, Janice K. Ward
Religious Devotion And Partisan Intensity: Measures Of Religious Faith As Proxy Measures Of Political Affect, Janice K. Ward
WWU Graduate School Collection
For decades now, the nature of independent learners has been a source of debate and dispute. Are those people who self-identify as independent learners skeptical, critical thinkers, or are they actually closet partisans who are simply denying their partisanship. Questions of religiosity are used as proxies to measure an individual's inclination towards affect in general. The question asked is whether independent learners show lower levels of religiosity than both strong and weak partisans.
Walking With Wapiti: Measuring Late Holocene Climatic Variability Through Cervus Elaphus Abundance And Stable Isotope Analysis In The Gulf Of Georgia Region, Angus M. D. (Angus Michael David) Tierney
Walking With Wapiti: Measuring Late Holocene Climatic Variability Through Cervus Elaphus Abundance And Stable Isotope Analysis In The Gulf Of Georgia Region, Angus M. D. (Angus Michael David) Tierney
WWU Graduate School Collection
Native hunters of the Northwest Coast valued the local wapiti subspecies (Cervus elaphus roosevelti) greater than any other land animals as a source of both food and raw materials for tools. Wapiti population size depends on the quantity and quality of their preferred foods: easily digestible, high protein plants that occur most abundantly in meadows and thickets, particularly after spring and summer rains. Changing climate regimes affected the productivity of these foods but there is disagreement about whether climate periods with long dry summers helped or hindered wapiti populations on the Northwest Coast. Lepofsky et al. (2005) suggests wapiti abundance …
Late-Holocene Mammal Use In The Salish Sea: A Case Study From The Cherry Point Site (45wh1), Northwestern Washington, Matthew A. (Matthew Adam) Dubeau
Late-Holocene Mammal Use In The Salish Sea: A Case Study From The Cherry Point Site (45wh1), Northwestern Washington, Matthew A. (Matthew Adam) Dubeau
WWU Graduate School Collection
Mammal remains from the Cherry Point site (45WH1) are analyzed to provide information about the nature of prehistoric mammal use in coastal sites in the Gulf of Georgia region from the Locarno Beach period (3,500 to 2,000 BP) to European contact (250 BP). Expectations regarding the taxonomic structure of the 45WH1 mammalian assemblage in the context of regional patterns are developed and evaluated. Specific hypotheses relating to the transition from a generalized forager lifeway to a highly developed marine collector adaptation are tested. Thirty-four test cuts (2 x 2 meter excavation units), or approximately half of the cuts excavated at …
The Processing And Content Of Family Narratives In Emerging Adulthood: Gender, Family Functioning, And Associations With Identity Development, Sarah Morrison-Cohen
The Processing And Content Of Family Narratives In Emerging Adulthood: Gender, Family Functioning, And Associations With Identity Development, Sarah Morrison-Cohen
WWU Graduate School Collection
The aim of the present study was to examine the family narratives of emerging adults. While previous studies have found that interpretative narrative content in adolescents' family narratives is related to identity development, this relation has not been explored in emerging adulthood. One hundred and fifty-eight university students, most in their first year, were asked to provide written narratives of times for the family that were happy, difficult, or transitional, as well as a narrative about themselves commonly told by the family. I examined the relationship between interpretive processing and identity within and across these narrative types, controlling for family …
Motion Picture Film As A Government Record: Framing Films Within Archival Theory And Preparing For The Digital Future, Heidi Holmstrom
Motion Picture Film As A Government Record: Framing Films Within Archival Theory And Preparing For The Digital Future, Heidi Holmstrom
WWU Graduate School Collection
Governments have created and used motion picture films since soon after their invention, but government archivists have an uneasy relationship with films. Historically, the traditional archival literature has overlooked films in favor of a focus on textual records, while the film archive literature is unconcerned with the archival concept of the record. To define the scope of the problem, this thesis demonstrates the paucity of archival literature addressing motion picture film as a government record. Moving forward, motion pictures are examined through a lens of archival theory and set in their rightful place among other formats of government records. It …
11,000 Years On The Rogue River: Prehistoric Occupation Of The Stratton Creek Site (35jo21), Josephine County, Oregon, Catherin M. (Catherin Maria) Bialas
11,000 Years On The Rogue River: Prehistoric Occupation Of The Stratton Creek Site (35jo21), Josephine County, Oregon, Catherin M. (Catherin Maria) Bialas
WWU Graduate School Collection
This thesis presents results of analysis of materials from 35JO21, a deep stratified site on an elevated terrace on the Rogue River. An excavation by Oregon State University in 1992 revealed stratified cultural deposits to over three meters below the surface with some projectile point types that had been dated elsewhere to 8,000 years ago. No radiometric dates were obtained, however, and only a brief report was prepared. The goal of this thesis was to perform the necessary analyses to define site components and to confirm or disconfirm the proposed early age of the deepest material. Existing stratigraphic profiles were …
Transboundary Watershed Management In The Fraser Lowlands: Bertrand Creek And Fishtrap Creek, Ryan Anaka
Transboundary Watershed Management In The Fraser Lowlands: Bertrand Creek And Fishtrap Creek, Ryan Anaka
WWU Graduate School Collection
Bertrand Creek and Fishtrap Creek are transboundary watersheds located in the eastern portion of the Fraser Lowlands border region. Population growth, land use practices, and urban development in British Columbia (BC) and Washington (WA) are pressuring surface and groundwater resources. As a result, questions of transboundary watershed management have arisen. Management of transboundary water resources creates dynamic governing scenarios, as mismatched levels of government and regulatory fragmentation both within and between neighbouring nations results in a confusing governing scenario. Consequently, cooperation between nations regarding transboundary resource management may be difficult to formulate. However, this thesis is based on the assumption …
Effects Of Social Support Visibility On Cardiovascular And Emotional Responses During An Acute Stress Task, Julie A. Kirsch
Effects Of Social Support Visibility On Cardiovascular And Emotional Responses During An Acute Stress Task, Julie A. Kirsch
WWU Graduate School Collection
In contrast to invisible (unacknowledged) social support, visible social support tasks produce exaggerated negative emotional responses. Processes such as social comparison and negative social evaluation confound operationalizations of visible social support. This study tested social support visibility independent of negative social evaluation and social comparison processes, and included cardiovascular responses. Female undergraduates (N = 73) participated in an anticipatory speech task. A female confederate provided either visible or invisible social support, or no social support. Negative emotions were not affected by the social support manipulations. Cardiovascular outcomes were tested by incorporating a series of theoretically driven planned contrasts into tests …
Finding Common Ground: When The Hippie Counterculture Immigrated To A Rural Redwood Community, Lisa Gruwell Spicer
Finding Common Ground: When The Hippie Counterculture Immigrated To A Rural Redwood Community, Lisa Gruwell Spicer
WWU Graduate School Collection
Youth of the 1960s took a collective stand against the establishment, challenging hegemonic forces intent on turning an informed citizenry into mere consumers; hypocrisy from the highest levels of government (Harrington 1962) was challenged by students, college enrollment was unprecedented (Roszak 1968). Unable to cause change at the top, scores of young people dropped out of mainstream culture in search of a better way to live (Miller 1991). Back-to-the-landers are the surviving members of the counterculture movement (Jacob 1997). Different from Sixties' political radicals or utopian commune hippies, the back-to-the-land movement is evidence of counterculture success and provides an ideological …
Identity And Icons: Conflict And Consequences Surrounding The University Of North Dakota's "Fighting Sioux" Name And Logo, Jorelle Grover
Identity And Icons: Conflict And Consequences Surrounding The University Of North Dakota's "Fighting Sioux" Name And Logo, Jorelle Grover
WWU Graduate School Collection
Controversy surrounds the University of North Dakota's (UND) logo and nickname, The Fighting Sioux, generating a conflict with the neighboring American Indian tribe [Native American], the Standing Rock Sioux, dating back to the 1960's (Phillips and Rice 2010:511). Previous research done on this topic left a large discrepancy regarding the concept of cultural identity attached to the conflict, developments that have taken placed since 2005, and more recent developments. The question I examine is why this issue incorporates such differing opinions. I examined the concept that the root of this controversy lies within cultural identities which are linked to the …
Cascadian Cross Border Cooperation Challenged: The Case Of The Shared Waters Alliance, Riley Jones
Cascadian Cross Border Cooperation Challenged: The Case Of The Shared Waters Alliance, Riley Jones
WWU Graduate School Collection
The process of globalization is resulting in a proliferation of political, economic, ecological, and cultural ties that extend across the borders of nation-states. Compounded with the fact that central governments are less interested or capable of addressing every cross border issue, subnational actors are more likely to engage in cross border diplomacy. The border region within Cascadia, a region at the western edge of the US-Canadian border, is not unique in this respect and has been experiencing a rise in subnational cross border interactions. However, cross border actors Cascadia are not fully empowered to engage institutionally or formally. Obstacles such …
Business Archives And Web 2.0: Increasing Archival Access And Making The Archives And Asset, Doug Mann
Business Archives And Web 2.0: Increasing Archival Access And Making The Archives And Asset, Doug Mann
WWU Graduate School Collection
This thesis explores the ways business archives can use Web 2.0 applications for both internal and external archival processes. As corporate archives create websites and in some cases blogs and other Web 2.0 applications (Facebook and Flickr pages), they have the opportunity to increase access to their holdings, but they also risk becoming a potential liability to the corporation through privacy and copyright lawsuits, as well as accidental divulgence of company secrets or publication of materials that are then used to create a bad image of the corporation. This thesis questions whether business archives can utilize Web 2.0 applications to …
No Dust In Cyberspace?: The Effects Of Internet Technology On Perceptions Of Archives, Caitlin Patterson
No Dust In Cyberspace?: The Effects Of Internet Technology On Perceptions Of Archives, Caitlin Patterson
WWU Graduate School Collection
Drawing on research into digital technologies and their effects on society and archives, as well as research on the public image of archives, this thesis examines whether technological changes, specifically the Internet, have had any effects on public perceptions of archives and if so to determine the nature of those effects. It relies on a survey to measure possible effects of Internet technology on perceptions of archives. Findings suggest that there are a number of ways in which the Internet may be affecting perceptions of archives, including prompting both increased expectations for the provision of digital information and materials and …
Pedestrian Perceptions: A Study Of The Mount Pleasant Neighborhood In Vancouver, B.C., Canada, Jeffery M. Guinn
Pedestrian Perceptions: A Study Of The Mount Pleasant Neighborhood In Vancouver, B.C., Canada, Jeffery M. Guinn
WWU Graduate School Collection
Most short distance travel, less than three miles, is being completed by single occupancy vehicles in North America, which leads to many negative effects on the physical environment and citizens' quality of life. Therefore, understanding influences on travel behavior, more specifically non-automotive travel behavior, is crucial. Many researchers and city planners have touted specific factors for encouraging walking and biking, but the body of work to support such notions remains small and fragmented. This study was developed to test all previously identified motivating factors for walking and biking and their relative influence over one's choice. The Mount Pleasant neighborhood in …
