▼ Acknowledgement Page I want to thank Honors program staffs, Jared Diener and Philip Frana, who were so supportive and helpful throughout this project. I also want to thank my professors in Architectural Design who dedicated their time and effort to make this project incredibly strong and unique. Also, I want to thank my parents who supported me undoubtably throughout my whole college career. This project would not have happened if it weren’t for these people that I mentioned above and I am forever thankful. Text This project is about how my memories, experiences, and emotions from my grandmother’s house can be translated into new unprecedented thresholds in the future. Why Thresholds? Because architects, engineers, and designers do not think at all about threshold while designing. Thresholds these days are just wooden doors and metal handles. It is sad and unfortunate because the most important element in architecture is threshold. It is the first space that you enter, the first thing you touch, and the first thing you see before you enter into this mysterious space that exists beyond. Thresholds should hint what kind of space lies beyond to people who have no idea. It is like meeting people for the first time. The first impression is the strongest impression that you can possibly make. Why my grandmother’s house? My grandmother’s house is special not only to me but in Korea. It is designed and built by my great grandfather. It has been in my family for generations and it is one of the few traditional Korean houses that is still privately owned. Korean government wants to make it a national treasure so it could be open to public. Also, thresholds in my grandmother’s house is well thought and designed successfully to portraits what lies beyond them. I picked 10 specific spots from my grandmother’s house that I love the most. From my memories, experiences, and emotions from those 10 spots, I designed 10 new thresholds that would exists in the future. Advisors/Committee Members: Evelyn Tickle, Sneha Patel, Ronn Daniel.

▼ This research thesis explores improving auditory perception through the use of stochastic resonance (SR), a phenomenon in which the throughput of non-linear signals is enhanced using additive noise. While SR has been successfully explored in a variety of perceptual channels (visual, tactile, vestibular), past psychoacoustic experiments have yielded conflicting results. This study aims to understand how SR can be observed in the auditory system accounting for individual differences. Two studies were carried out to investigate SR within the auditory system. Both studies observed how white noise magnitude influences perception of pure tone stimuli across the frequency spectrum. The Threshold Optimization Study aimed to correlate SR enhancement with a subject’s audiometric threshold, predicting that noise levels equal to the subject’s threshold at a specific frequency tone would yield the highest SR benefit. Ten subjects completed pure tone audiometry with and without noise. Observing auditory thresholds with subthreshold, at-threshold, and suprathreshold additive noise yielded insignificant results. The noise levels tested did not improve or worsen audiometric performance across the board, which led to changes in the experimental methodology, specifically the noise levels that were presented and signal administration. Using those changes a second Protocol Development Study was conducted to replicate the results found in past psychoacoustic studies. The additional study also aimed to observe SR, but expanded the noise spectrum to also find the masking that was not discovered in the first study. Four lab members completed pure tone audiometry with and without the presence of noise over a broad range of noise levels. A qualitative analysis suggests masking existed for frequencies with low thresholds given the noise levels that were tested. For some subjects, SR benefits may have been observed, but for others they did not appear to be present. With these small subject numbers, this study did not yield conclusive results. A discussion of the results, as well as, further improvements into the experimental methods is given. Applying these lessons learned, more accurate perceptual threshold testing can be conducted within the lab, allowing greater reporting confidence for future studies.

▼ The northern Pacific perhumid coastal temperate rainforest (PCTR) extends along the Pacific coast from central British Columbia through south-central Alaska. Soil hydrology is a dominant ecosystem control in the PCTR, affecting soil formation, vegetation distribution, biogeochemical cycling, and carbon storage. Despite the importance of soil hydrology to the ecosystem, there have been few studies investigating water table dynamics and runoff generation in the PCTR. In this study, we applied two methods to investigate this interaction across a replicated set of three common sub-catchment types spanning a range of landscape units. Over the summer and fall of 2013 we monitored sub-catchment discharge, water table position, and precipitation in order to measure catchment moisture balance and the interaction between water table and runoff. There was a strong non-linear response in the wet soil catchments (fen and forested wetland), with > 80% of runoff occurring above a threshold water table position. The hydrology of the upland sites appears to be controlled by shallow rock horizons. Despite cool summertime temperatures and frequent precipitation, catchments experience a moisture deficit during the summer months that is reflected in the water table positions and catchment runoff ratios. Because of the strong dependence of runoff on water table position, changes in seasonal moisture balance that affect the water table have the potential to cause large, non-linear changes in runoff generation and biogeochemical cycling. We also made use of an existing five year dataset from the same catchments to model catchment storage / discharge relationships as ordinary, non-linear, first-order differential equations. Performance of the models varied across sub-catchments, simulating discharge reasonably well in some (Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency 0.20 - 0.45) and poorly in others (Nash-Sutcliffe < 0). This difference in model performance appears to be the result of un-accounted for subsurface flow. Despite the failure of the model to recreate catchment functioning across all sites, an initial comparison between modeled storage / discharge relationships and observed water table and discharge showed a correlation between modeled and physical behavior.

▼ Up to 95% of orthodontic patients report pain during orthodontic treatment, with up to 10% of patients interrupting their treatment due to the pain experienced. Pain is highly subjective: there is a range of pain response among individuals undergoing orthodontic treatment, with some patients feeling high levels of pain and others just mild discomfort. The reasons for this variability are largely unknown. Objective: To investigate factors that may be associated with orthodontic pain experience. Methods: First, 107 participants were screened for pain response over 48 hours following placement of orthodontic elastomeric separators. Second, the highest (n=10) and lowest (n=10) pain responders were identified and data collected on age, ethnicity, sex, self-rated oral health, anxiety, mood, dental anxiety and fear, catastrophising, general sensitivity (cold) and tooth sensitivity. They also provided a saliva sample for Catechol-O-Methyltransferase (COMT) gene sequencing. Results: Statistically significant differences between high and low pain responders were identified with the Pain Catastrophising Scale (PCS), Dental Anxiety Scale (DAS) and Cold Pressor Tests. Multivariate analysis was carried out using a generalised linear model. The empty model showed that 39.3% of pain response type (high or low) is explained by the magnification subcategory of the PCS; once all other variables were controlled for, the adjusted model explained 80% of the variance in the magnification subscale of the PCS. Of the three single nucleotide polymorphisms of the COMT gene analysed, only rs6269 showed an association with pain responders’ haplotypes (albeit marginal). Conclusions: Pain catastrophising, dental anxiety and cold sensitivity appear to modify orthodontic pain experience. A few simple screening questions may help to identify patients at risk prior to commencing orthodontic treatment, so that patient-specific management strategies can minimise orthodontic discomfort.

▼ We study problems in extremal combinatorics motivated by Turan's Theorem and Ramsey Theory. In Chapter 2, we use Flag Algebras to study these problems. With Balogh, Lidicky, Pikhurko, Udvari and Volec, we gave the exact structures of permutations of [n] = {1,...,n} which maximize the number of monotone subsequences of length 4. With Balogh, Lidicky and Liu, we gave upper bounds on the number of edges of C4-free hypercubes and C6-free hypercubes. The n-dimensional Boolean lattice B_n denotes the partial ordered set whose elements are all subsets of [n] ordered by inclusion. A layer of B_n is a family of sets of the same size. We also gave upper bounds on the sizes of B_2-free subposets of three layers of B_n. In Chapter 3, we study a variation of both Turan type problems and Ramsey type problems. Let H be a graph and f(n) be a function. Sos and Erdos – Sos defined 'Ramsey-Turan' function RT(n,H,f(n) to be the maximum number of edges of an H-free graph on n vertices with independence number less than f(n). With Balogh and Simonovits, we answered a question from Erdos and Sos by proving that RT(n,K₅,o(√{n log n}))=o(n²). We also extended this result to several other K_ls and functions f(n). In Chapter 4, we study a sparse version of Turan type problems.The maximum 3-uniform hypergraphs that do not contain a copy of F5={abc, ade, bde}, sometimes called the generalized triangle, is tripartite. With Balogh, Butterfield and Lenz, we extended this result to the sparse random setting, proving that with probability tending to 1 the largest subgraph of the random 3-uniform hypergraph that does not contain F5 is tripartite. In Chapter 5, we study chromatic threshold, which was motivated by a variation of Turan type problems and introduced by Erdos and Simonovits. The chromatic threshold of a family of r-uniform hypergraphs F is the infimum of all non-negative reals c such that the subfamily of F comprising hypergraphs H with minimum degree at least c\binom{|V(H)|}{r-1} has bounded chromatic number. The problem of chromatic thresholds of graphs has been well studied, but there have been no previous results about the chromatic thresholds of r-uniform hypergraphs for r>=3. With Balogh, Butterfield, Lenz and Mubayi, we proved an upper bound on the family of F5-free 3-uniform hypergraphs. We also gave constructions to show lower bounds on more families of 3-uniform hypergraphs. Advisors/Committee Members: Balogh, József (advisor), Kostochka, Alexandr V.

▼ Higher visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is associated with higher levels of cardiometabolic risks factors. Bosch et al. (1) identified sex-specific total body fat percent thresholds above which VAT increased significantly in a population that was 70% White and 21% Black and ranged in age from 19-47 years. These thresholds were strongly correlated to increased cardiometabolic risk factors. The purposes of this study were to confirm Bosch et al. (1) and examine the effects of ethnicity on the percent body fat threshold in a wider age range. First, data were obtained from Black and White females (n=800) and males (n= 673), 19-47 years of age to identify sex-specific body fat thresholds. Second, an expanded analysis, included data from 1,756 females and 1,455 males, 18-75 years of age who were Asian (18.1%), Black (6.7%), Hispanic (19.8%) and White (55.4%). Piecewise regression was used to identify sex-specific thresholds in the Bosch replication. In the expanded data analysis, it was used to identify sex and ethnicity specific thresholds, whereas the expanded analysis examined sex and ethnicity specific thresholds. Results demonstrated, the threshold for females and males was 36.2% and 25.8%, respectively. The expanded analysis showed that ethnicity affected the percent fat threshold, particularly for Asian females. For females, the thresholds were 28.9% for Asian, 32.1% for Hispanic, 34.2% for White, and 35.6% for Black. For males the thresholds were 22.9% for White, 24.0% for Black, 24.3% for Hispanic, and 25.3% for Asian. While statistical comparison between the two studies and amongst the ethnicities could not be done, this study largely confirms the Bosch et al (1) thresholds. In addition, it shows that the Asian female threshold is lower, but thresholds among the other ethnicities are similar. This research is important because replication of studies with a different sample helps confirm or contradict previous findings and adding other variables, such as ethnicity, helps further explain why differences may occur.

A dismenorreia primária ou menstruação dolorosa na ausência de patologia pélvica é uma condição comum e muitas vezes debilitante considerada uma das queixas mais frequentes no dia-a-dia da clínica ginecológica, afetando entre 45 e 95% das mulheres que menstruam. Não há consenso na literatura sobre os limiares experimentais dessas mulheres. Na dor pélvica crônica, a diminuição dos limiares sensitivo e doloroso estão associados aos quadros de sensibilização central e hiperalgesia, necessitando de tratamento focado nesse quadro sindrômico. Se os limiares dolorosos das mulheres com dismenorreia seguirem um padrão compatível como o encontrado em mulheres com dor pélvica crônica, poderemos melhorar o tratamento dessas pacientes, abordando também as alterações neuroplásticas e do humor. Objetivo primário: Avaliar os limiares experimentais de voluntárias portadoras de dismenorreia primária moderada ou grave. Métodos e Procedimentos: Na entrevista, as participantes foram submetidas a uma avaliação psicométrica com as escalas EVA (escala visual analógica de dor), Questionário de McGill (analisa várias dimensões da dor), Escala de Ansiedade e Depressão para Hospital Geral (HAD), avaliação sócio-demográfica, antropométrica e ainda um questionário relacionado ao ciclo menstrual em geral, abordando ainda questões relacionadas a história familiar, absenteísmo no trabalho ou escola, uso e eficiência medicamentosa, prática e frequência de atividade física, entre outras. Em seguida, foram analisados os limiares sensitivo e doloroso através do aparelho de eletroestimulação nervosa transcutânea TENS e o limiar doloroso por meio de pressão transcutânea, algômetro. Resultados: Participaram do estudo 48 voluntárias divididas em dois grupos: Grupo Estudo, composto por 24 mulheres (com dismenorreia primária moderada ou grave) e o Grupo Controle composto por 24 mulheres (sem dismenorreia ou com dismenorreia primária leve). A mediana do limiar doloroso obtido através da estimulação nervosa transcutânea foi de 10,11mA no grupo de estudo e 11,92mA no grupo controle e na algometria de 1,86kg/cm² e 2,28kg/cm² respectivamente. Entre as mulheres com dismenorreia primária moderada ou grave 70 % relataram que a mãe ou irmã já sofreram ou sofrem de cólicas menstruais, 70 % não praticam nenhum tipo de atividade física, 58,3%possui algum grau de ansiedade pelo HAD e 12,5% de depressão pelo HAD, 87,5% fazem uso de medicação para dor durante o período menstrual e 33,3% faltaram de suas atividades nos últimos três meses devido a dismenorreia.

Estudamos a série de Mayer de um gás de Yukawa em duas dimensões. Introduzimos brevemente a noção de série de Mayer de um gás não-ideal através do uso de expansões em clusters e apresentamos motivações pelas quais o seu uso pode apresentar dificuldades. Introduzimos um formalismo algébrico que servirá de ferramenta alternativa para o estudo da convergência dessa série através do método dos majorantes via equações diferenciais parciais. Uma vez que o gás de Yukawa não é regular na origem, é preciso regulariza-lo para utilizar o método dos majorantes. Acredita-se que esta série (não regularizada) apresenta divergência do coeficiente de ordem 2k no regime de temperatura (recíproca) > k:= 8(2k-1)/2k por conta do colapso dos multipolos neutros contido nos clusters dessa ordem, e que neste regime, a retirada desses termos é suficiente para garantir a convergência da série remanescente. Por fim, estudamos a convergência da série de Mayer para um gás de Yukawa bidimensional quando a regularizacão é removida no intervalo < 16/3 e apresentamos uma extensão desse resultado para o regime < 6. Mostramos que haverá de fato divergência do coeficiente de ordem 2 da série, que pode ser regularizado enquanto < 6, garantindo a convergência da série com termo 2 omitido.

We study the Mayer series for the bidimensional Yukawa gas. We briefly introduce the notion of a Mayer series of a non-ideal gas using cluster expansions and present some motivations on the dificulties this formalism may present. An algebraic formalism is introduced in order to develop an alternative tool to study this series using a majorant method via partial diferential equations. As the Yukawa gas is not regular at the origin, it should be regularized for the majorant method to be applicable. It is believed that the non-regularized Yukawa series presents divergence on its coeficients of order 2k when the inverse temperature > k := 8(2k - 1)/2k due to the collapse of neutral multipoles belonging to clusters of this order and if we omit these coficients, the convergence is obtained. Finally we study the convergence of the Mayer series of a bidimensional Yukawa gas when the regularization is removed when < 16/3 and we extend these results to < 6. Its is shown explicitly that the coeficient of order 2 diverges but can be regularized if < 6, assuring the convergence of the remaining series when the coeficient of order 2 is omitted.

▼ A drip type rainfall simulator and an existing watershed study were used to assess relationships between runoff, infiltration, erosion and associated risk thresholds on a range watershed in Brazos County, Texas. The focus of the research was determining erosion risk associated with seasonal variations in precipitation and vegetation. The objectives were to (1) develop a climatic profile for Brazos County, Texas, (2) evaluate relationships between vegetative cover, infiltration, runoff, and climatic events, (3) quantify erosion/ runoff risk associated with measured vegetation, soil moisture, and climatic events, and (4) identify potential managerial thresholds for erosion risk management on similar range watersheds. The current year climatic profile showed the wettest season was summer with thirty-two percent of the precipitation coming from one rainfall event. Also, October through December was higher than the long-term rainfall average. Pair wise correlations identified season, initial time to runoff, percent litter, annual as the dominant species, soil moisture, amount to runoff and amount to storage as significant (p<0.05) variables affecting runoff and infiltration. Percent saturation and annuals as the dominant species were significant variables affecting sediment yield. During the current study, seasonal variations in precipitation patterns influenced runoff, infiltration, and sediment yield. Spring and summer had the highest infiltration rates while the largest runoff events were in fall and winter. The highest percent of soil saturation coincided with the largest runoff and sediment losses. Minimums of two centimeters (winter and fall) and three centimeters (spring and summer) initiated runoff. This rainfall threshold would be exceeded 20 percent of the time based on the climatic profile developed for Brazos County. Peak biomass production for the watershed site was 170.61 g/m2. This was above the recommended biomass threshold of 134.5 to 168.1 grams/m2 to minimize sediment loss for tallgrass rangeland. Annual sediment loss was 10.8 grams/m2, which is negligible. Additional research across a wider array of site variation is needed to identify appropriate thresholds for the Post Oak Savanna ecosystem. Advisors/Committee Members: White, Larry D.

▼ Sweet wines predate biblical times and the popularity of sweet wines continues to flourish today. Traditionally, the key to creating a sweet wine has been to stop fermentation before the yeast consumes all the grapes’ sugars. However, alternative practices have been adopted to better meet market demand for these products. Back-sweetening has become a common practice in which a sweetener is added to wine after fermentation is complete, creating a sweet, high alcohol wine. However, because there is limited information available about back-sweetening, many wineries may be making uninformed decisions about their back-sweetening practices. The goals of this thesis were to investigate the dose response functions for sucrose on perceived sweetness in wine and to determine the difference thresholds, as well as the Weber Ratios of sucrose, when back-sweetening white and red table wines with varying acidity levels. While sucrose is traditionally used to back-sweeten wine, there is a growing demand for sweet wines for calorie conscious consumers. Thus, a secondary goal was to determine the dose response functions for aspartame on perceived sweetness, as well as the difference thresholds and Weber Ratios of aspartame while back-sweetening a neutral white and red wine without high acidity. Practically, the data collected indicates winemakers have substantial latitude in reducing the amount of sucrose they add to back-sweeten wines before consumers will notice, greater than 20%. In addition, data collected shows similar results using aspartame to back-sweeten wine and practically that significant changes would need to be made for consumers to perceive a difference in sweetness. Finally, data supports the assertion that simple water based model systems do not always generalize to complex beverages.

▼ Monitoring and mapping the presence and/or intensity of an environmental hazard through space, is an essential part of public health surveillance. Radon, a naturally occurring radioactive carcinogenic gas, is an environmental hazard that is both the greatest source of natural radiation exposure in human populations and the second leading cause of lung cancer worldwide. Concentrations of radon can accumulate in an indoor setting, and, though there is no safe concentration, various guideline values from different countries, organizations and regions provide differing threshold concentrations that are often used to delineate geographic areas at higher risk. Radon maps demarcate geographic areas more prone to higher concentrations but can underestimate or overestimate indoor radon risk depending on the concentration threshold used. The goals of this thesis are to map indoor radon risk in the province of British Columbia, identify areas more prone to higher concentrations and their associations with different radon concentration thresholds and lung cancer mortality trends. The first analysis was concerned with developing a data-driven method to predict and map ordinal classes of indoor radon vulnerability at aggregated spatial units. Spatially referenced indoor radon concentration data were used to define low, medium and high classes of radon vulnerability, which were then linked to regional environmental and housing data derived from existing geospatial datasets. A balanced random forests algorithm was used to model environmental predictors of indoor radon vulnerability and predict values for un-sampled locations. A model was generated and evaluated using accuracy, precision, and kappa statistics. We investigated the influence of predictor variables through variable importance and partial dependence plots. The model performed 34% better than a random classifier. Increased probabilities of high vulnerability were found to be associated with cold and dry winters, close proximity to major river systems, and fluvioglacial and colluvial soil parent materials. The Kootenays and Columbia-Shuswap regions were most at risk. We built upon the first analysis by assessing the difference between temporal trends in lung cancer mortality associated with areas of differing predicted radon risk. We assessed multiple scenarios of risk by using eight different radon concentration thresholds, ranging from 50 to 600 Bq m-3, to define low and high radon vulnerability. We then examined how the following parameters changed with the use of a different concentration threshold: the classification accuracy of each radon vulnerability model, the geographic characterizations of high risk, the population within high risk areas and the differences in lung cancer mortality trends between high and low vulnerability stratified by sex and smoking prevalence. We found the classification accuracy of the model improved as the threshold concentrations decreased and the area classified as high vulnerability increased. The majority of the population… Advisors/Committee Members: Nelson, Trisalyn (supervisor), Henderson, Sarah B. (supervisor).

▼ The Stenger Principle describes the observation that when two tones of the same frequency are presented simultaneously, a single tone is perceived only in the ear in which the tone is louder. This principle underlies the Stenger Test, which is used to identify the presence of unilateral nonorganic hearing loss (NOHL). Minimum contralateral interference levels (MCILs), which can be used to estimate true hearing thresholds in individuals with unilateral NOHL, are also based on this principle. In this study, the Stenger Principle is used to examine MCILs and the correspondence of the MCILs to true hearing thresholds in 16 adults with normal hearing. In Part I of the study, subjects were asked to feign a unilateral hearing loss. Average MCILs were 12.5, 15.1, and 13.5 dB HL for 1.0, 2.0, and 4.0 kHz, respectively. These were obtained with nearly equal interaural stimulus levels. The average difference between MCIL and true hearing threshold was 7.6, 9.7, and 8.9 dB, respectively. In Part II of this study, subjects were asked to make lateralization judgments for simultaneously presented tones with varying interaural intensity differences. Individual subject ratings were compared to MCILs obtained in Part I. Although most subjects showed the Stenger Effect with a midline percept of the two tones, variability between subjects existed. In some cases the Stenger Effect was not apparent until the tonal image was pulled nearly to the "poor" ear. Because of the potential differences in response bias (a client may show the Stenger Effect with a small shift in the tonal signal away from the "good" ear or may require the tonal signal to be fully lateralized to the "poor" ear), clinicians cannot predict exact hearing thresholds. Rather, it is useful to describe a range within which the true threshold will be. The 90% ranges (5th and 95th percentiles) calculated in this study were approximately 1 and 17 dB. That is, the MCILs for the majority of the subjects were within ~ 1 and 17 dB of true hearing thresholds.

▼ Visitor use management (VUM) is the proactive and adaptive process for managing characteristics of visitor use and the natural and managerial setting using a variety of strategies and tools to achieve and maintain desired resource conditions and visitor experiences (IVUMC, 2018). For nearly 40 years, the application and operationalization of visitor use management has relied on a normative approach, which assumes that visitors to parks and recreation areas have shared attitudes and preferences about resource and social conditions. Visitor use management frameworks and the normative approach rely on defining management objectives, identifying indicators and thresholds for the visitor experience, monitoring change in recreation conditions, and adapting management strategies where necessary. This dissertation reexamines some of the scientific methods historically used to inform visitor use management decisions. This dissertation focuses on the development of indicators and associated thresholds, which has historically relied on visitor surveys, on-site interviews, and management expertise. Given the importance of incorporating the provision of quality visitor experiences into park and protected area planning, and the difficulties associated with understanding the nuances involved in shaping an experience, the purpose of this dissertation is to offer and explore unique techniques that may facilitate the development of indicators and associated thresholds. This dissertation first used visitor-employed photography to develop indicators of the wildlife viewing experience, where important visitor experience qualities emerged that were not found from survey or interview questions. This dissertation additionally offered a more efficient and perhaps more valid technique for defining thresholds for the indicator of people at one time (PAOT), which is used as a proxy to indicate use-levels and crowding. Results indicate that a combination of the traditional and novel approach may be appropriate. Lastly, this dissertation explored the phenomenon of displacement, which has historically been treated as a negative outcome of the visitor experience. The results of this suggest that displacement should be operationalized as an indicator of the visitor experience, rather than an outcome. This dissertation overall contributes to the development and application of the normative approach to protected area management and planning.

▼ Recreational boating is a popular activity on public waterways. Boaters enjoy a multitude of natural lakes and rivers, but these waterways are a limited natural resource. In some cases, crowding caused by high rates of boating participation has strained the capacity of this natural resource base, generating conflict between participants and environmental impacts. Therefore, waterway managers may develop regulations for the number or types of boats allowed at one time. This is often referred to as visitor capacity. With many waterways in the U.S. located in protected areas (PAs), their management are guided by legal regulations or statutory frameworks such as the Wilderness Act (1964) and the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (1968). Therefore, waterway managers need to develop and implement comprehensive visitor use strategies that cover various visitor types and address a wide range of possible impacts on resources and visitor experiences. In defining the quality of boating experiences, consideration is given to the safety and enjoyment of boaters. To better understand acceptable boating conditions, waterway managers need to investigate 1) the maximum amounts and types of boating use that an area can accommodate while achieving and maintaining the desired conditions and experiences (i.e., boating thresholds), and 2) how boaters respond to various weather and climatic conditions. This dissertation represents a substantial contribution to the outdoor recreation field because past studies about the on-site experiences of recreational boaters in public waterways are often dated or underexplored. Specifically, the influence of weather on recreation-particularly water-based recreation-is often assumed rather than demonstrated. Boaters are often exposed to the elements of weather with minimal protection, therefore it is important to understand how weather influences boating use levels. Additionally, weather and climate research has mainly focused on tourism while paying little attention to recreation. With regards to boating thresholds, they are in some cases from sources that may be out of date, with some being more than 20 years old. These thresholds are still being used by agencies to manage boating. Also, by simulating current and projected recreational boat use levels, waterways managers may begin to better understand boaters’ patterns of use and how they intersect with empirically-based thresholds for boating. In the dissertation two distinct sites (i.e., reservoirs from a hydro-power project, and a wild and scenic river system) were selected. A quantitative approach was applied in this study. Surveys, field cameras and Global Positioning System devices were used to collect data. The study findings update and provide context-specific standards for boating density based on boaters’ perceptions. Additionally, the findings can help waterway agencies better manage short-term boater demand because of changes in weather, and adapt to long-term climate changes in visitor use… Advisors/Committee Members: Jeffrey C Hallo, Kenneth F Backman, Lincoln R Larson, J Adam Beeco, Matthew T.J Brownlee.
