Land Use and Climate Impact on Sediment and Nutrient Loads Into Lake Ashtabula, North Dakota, USA
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Lake Ashtabula continues to be listed as impaired water body by the USEPA due to excessive nutrients. A Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model was developed for the Lake Ashtabula watershed to estimate the sediment ... -
Land Use and the Human-Environment Interaction on Olosega Island, Manu'a, American Samoa
(North Dakota State University, 2011)The human-environment relationship has often been characterized as one of human adaptation. This particular view has now come into questions as critiques have shown that the relationship is complex and dynamic. In archaeology, ... -
Landfill re-morial : a postmodern reclamation of the City of Fargo landfill
(2015)This thesis takes a quantitative look at closed landfills to determine a feasible and sustainable solution that can be used in the City of Fargo Landfill, which is expected to close between 2019 and 2023 without a post-closure ... -
The Landing Park of the Mid-American Steel: Bridging the Past and Future Through Soundscape Analysis
(North Dakota State University, 2024)Good soundscape quality in parks can only be provided with a thorough understanding of the complex relationships among sound, environment, and individuals. This study explores visitors' perceptions of the urban park ... -
Laser-Assisted Advanced Assembly for MEMS Fabrication
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) are currently fabricated using methods originally designed for manufacturing semiconductor devices, using minimum if any assembly at all. The inherited limitations of this approach ... -

(North Dakota State University, 2019)You’re Next (2011) and Hush (2016), feature women who at first glance resemble stereotypical final girls. However, throughout their respective films, Erin (You’re Next) and Maddie (Hush) break the expected binary outcome ... -
Latching on to Information: Effects of Information-Seeking Behavior on Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Recommendations on breastfeeding in the United States suggest that infants should be exclusively breastfed for six months with continued breastfeeding in conjunction with complementary foods for at least one year. However, ... -
Late Pleistocene Mountain Glacier Equilibrium Line Altitudes and Paleoclimate Reconstruction in the Great Basin
(North Dakota State University, 2022)This thesis presents new reconstructions of paleoglacier surfaces and Equilibrium Line Altitudes in nine mountain ranges in the northeastern Great Basin during the Last Glacial Maximum. Improved methods for paleoglacier ... -
Late Quaternary Glacier and Climate Change in the Northeastern Great Basin
(North Dakota State University, 2021)This thesis presents a cosmogenic 10Be exposure chronology for glacial moraines within the Baker Creek valley alongside water balance and climate modeling of Pluvial Lakes Franklin and Clover. These records further limit ... -
