A procedure for model-assisted climate impact assessment is
developed. The approach combines data from observations and
atmospheric general circulation models (GCNs), and provides the basis
for a potentially valuable means of using information...

Simple parameterizations of dune erosion are necessary for forecasting erosion potential prior to an oncoming storm. Dune erosion may be parameterized in terms of the elevation of the total water level (composed of surge, tide, and wave runup)...

Deterministic source signature deconvolution is applied to the
processing of marine wide angle and vertical profiler data with air-gun
sources. Optimum results are obtained with a source signature
measured by stacking the signal reflected from a...

During the summer and fall of 1982, personnel from the Geophysics
Group in the School of Oceanography at Oregon State University conducted
an aeromagnetic survey in the northern Oregon Cascades to
assess geothermal potential and study the thermal...

The seismicity at the northern section of the Gorda Ridge has been
studied with Ocean Bottom Seismographs. Nearly one hundred earthquakes
were located with RMS travel time residuals less than 0.5 seconds.
Most of these events lie within or near...

The OSU global coupled atmosphere/ocean general circulation
model (A/O GCM) has been used to simulate the present (lxCO₂)
climate and to investigate a CO₂-induced (2xCO₂) climate change.
Previous analysis of the lxCO₂ simulation showed distinct...

Seismic properties (P, S velocities and Poisson's ratio) of
young (0.75 m.y.) and mature (110 m.y.) oceanic crust are obtained
by studying explosive refraction data collected in the Pacific Ocean
using ocean bottom and downhole seismometers. A...

Much work is presently being done concerning small scale heterogeneities in the
earth's crust. These heterogeneities range from pores in sedimentary rocks up to
fluctuations in the density and seismic constants of the earth's crust with scale...

A brief tilt and strain survey was conducted in the Krafla-Namafjall area in the North of Iceland during August of 1979 in order
to study the feasibility of applying solid earth tidal observations
in the exploration of volcanic geothermal systems....

On November 6, 1988, two strong earthquakes (Mw: 7.0 and 6.8) separated
by about 13 minutes occurred in Yunnan Province, China. The aftershocks located
by Kunming Telemetered Seismic Network form a lineament approximately 120 km
long and 20 km...

The Gorda Escarpment (40.4° N and from 126° W to 124.7° W) is a topographic
high which is the eastern portion of the Mendocino Transform Fault. The Vizcaino Block is the anomalously shallow portion of the Pacific plate immediately south of the...

In this thesis, we present the first detailed, long-term seismotectonic studies of oceanic
ridge-transform systems. The proximity of the Juan de Fuca plate to a network of
broadband seismic stations in western North America provides a unique...

The wind and thermodynamic fields associated with eastern
Atlantic cloud clusters are studied using radiosonde data from
the Global Atmospheric Research Program Atlantic Tropical Experiment
(GATE). These data are from the gridded set of winds...

The dynamical role of mesoscale eddies in the ocean general
circulation is investigated using eddy-resolving quasigeostrophic
(QG) and primitive equation (FE) models which are parametrically
identical. The results of both QG and FE numerical...
