Sauvie Island lies at the confluence of the Columbia River and the Willamette River near
Portland, Oregon. Flooding, erosion, and deposition of sediments have been part of the
natural evolution of the island. However, with the construction of...

Twelve earthquakes off the Oregon and Northern California
coasts were used in this research to study whether faulting associated
with these quakes was of the San Andreas type as observed in
California. The first motions of the incident P and S...

The purpose of this thesis is to provide a first look at the spatial and temporal
distributions of dissolved organic material (DOM) off the Oregon coast of North America.
While this paper is not a comprehensive examination of these distributions,...

Starved cells of Ant-300, a psychrophilic marine Vibrio, maintained
binding and transport systems for glutamic acid, arginine, proline, and
leucine. The uptake of these amino acids was inhibited by the uncoupler
2,4-dinitrophenol indicating that...

The purpose of Oregon's Nearshore Research Inventory (NRI) project was to
inventory and map the current and future use of Oregon's nearshore environment by the
scientific research community for use in Oregon's marine spatial planning process....

Declines or extinctions of the native intertidal estuary blue mud shrimp, Upogebia pugettensis, have been observed or are suspected in all of its populations over the species’ range. These declines are associated with the introduced Asian bopyrid...

Weak-wind flow in the nocturnal boundary is one of the most poorly understood problems in the field of meteorology. The understanding of weak-wind flows is essential for the improvement of regulatory dispersion models which are currently rendered...

We present a new, non-flux corrected AOGCM, GENMOM, that combines the GENESIS version 3 atmospheric GCM (Global Environmental and Ecological Simulation of Interactive Systems) and MOM2 (Modular Ocean Model version 2) nominally at T31 resolution....

For several decades, annually recurring blooms of the photosynthetic ciliate Myrionecta rubra have been observed in the Columbia River estuary in late summer. In an effort to understand the dynamics of these blooms, we investigated the genetic...

The Hyperspectral Imager for the Coastal Ocean (HICO) is the first spaceborne hyperspectral sensor designed specifically for the coastal ocean and estuarial, riverine, or other shallow-water areas. The HICO generates hyperspectral images,...

Retreat of glacier ice from Nares Strait and other straits in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago after the end of the last Ice Age initiated an important connection between the Arctic and the North Atlantic Oceans, allowing development of modern...

Alongshore flow in the direction of propagation of coastal trapped waves can result in upwelling at the shelfbreak. The intensity of this upwelling can be comparable in magnitude to wind-driven coastal upwelling, with its associated ecological...

Melt inclusions trapped in phenocrysts provide a unique picture of magma systems prior to modification by crustal processes. However, post-entrapment crystallization complicates their interpretation. Re-heating the phenocryst to the temperature of...

Video measurements of wave runup were collected during extreme storm conditions characterized by energetic long swells (peak period of 16.4 s and offshore height up to 6.4 m) impinging on steep foreshore beach slopes (0.05–0.08). These conditions...

Water circulating through oceanic lithosphere extracts large quantities of heat, affecting magmatic, tectonic, geochemical, and microbial processes. Numerous estimates for the amount of hydrothermal heat extraction have been made on the basis of...

We examine the thermal effects of seamount subduction. Seamount subduction may cause transient changes in oceanic crust hydrogeology and plate boundary fault position. Prior to subduction, seamounts provide high-permeability pathways between the...

In the summer of 2007, physical measurements including velocity from acoustic Doppler current profilers, surface gravity wave heights measured acoustically, and temperature from thermistor chain arrays were collected along- and across- the mid to...
