Nutrient pollution may perhaps be one of the oldest water quality problems and has
recently been considered as one of the greatest threats to estuarine and coastal
waters. Excessive nutrient loads have had a vast array of impacts on estuarine and...

Oregon is in the midst of major
changes to the way it manages use of
the ocean off its shores. Consideration
for all stakeholder groups will contribute
to defensible decisions regarding
the use of ocean and coastal resources.
This relies on an...

The nearshore zone at Newport, Oregon was studied during the
period September, 1968 to August, 1969. Particular emphasis was
placed on those physical factors affecting the distribution of pulp mill
wastes discharged within the study area (referred...

The relationship between sea level and wind stress in a region of
known upwelling was studied for an eleven-month period during
1933-34.
Sea level data, obtained from observations taken by the Coast and
Geodetic Survey, were processed to remove...

The deglacial behavior of the sub-Arctic North Pacific is poorly constrained, with many published records suffering from limited age control due to extensive post- depositional biogenic carbonate dissolution. Potential alternative dating methods...

Atmospheric boundary layers become stably stratified at night over land when the surface becomes colder than the air layer above. In stable nocturnal boundary layers (SNBL), turbulence becomes weak and intermittent, terrain-induced phenomena such...

A satellite-derived Climatology of Global Ocean Winds (COGOW) on a 0.5° latitude
by 0.5° latitude grid is presented based on 5-years (August 1999 July 2004) of
measurements from the SeaWinds scatterometer that was launched on 19 June 1999
onboard...

During two cruises in February and June of 2003, the erodibility of
sediment along the western Adriatic Sea was measured using a "Gust erosion
chamber". In addition, the surficial sediment properties were characterized through
a suite physical and...

In the early 1980's the first evidence of biological alteration of basalt glass
(sideromelane) was published. Since that time additional evidence, including DNA
staining, isotopic abundance and chemical mapping, has come to light suggesting that...
