Estuarine Dissolved Oxygen History Inferred from Sedimentary Trace Metal and Organic Matter Preservation
Using sediment cores from two Oregon coast estuaries, researchers were able to measure a period from 1680 AD to present and reconstruct the historical water column oxygen in the estuaries.

Evaluation of a Habitat Suitability Model to predict the geospatial distribution of Olympia oyster presence in Yaquina Bay, Oregon
This project evaluates the use of a habitat model, developed using geospatial raster layers of salinity, substrate, and elevation, in Yaquina Bay, Oregon to predict locations of Olympia oyster presence.

From Dissolution to Solution: New approaches to teaching ocean acidification
This article provides an overview of a high school curriculum that teaches ocean acidification.

Identifying Tsunami Sand in Salt Marsh Stratigraphy
This hands-on lesson uses salt marsh sediment cores from Pacific Northwest estuaries.

Incorporating a probabilistic climate emulator into an agent-based coastal futures forecasting system
This presentation is on the development of effectively adapting strategies for coping with future coastal hazards using Envision..

Microplastic concentrations in two Oregon bivalve species: Spatial, temporal, and species variability
Researchers quantified microplastic types, concentrations, anatomical burdens, geographic distribution and temporal differences in Pacific oysters and Pacific razor clams from 15 Oregon coast sites.
