Researchers use descriptive Bayesian network analyses to examine how sediment supply, beach characteristics, and two species of beachgrass alter foredune morphology and patterns of sand accretion on U.S. Pacific Northwest foredunes.

This article provides an overview of a high school curriculum that teaches ocean acidification.

This study provides insight on ways to effectively communicate policy-relevant information about the deep sea to an audience that has little to no prior knowledge of the ecosystem, yet who will be responsible for making use decisions of this habitat.

This paper explores the variability of extreme water levels within the Quileute Indian Reservation on the Washington state coast to better understand the risk of the compounding impacts of various environmental forcing.

Mixed-methods study of citizen scientist volunteers explores the degree to which engagement, measured as time in the program, influenced volunteers motivation.

This study addresses the limits of probabilistic flood hazard assessment with the development of an emulator which replaces the simulator with a statistical representation that is able to rapidly predict estuarine variables relevant to flooding.

This sign warns boaters about invasive New Zealand Mudsnails and the places the mudsnails can be found in boats and gear.

Researchers aimed to understand the teenagers’ experience in science museums in a visit out of the school context

The purpose of this study is to understand how NOAA West Watch's content is used, by whom, and how the process of delivering the tool might be improved.

This trail guide covers the flora and fauna you may see along the one-mile Yaquina Estuary nature trail. The trailhead is located on the east of the Hatfield Visitor Center.

This video is about coring on the Salmon River Salt Marsh in Oregon.

This case study finds a need to transform short-term regional ocean condition forecast information into useful data products for a range of end users, considering their perceptions of uncertainty and risk associated with these forecasts.

With this study reserachers present a three program analysis suite that measures baleen whales and compensates for lens distortion and corrects scaling error to produce 11 morphometric attributes from sUAS imagery. The program is freely available.

Passive acoustic monitoring was used to investigate the spatial and temporal variations in the locations and foraging activity of harbor porpoises off the Oregon coast from May through October 2014.

This comprehensive high school curriculum teaches students about what causes ocean acidification, its impacts and solutions.

This video walks viewers through the upgrades made to the Hatfield Visitor Center in Newport, Oregon.

A lesson for grades 9-12 created in response to the large number of pyrosomes showing up off the Oregon coast.

This hands-on lesson uses salt marsh sediment cores from Pacific Northwest estuaries.

This website supports the Oregon Coastal Futures project.

This dissertation investigates the role of marine subsidies to dune ecosystem functions from local to meta-ecosystem scales along the U.S. Pacific Northwest coast.

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.
