A thesis on how sediments can track estuarine water quality through the use of geochemical and biological proxies.

Thesis focused on identifying watersheds with the greatest potential for salmon and steelhead recovery and implementing the removal of multiple barriers within those watersheds.

A thesis focused on how natural disasters could result in unnecessary loss of life and disproportionate suffering to families and communities if evacuation plans are not in place or understood by the public.

A semiannual newsletter covering selected Oregon Sea Grant research projects and activities and dedicated to promoting discovery, understanding, and resilience for Oregon coastal communities and ecosystems.

A series of four online videos discussing how practices, techniques, and management strategies impact drought in Oregon.

Marine debris lesson plans that include hands-on activities.

A video about Project Piaba, a sustainable aquarium fish initiative located on the Rio Negro tributary of the Amazon River.

A blog focused on systems biology, which combines interactions and feedbacks occurring across multiple biological levels.

A thesis focused on the potential role of economic development plans in addressing the resilience of local economies to natural hazards.

A report evaluating the process to site a wave energy test facility and recommendations for future efforts.

A map with information on Coos Bay, North Bend, and Charleston, OR.

A curriculum for grades 4-8 focused on water.

An overview of myxozoan disease dynamics in the context of climate change, and an illustration how these might be predicted over the next several decades by developing a case study of disease dynamics of C. shasta in the Klamath River, California.

A semiannual newsletter covering selected Oregon Sea Grant research projects and activities and dedicated to promoting discovery, understanding, and resilience for Oregon coastal communities and ecosystems.

Land use is likely the key factor governing variations in sediment accumulation.

Effects on the total radiation stresses due to presence of random waves.

An understanding of jellyfish behavior can help explain jellyfish distributions and trophic impacts in a productive upwelling system.

This study evaluated current hatchery and management practices that may influence the ability of Pacific steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) to perceive or respond to geomagnetic fields.

The appropriate use of disaggregated economic data not only improves the accuracy and robustness of economic analyses, but also extends the existing economic models to address new aspects of the issue. This dissertation consists of three essays.

The results from this research add to the literature on women’s roles in the US and provide needed attention to their contribution to the well-being, resilience, and adaptive capacity of Oregon’s evolving fishing industry.

In the past two decades, occurrences of summertime upwelling-driven low dissolved oxygen (DO) events, or hypoxia, have increased along the northeast Pacific coast.

This case study in Oregon can help advance ecosystem-based management off the coast of Oregon if decision makers and researchers are connected to communicate data gaps and scientific information.

The research presented here focuses on applying new cultivation and analytical methodology to marine cyanobacteria and the relatively unexplored microbial communities inhabiting deep sea-hydrothermal vents (DSV).

A series of online videos about some of the occupations and activities comprising the working waterfronts of the Oregon Coast.

This video combines rare color-film footage of the great Indian fishery at Celilo Falls on the Columbia River with public radio reports from 1990-91 about the listing of certain salmon populations under the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
