Researchers investigate what are the sources of organic matter sequestered in minerogenic salt marshes, and the sources change through time.

Research finds microplastics and other anthropogenic particles in the edible tissue of U.S. West Coast seafood species.

This article highlights a few of the programs and tools that Oregon Sea Grant has developed and challenges readers to join the effort to increase resilience throughout the nation.

This article reports how the Journey for Aspiring Students Pursuing Ecological Research program uniquely integrates research with STEM education.

Researchers found data from wind tunnel experiments indicate there is a spatial lag from the canopy leading edge to a downwind location where sediment deposition first occurs.

This case study examines how Oregon's Latinx coastal community perceives critical facilities and identifies new locations valued by this community as places to go in time of need.

Researchers review hydrologic, geomorphic, ecologic, and social conditions in the Willamette River basin through time—including pre-settlement, river development, and contemporary periods—and offer a future vision for consideration.

This study focuses on the EPA's Safer Choice standard, a certification program that validates specific cleaning products.

This research proposes a method to assess the distribution of environmental resistance of stream ecosystems to biological invasions by coupling multi-stage habitat potential models for non-native species.

Researchers' findings use fine-scale species distribution models to assess space-use conflicts in dynamic marine ecosystems and can be used to guide fisheries management to reduce entanglement risk in Oregon.

Based on the Human-Centered Design, researchers conducted in-depth interviews to discover employee needs, evaluated data and proposed organizational strategies to improve employees' experiences.

By collecting and assessing microparticle loads in zooplankton prey and fecal samples of gray whales, researchers estimate their consumption rate of microparticles.

The results of this study provide insight into how the microbiome of Pacific oysters may affect their early development, which can inform hatchery and nursery practices.

In this article, researchers propose a novel concept called “regenerative gatekeeping” to challenge institutional inertia, cultivate belonging, accessibility, justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion in committee work.

Research results suggest that probiotics are effective at preventing bacterial infections in oyster larvae and can significantly improve their performance using a single application early in their development.

Researchers investigate whether fishery-dependent time series can be used to fill in spatial and temporal data gaps where scientific, fishery-independent data are not available.

This study calculated how long it may take roads and bridges on Oregon coast to open after and earthquake and tsunami.

To understand the physiological impacts of vessel traffic on baleen whales, researchers investigated the adrenal stress response of gray whales to variable vessel traffic levels through an assessment of fecal glucocorticoid metabolite concentrations.

Black rubber bands were the most common neck-entangling material, followed by plastic packing bands.

Researchers analyze the social interactions of families in an interactive exhibition on biodiversity at the Museum of Science and Life (Brazil), and how the presence of human mediation influenced the experience of family visits to the exhibit.

Researchers grew a clonal strain of red macroalga on immobilized mesh panels in a raceway pond and achieve high density. They also measured the CO2 uptake in real time and the cumulative CO2 capture over 23 days.

This study used a mental model approach to explore the potential value of racial/ethnic and gender diversity in marine and fisheries science professions from a cognitive deep-level diversity perspective.

This study is on freshwater mussel ecology in Oregon's coastal watersheds. It analyzes stream survey data, co-varying habitat characteristics, and summarizes mussel distribution and host fish co-occurrence.

This survey investigated Oregonians' perception of the risks and economic benefits of exporting natural gas on the West Coast. It also looks at the role of socio-demographic, political ideology, and place-based factors in shaping these perceptions.

Researchers sampled 16 coastal watersheds in Oregon for current-use water-borne herbicides commonly used in forestland vegetation management. Models predicted south coast sites have higher than average herbicide concentrations, which aligns with findings.
