A new high-frequency turbulence measuring instrument, MicroSoar, has been developed, tested, and used to make scalar variance dissipation rate measurements. MicroSoar was mounted on the undercarriage of SeaSoar, a depth-programmable winged platform, and towed by a ship, at speeds up to 7 kt, in a depth range of the sea...
The West Fork Cow Creek Watershed assessment has two goals:
1) To describe the past, present, and potential future conditions that affect water quality and fish habitat within the West Fork Cow Creek Watershed; and
2) To provide a research-based action plan that suggests voluntary activities to improve fish habitat...
The Upper Cow Creek Watershed assessment has two goals:
1) To describe the past, present, and potential future conditions that affect water quality and fish habitat within the Upper Cow Creek Watershed; and
2) To provide a research-based action plan that suggests voluntary activities to improve fish habitat and water...
The Tiller Region assessment has two goals:
1) To describe the past, present, and potential future conditions that affect water quality and fish habitat within the Tiller Region; and
2) To provide a research-based action plan that suggests voluntary activities to improve fish habitat and water quality within the Tiller...
The South Umpqua River Watershed assessment has two goals:
1) To describe the past, present, and potential future conditions that affect water quality and fish habitat within the South Umpqua River Watershed; and
2) To provide a research-based action plan that suggests voluntary activities to improve fish habitat and water...
The Lower Cow Creek Watershed assessment has two goals:
1) To describe the past, present, and potential future conditions that affect water quality and fish habitat within the Lower Cow Creek Watershed; and
2) To provide a research-based action plan that suggests voluntary activities to improve fish habitat and water...
The OSU Perspective was developed to provide assessment and other information about our students and programs. We hope that by making this information available to OSU faculty and staff, we can stimulate conversation that helps to keep students and student learning at our core.
The Perspective is published quarterly both...
Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO) wind and convection anomalies are locally amplified over the northeast Pacific warm pool during June–November. Composite analysis using NCEP reanalysis data indicates that perturbation available potential energy (PAPE) production through the positive correlation of intraseasonal temperature and convective diabatic heating anomalies supports the local intensification of MJO-related...
Coastal waters, lakes, and streams in the Pacific Northwest provide a variety of seafoods including salmon and many other fish, clams, oysters, shrimp, and crab. You can enjoy these delicacies throughout the year if you preserve them when supplies are abundant. Canning is a popular method for preserving seafood. Products...
Many pesticide active ingredients are “offpatent” and are available from several manufacturers under various brand names. While this trend has increased pesticide options, and in some cases lowered product cost, it
also has led to confusion over legal uses because of the various product labels available. Active ingredients are registered...
The characteristics of acoustic echoes from six species of deep-dwelling (up to 400 m) Hawaiian Lujanid snappers were determined by backscatter measurements at the surface. A broadband linear frequency-modulated signal and a short dolphinlike sonar signal were used as the incident signals. The fish were anesthetized and attached to a...
The target strengths and swimbladder morphology of six snapper species were investigated using broadband sonar, x rays, and swimbladder casts. Backscatter data were obtained using a frequency-modulated sweep ~60–200 kHz! and a broadband, dolphinlike click ~peak frequency 120 kHz! from live fish, mounted and rotated around each of their three...
Oregon has had the highest hunger rate among all U.S. states for four of the last five years. In this report, we re-examine the data on which these rankings were computed and explore how Oregon’s food insecurity and hunger rates vary across demographic groups.
