These four items document the 2010-2011 permitting process to stabilize the eastern edge of the Hatfield Marine Science Center property. During late 2006, erosion forced the closure of the HMSC public estuary trail. In March 2007, an erosion control project using a gravel beach or "dynamic revetment" resulted in the...
Cognitive and other neural processes emerge from the interactions be- tween neurons. Major advances have been made in studying networks in which the interac- fions occur instantaneously by means ofgraded synapses (Guckenheimer and Rowat, I 997). In other networks, the interaction between neurons involves time-delayed signals (action potentials or spikes)...

This annotated bibliography was prepared for the Salmon Anchor Habitat Work Group. This group was formed by the Oregon Department of Forestry to review and evaluate the Salmon Anchor Habitat Strategy as directed by the 2003 Oregon Legislature. The Salmon Anchor Habitat Strategy is a component of management plans developed...
Long-term, naturally occurring cycles can cause significant shifts in marine
ecosystems referred to as regime shifts. While the new regime can be as
diverse and ecologically acceptable as that which it replaced, individual
species may completely disappear or be greatly depressed when a regime
shift occurs. In this work we...
Conservation and management of North American West Coast fisheries
