Cold Seep Epifaunal Communities on the Hikurangi Margin, New Zealand: Composition, Succession, and Vulnerability to Human Activities

Creator:: Bowden, David A., Rowden, Ashley A., Thurber, Andrew R., Baco, Amy R., Levin, Lisa A., and Smith, Craig R.
Abstract:: Cold seep communities with distinctive chemoautotrophic fauna occur where hydrocarbon-rich fluids escape from the seabed. We describe community composition, population densities, spatial extent, and within-region variability of epifaunal communities at methane-rich cold seep sites on the Hikurangi Margin, New Zealand. Using data from towed camera transects, we match observations to...

Metagenomic and metatranscriptomic inventories of the lower Amazon River, May 2011

Creator:: Satinsky, Brandon M., Fortunato, Caroline S., Doherty, Mary, Smith, Christa B., Sharma, Shalabh, Ward, Nicholas D., Krusche, Alex V., Yager, Patricia L., Richey, Jeffrey E., Moran, Mary Ann, and Crump, Byron C.
Abstract:: Background: The Amazon River runs nearly 6500 km across the South American continent before emptying into the western tropical North Atlantic Ocean. In terms of both volume and watershed area, it is the world’s largest riverine system, affecting elemental cycling on a global scale. Results: A quantitative inventory of genes...

Cupric Oxide (CuO) Oxidation Detects Pyrogenic Carbon in Burnt Organic Matter and Soils

Creator:: Hatten, Jeff and Goñi, Miguel
Abstract:: Wildfire greatly impacts the composition and quantity of organic carbon stocks within watersheds. Most methods used to measure the contributions of fire altered organic carbon–i.e. pyrogenic organic carbon (Py-OC) in natural samples are designed to quantify specific fractions such as black carbon or polyaromatic hydrocarbons. In contrast, the CuO oxidation...

The Power of Three: Coral Reefs, Seagrasses and Mangroves Protect Coastal Regions and Increase Their Resilience

Creator:: Guannel, Greg, Arkema, Katie, Ruggiero, Peter, and Verutes, Gregory
Abstract:: Natural habitats have the ability to protect coastal communities against the impacts of waves and storms, yet it is unclear how different habitats complement each other to reduce those impacts. Here, we investigate the individual and combined coastal protection services supplied by live corals on reefs, seagrass meadows, and mangrove...

Coastal protection and conservation on sandy beaches and dunes : Context-dependent tradeoffs in ecosystem service supply

Creator:: Ruggiero, Peter, Seabloom, Eric W., Hacker, Sally D., Biel, Reuben G., and Cohn, Nicholas
Abstract:: Managing multiple ecosystem services (ESs) across landscapes presents a central challenge for ecosystem-based management, because services often exhibit spatiotemporal variation and weak associations with co-occurring ESs. Further focus on the mechanistic relationships among ESs and their underlying biophysical processes provides greater insight into the causes of variation and covariation among...

Capitalizing on Oregon’s Offshore Freshwater Bounty REnewable Food Energy Water on Land and Sea (REFEWLS)

Creator:: Blessing, Jacob M.
Abstract:: REFEWLS - REnewable Food Energy Water on Land and Sea Nexus This project will explore the connections between food, energy, and water uses along Oregon's mid coastal regions with a emphasis and focus on Newport. On average Newport uses approximately 2,000,000 gallons of water per day, but in the tourist...

Effects of estuary characteristics and tsunami waveforms on transported sand sheets

Creator:: Armstrong, Emma M.
Abstract:: The details of the 1700 Cascadia Subdction Zone earthquake and tsunami can be better constrained using data from tsunami sand sheets, provided knowledge of the waveform, estuary geometry and bed roughness controls on the deposition pattern of the sand sheet. In this study, we use the hydrodynamic and sediment transport...

Persistent spatial structuring of coastal ocean acidification in the California Current System

Creator:: Washburn, L., Russell, A., Menge, B. A., Hill, T., Cheriton, O., Nielsen, K. J., McManus, M. A., Feely, R. A., Gouhier, T., Byrne, R. H., Friederich, G., Sanford, E., Hacker, S., Chan, F., Blanchette, C. A., Gaylord, B., Barth, J. A., Sevadjian, J., Hofmann, G., and Chavez, F.
Abstract:: The near-term progression of ocean acidification (OA) is projected to bring about sharp changes in the chemistry of coastal upwelling ecosystems. The distribution of OA exposure across these early-impact systems, however, is highly uncertain and limits our understanding of whether and how spatial management actions can be deployed to ameliorate...

Daily Snowpack Fate Data Supporting New Metrics for Snow in a Warming Climate: Indicators for the National Climate Assessment

Creator:: Hu, J. Michelle
Abstract:: Snowpack impacts and trends in precipitation regimes are investigated for the mountainous western United States from water years 1984–2016. The vast majority of snow trend studies utilize undifferentiated air temperature records, which do not segregate between days with and without precipitation and effectually dilute temperature trends relevant for snowpack monitoring....
