Cooperative product development between researchers and commercial fishermen to find applications for ocean condition forecasting technology

Creator:: Duncan, Colin
Abstract:: This is a case study of the cooperative development of an ocean condition forecasting tool by Oregon commercial fishermen, Oregon State University (OSU) scientists, and OSU student software engineers. Ocean condition forecasting models developed by OSU scientists were used to create an online tool to assist decision-making for fishermen. This...

A petrogenetic model for the Caribbean large igneous province

Creator:: Krawl, Kyle A.
Abstract:: The Caribbean Plateau is an oceanic large igneous province (CLIP). A widely accepted model for LIP petrogenesis proposes that these large bodies of igneous rock are formed by decompression melting associated with upwelling mantle plume heads during the initiation of hotspot activity. According to this classical model, petrogenesis occurs over...

New Foraminifera-Based Proxies to Trace Changes to the Organic and Inorganic Carbon System Since the Last Glacial Maximum

Creator:: Fritz-Endres, Theresa
Abstract:: The production of carbon and export to deep ocean sediments is linked to carbon partitioning between the ocean and atmosphere and is a key driver of climate change over the glacial-interglacial transition. Yet conflicting reconstructions create barriers to understanding changes to the carbon system over this important climate transition. Production...

A New Record of Planktic Foraminifera Community Response to Marine Heatwaves in the Northeast Pacific

Creator:: M. Kelsey Lane
Abstract:: Marine heat waves are forecasted to increase in frequency and intensity under future climate scenarios, but little is known about the impact of these events on the one of the most commonly used proxies of ocean temperature - foraminiferal assemblages. This research explores the planktic foraminifera community along the Newport...

Dose of reality : what can we learn from educational and veterinary pet owners to guide more effective environmental stewardship of pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs)?

Creator:: Lam, Jennifer
Abstract:: Improper disposal of unused human and pet pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are an emerging public and watershed health threat around the world. Although some waste stream reduction programs such as PPCPs "take-back" exist, there is limited research in current programs on reducing the entry of PPCPs into the...

Vertical Structure of the Lower Troposphere in a Changing Arctic

Creator:: Watkins, Daniel M.
Abstract:: The Arctic climate system is changing dramatically as a response to rising atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. Key indicators of Arctic change include thinning and retreating of Arctic pack ice, thawing permafrost, greening tundra, and rising surface temperatures. The structure of the atmospheric boundary layer influences and is influenced by processes...

Horizontal Variability of Internal Waves and Tides: Seafloor Pressure Measurements and Idealized Resonant Modes

Creator:: Thomas, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: Internal waves and tides are a dominant source of current variability, and they are intermittent and hard to predict. Internal waves can have significant variability in alongshore structure. However, previous studies on internal waves have focused primarily on their cross-shore structure and propagation. For example, while alongshore-propagating superinertial internal tides...

Enhancing Small Sample Foraminifera Analysis through Innovative Mass Spectrometry Techniques: A Pathway to Deeper Paleoceanographic Insights

Creator:: Meyer, Grace
Abstract:: Stable oxygen and stable carbon isotopes of foraminifera are widely applied in paleoceanographic reconstructions. Oxygen and carbon isotopes are typically measured using pooled sample analysis (i.e., the combination of several shells) or single-shell analysis (typically restricted to heavier shells that weigh above 10 µg). With pooled sample analysis, where many...

The Occurrence of Coastal Sea Ice Leads and their Impact on the Beaufort Gyre

Creator:: Lewis, Benjamin J.
Abstract:: Leads are long fractures wide enough for a ship to travel through the ice pack. Sea ice acts as a barrier between the ocean and the atmosphere, whereas leads allow the transfer of heat and moisture between the two. Leads play a role for marine mammals and are hunting grounds...

Atmospheric and Sea Ice Circulation Patterns During Lead Formation at Point Barrow

Creator:: Jewell, MacKenzie E.
Abstract:: In winter and spring, ice-coast interactions driven by winds and ocean currents cause sea ice fractures (leads) to form repeatedly along Arctic coastlines. These events are often associated with rapid and expansive changes in sea ice drift and state that are challenging to predict and represent in models. We investigate...
