Adaptive Meets Precautionary: Navigating Risk and Rules in Collaborative Marine Renewable Energy Permitting Processes

Creator:: Burright, Jeffrey D.
Abstract:: Despite its promise as a potentially beneficial new source of energy, the ocean-based renewable energy industry is still in its infancy, and like any new idea there are many unknowns with the potential to affect both people and our natural environments. A permit for marine renewable energy (MRE) must cut...

Perceptions of a Changing Ocean: Resilience and Oregon's Commercial Fishing Community

Creator:: Haugen, Brianna I.
Abstract:: The complex challenges that Oregon’s commercial fishing community faces are mainly driven by four sources of change: climate change, change in management regulations, societal shifts, and market trends. Challenges include increasing competition for ocean use, management decisions that prioritize economic efficiency over community values, and an increasingly uncertain environment. The...

Marine Low Clouds : Radiation, Turbulence, and Forecasting

Creator:: Verlinden, Kathryn L.
Abstract:: High-resolution ship-based observations of a nearly uniform stratocumulus deck in the southeast Pacific during 17 days of the 2008 VOCALS regional experiment elucidate radiation and turbulence in the marine boundary layer (MBL). A new method for prescribing observations-based cloud properties to the Rapid Radiative Transfer Model is presented and applied...

Detection of Physical and Biological Fronts in the Northern California Current System and the Drivers Behind Their Seasonal to Interannual Variability

Creator:: Jamil, Aliya L.
Abstract:: Oceanic fronts mark the boundary between two water masses and are often sites of complex bio-physical processes and multi-trophic level interactions, making them particularly important features in marine ecosystems. As global climate change induces multi-scale shifts in the driving physical mechanisms of fronts, spatiotemporal tracking of frontal variability can aid...

Communicating oceanographic research through film : the role of film in helping scientists develop and meet their broader impacts goals

Creator:: Madlener, Saskia D.
Abstract:: Funding agencies, specifically the National Science Foundation (NSF), are placing particular emphasis on the societal relevance and broader applications of scientific research, otherwise known as Broader Impacts (BIs). Scientists are required to address the BIs merit review criterion in their research proposals or they will not get funded. However, many...

The Environmental, Economic, and Social Factors that Contribute to the Importance of the Pacific Razor Clam (Siliqua patula) Fishery for Oregon Coastal Communities: A Northern Oregon Case Study

Creator:: Baker, Laura C.
Abstract:: Pacific razor clams (Siliqua patula) are narrow oblong bivalves that can be found in sandy habitats along the western coast of the United States, from Alaska (Aleutian Islands) to southern California (Pismo Beach). In Washington state, the razor clam fishery has been documented to be an important contributor to the...

Understanding the Contribution of a Seafood Processing Sector to Community Resilience: The Case of Tillamook County

Creator:: Beaullieu, Jennifer M.
Abstract:: Seafood processing is a sector of the seafood supply chain in which individuals and communities along Oregon’s coast rely on for food, livelihood, economic, and cultural relationships. Many coastal resilience studies focus on the seafood harvest (fishing) communities leaving the seafood processing sector relatively understudied. The objective of this thesis...

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...

Detection, classification and ecology of acoustic scattering layers

Creator:: Cade, David Edmund
Abstract:: Acoustic scattering layers of biological origin have been observed for nearly 70 years across the world’s oceans. The organisms that comprise these layers are known to be important features in most oceanic ecosystems, providing a vital trophic link between small phytoplankton grazers and larger species. There are many aspects of...

Petrologic Investigations into the Magmatic Processes That lead to Au, Ag, and Base Metal Fertility: Insights from Pebble, Alaska and the Emigrant Pass Volcanic Field, Nevada

Creator:: Olson, Nansen H.
Abstract:: Magmatic-hydrothermal ore deposits are giant geochemical anomalies in the earth’s crust most often generated by normal magmatic terrestrial processes. They are often associated with oxidized and hydrous intermediate to highly evolved magmas that have concentrated metals and have the necessary components to efficiently extract and transport them as ascending magmatic-hydrothermal...
