Submarine earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and ambient noise in the Northeast Pacific

Creator:: Haxel, Joseph H.
Abstract:: Passive hydrophone technologies and a variety of acoustic methods are applied in the deep-ocean and shallow water coastal environments of the northeast Pacific. A catalog derived from U.S. Navy regional hydrophone array recordings of acoustic T- phases from seafloor earthquakes is examined, describing space/time patterns through empirical orthogonal function analysis...

Volatiles and Geochemical Fingerprinting of Plagioclase-Hosted Melt Inclusions from Mid-Ocean Ridge Lavas: Determination of Depth of Crystallization and Melt Composition in the Lower Crust

Creator:: Kotash, Alisa K.
Abstract:: The global mid-ocean ridge system is the largest magmatic system encompassing over 75% of the Earth’s total volcanism. As magmas ascend through the vertically variable oceanic crust, melts begin to crystallize and diversify and subsequently erupt at the surface. The interpretation of these erupted products observed on the seafloor requires...

The Oregon Nearshore Research Inventory Project : the importance of science and the scientific research community in marine spatial planning

Creator:: Sherman, Kate
Abstract:: The purpose of Oregon's Nearshore Research Inventory (NRI) project was to inventory and map the current and future use of Oregon's nearshore environment by the scientific research community for use in Oregon's marine spatial planning process. Spatial and qualitative data on the use of Oregon's ocean and coast by the...

Timescales and tectonics of oceanic plateaus : long-term evolution of Ontong Java Nui and Rio Grande Rise

Creator:: Davidson, Peter C.
Abstract:: Oceanic plateaus are regions of overthickened oceanic crust and are often thought to form from the interaction of mantle plumes with oceanic lithosphere. These regions can cover vast areas of the ocean basins and represent a highly elevated magmatic flux relative to normal mid-ocean ridge spreading. Oceanic plateaus are considered...

Influence of upwelling-season coastal currents on near-bottom dissolved oxygen concentrations over a submarine bank

Creator:: Adams, Katherine A.
Abstract:: Wind-driven coastal upwelling brings subsurface water onto the central-Oregon shelf after the spring transition each year. This cold and salty source water is oxygen-poor, yet above the hypoxic threshold, dissolved oxygen < 1.4 ml l⁻¹. Once on the shelf, dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations of upwelled near-bottom waters are modified by...

On the Volcanic and Geodynamic Evolution of the Shatsky Rise and the Louisville Seamount

Creator:: Heaton, Daniel E.
Abstract:: Large igneous provinces (LIPs) and intraplate seamounts reflect of anomalous mantle melting and illuminate interior processes of the Earth. These features are in all ocean basins and show the mantle’s evolution over time, then can provide information on plate tectonic processes, such as plate motion over time, spreading ridge formation,...

“We’re not masters of anything” : personal values and masculinities in agricultural decision making

Creator:: Cameron, Olivia Z.
Abstract:: The agricultural sector is one of the largest contributors to global climate change but is also one of the most vulnerable to its impacts. Farmers are at increasing risk of livelihood loss, which produces risks for their physical and emotional wellbeing on a global scale. Swift and effective adaptation is...

Empirical Analysis of Processes Affecting Drainage Flows and Inversions in a Forested Mountain Landscape

Creator:: Malek, Ali
Abstract:: The objective of this dissertation was to understand the physical mechanisms affecting inversion events in a complex forested mountain landscape. This work was motivated by the long-term studies of climate at the Andrews Forest, short-term studies of vertical temperature, light, wind, and moisture gradient in old-growth trees, and interest in...

Effects of Dissolved Oxygen, Temperature, and Dietary Carbon Sources on the Condition of Juvenile English Sole (Parophrys vetulus) from the Oregon Coast

Creator:: Stowell, Michelle A.
Abstract:: Observations of the Oregon coast’s physical oceanography over the last few decades have revealed falling dissolved oxygen levels associated with seasonal upwelling, as well as rising water temperatures. In extreme cases, these changes have been associated with die-offs, redistribution, and decreased abundance and diversity of benthic fish and invertebrates. Many...

Evaluation of Compartmentalized Aquifers in the Walla Walla Subbasin of Oregon Using Isotopic and Geochemical Tracers

Creator:: van Stolk, Courtney A.
Abstract:: The Walla Walla Subbasin (WWSB) in Oregon is underlain by formations of the extensive Columbia River Basalt Group (CRBG) which have been deformed by post-Miocene folding and faulting. Extensive irrigation with groundwater from these basalt groups, as well as sedimentary aquifers and surface water diversions from the Walla Walla River,...
