Developing a Drought Metric with Water Managers

Creator:: Moruzzi, Danielle L.
Abstract:: Though numerous drought metrics have been developed by the research community, adoption of these metrics by water managers has been limited. The reasons for this vary, but some include mismatches in time scales and spatial scales between the metric supplied and the operational decisions (e.g. water managers often work within...

What's that on the beach? Designing a Protocol for the Identification and Reporting of Stranded Marine Fish, Squid, and Turtles Using the Oregon Coast as a Proof-of-Concept

Creator:: Asson, Danielle and Asson, Danielle C.
Abstract:: It is not unusual to see stranded or washed-up marine animals and birds along any coastline. Various networks nationwide exist to report marine mammals and sea birds, yet, we have been unable to find a network in Oregon or nationally to report other stranded marine animals, namely fish, cephalopods, and...

Management Applications of Remotely Sensed Dynamic Seascapes: Two Case Studies

Creator:: Klajbor, Willem C.
Abstract:: Dynamic seascapes, which are classified using a combination of remotely sensed data and model output, represent a potential tool for dynamic ecosystem-based management in marine systems. This work explores the utility of seascape classification in the context of marine resource management by examining two case studies: one involving biological relationships...

Utilizing cooperative fisheries research to monitor and understand harmful algal blooms along the Oregon coast

Creator:: Gilliland, Raquel C.
Abstract:: Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are a problem for coastal communities, the fishing industry, and coastal organisms. Pseudo-nitzschia spp. is a regularly occurring diatom in Oregon’s coastal waters. At times, Pseudo-nitzschia spp. can facultatively produce domoic acid, a neurotoxin that can bioaccumulate in the food chain. While regular shore-based sampling provides...

Oceanographic Drivers of Northern California Current Phytoplankton Communities and their Fatty Acid Composition: Implications for Northwest Fisheries

Creator:: Smoak, Rebecca T.
Abstract:: Micro-plankton are a crucial component of pelagic food webs, responding rapidly to environmental changes, and providing a first step in the acquisition and transfer of nutrients to life in the ocean. In addition to the uptake of carbon, phytoplankton provide essential fatty acids (FAs) that can limit the growth of...

Kinematics of the Columbia Hills Anticline and the Warwick Strike-Slip Fault, Yakima Fold and Thrust Belt, Washington, USA

Creator:: Woodring, Danielle N.
Abstract:: Discrete fault systems accommodate both N-S contraction and dextral shear in concert with clockwise rotational deformation of the North American plate above the Cascadia Subduction Zone. In Washington, the Yakima Fold and Thrust Belt (YFTB) accommodates N-S contraction as a series of ENE-WSW trending thrust faults and folds. NW-striking, predominantly...

The Data Stream: Assessing the Flow of Real Time Marine Science Data from Research Vessel to the Classroom

Creator:: Miller, Danielle N.
Abstract:: Today’s technology-based society makes information more accessible than ever, in turn creating a growing demand for a workforce that has the skills necessary to utilize data. Contributing to this influx of data is Oregon State University (OSU), who was selected to guide the design and construction process of three Regional...

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...

Intraseasonal Oscillations of ~20 days Revisited: The Jet Stream and its Ecological Implications along the Oregon Coast

Creator:: Herweck, Kendra
Abstract:: Intraseasonal oscillations in the atmosphere-ocean system can affect weather patterns and regional ecosystems. In turn, these oscillations can be affected by climate variability, resulting in additive and/or non-linear responses of regional ecosystems to climate forcing. In the Northern California Current, a strong correlation was identified between the location of the...

Dynamic seascapes : a quantitative framework for scaling pelagic ecology and biogeochemistry

Creator:: Kavanaugh, Maria T.
Abstract:: Understanding and modeling microbial responses and feedbacks to climate change is hampered by a lack of a framework in the pelagic environment by which to link local mechanism to large scale patterns. Where terrestrial ecology draws from landscape theory and practice to address issues of scale, the pelagic seascape concept...
