Seismic wave attenuation of the crust and upper mantle in the Himalaya and South-Central Tibetan Plateau

Creator:: Monigle, Patrick W.
Abstract:: Recent geophysical and geological investigations of the Tibetan plateau have given rise to conflicting models of plateau growth and deformation, where the presence and extent of partial melt in the crust could be a determining factor. Here we investigate the attenuation structure of the crust and upper mantle, as attenuation...

Signatures in the Subsurface - Big & Small Data Approaches for the Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Geologic Properties & Uncertainty Reduction

Creator:: Rose, Kelly Kathleen
Abstract:: Despite more than two centuries of exploration, including more than six million deep wellbores with depths exceeding 40,000 feet in some parts of the world, our ability to constrain subsurface processes and properties remains limited. Characteristics of the subsurface vary and can be analyzed on a variety of spatial scales....

Climate change in the Northwest : implications for our landscapes, waters, and communities

Creator:: Dalton, Meghan M., Mote, Philip W., Snover, Amy K., and Oregon Climate Change Research Institute
Abstract:: Climate Change in the Northwest: Implications for Our Landscapes, Waters, and Communities is a report aimed at assessing the state of knowledge about key climate impacts and consequences to various sectors and communities in the Northwest United States. This report draws on two recent state climate assessments in Washington in...

Investigating the Paleoseismic Potential of Small, Southern Cascadia Lakes

Creator:: Ross, Ann Elizabeth Morey
Abstract:: Marine and coastal sedimentary archives show that the Cascadia Subduction Zone can generate great earthquakes of ~M9, most recently in 1700 CE, yet we still know little of the impacts of these events inland of the Pacific coast. Inland lakes have recently been exploited for their use as paleoseismic records...

Investigating Plate Boundaries through New High-Resolution Bathymetry and Seismic Data; 2 Case Studies from the Cascadia Subduction Zone and San Andreas Fault

Creator:: Beeson, Jeffrey Watson
Abstract:: Contiential margins on plate boundaries are complex systems with morphologies and characteristics dictated by the interplay of sediment deposition and erosion, tectonic faulting, folding, and strong ground motion generating mass wasting events. With ever increasing advances in high-resolution remote sensing techniques these systems are increasingly becoming illuminated. A ~120 km...

Spatiotemporal Drivers of Seabird Distribution at the Pacific Marine Energy Center off Newport, Oregon

Creator:: Porquez, Jessica M.
Abstract:: The central Oregon coast was selected as an ideal site for wave energy development and establishment of the Pacific Marine Energy Center (PMEC). PMEC will consist of two nearshore sites, one north (NETS) and one south (SETS) of the Yaquina River, Oregon. Our study aims to assess how the development...

Characterizing drivers of microbial community structure and function in diverse marine sediments

Creator:: Graw, Michael F.
Abstract:: Marine sediments are one of the largest habitats for microbial life on earth. These microorganisms play critical roles in biogeochemical cycling both within the subsurface and between the sediment and water columns. However, microbial communities in sediments are highly heterogeneous and the factors defining microbial community structure and metabolic function...

It Depends: Defining Cooperation and Evaluating Effectiveness in Transboundary Waters

Creator:: McCracken, Melissa J.
Abstract:: With the increasing international focus on transboundary cooperation as a part of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Framework, there is global recognition of transboundary water cooperation as a tool for improved governance and management of transboundary surface and groundwaters. Yet, there is not an agreed upon definition of transboundary water...

Evolution of Turbulence, Heat Content, and Freshwater Lenses in the Diurnal Warm Layer

Creator:: Moulin, Aurélie J.
Abstract:: Thorough understanding of the mechanisms controlling the temperature structure in the surface mixed layer of the ocean and, in particular, accurate values of sea surface temperature are critical for properly parameterizing air-sea heat exchange and quantifying the amount of heat redistributed below the surface. It is however difficult to obtain...

Establishing interest in and understanding of the marine environment : an educational and cooperative approach utilizing an open source CTD

Creator:: Black, Ian
Abstract:: A number of groups in the United States have expressed concern regarding the state of public ocean literacy and the capabilities of the future marine STEM workforce. This pilot study explores some of the requirements for workforce development and the expansion of ocean literacy by introduction of fundamental ocean properties...
