Quantifying dune ecomorphodynamics using UAV-based structure from motion photogrammetry

Creator:: Edgell, Rebecca
Abstract:: Oregon’s foredunes are part of a dynamic coastal environment that constantly evolves in response to both ecological and physical forces. Invasive beachgrasses have outcompeted native dune grass in the region and have influenced the shape of Oregon’s foredunes via species-specific biophysical feedback mechanisms. As climate change induced sea-level rise will...

A Tale of Two Counties : Exploring Co-Produced Coastal Adaptation Strategies in Tillamook County, OR and Grays Harbor County, WA

Creator:: Evans-Wilent, Janan K.
Abstract:: Coastal communities throughout the US West Coast and elsewhere are facing the daunting task of preparing for climate change impacts, particularly the hazards from increased flooding and erosion. With sea-level rise, changing storminess patterns, and possible changes to the frequency and severity of major El Niño events, communities are already...

Coastal hazards and community exposure in a changing climate : the development of probabilistic coastal change hazard zones

Creator:: Baron, Heather M.
Abstract:: Documented trends in rising sea levels, storminess, and extreme wave heights have the potential to increase the frequency and magnitude of coastal change hazards, increasing risks to coastal infrastructure and environmental resources. Coastal planners and decision makers need information about the impacts of future hazards in order to apply mitigation...

From the Shoreface to the Foredunes : Coastal Morphodynamics Across the Land-Sea Interface

Creator:: Cohn, Nicholas T.
Abstract:: Coastal flooding and erosion are major concerns for low lying coastal communities -- particularly in light of accelerated sea level rise and climate change. To improve quantitative understanding of the physical drivers of both flooding and coastal landscape change, this dissertation explores coastal morphodynamics bridging the land-sea interface on modally...

Hydrodynamic and Morphologic Controls on Extreme Coastal Total Water Levels Across Regional and Local Scales

Creator:: Serafin, Katherine A.
Abstract:: Coastal and estuarine flooding and erosion events are usually driven by the cumulative effect of multiple individual processes like waves, streamflow, storm surge, and/or tides. This dissertation focuses on separating the influence of the regional and local-scale geomorphologic and hydrodynamic processes driving variability in the magnitude and impacts of extreme...

Application of Cosmogenic Nuclides and Argon Geochronology to Paleoclimate, Paleomagnetism, and Paleohydrology

Creator:: Balbas, Andrea M.
Abstract:: This dissertation uses argon geochronology and cosmogenic nuclide surface exposure dating methods to address three research questions. The first question concerns a geomagnetic instability recorded in lava flows on the island of Floreana in the Galapagos Archipelago. Changes in the Earth’s magnetic field (intensity and orientation) occur frequently throughout geologic...

A community-based approach for evaluating tradeoffs across marine ecosystem services in Oregon

Creator:: Freeman, Peter M.
Abstract:: As competing uses of our coastlines increase, natural resource agencies are employing marine spatial planning (MSP) to designate areas for different uses or activities in order to reduce conflicts while achieving ecological, economic and social objectives. A central challenge of implementing MSP is development of a rigorous approach for analyzing...

Novel Copper and Iron Complexes along the Oregon Coastal Upwelling Margin

Creator:: Bright, Peter, W.
Abstract:: Copper and iron are essential micronutrients that are required by marine primary producers for a variety of metabolic processes. Over 99% of both copper and iron are bound within organic complexes in the marine environment, however the molecular identity of many of these complexes remains unknown. The speciation of these...

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...
