Tillamook Bay national estuary project watershed information system

Creator:: Busse, Katherine M.
Abstract:: This report is organized into four chapters that provide background on watershed topics, GIS applications, and methodology related to development of the TBNEP Watershed Information System. The need for this product is established in Chapter two. First, the role of ecosystem management and the Tillamook Bay watershed is presented before...

A toolbox for sustaining working waterfronts : Assessing applications in Newport, Oregon

Creator:: Kellner, Laurel A.
Abstract:: Working waterfronts across the nation are under pressure. Land use priorities of local governments are changing in response to population growth, new economic pressures, and shifting policy and politics. In Oregon, the decline of fisheries and timber in economic importance followed by the growth of tourism and retirement services has...

Climate change adaptation : Information needs, concerns, and behavioral intentions among Oregon Coast professionals

Creator:: Borberg, Jenna
Abstract:: The social and economic impacts of climate change on the Oregon Coast may be reduced if coastal managers begin planning now to put in place adaptation measures. Oregon Sea Grant conducted a web-based survey of Oregon coastal professionals to target climate change adaptation outreach and engagement efforts toward this audience....

Harnessing the power of Google Earth for seagrass conservation in the Comoros Islands

Creator:: Reifke, Lisa M.
Abstract:: Google Earth has given internet users the power of a virtual globe at their fingertips. It is a free, easy to use tool that avoids the need for technical training, and uses a simple, intuitive interface. For this reason, Google Earth appeals to general and more specialized users. This project...

Heat flow results from plate boundary observatory boreholes in California

Creator:: McDonald, Kyle Joseph
Abstract:: An integral component to understanding lithospheric rheology, fault mechanics, and geodynamic processes is knowledge of the subsurface thermal regime. This study presents thermal data from 26 new borehole sites drilled during the installation of borehole strain meters as part of the Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO). These data extends existing coverage...

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...

Development and use of satellite-derived sea-surface temperature data for the nearshore North Pacific and Arctic Oceans : temperature pattern analysis and implications for climate change at ecoregional scale

Creator:: Payne, Meredith C.
Abstract:: The quantification and description of sea surface temperature (SST) is critically important because it can influence the distribution, migration, and invasion of marine species; furthermore, SSTs are expected to be affected by climate change. Recent research indicates that there has been a warming trend in ocean temperatures over the last...

Evaluating the Potential for Expanding Oregon State University’s E-campus to Africa : A Training Needs-Assessment for Developing African Fisheries Management Capacity

Creator:: Price, Caleb O.
Abstract:: The marine and freshwater fishery resources of West Africa are some of the most productive in the world, and hold vast potential to provide economic prosperity and food security for the developing nations of that region. Nevertheless, the realized social benefits from fishery resources to West African nations have fallen...

A Bayesian approach to habitat suitability prediction

Creator:: Lockett, Daniel Edwin, IV
Abstract:: For the west coast of North America, from northern California to southern Washington, a habitat suitability prediction framework was developed to support wave energy device siting. Concern that wave energy devices may impact the seafloor and benthos has renewed research interest in the distribution of marine benthic invertebrates and factors...

Aquatic pesticide best management practices and relational database for the protection of NOAA trust species

Creator:: Gianou, Kelsey, Lam, Jennifer, Emanuel, Robert, Jepson, Paul, and Chan, Sam
Abstract:: Pesticides are widely used to control undesirable pests and may be applied directly to water or lands directly adjacent to water. There can be unintended consequences, however, to native, threatened, and endangered species. There is little information on the impacts of aquatic pesticides and best management practices (BMPs) to NOAA...
