The Coastal Natural Hazards Policy Working Group: The Move to Update Oregon's Coastal Hazards Management

Creator:: Ansevin-Allen, Andrea C.
Abstract:: This paper will attempt to evaluate the prospects of the PWG's success based on their process so far, using models of policy development and implementation from Kingdon (1984), Putt and Springer (1989), and Sabatier and Mazmanian (1983). Because the PWG's work is not finished, the evaluation may help the group...

A study of the relationship between ageostrophy and dynamical periodicities of the tropical Pacific Boundary Layer

Creator:: McCandlish, Cole B.
Abstract:: Eight years (1980-87) of twice-daily high-resolution radiosonde data from a tropical mid-Pacific island station are analyzed to generate time series of the planetary boundary layer (PBL) top pressure, an ageostrophic parameter (related to the divergence), and a parameter of mean PBL specific humidity. Sample spectra of these time series are...

The ARM assay for the measurement of protistan bacterivory rates and ammonium regeneration efficiencies

Creator:: Suzuki, Marcelino
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Molecular biomarker hydrocarbons as discriminant indicators of environmental pollution - characterization and sources

Creator:: Aboul-Kassim, Tarek A. T.
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Tracer transport in the Martian atmosphere as simulated by a Mars GCM

Creator:: Walsh, Thomas D.
Abstract:: This paper investigates the atmospheric circulation and transport characteristics of the Martian atmosphere (as modeled by a Mars GCM) for three sets of conditions. The conditions are based on a combination of season and dust loading (as parameterized by the optical depth, τ). The first experiment is for the Northern...

The Role of Local Governments in the Alaska Coastal Management Program : Local Coastal Management Plans and the State Consistency Review Process

Creator:: Valentine, Christine E.
Abstract:: The Alaska Coastal Management Program (ACMP) is a networked program, using existing state and local authorities and intended to allow joint state-local management of coastal zone resources and uses. The State of Alaska has outlined broad program goals, and the local governments were to specify how those goals and additional...

Aspects of the biology and culture of Scyphomedusae of the Oregon Coast

Creator:: Heitstuman, Thomas M.
Abstract:: Field and laboratory work was undertaken in 1993 to increase understanding of the life history and ecology of the brown jellyfish, Chrysaora fuscescens, a large semaeostome typically abundant in the neritic regions of the Oregon coast during summer months. Few medusae were found during 1993, possibly the result of anomalous...

Basic Concepts to Develop a Marine Pollution Monitoring Program at the Tijuana-Ensenada Corridor, Baja California, Mexico

Creator:: Alvarez-Vazquez, Hector
Abstract:: The development of a Marine Pollution Monitoring Program (MPMP), in any coastal area of the world, requires a precise knowledge of the functioning of the local ecosystem. Because of the differences found in every coastal ecosystem, it is important to recognize and characterize the reservoirs and significant environments that maintain...

Impacts of demographic and economic change in Oregon's coastal communities : Case studies of Newport, Reedsport, and Gold Beach

Creator:: Zamora Arroyo, Jose Francisco
Abstract:: Coastal communities in Oregon have experienced dramatic economic and demographic change during the 1980s. Although the timber and fishing sectors are still important, the economies of coastal communities now rely more on non-earned income and tourism. Non-earned income sources, such as transfer payments and investment earnings, account for over forty...

Holocene and latest Pleistocene paleoceanography of the northeast Pacific and its relationship to climate change in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Sabin, Ann Louise
Abstract:: Northeast Pacific Ocean sediments were analyzed to determine the past relationship between northeast Pacific sea surface conditions and the climate on the adjacent continent, the Pacific Northwest of North America. Studies of modern ocean-atmosphere interactions demonstrate the significant effect sea surface conditions and atmospheric circulation in the Northeast Pacific Ocean...
