Two coastal upwelling domains in the northern California Current system

Creator:: Huyer, Adriana, 1945-, Fleischbein, Jane, Keister, Julie Eileen, Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-, Perlin, Natalie, Smith, Robert L. (Robert Lloyd), 1935-, and Wheeler, Patricia A.
Abstract:: A pair of hydrographic sections, one north and one south of Cape Blanco at 42.9N, was sampled in five summers (1998–2000 and 2002–2003). The NH line at 44.6N lies about 130 km south of the Columbia River, and spans a relatively wide shelf off Newport, Oregon. The CR line at...

The spectral backscattering properties of marine particles

Creator:: Whitmire, Amanda L.
Abstract:: The inherent and apparent optical properties of different ocean regimes are the basis for all optical remote sensing of the ocean. Ecological information derived from remote sensors therefore relies on having a detailed understanding of how particulate backscattering and absorption contribute to the bulk optical signal. The absorption characteristics of...

An exploration of visitors’ conservation attitudes, expectations, and motivations at three informal education institutions in Newport, Oregon

Creator:: Nickels, Abby L.
Abstract:: Due to the overwhelming concern for the current state of our oceans, The Pew Ocean Commission (2003) and the U.S. Commission on Ocean policy (2004), have both strongly recommended an increase in our society’s ocean literacy. An increase in ocean literacy can be achieved through informal education institutions such as...

Evaluation of dungeness crab pots as platforms of opportunity for ocean-observing research

Creator:: Childress, Jeremy L.
Abstract:: Oregon Fishermen in Ocean Observing Research (OrFIOOR) is a cooperative research program between ocean scientists and fishermen in the Pacific Northwest. Dungeness crab fishermen attach sensor packages (temperature and dissolved oxygen) to crab pots. The pots serve as platforms of opportunity for ocean observing. This study examines three principle questions...

Life histories of juvenile chinook salmon in the Columbia River estuary : 1916 to the present

Creator:: Burke, Jennifer L.
Abstract:: Pacific Coast estuaries provide important rearing habitats leading to improved growth and survival for juvenile chinook salmon. However, research has suggested that juvenile salmon have little use for estuarine habitats in the Columbia River. To further understand salmonid recovery needs in estuaries, I compared historical and contemporary life history patterns...

Precision of the current methods to measure the alkenone proxy U₃₇ K’ and absolute alkenone abundance in sediments: results of an interlaboratory comparison study

Creator:: Rosell-Melé, A., Bard, E., Emeis, K.-C., Grimalt, J. O., Muller, P., Schneider, R., Bouloubassi, I., Epstein, B., Fahl, K., Fluegge, A., Freeman, K., Goñi, M., Güntner, U., Hartz, D., Hellebust, S., Herbert, T., Ikehara, M., Ishiwatari, R., Kawamura, K., Kenig, F., de Leeuw, J., Lehman, S., Mejanelle, L., Ohkouchi, N., Pancost, R. D., Pelejero, C., Prahl, Fredrick, Quinn, J., Rontani, J.-F., Rostek, F., Rullkötter, J., Sachs, J., Blanz, T., Sawada, K., Schulz-Bull, D., Sikes, E., Sonzogni, C., Ternois, Y., Versteegh, G., Volkman, J. K., and Wakeham, S.
Abstract:: Measurements of the U₃₇ K’ index and the absolute abundance of alkenones in marine sediments are increasingly used in paleoceanographic research as proxies of past sea surface temperature and haptophyte (mainly coccolith-bearing species) primary productivity, respectively. An important aspect of these studies is to be able to compare reliably data...

How Individual Transferable Quota Programs Affect Fishing Fleets

Creator:: Clarke, Robert L. Jr.
Abstract:: Some amount of of consolidation has occurred under almost every individual quote program that has been implemented. In the most severe cases, fishing fleets have lost over 70% of their vessels. Because of the devastating impact such losses can have on fishing communities, it is vital that the potential for...

Spectral backscattering properties of marine phytoplankton cultures

Creator:: Whitmire, Amanda L., Pegau, W. Scott, Karp-Boss, Lee, Boss, Emmanuel, and Cowles, Timothy J.
Abstract:: The backscattering properties of marine phytoplankton, which are assumed to vary widely with differences in size, shape, morphology and internal structure, have been directly measured in the laboratory on a very limited basis. This work presents results from laboratory analysis of the backscattering properties of thirteen phytoplankton species from five...

Prokaryotes associated with marine crust

Creator:: Mason, Olivia Underwood
Abstract:: Oceanic crust covers nearly 70% of the Earth's surface, of which, the upper, sediment layer is estimated to harbor substantial microbial biomass. Marine crust; however, extends several kilometers beyond this surficial layer, and includes the basalt and gabbro layers. In particular, the basalt layer has high permeabilities which allows for...

Contribution of cold seep barite to the barium geochemical budget of a marginal basin

Creator:: McQuay, Erica L.
Abstract:: Large barite (BaSO4) structures mark cold seeps in the southern San Clemente Basin. Barium flux to San Clemente sediments is two to three times greater than fluxes measured in surrounding California Borderland basins. Analyses of sediment trap material, water column samples, sediments and pore water indicate that expected bariumbearing mineral...
