Dune erosion models and swash zone kinematics from remote video observations

Creator:: Palmsten, Margaret L.
Abstract:: The subaerial beach, composed of sand dunes and the foreshore, provides a natural buffer zone between vulnerable land and the dissipation of storm wave energy due to wave breaking. The natural beauty of this region is attractive to people, and as a result, significant investment has been placed in this...

Equatorward jets and poleward undercurrents along the eastern boundary of the mid-latitude north Pacific

Creator:: Pierce, Stephen D.
Abstract:: We sharpen our view of an eastern boundary current region during the upwelling season through the analysis of several data sets. We focus on the mesoscale flow field off of northern California, observed during the Coastal Transition Zone (CTZ) experiment of 1988. First, we estimate tidal currents in the region...

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...

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...

Patterns of sediment accumulation in the Siletz River Estuary, Oregon

Creator:: Pakenham, Anna
Abstract:: Anecdotal evidence suggests many Pacific Northwest estuaries are filling with sediment due to historical logging activities in upstream watersheds. Using the Siletz River estuary as a case study, this research began by analyzing timber harvest and discharge records of the Siletz River watershed, and found that increased timber harvest coincides...

Testing the correlation between inundation period and coastal wetland productivity in Carex lyngbyei and Distichlis spicata communities, South Slough National Estuarine Reserve, Oregon

Creator:: Gilman, Eric
Abstract:: I tested the hypothesis that there is a correlation between inundation period and net primary production (NPP) in estuarine salt marshes through an observational experiment at South Slough National Estuarine Reserve, Oregon. I estimated primary production and inundation period for selected monotypic plant communities in (1) a naturally restored wetland...

Development of 2D models to estimate nearshore bathymetry and sediment transport

Creator:: Splinter, Kristen D.
Abstract:: We examine the interactions and feedbacks between bathymetry, waves, currents, and sediment transport. The ﬁrst two pro jects focus on the use of remote sensing techniques to expand our knowledge of the nearshore. Due to the plethora of snap-shot data that is available from satellites and their distribution via Google...

Correlations of sea surface height and solid earth tides with seismicity in the equatorial Pacific Ocean : a GIS approach

Creator:: Zennaro, Barbara
Abstract:: In the equatorial Pacific Ocean, earthquakes are used as an indicator of tectonic stress for normal faults in the Galapagos Spreading Center, transform faults along the East Pacific Rise and thrust faults in the Middle American subduction zone. Linkages between seafloor tectonic processes and oceanographic and lunar conditions were explored...

Utility of a needs assessment as an initial outreach tool : A case study of recovery planning for the threatened Oregon Coast Coho Salmon

Creator:: Lohrman, Bridgette A.
Abstract:: Outreach is a key element in natural resource public participation processes in order to create an engaging, thoughtful, and productive environment for citizen involved decision-making. This project examined the utility of a needs assessment as an initial outreach tool within the context of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries...

The application of geographic information systems for delineation and classification of tidal wetlands for resource management of Oregon’s coastal watersheds

Creator:: Scranton, Russell W.
Abstract:: Resource managers of Oregon’s tidal wetlands require an improved GIS layer for management of existing tidal wetland habitat and areas considered for tidal wetland restoration. A reconnaissance project was initiated, such that interpretations of remote sensing data, the National Wetland Inventory, Oregon Estuary Plan Book and additional management tools were...
