Ocean shore protection policy and practices in Oregon : an evaluation of implementation success

Creator:: Good, James W.
Abstract:: Oregon's beaches were designated public recreation areas by the 1967 Beach Law. These beaches and adjacent shorelands experience erosion and other hazards due to winter storm waves, weathering, and geologic instability. Sea cliff recession threatens older development and inadequate construction setbacks create hazards for new buildings. The typical hazard response...

Biogeography of nonindigenous species: from description to prediction

Creator:: Reusser, Deborah A.
Abstract:: Nonindigenous species are a major threat to the ecological integrity and biodiversity of marine and estuarine ecosystems. To become a successful invader, species must pass through four phases: (1) survive transport, (2) survive release, (3) establish a population, and (4) expand their range. To better understand these processes, an integrated...

Using educational tools and integrative experiences via geovisualizations that incorporate spatial thinking, real world science and ocean literacy standards in the classroom : a case study examined

Creator:: Kinzel, Michelle Rene
Abstract:: The field of geography has been transformed in recent years through the use of spatial tools such as geographic information systems (GIS) satellite and acoustic remote sensing, the global positioning system (GPS), Internet mapping and more. Studying geography and earth science in the digital age now requires a sophisticated and...

An environmental history of the salmon management philosophies of the North Pacific : Japan, Russia, Canada, Alaska and the Pacific Northwest United States

Creator:: Augerot, Xanthippe
Abstract:: Salmon management philosophies of the five salmon jurisdictions of the North Pacific (Japan, Russia, Canada, Alaska and the American Northwest) are examined in a historical and geographic context. The first objective is to provide a synthesis of salmon management experience across the North Pacific, to serve as a context for...

Developing "humane" interfaces to data clearinghouses for improving the delivery of spatial information to marine resource managers

Creator:: Walsh, Kuuipo
Abstract:: Web geographic information systems (GISs) and the Internet are now providing the connectivity necessary to support large-scale data access by a wide variety of users, including not just scientific researchers, but also policy-makers and marine resource managers. However, connectivity alone cannot ensure that those who need natural resource information will...

Comparative analysis of winter storm episodes and significant wave events: Newport, Oregon 1982-1990

Creator:: Assail, N. Daniela
Abstract:: Data on ocean wave height and energy have been gathered via microseismometer at Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport, Oregon since 1971. Data on wave characteristics at Newport for the winter seasons (November through March) from 1982 to 1990 were analyzed to ascertain any relationships with winter storm events. Newport...

The marine geomorphology of American Samoa : shapes and distributions of deep sea volcanics

Creator:: Roberts, Jed T.
Abstract:: The geologic processes at work in American Samoa have long been a point of scientific debate. Of its numerous volcanic formations, few breach sea level, leaving an enormous proportion of their mass unavailable to traditional observation. This study aims to describe the deep sea geomorphology of American Samoa through compilation,...

Transboundary groundwater : geopolitical consequences, commons sense, and the law of the hidden sea

Creator:: Jarvis, William Todd
Abstract:: With 97% of the world’s freshwater resources stored underground, the connection between groundwater resources to the metrics of space, scale and time common to the geographic study of natural resources has not been extensively investigated by geographers. While nearly 240 transboundary aquifers are mapped across the world, a potential “tragedy”...

Building and sharing spatial metaphors for the Catalogue of Oregon Marine and Coastal Information

Creator:: Cooper, Colin A.
Abstract:: Spatialization is an innovative way to expand searching capabilities for a marine/coastal reference database by using a metaphorical map framework to establish a sense of place for non-spatial information. Spatializing the Catalogue of Oregon Marine and Coastal Information (COMC1), a coastal reference database, enables the marine and coastal resource community...

If you build it, will they come? Evolution towards the application of multi-dimensional GIS to fisheries-oceanography

Creator:: Vance, Tiffany C.
Abstract:: The development of new technologies in science is a balance between existence and use. There are three versions of this duality – something is built and users come, something is built and users don’t come, and, finally, potential users show up but the ballpark has not yet been built. In...
