Artificial radionuclides, induced in water used as a coolant in the Hanford reactors, are discharged into the Pacific Ocean by the Columbia River. Gamma-ray spectrometric measurements show that levels of 65Zn decrease in both sediments and benthic animals with distance from the mouth of the river and with depth of...
Knowledge of the pelagic organisms in vast areas of the open ocean is very limited. This is particularly true of the small nekton or swimming forms such as fishes, squid, prawns and euphausiids, which are important as intermediate animals in the food chain and are preyed upon by species such...
Oregon State University operates a World-Wide Standard Seismograph
Station at Corvallis (COR) and a seismic station at Klamath Falls
(KFO), Oregon. Data recorded at the Portland (PTD), Oregon, seismic
station, operated by the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, are
included in this Seismological Bulletin.
The Corvallis station includes three...

Oregon State University operates a World-Wide Standard Seismograph
Station at Corvallis (COR) and a seismic station at Klamath Falls (KFO),
Oregon.
The Corvallis station includes three short-period Benioff seismographs
(T0 = 1 sec, T = 0.75 sec), three long-period Sprengnether
seismographs (T0 = 30gsec, Tg = 100 sec), and a...

The Oregon State University seismic station at Corvallis is one of the World-Wide Cooperative Standard Seismograph Network of stations. The station includes three-component Benioff short-period seismographs (T0 = 1 sec, Tg = 0.75 sec); three-component Sprengnether long-period seismographs (T0 = 30 sec, Tg = 100 sec); and an additional small...
Twelve earthquakes off the Oregon and Northern California
coasts were used in this research to study whether faulting associated
with these quakes was of the San Andreas type as observed in
California. The first motions of the incident P and S waves recorded
at various seismic stations in the Pacific...
Solar radiation intensities, incident to the sea surface off the Oregon
coast, are measured and compared. Simplification of some physical
and biological problems can be anticipated if the average radiation
received over a broad segment of ocean can be accurately indicated
by the amount recorded at the land station.
The...
The oceanic phenomenon of upwelling along the Oregon coast is
examined. Upwelling in both the open ocean and coastal regions is
discussed. An idealized model is used, envisaging the ocean off
Oregon to consist of homogeneous surface and deep layers separated
by a pycnocline. The equations of motion are solved...
