  • Utilizing cooperative fisheries research to monitor and understand harmful algal blooms along the Oregon coast

    Creator:
    Gilliland, Raquel C.
    Abstract:
    Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are a problem for coastal communities, the fishing industry, and coastal organisms. Pseudo-nitzschia spp. is a regularly occurring diatom in Oregon’s coastal waters. At times, Pseudo-nitzschia spp. can facultatively produce domoic acid, a neurotoxin that can bioaccumulate in the food chain. While regular shore-based sampling provides...

    Creator:
    Carini, Lya
    Abstract:
    Hydrological and biogeochemical processes occurring throughout a watershed are typically reflected in stream water chemistry, including in coastal watersheds. While Oregon Coast Range streams have been studied in the past, there is a dearth of knowledge in terms of seasonal temporal trends and spatial variability that this study seeks to...

  • Factors Influencing Streamflow Generation Processes in Rain-dominated, Coastal Watersheds in Oregon

    Creator:
    Pazdral, Rosemary
    Abstract:
    Relative to other systems in the PNW, the rain-dominated, coastal watersheds of western Oregon have shallow aquifers. Given the seasonality of streamflow and storage limitations in coastal, rain-dominated watersheds, changes in the temporal patterns of precipitation have the potential to magnify the risk of extreme streamflow conditions during both high-...
