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...

Surfing the Cascadia Subduction Zone: Risk perceptions and evacuation knowledge among Oregon surfers

Creator:: Shelby, Daniel
Abstract:: Evacuation strategies have been established for most user groups in tsunami inundation zones; however, surprisingly little information is available for a growing visitor group - surfers. For near-shore tsunami events, Oregon surfers, who recreate in the nearshore region, must make life or death choices when deciding what to do in...

Mapping and lithologic interpretation of the Territorial Sea, Oregon

Creator:: Agapito, Melinda T.
Abstract:: Seafloor lithologic maps have been widely used to identify conservation sites. In this study, a lithologic interpretation of Oregon's territorial seafloor was created as an interim product in response to the need for a comprehensive lithologic map that will be used in the identification, evaluation and design of marine reserves...

Community-based sea turtle monitoring and management at Helen Reef, Hatohobei State, Republic of Palau

Creator:: Barr, Julie M.
Abstract:: Remote areas are frequently homes to regional subpopulations of endangered green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) and their essential habitat. Local communities are often the users and primary stewards of this valuable and charismatic resource. Recognizing this, a Hatohobeian community group in Palau has engaged in longterm monitoring and conservation management...

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...

Assessment of the Active Absorption System of the Large Wave Flume

Creator:: Savić, Una
Abstract:: The Large Wave Flume at the O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory houses a piston wavemaker with a built-in active absorption system designed by MTS Systems Corporation. The performance of the active absorption system has not been properly assessed yet. This thesis evaluates the performance of the MTS active absorption system...

Cost-efficient management of aquatic invasive species : application to New Zealand mudsnails in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Lim, Youngah
Abstract:: By affecting the ecological, pecuniary and aesthetic productivity of ecosystems, invasive species (IS) increase production and management costs to business, while straining public agencies' budgets with monitoring, enforcement and management efforts. Understanding invasion pathways or vectors, and identifying costs and benefits of alternative management strategies are critical to public and...

A Bayesian approach to marine spatial planning

Creator:: Erhardt, Morgan William
Abstract:: The marine ecosystem provides a broad spectrum of services for a wide array of user groups. Such broad use of marine resources often results in use conflicts between ecosystem elements and human interests. To help mitigate these conflicts, the Bayesian Analysis for Spatial Siting (BASS) tool was developed to incorporate...

The Role of Iron: How Natural and Human-Induced Iron Fertilization Could Change Ocean Productivity

Creator:: Adroli, Nurmalia
Abstract:: Iron (Fe) is an important limiting nutrient that can affect the rate of ocean primary production because it is required by phytoplankton as an enzymatic cofactor in photosynthesis, nitrogen fixation, and other essential metabolic functions. Most Fe reaches the surface of the open ocean via atmospheric dust deposition, which is...
