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...

Habitat mapping and identifying suitable habitat of Redfish Rocks Pilot Marine Reserve, Port Orford, Oregon

Creator:: Amolo, Rizaller C.
Abstract:: Establishment of marine protected areas (MPAs) has been documented to effectively manage marine resource's diversity and enhance fisheries productivity. However, there must be a critical consideration of how these sites are selected and the actual description of the site itself. Its effectiveness is greatly dependent on understanding these habitats and...

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...

Offshore Wind Energy's Role in the United States' Energy Transition

Creator:: Erdesz, Krisa (Muller)
Abstract:: As the human population grows, the need for alternative and clean forms of energy is greater. The installation of offshore wind energy has been on the rise over the past decade, however the fossil fuel energy generation sectors, such as coal and natural gas, are still major players in the...

Larval Biogeography and Varying Spawning Behavior of Bering Sea Groundfishes: Implications for Management in a Changing Seascape

Creator:: Vary, Laura
Abstract:: Early life stages of marine fishes exert substantial control on the productivity and resilience of marine fisheries, as these life stages represent periods of extreme mortality. Additionally, eggs and larvae of marine fishes respond rapidly to environmental change and can thus be used to infer ecosystem-wide responses to climate change...

Encounter norms of snorkelers and scuba divers at Molokini, Hawai'i : methodological and managerial applications

Creator:: Bell, Caitlin M.
Abstract:: Over the past few decades, tourism and recreation activities have increased in tropical marine settings, and studies have examined social and ecological impacts of these activities. Some studies have examined social impacts such as encounters, crowding, and encounter norms or standards that individuals use to evaluate encounters with others as...

A Broader Overview and Investigation into Seafood Traceability Developments and the Current Landscape for the US West Coast Seafood Industry

Creator:: Ahlers, Brian L.
Abstract:: Seafood is one of the most diverse and highly traded natural resources worldwide. Widespread evidence of increased seafood fraud and IUU fishing has placed enormous pressure on industry and governments to determine the authenticity, safety, and sustainability of seafood. The recently established US National Ocean Council has addressed several gaps...

A toolbox for sustaining working waterfronts : Assessing applications in Newport, Oregon

Creator:: Kellner, Laurel A.
Abstract:: Working waterfronts across the nation are under pressure. Land use priorities of local governments are changing in response to population growth, new economic pressures, and shifting policy and politics. In Oregon, the decline of fisheries and timber in economic importance followed by the growth of tourism and retirement services has...

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...
