  • Patterns of benthic macroinvertebrate communities and habitat associations in temperate continental shelf waters of the Pacific Northwest

    Creator:
    Lee, Timothy Seung-chul
    Abstract:
    Macroinvertebrates constitute the backbone of megafaunal communities in benthic ecosystems around the globe. Many macroinvertebrates have vital roles in benthic ecosystems, ranging from enhancing habitat complexity to providing staple food sources for other organisms. Regardless of how familiar macroinvertebrates are to the general public, very few studies have attempted to...

  • Ultraviolet radiation as an environmental stressor of amphibians

    Creator:
    Bancroft, Betsy A.
    Abstract:
    My thesis explored the effects of and potential mediating mechanisms for an important environmental stressor, ultraviolet-B (UVB) radiation. UVB radiation has negative effects on organisms in both terrestrial and aquatic systems. I used meta-analysis to quantify the effects of UVB radiation on a diversity of aquatic organisms (Chapter 2). UVB...

  • Interactions of wind-driven and tidally-driven circulation in the Oregon coastal ocean

    Creator:
    Osborne, John J.
    Abstract:
    Influences of tidal and slower (subtidal) oceanic flows over the continental shelf and slope off Oregon are studied using a high-resolution ocean circulation model and comparative model-data analyses. The model is based on the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS), a fully nonlinear, three-dimensional model (using hydrostatic and Boussinesq approximations). The...
