  • Remote measurements of waves and currents over complex bathymetry

    Creator:
    Chickadel, Carmine C. (Carmine Christopher)
    Abstract:
    Waves are the primary input of energy in the nearshore region, and together with the currents forced through the transfer of momentum that occurs during the wave breaking process they are the principal mechanism for sediment transport in the nearshore. The basic physics of waves and currents are thought to...

  • On the Imaging of Rip Currents in X-band Radar

    Creator:
    Kloster, Rebecca
    Abstract:
    Rip currents pose a serious danger to visitors of bathing beaches; they are also an important process in surf zone circulation. Haller et al. [2014] demonstrated that shore-based X-band radar can be used to compliment in situ measurements of rip currents. However, little is known of the underlying radar imaging...

  • Simulating extreme total water levels using a time-dependent, extreme value approach

    Creator:
    Serafin, Katherine A.
    Abstract:
    Coastal flood hazard zones and the design of coastal defenses are often devised using either the maximum recorded total water level (TWL) or a 'design' event such as the 100-year return-level flood, usually projected from observed extreme events. Despite technological advances driving more consistent instrumental records of wave heights and...

  • Laboratory observations and numerical modeling of the effects of an array of wave energy converters

    Creator:
    Porter, Aaron K.
    Abstract:
    This thesis investigates the effects of wave energy converters (WECs) on water waves through the analysis of extensive laboratory experiments, as well as subsequent numerical simulations. Data for the analysis was collected during the WEC-Array Experiments performed at the O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory at Oregon State University, under co-operation...

  • 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...

  • Hydrodynamic and Morphologic Controls on Extreme Coastal Total Water Levels Across Regional and Local Scales

    Creator:
    Serafin, Katherine A.
    Abstract:
    Coastal and estuarine flooding and erosion events are usually driven by the cumulative effect of multiple individual processes like waves, streamflow, storm surge, and/or tides. This dissertation focuses on separating the influence of the regional and local-scale geomorphologic and hydrodynamic processes driving variability in the magnitude and impacts of extreme...

  • Deep-sea sediment paleomagnetism : a case study from the North Atlantic

    Creator:
    Strano, Sarah Elianna
    Abstract:
    Sedimentary records from the North Atlantic, instrumental in the development of modern paleo-geomagnetic concepts, show a highly variable field even during times of constant polarity. Yet, our understanding of how the magnetization is acquired in the sediments is poorly understood. Primary magnetizations preserved in deep-sea sediments are known to be...

  • The wave energy resource of the US Pacific Northwest

    Creator:
    Lenee-Bluhm, Pukha
    Abstract:
    The substantial wave energy resource of the US Pacific Northwest (i.e. off the coasts of Washington, Oregon and N. California) is assessed and characterized. Archived spectral records from ten wave measurement buoys, operated and maintained by the National Data Buoy Center and the Coastal Data Information Program, form the basis...
