Creator:: Wright, Dawn J., Watson, Stephanie, Bermudez, Luis, Cummins, Valerie, Dwyer, Ned, Nyerges, Timothy, Benoit, Greg, Berman, Marcia, Helly, John, and Uhel, Ronan
Abstract:: From July 16 to 20, 2007, international partners in a trans- Atlantic workshop series on coastal mapping and informatics, held a workshop on the campus of Oregon State University entitled “Coastal Atlas Interoperability.” The workshop engaged 27 participants from 6 countries, representing 17 organizations and multiple areas of scientific and...
Resource Type:: Technical Report

Creator:: Wright, Dawn J. and Wang, Shaowen
Abstract:: Cyberinfrastructure integrates advanced computer, information, and communication technologies to empower computation-based and data-driven scientific practice and improve the synthesis and analysis of scientific data in a collaborative and shared fashion. As such, it now represents a paradigm shift in scientific research that has facilitated easy access to computational utilities and...

Creator:: Wright, Dawn J., Roberts, Jed T., Fenner, Douglas, Smith, John R., Kippers, Anthony A. P., Naar, David F., Hirsch, Emily R., Clift, Leslie Whaylen, and Hogrefe, Kyle R.
Abstract:: We present the geomorphology of the Eastern Samoa Volcanic Province, covering 28,446 km², and depths ranging from ~50-4000 m. A new compilation of available multibeam data reveals 51 previously undocumented seamounts, and delineates major submarine rift zones, eruptive centers, and volcanic plateaus. Moving from a regional to local scale, and...

Creator:: O'Dea, Elizabeth K., Dwyer, Edward, Cummins, Valerie, and Wright, Dawn J.
Abstract:: A Coastal Web Atlas (CWA) is a valuable resource for a range of users including coastal managers as it provides easy access to maps, spatial data, coastal information and tools. A trans-Atlantic workshop on “Potentials and Limitations of Coastal Web Atlases”, held in Ireland in July 2006, brought together atlas...

Creator:: Sullivan, Colleen M., Conway, Flaxen D. L., Pomeroy, Caroline, Hall-Arber, Madeleine, and Wright, Dawn J.
Abstract:: Agencies in the US with oversight for marine renewable energy development have idealistically sought space where this new use might proceed unhindered by other uses. Despite experiential evidence of spatial overlap among existing ocean uses, a lack of documentation makes the identification of potential space-use conflicts, communication among existing and...
Resource Type:: Article

Creator:: Heyman, William D. and Wright, Dawn J.
Abstract:: Marine environments, key life-support systems for the earth, are under severe threat. Issues associated with managing these common property resources are complex and interrelated. Networks of marine reserves can be valuable for mitigating threats to marine systems, yet the successful design and implementation of such networks has been limited. Efficient...
Resource Type:: Article

Creator:: Wright, Dawn J.
Abstract:: This perspectives paper uses the seminal Goodchild (1992) article as a lens through which to review and reflect upon several longstanding issues that have influenced the field of geographic information science in the past and will continue to be important at least into the next decade. Under the category of...

Creator:: Wright, Dawn J., Haymon, Rachel M., and Fornari, Daniel J.
Abstract:: The deep-towed Argo I optical/acoustical vehicle and a geographic information system (GIS) have been used to establish the abundance, widths, and spatial distribution of fissures, as well as the relative age distribution of lavas along the narrow (<500 m wide) axial zone of the East Pacific Rise (EPR) from 9°12′...

Creator:: Wright, Dawn J., Haymon, Rachel M., White, Scott M., and Macdonald, Ken C.
Abstract:: Fissure densities and widths have been mapped along the axial zone of the superfast spreading southern East Pacific Rise (EPR) at 17°15′–40′S with the near-bottom DSL-120 and Argo II imaging systems. We observe that the youngest lava flows (on a relative age scale) are sparsely fissured and that there is...

Creator:: Falloon, Trevor J., Danyushevsky, Leonid V., Crawford, Tony J., Maas, Roland, Woodhead, Jon D., Eggins, Stephen M., Bloomer, Sherman H., Wright, Dawn J., Zlobin, Sergei K., and Stacey, Andrew R.
Abstract:: We report new geochemical data for boninites and backarc basin-type basalts recovered from the northern termination of the Tonga trench and Lau Basin. Boninitic pillow lavas, ranging from high-Mg compositions to andesites and dacites, have been erupted within large submarine volcanic edifices (calderas and volcanoes) associated with active rifting of...
