Temperature, salinity, sigma-t and dissipation profiles from the Rapid Sampling Vertical Profiler for six transects as part of the Coastal Transition zone pilot experiment, June 1987.
CTD observations were made over the continental shelf and upper continental slope from the coast to approximately 60 km off central California between latitudes 34°N and 37.5°N. The measurements were made by Raytheon Service Company as part of the Central California Coastal Circulation Study sponsored by the Minerals Management Service....
Temperature observations are presented from 4 Aanderaa thermistor chains suspended from a free-floating surface buoy during October-November 1983 near 33.5° N, 126.5° W as part of the Mixed Layer Dynamics Experiment (MILDEX). Each chain contained 11 sensors; the upper two were 30 min length, the lower two were 100 m...
CTD observations were made in the Code region near Pt. Arena on the northern California coast at 39° N during 14-27 July 1982. The observations in the Code region included three repeated sections along the Central Line, two mesoscale surveys of the shelf/slope region, and an alongshore section over the...
CTD observations were made in the CODE region between Pt. Arena (39°N) and Pt. Reyes (38°N) during 20-24 April 1982. The observations were made along seven sections: Irish Gulch, Arena, North, Code-North, Code Central, Code-2 Central and Ross Lines, and along the fifty fathom contour. Maximum sampling depth was 1000...
CTD observations were made in the CODE region between Pt. Arena(39° N) and Pt. Reyes(38°N), during 1-4 August 1981. The observations included two repeated sections along the Central Line, one section along the North Line, and one section in the region of the Pt. Ross Line rur during previous cruises....
A series of stereo photographs displays a range of residue loadings for cleancut units in three general forest types common to coastal Oregon forest lands: Douglas-fir--western hemlock (second-growth), western hemlock--Sitka spruce, and red alder. Postburn residue levels are also represented for the Douglas-fir--western hemlock, and red alder types. Information with...
Large fallen trees in various stages of decay contribute much-needed diversity of ecological processes to terrestrial, aquatic, estuarine, coastal beach, and open ocean habitats in the Pacific Northwest. Intensive utilization and management can deprive these habitats of large fallen trees. The publication presents sound information for managers making resource management...
A fully illustrated key is presented for identifying genera of oribatid mites known from or suspected of occurring in the Pacific Northwest. The manual includes an introduction detailing sampling methodology; an illustrated glossary of all terminology used; two color plates of all taxa from the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest; a...
WRRI 106 is placeholder for the research findings of Project No. G-928-03 funded by U.S. Dept. of the Interior, Geological Survey. Findings are available in Piehl, Bradley T. (1986) An evaluation of culverts on low volume forest roads in the Oregon Coast Range (Masters Thesis, Oregon State University. Forest Engineering)...
The analysis of prehistoric stone features has suffered for two separate but related reasons. The first is the lack of stringency in defining the terms attributed to these structures and, second, the perception of a lack of formal attributes exhibited by them. These two factors have made it impossible to...
The Tumalo quadrangle lies approximately 30 kilometers behind the Cascade volcanic arc and marks the southernmost extent of continuously exposed Deschutes Formation rocks. Deschutes Formation rocks in the
Tumalo quadrangle include late Miocene volcaniclastic sedimentary rocks, ignimbrites and lapillistones, and late Miocene to early
Pliocene basalts and basaltic andesites. Volcaniclastic...
The Whitewater River area is located directly east of Mt. Jefferson in the Cascades of central Oregon. Approximately 90 mi2 (230 km2) were mapped (scale 1/24,000) and four new K-Ar ages and 151 major element analyses were obtained in a study of the stratigraphic
and magmatic transition from the Miocene...
During Early and Middle Devonian time, the main part of the Death Valley area was characterized by shallow marine shelf position. In the extreme western part, deposition took place in carbonate slope environments. Early and Middle Devonian eastern platform dolomites, represented by uppermost Hidden Valley Dolomite and lower Lost Burro...
About 225 lava flows and ash-flow tuffs of the Deschutes Formation (DF) were mapped at Green Ridge. The units fill east-trending paleovalleys which "sky-out" westward and dip east; the eastward dip of the units decreases
as they are traced eastward. The source of the units was west of Green Ridge...
Spectral beam attenuation coefficients, spectral volume scattering
function meaurements at 45°, 90°, and 130° particle size distributions
and chlorophyll a and phaeophytin pigment concentrations were measured during
May and September, 1977 in Monterey Bay, California. This data is examined
and statistical interrelationships between the parameters measured are
explored.
It was...
This research investigated the effect of a literature-based unit on subjects' in primary grades attitudes toward the elderly and aging. The experiment followed a pretest/posttest design; covariates derived from three separate survey portions were compared with respective postmeasure scores.
Other research on young children's attitudes toward aging suggests that ageist...
The Mitchell inlier in north-central Oregon contains the largest exposure of Cretaceous marine sedimentary rocks in this region. Nearly 9,000 ft of Albian-Cenamanian rocks are exposed along the flanks of the Mitchell anticline. The Cretaceous section rests unconformably overlain by Tertiary volcanic rocks. The Cretaceous rocks have previously been divided...
About 9600 nautical miles of marine gravity, magnetic, and bathymetric data were collected by Oregon State University during the cruise Yucatan'85 in the north and eastern margins of the Yucatan Peninsula, using a research vessel of the Mexican Navy, the Altair. A compilation of Yucatan' 85 marine data and marine...
