Creator:: Haack, Tracy, Chelton, Dudley, Pullen, Julie, Doyle, James D., and Schlax, Michael
Abstract:: High-resolution mesoscale model sea surface temperature (SST) analyses and surface wind stress forecasts off the U.S. West Coast are analyzed on monthly time scales for robust signatures of air–sea interaction as the surface winds encounter ocean surface features such as SST fronts, filaments, and eddies. This interaction is manifest by...

Abstract:: Satellite observations of wind stress and sea surface temperature (SST) are analyzed to investigate ocean–atmosphere interaction in the California Current System (CCS). As in regions of strong SST fronts elsewhere in the World Ocean, SST in the CCS region is positively correlated with surface wind stress when SST fronts are...

Creator:: Pringle, James M. and Dever, Edward P.
Abstract:: In north and central California, equatorward winds drive equatorward flows and the upwelling of cold dense water over the shelf during the midspring and summer upwelling season. When the winds temporarily weaken, the upwelling flows between Point Reyes and Point Arena ‘‘relax,’’ becoming strongly poleward over the shelf. Analytical and...

Creator:: Kucera, Jennifer Moore
Abstract:: Forest harvest can have significant impacts on forest ecosystems that may influence the capacity of soils to sequester carbon (C). The microbial community controls decomposition, which is a critical process in partitioning litter- and root-C between CO₂ and storage in semi-permanent soil-C pools. The objectives of this study were to...

Creator:: Schutter, Mary E.
Abstract:: The Oregon Long-Term Soil Quality Project was initiated to identify soil properties that respond rapidly to alternative management practices. Such practices included winter cover cropping, which was implemented at two experimental research stations and several grower fields throughout the Willamette Valley. The goal of this thesis was to identify the...

Creator:: Diedhiou, Sire
Abstract:: Piliostigma reticulatum and Guiera senegalensis are two native shrubs that coexist with row crops in parkland systems of the Sahel of Africa. Although permanently green all year around in soil depleted in nutrients and dry for a nine-month period, these shrubs have been largely overlooked. Conventional management of these shrubs...

Abstract:: Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) bacteria reside in soil, plant rhizospheres, and water, but the prevalence of Bcc in outdoor environments is not clear. In this study, we sampled a variety of soil and rhizosphere environments with which people may have contact: playgrounds, athletic fields, parks, hiking trails, residential yards and...

Creator:: Barker, Tyler
Abstract:: Despite the advances in surgery, physical therapy, and pharmaceutical agents, muscle dysfunction (i.e., atrophy and weakness) continues to impair recovery from an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and surgery. Ischemia-reperfusion injury during surgery and the subsequent limb disuse are two events experienced by patients having ACL surgery. Oxidative stress and...
