Mitigating Microplastics : Development and Evaluation of a Middle School Curriculum

Creator:

Kowalski, Marie

Abstract:

Microplastics, plastic marine debris less than 5 mm in size, is a threat to the health of our oceans. One important way to reduce microplastics in our oceans is to educate people about the issue, particularly future decision-makers. In this study, a middle school curriculum was developed using current scientific...

Ecological Consequences of Marine Debris: Understanding Large-Scale Species Transport on Tsunami Debris and Research Priorities in Oregon

Creator:

Gillman, Reva A.

Abstract:

The release of marine debris into the oceans and seas is a global issue of growing concern. These materials are harmful to marine environments and can also transport non-native species to novel habitats. Non-native species floating on marine litter is one of the lesser known impacts associated with marine debris....

Hydraulic experiments on impact forces from tsunami-driven debris

Creator:

Ko, Harrison T.

Abstract:

Impact by an idealized shipping container on a column were observed for tsunami flow in a large-scale wave flume modeled at the O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory at Oregon State University. Two specimen types, aluminum and acrylic, were tested; and each specimen was tested in two orientations, longitudinal and transverse....
