Grain is produced on upwards of 100,000 acres in the Klamath Basin including nearly 50,000 acres within the Klamath Reclamation Project. Susceptibility to late spring frosts has historically limited winter cereal production and spring cereals have accounted for the majority of production. Klamath Basin Research & Extension Center (KBREC) cereal...
Armyworm caterpillars can be a troublesome pest in cereal grains grown in the Pacific Northwest states. This publication presents information about the pest and its control.
Spatial patterns of summer streamflow in the Cascade Mountains of Oregon vary dramatically between the geologically distinct High and Western Cascade regions. A key control is the partitioning of water input between a fast-draining shallow subsurface flow network (Western Cascades) versus a slow-draining deeper groundwater system (High Cascades). These differences...
This document partially addresses the Wetlands component of San Juan County’s Critical Areas Ordinance (CAO). Drawing from a foundation in best available science, it describes important functions performed by the County's wetlands, effects of various activities on those functions, and strategies for protecting wetland functions from impacting activities, with an...
This work was funded by OWET as part of its efforts to support policy and regulatory framework development to advance the wave energy industry. During the development of the Management Approaches, Phased Development, Marine Spatial Planning, and Socioeconomics sections of the Framework, key gaps in the available information and data...
This publication offers an integrated approach to effective weed management in Christmas trees, incorporating diverse strategies and practices to keep weed populations off balance. It includes strategies for using prevention, mechanical means, cover crops and vegetated strips, flame weeding, and biological and chemical controls. Emphasis in chemical recommendations is on...
Neptune Wave Power, LLC (‘NWP’), worked with OWET, the Northwest National Marine Renewable
Energy Center (‘NNMREC’) and Oregon State University (O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory) to
build and test a 1/10 scale model wave energy conversion (‘WEC’) device. This model is based upon
NWP patented technology and was the latest...
What are Group-determined Projects?
A group-determined project is one that allows an adult or teen volunteer and group of youth to select, plan, develop, and evaluate their own project.
The project:
• May take a different direction or expand upon an existing project
• May be one not currently available...
This presentation was given as part of Oregon State University's College of Oceanographic and Atmospheric Sciences graduate student seminar series. It is critical to understand waves dynamics in order to design wave energy convertors and then deploy them in arrays. Modelling suggests that array interactions lead to constructive and destructive...
Video measurements of wave runup were collected during extreme storm conditions characterized by energetic long swells (peak period of 16.4 s and offshore height up to 6.4 m) impinging on steep foreshore beach slopes (0.05–0.08). These conditions induced highly dissipative and saturated conditions over the low-sloping surf zone while the...
