Shore protection structures in Oregon : An analysis of demand and the implementation of engineering recommendations

Creator:: Chenault, Carla Diane and Chenault, Carla D.
Abstract:: Stabilization structures are the most commonly used form of shore protection along the Oregon coast. Eighty-five percent of the hard stabilization structures built in Oregon from 1976 – 1999 were riprap revetments. An evaluation was conducted of 143 riprap revetments in the northern three counties of Oregon. Clear trends exist...

Fishermen in Ocean Observing Research

Creator:: Holmes, Susan
Abstract:: Recent observational programs to understand the coastal ocean, like the Oregon Coastal Ocean Observing System (OrCOOS) are under development (www.orcoos.org). A challenge in facing observing systems is achieving spatial and temporal coverage at scales that are useful for ocean modeling. Observational buoys are relatively few and towed arrays and gliders...

Oregon’s Non-Consumptive Recreational Ocean User Community : Understanding an Ocean Stakeholder

Creator:: Eardley, Christopher S. and Conway, Flaxen D. L.
Abstract:: Oregon is in the midst of major changes to the way it manages use of the ocean off its shores. Consideration for all stakeholder groups will contribute to defensible decisions regarding the use of ocean and coastal resources. This relies on an understanding of the various stakeholders in ocean resources,...

Ocean Views: Characterizing Risk Perception, Uncertainty, and Decision-making Within the Ocean Condition Forecast System

Creator:: Kuonen, Jessica A.
Abstract:: Ocean users and marine scientists both have connections to the sea. This research explores how the nature of their connection to the sea leads to different perceptions of risk and comfort with uncertainty, and how these differences might be important to consider when one group has information another group needs....

Changing Ocean Chemistry: A High School Curriculum on Ocean Acidification’s Cause, Impacts, and Solutions

Creator:: Erickson, Brian and Crews, Tracy
Abstract:: This five-lesson curriculum seeks to increase students' understanding of ocean acidification (OA) and help them understand that it is an issue they can address. There are five lessons in the unit and a final Call to Action project. Lesson 1 explores a real-life story about the near collapse of the...

Ocean hazards at Bandon, Oregon and scenario for coastal development

Creator:: Torstenson, Roger William
Abstract:: The community of Bandon is located on the southern half of the Oregon coast, 140 kilometers north of the California border and 40 kilometers south of Coos Bay (Figure 1). Part of the city occupies the low-lying (average 3-meter elevation) area along the south bank of the Coquille River, while...

Ocean Science in The SMILE Program : Combining Ocean Literacy and Concept Mapping as an Aid for Curriculum Development

Creator:: Dover, Laura H.
Abstract:: This study reports on the creation and testing of a model concept-mapping process that will aid the development and documentation of ocean science educational content of The Science and Math Investigative Learning Experiences (SMILE) Program, a pre-college science and math enrichment program based at Oregon State University. The project uses...

Ocean electrical energy generation : An overview and potential for Oregon's Territorial Sea

Creator:: Smith, Gary Frederick
Abstract:: This report deals with the current status of four promising sources of electrical energy generation from the oceans. They are, in sequence; Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion: Where energy is obtained by exploiting the temperature differences between warm surface waters, and much deeper colder waters. Tidal Energy: Where differences in water...

Policy recommendations of the U.S. Commission on ocean policy : Is public input represented?

Creator:: Hamilton, Jessica S.
Abstract:: This study analyzes public participation in nine regional hearings and six public meetings held by the U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy (USCOP) from September 2001 to April 2003. While several researchers have examined whether certain public involvement methods are considered successful or fair, this study characterizes the participants in a...

Cooperative product development between researchers and commercial fishermen to find applications for ocean condition forecasting technology

Creator:: Duncan, Colin
Abstract:: This is a case study of the cooperative development of an ocean condition forecasting tool by Oregon commercial fishermen, Oregon State University (OSU) scientists, and OSU student software engineers. Ocean condition forecasting models developed by OSU scientists were used to create an online tool to assist decision-making for fishermen. This...
