  • Evaluating Community Engagement in Wave Energy Siting off the Oregon Coast

    Creator:
    Goodwin, Briana
    Abstract:
    The ocean off Oregon's coast is a busy place with many activities occurring that can sometimes be in competition or cooperation. Deciding how new uses fit with existing ocean uses is complex, but there are some tools available to help decision-makers. Generating energy from waves is an emerging ocean use...

  • 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...

  • A Bayesian approach to habitat suitability prediction

    Creator:
    Lockett, Daniel Edwin, IV
    Abstract:
    For the west coast of North America, from northern California to southern Washington, a habitat suitability prediction framework was developed to support wave energy device siting. Concern that wave energy devices may impact the seafloor and benthos has renewed research interest in the distribution of marine benthic invertebrates and factors...

  • Spatiotemporal Drivers of Seabird Distribution at the Pacific Marine Energy Center off Newport, Oregon

    Creator:
    Porquez, Jessica M.
    Abstract:
    The central Oregon coast was selected as an ideal site for wave energy development and establishment of the Pacific Marine Energy Center (PMEC). PMEC will consist of two nearshore sites, one north (NETS) and one south (SETS) of the Yaquina River, Oregon. Our study aims to assess how the development...
