Teacher perspectives in ocean sciences education : a look at the SMILE-CIOSS partnership

Creator:: Rice, Bronwen
Abstract:: The Cooperative Institute for Oceanographic Satellite Studies (CIOSS) partners with The Science and Math Investigative Learning Experiences (SMILE) Program to bring ocean sciences and satellite oceanography to high school students and teachers around the state of Oregon. This study was conducted as a formative program assessment during the third year...

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...

Particulate Trace Metal Fluxes in the Western Arabian Sea and Their Links to Marine Productivity

Creator:: Flannery, Kelly M.
Abstract:: Many trace elements (e.g., Zn, Cd, Mo) are essential phytoplankton micronutrients, making them crucial to the marine ecosystem and ultimately the carbon cycle. Because of this association trace metals are also utilized in paleoceanographic studies (e.g., Mo, Cd). However, not much is known about what controls the cycling of these...

Blowout and spill occurrence model

Creator:: Sim, Lawrence H.
Abstract:: To assist with risk-assessment with deepwater and ultra-deepwater prospects for offshore energy extraction as well as provide a useful tool for oil spill response, a spatially-explicit model was developed for comprehensive simulations of a blowout event from the wellhead to final fate and degradation. The Blowout and Spill Occurrence Model...

Early high Cascade silicic volcanism : analysis of the McKenzie Canyon and Lower Bridge tuff

Creator:: Eungard, Daniel W.
Abstract:: Silicic volcanism in the central Oregon Cascade range has decreased in both the size and frequency of eruptions from its initiation at ~40 Ma to present. The reasons for this reduction in silicic volcanism are poorly constrained. Studies of the petrogenesis of these magmas have the potential for addressing this...

Investigating Provisioning Services in Urban Agriculture: A Case Study from Community Gardens in Bend, Oregon

Creator:: Maithonis, Nick D.
Abstract:: With an ever-growing urban population there is a continued interest in urban agriculture as a viable option to improve access to fresh produce and enhance food security in an increasingly urbanized world. As the primary method of urban agriculture in the United States, community gardens also provide a range of...

Beyond the Benthos: The effects of stream restoration on habitat complexity and aquatic and riparian macroinvertebrate assemblages

Creator:: Lotz, Kelsey L.
Abstract:: Aquatic and riparian systems in the western United States have been highly modified by anthropogenic impacts since Euro-American settlement. Ecological restoration is a practice that has been widely conducted around the world to mitigate the degradation of these systems. The majority of stream restoration efforts have focused on improving in-stream...

Caspian tern (Hydroprogne caspia) foraging ecology and predation on juvenile salmonids in San Francisco Bay, California

Creator:: Adrean, Lindsay J.
Abstract:: Brooks Island, located in central San Francisco Bay, California, currently supports the largest breeding colony of Caspian terns (Hydroprogne caspia) in the Bay Area, and is one of several proposed relocation sites for some Caspian terns from the world's largest colony in the Columbia River estuary of Oregon. Juvenile salmonids...

Changing landscape, climate, and life during the age of mammals: interpreting paleontology, evolving ecosystems, and climate change in the Cenozoic fossil parks

Creator:: Kenworthy, Jason P.
Abstract:: This thesis develops a manual for interpreters at six National Park Service areas established to preserve and interpret fossils of the Cenozoic Era: Fossil Butte National Monument (Wyoming), John Day Fossil Beds National Monument (Oregon), Badlands National Park (South Dakota), Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument (Colorado), Agate Fossil Beds National...

Reconstructing salinity conditions in Nares Strait (Canadian Archipelago) from stable isotope profiles in bivalve shells

Creator:: Zima, Daniela
Abstract:: Nares Strait is one of three main passages of the Canadian Archipelago that channels freshwater from the Arctic Ocean to the North Atlantic. There are very few observations regarding the role of this region on the present day Arctic freshwater budget, and even less regarding the changes in freshwater fluxes...

Passage, migration behavior, and autoecology of adult Pacific lamprey at Winchester Dam and within the North Umpqua River Basin, Oregon, USA

Creator:: Lampman, Ralph Tatsuo
Abstract:: The extensive reduction in adult Pacific lamprey (Entosphenus tridentatus) counts at many hydroelectric dams in the northwestern USA signals a substantial decline in lamprey numbers across the entire region in the past 40 to 50 years. Among the many potential causes of this decline, obstruction of migration routes has likely...
