The Steamboat Creek basin drains 227 mi² (588 km²) of steep forested terrain into the North Umpqua River of Southwest Oregon, 39
mi (63 km) northeast of Roseburg. Summer base flows for Steamboat Creek average 83 cfs (2.35 m³/sec). Steamboat Creek and its
tributaries are considered important to the production...
Steven Universe, a relatively new show from Cartoon Network, explores an unexpectedly complex understanding of gender through their main protagonists. Utilizing Judith Butler’s work on gender performativity and doing gender, as well as Daniel Dennett’s conception of the self as a theorist’s fiction, and Alexander Weheliye’s understanding of power and...
Several uranium anomalies, with concentrations of U₃0₈ that
average below 0.003 percent and reach maximums of 0.069 percent,
are associated with black, fossiliferous, pyritic parts of the Ordovician
Ledbetter Slate in northern Stevens County, Washington. The most
uraniferous parts of the slate occur in small (average of 5 by 30...
This research focuses on events surrounding the activities of Battery
Freeman, a coastal defense facility constructed within the earthworks of "old" Fort
Stevens near Astoria, OR, in 1900 and destroyed in 1939. Archival data are used
in conjunction with nearly 5,000 artifacts that were recovered from archaeological
excavations in 1989...
A diagnostic modeling study of the cloud and precipitation
processes, and also frontogenesis have been analyzed in a severe
narrow cold-frontal rainband with the aid of a three-dimensional,
diagnostic cloud model.
The results of the model simulations indicate that the heavy
precipitation just behind the surface cold front was associated...
This study is mainly concentrated on examining the positive cloud-to-ground lightning activity associated with Mesoscale Convective Systems. Six MCS events which occurred during the O.K. PRE-STORM program in 1985 are studied. Data indicating the location and polarity of the cloud-to-ground lightning flashes from a lightning location network are analyzed in...
Black rockfish (Sebastes melanops) is an important marine recreational species throughout the Pacific Northwest. Recent catch data indicate a trend of age-truncation in the black rockfish population off the Oregon coast, with older females rapidly disappearing from the population. In populations with broad age distributions, older fish may contribute disproportionately...
