  • ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar Dating of Umpqua Group Sediments within the Oregon Coast Range: Implications for Provenance

    Creator:
    Acito, Sydney K.
    Abstract:
    New detrital mica ages from the Umpqua Group of the Oregon Coast Range provide constraints on models of Eocene sedimentation. Based on sandstone petrography, previous studies assert that the Klamath Mountains to the south are the most likely source region for Umpqua Group sedimentary provenance. However, the presence of Late...

  • Spatial and temporal variations in respiration rates and hypoxia on the Oregon shelf

    Creator:
    Wolf, Megan J.
    Abstract:
    Inner shelf hypoxia has occurred along the Oregon coast between the latitudes 44ºN and 45ºN since 2002 with increasing duration and intensity, posing a threat to marine life. The objective of this research was to determine whether variation in respiration rate explains spatial and temporal variation in hypoxia. Dissolved oxygen...

  • Finding a Place for Wood in Non-Residential Design: LEED vs. Green Globes Certification

    Creator:
    Henderson, Jordan M.
    Abstract:
    For centuries wood has served as a primary structural building material in small dwelling, large communal structures, bridges, and temporary structures. Even today wood is the dominant material in residential construction. Despite this long standing use of wood, non-residential multi-story construction in light of the green building revolution has yet...

  • The Management Control System in a Growing Family Firm

    Creator:
    Henderson, Kali L.
    Abstract:
    Many firms start off as small family businesses which are controlled through the culture imprinted on employees by the founder. As the business grows, family owners and the executives that they hire, face a dilemma – how do they manage the trade-off between wanting to control the business in order...

  • Effects of Hypoxia on Survival and Growth of Barnacle Larvae Off the Oregon Coast

    Creator:
    Amstutz, Amanda C.
    Abstract:
    In recent years off the United States Oregon coast severe hypoxic events have resulted in areas of mass vertebrate and invertebrate species mortality known as dead zones. Creation of dead zones and alteration of community species composition in response to inner shelf hypoxic conditions have been observed annually from 2002...

  • Kinetics of plankton respiration across gradient of anoxic to oxic conditions

    Creator:
    Jayawickrama, Clare
    Abstract:
    Ocean deoxygenation is predicted to increase in severity over the next few decades, posing a threat to marine life and fishing economies. Improved predictions of ocean deoxygenation depend on a better understanding of the biogeochemical mechanisms that underly this process. Within the realm of biogeochemical mechanisms, this project specifically investigated...

  • Correlation Between Coralline Algae and Community Composition in Oregon Coast Tide Pools

    Creator:
    Heppell, Dylan
    Abstract:
    Ocean acidification affects all organisms that incorporate calcium carbonate into their structure, including coralline algae. Coralline algae are a key component of the intertidal ecosystem on the Oregon coast which is why it is important that we understand how the potential loss of coralline algae to ocean acidification will impact...
