Decoding DOM Degradation with Metatranscriptomics : How Do Sunlight and Microbial Communities Interact to Degrade Dissolved Organic Matter in Arctic Freshwaters?

Creator:: Nalven, Sarah G.
Abstract:: Arctic soils are warming, making vast stores of organic carbon available for conversion to CO₂. This could create a positive feedback loop and accelerate global warming, but the processes that convert this carbon into CO₂ are not well understood. We investigated how the combined activities of sunlight and microbes degrade...

Adapting the Community Based Social Marketing Framework to Create Actionable Messages About Plastic Pollution at the Oregon Coast Aquarium

Creator:: Nalven, Katharine B.
Abstract:: Because of their convenience and durability, single-use plastic items have become a ubiquitous part of society since the 1930s. The overuse of these convenient and durable plastic items has created a social and environmental problem that plagues our oceans and waterways. While the issue is overwhelming and daunting, it is...

Physical factors affecting the spatial distribution of infaunal bivalve assemblages and species along the continental shelf of the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Labou, Stephanie Grace
Abstract:: The spatial distribution and abundance patterns of benthic infauna result from interactions with a host of environmental variables including sediment characteristics (percent silt-clay, grain size, total organic carbon), depth, temperature, and dissolved oxygen. This thesis focuses on the association of bivalve assemblages and species with potentially influential environmental variables along...

Morphology, Sediment Microbial Analysis, and Species Distribution Modeling of a New Offshore Population of Ghost Shrimp (Neotrypaea sp.)

Creator:: Hardisty, Sarah
Abstract:: In 2019, a multi-cohort population of the typically estuarine burrowing shrimp Neotrypaea sp., was discovered approximately 7 miles offshore of Newport, Oregon. Morphological analysis of the offshore population, microbial sediment sequencing, and species distribution modeling was conducted with this new offshore population. In order to identify Neotrypaea sp. to the...

A Geometric Morphometric Analysis of Projectile Point Maintenance using Experimental Resharpening Techniques: An Examination of PFP1 Curation, Cooper’s Ferry Site, Idaho

Creator:: Skinner, Sarah M.
Abstract:: The incorporation of experimental archaeology into the study of lithic technologies has provided archaeologists with a framework to understand past behaviors. The analysis of stone tools has the potential to reveal morphologic characteristics unique to the manufacture, use, and maintenance of stone tools. The implementation of controlled experiments to identify...

Assessing the Impact of Fishery Bait on Spatiotemporal Variation in the Feeding Ecology of Dungeness Crab (Cancer magister) Using Stable Isotopes, Gut Content Analysis & Fishermen Interviews

Creator:: Harbison, Toby N.
Abstract:: The commercial Dungeness crab (Cancer magister) fishery is Oregon’s largest trap-based fishery. Each year, crab vessels discard millions of pounds of bait, including squid, razor clams, and sardines, into the near-coastal ocean. Although the fishery season typically runs from December 1st through August 14th, most landings occur within the first...

Patterns of benthic macroinvertebrate communities and habitat associations in temperate continental shelf waters of the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Lee, Timothy Seung-chul
Abstract:: Macroinvertebrates constitute the backbone of megafaunal communities in benthic ecosystems around the globe. Many macroinvertebrates have vital roles in benthic ecosystems, ranging from enhancing habitat complexity to providing staple food sources for other organisms. Regardless of how familiar macroinvertebrates are to the general public, very few studies have attempted to...

Characterization of ecosystem structure and function recovery within the NOAA MOC-P mitigation basin, Newport, Oregon

Creator:: Lewis, Nate S.
Abstract:: Seagrass ecosystems are considered some of the most productive coastal habitats in the world. One such seagrass within estuaries of the Pacific Northwest, Zostera marina (eelgrass), is recognized to be an ecosystem engineering species that provides many important ecosystem functions and services. In 2010, construction of the National Oceanic and...

Seismic survey vessel noise pollution in nearshore Southern Oregon : spatial and temporal analysis of demersal fish movements

Creator:: Borland, Lauren K.
Abstract:: Sound is a crucial aspect of the underwater environment for fishes – various species use sound to communicate, identify predators, navigate, and many other activities needed for survival in their habitat. Disruptions and disturbances in the natural soundscape can have important impacts on all these activities and are likely to...

The Effects of Artificial Structures on Estuarine Infaunal Communities and Offshore Biofouling Communities

Creator:: Mendoza, Maritza
Abstract:: For hundreds of years, coastal and marine ecosystems have experienced increasing threats due to the cumulative effects of increasing population growth and dependence on these ecosystems. Thus, there has been increased enthusiasm to mitigate the negative effects of human actions through the use of cleaner sources of energy, like marine...
