Development of an economical, autonomous pHstat system for culturing phytoplankton under steady state or dynamic conditions

Creator:: Golda, Rachel L., Golda, Mark D., Hayes, Jacqueline A., Peterson, Tawnya D., and Needoba, Joseph A.
Abstract:: Laboratory investigations of physiological processes in phytoplankton require precise control of experimental conditions. Chemostats customized to control and maintain stable pH levels (pHstats) are ideally suited for investigations of the effects of pH on phytoplankton physiology, for example in context of ocean acidification. Here we designed and constructed a simple,...

The Deep Sea and Me: A Design-Based Research Study to Advance Public Literacy of the Deep Sea Using an Exhibit at a Public Marine Science Center

Creator:: Darr, Katherine D.
Abstract:: With growing populations and consumer demand, there has been a turn to the deep sea to meet our natural resource needs. The deep sea provides a range of benefits to humans—called ecosystem services—including carbon sequestration, fisheries, waste absorption and detoxification, and nutrient cycling, all of which are vital to life...

A Tale of Two Counties : Exploring Co-Produced Coastal Adaptation Strategies in Tillamook County, OR and Grays Harbor County, WA

Creator:: Evans-Wilent, Janan K.
Abstract:: Coastal communities throughout the US West Coast and elsewhere are facing the daunting task of preparing for climate change impacts, particularly the hazards from increased flooding and erosion. With sea-level rise, changing storminess patterns, and possible changes to the frequency and severity of major El Niño events, communities are already...

Fisheries Connectivity Networks to Measure the Adaptive Capacity of Small-Scale Fisheries in the Baja California Peninsula, Mexico

Creator:: Nomura, Keiko
Abstract:: Small-scale fisheries around the world are increasingly facing pressures from a range of environmental, economic, and social sources. In order to sustain the societal benefits of small-scale fisheries, it is imperative to understand how fishing communities adapt to disturbances. Fishermen often catch multiple different species as an adaptation technique because...

Developing Tools to Utilize the Oregon State University Woody Plant Collection and Establish a Campus Arboretum

Creator:: Blanchard, William D.
Abstract:: Oregon State University campus grounds have long been admired for their beauty and the diversity of over 65,000 individual woody plants that grace the 570 acres of campus. The woody plant collection has provided a living learning laboratory for the university and surrounding community for decades. The campus grounds include...

Assessment of vessel disturbance to gray whales to inform sustainable ecotourism

Creator:: Sullivan, Florence A. and Torres, Leigh G.
Abstract:: Ecotourism is a movement that seeks to sustain local communities by uniting conservation, travel, and education. To minimize effects on animal behavior, ecotourism operations must be carefully managed. Local management efforts that can be tailored to the specific area and animals may be more successful than broad‐scale efforts that may...

Integrated Engineering-Economic Model for the Assessment of Regional Economic Vulnerability to Tsunamis

Creator:: Chen, Yunguang, Park, Hyoungsu, Chen, Yong, Corcoran, Patrick, Cox, Daniel, Reimer, Jeffrey J., and Weber, Bruce
Abstract:: The impact of a tsunami can vary greatly across short distances due to differences in topography, building structures, concentration of economic activities in the inundation zone, and economic linkages beyond the inundation zone. This study takes these factors into account in an analysis of a potential tsunami on the West...

A sea of troubles? Evaluating user conflicts in the development of ocean energy

Creator:: de Groot, Jiska, Campbell, Maria, Reilly, Kieran, Colton, John, and Conway, Flaxen D. L.
Abstract:: As an emerging industry, ocean energy (OE) is expected to play a major contributory role to reach long-term global emissions reductions targets. The offshore environment has become the new frontier for renewable energy production with many high-capacity wind parks and other technologies such as tidal and wave energy being increasingly...

The Role of Vegetation in Determining Dune Morphology, Exposure to Sea-Level Rise, and Storm-Induced Coastal Hazards : A U.S. Pacific Northwest Perspective

Creator:: Ruggiero, Peter, Hacker, Sally, Seabloom, Eric, and Zarnetske, Phoebe
Abstract:: This chapter is part of Barrier Dynamics and Response to Changing Climate. Coastal foredunes are often the “first line of defense” for backshore infrastructure from the hazards of erosion and flooding, and they are key components of coastal ecosystems. The shape and growth characteristics of coastal foredunes, typically characterized by...
