Alsea Watershed Study 1959-1972

Creator:: Souder, Jon
Abstract:: To investigate the effects of logging, three small watersheds in the Alsea River basin on the west slope of the Oregon Coast Range were selected for study. This was an interdisciplinary investigation to evaluate the influence of specific logging methods on stream regimen and on aquatic resources. The study plan...

River Restoration to Achieve a Stage 0 Condition: Summary of a Workshop Held November 5-6, 2020

Creator:: Behan, Jeff, Fetcho, K., Davis, R., and Gaines, L.
Abstract:: Restoration to achieve Stage 0 is a valley-scale, process-based (hydrologic, geologic and biological) approach that aims to reestablish stream depositional environments to maximize longitudinal, lateral, and vertical connectivity at base flows and facilitate development of dynamic, self-formed and self-sustaining wetland-stream complexes. The term Stage 0 originally described complex multi-channel conditions...

River Microbiome Composition Reflects Macroscale Climatic and Geomorphic Differences in Headwater Streams

Creator:: URycki, Dawn R., Good, Stephen P., Crump, Byron C., Chadwick, Jessica, and Jones, Gerrad D.
Abstract:: Maintaining the quality and quantity of water resources in light of complex changes in climate, human land use, and ecosystem composition requires detailed understanding of ecohydrologic function within catchments, yet monitoring relevant upstream characteristics can be challenging. In this study, we investigate how variability in riverine microbial communities can be...

Quantifying uncertainty in exposure to coastal hazards associated with both climate change and adaptation strategies : a U.S. Pacific Northwest alternative coastal futures analysis

Creator:: Mills, Alexis K., Ruggiero, Peter, Bolte, John P., Serafin, Katherine A., and Lipiec, Eva
Abstract:: Coastal communities face heightened risk to coastal flooding and erosion hazards due to sea-level rise, changing storminess patterns, and evolving human development pressures. Incorporating uncertainty associated with both climate change and the range of possible adaptation measures is essential for projecting the evolving exposure to coastal flooding and erosion, as...

A quantitative wildfire risk assessment using a modular approach of geostatistical clustering and regionally distinct valuations of assets—A case study in Oregon

Creator:: Schmidt, Andres, Leavell, Daniel, Punches, John, Rocha Ibarra, Marco A., Kagan, James S., Creutzburg, Megan, McCune, Myrica, Salwasser, Janine, Walter, Cara, and Berger, Carrie
Abstract:: The intensity and scale of wildfires has increased throughout the Pacific Northwest in recent decades, especially within the last decade, destroying vast amounts of valuable resources and assets. This trend is predicted to remain or even magnify due climate change, growing population, increased housing density. Furthermore, the associated stress of...

Public lands and private waters: scarce mesic resources structure land tenure and sage-grouse distributions

Creator:: Donnelly, J. P., Naugle, D. E., Hagen, C. A., and Maestas, J. D.
Abstract:: Water scarcity in semiarid environments provides a model system to evaluate the role of mesic resources in structuring the distribution and abundance of wildlife. We used remote sensing and point process analyses to evaluate spatio–temporal variability in limited mesic resources in relation to greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) distributions in Oregon,...

Wicked Water Problems for South-Central Texas

Creator:: Doty, Brent R.
Abstract:: Like many areas around the globe experiencing ever-growing demand for diminishing natural resources, the south-central region of Texas is facing a wicked problem in water resource planning and sustainability. This Region includes San Antonio, the seventh largest city in the U.S. With a projected population increase over one million residents...

Spatiotemporal distribution of the anti-diabetic drug, metformin, in the lower Columbia River and its effect on phytoplankton growth

Creator:: Cummings, Brittany M.
Abstract:: Water quality impacts both human and ecosystem health. Many pharmaceuticals and personal care products are considered contaminants of emerging concern (CEC) due to their bioactive properties. Among these, metformin—the most commonly prescribed drug for treatment of type 2 diabetes—has been reported at high concentrations (μg L⁻¹) in stream, lake, and...

Exploring biophysical linkages between coastal forestry management practices and aquatic bivalve contaminant exposure

Creator:: Scully-Engelmeyer, Kaegan, Granek, Elise F., Nielsen-Pincus, Max, Lanier, Andy, Rumrill, Steven S., Moran, Patrick, Nilsen, Elena, Hladik, Michelle L., and Pillsbury, Lori
Abstract:: Terrestrial land use activities present cross-ecosystem threats to riverine and marine species and processes. Specifically, pesticide runoff can disrupt hormonal, reproductive, and developmental processes in aquatic organisms, yet non-point source pollution is difficult to trace and quantify. In Oregon, U.S.A., state and federal forestry pesticide regulations, designed to meet regulatory...

A doubled down invasion of the northeast Pacific by the Asian mud shrimp, Upogebia major and its coevolved bopyrid isopod parasite, Orthione griffenis

Creator:: Chapman, John W., Li, Jingchun, McGowan, Michael F., Breitenstein, Ralph A., Appy, Ralph, Hieb, Kathryn A., Piotrowski, Christina N., and Elder, Leanne E.
Abstract:: Dramatic declines of the native northeast Pacific mud shrimp, Upogebia pugettensis over the last three decades have occurred in response to intense infestations by the Asian bopyrid isopod parasite, Orthione griffenis, that was introduced in the 1980s. We report herein the arrival of the Asian mud shrimp, Upogebia major, in...
