3) The standard deviations of the SST anomalies in the HadISST1.1 dataset are 0.2–0.4°C smaller prior to 1949 than after 1949. This nonstationarity could complicate interpretations of the long HadISST1.1 data record for some studies of climate variability. It is likely attributable mostly to the improved sampling of SST observations...
Artificial radionuclides, induced in water used as a coolant in the Hanford reactors, are discharged into the Pacific Ocean by the Columbia River. Gamma-ray spectrometric measurements show that levels of 65Zn decrease in both sediments and benthic animals with distance from the mouth of the river and with depth of...

There are times when forage producers desire a quick-growing, high quality annual forage in mid-summer in situations such as: less-than full season irrigation water supply; need for an emergency crop due to crop failure; or forage rotation crop between alfalfa stands. Currently there are few good options in these situations....

In the past ten years, variation in Oregon vineyard yields has come from two main causes: winter injury and inconsistent fruit set. Together these factors have caused significant yield variation in almost every Oregon vineyard. In 1991, a research project was started at Oregon State to develop and evaluate a...

The Natural Resources Division (NRD) of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde (CTGR), in cooperation with the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), proposes the regeneration harvest and commercial thinning of four timber sales on the Reservation of The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde (CTGR). The CTGR has a 20-year management...
Yashar is a rule based meta-tool for rapidly producing tools to increase programming speed through automating restructuring of existing source code modules so they can be reused, generating of syntax-directed tools, language-to-language translation, automated document generation , and various debugging tools. The main significance of Yashar is that it can...
This report describes sediment testing done on the Yaquina River benthos between river miles 6 and 11 (a section between Yaquina and Toledo). The sediments were found to be safe for in-water disposal, thus enabling dredging to proceed.
"The Fish Management Policy of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) directs that management plans will be prepared for each basin or management unit for the purpose of recording ongoing management and guiding future management of fish and shellfish and their habitat...The Yaquina Plan identifies objectives and activities...
In 1974, large numbers of Dungeness crabs migrated into tide pools near the South Jetty of Yaquina Bay and went through their annual molt. The public discovered the abundance of crabs, and found that they were easy prey during low tides. The situation prompted an emergency closure of the area...
This evaluation covers the approximately 30,000 cubic yards of material to be excavated from the South Beach Marina Federal project channel. . . The authorized South Beach Marina Federal project channel is 10 feet deep, 100 feet wide and 2,035 feet long. . . The channel has not been dredged...
"Nine (9) sediment samples and 1 QC duplicate were collected from Yaquina Bay and South Beach Marina (see Figures 1) on May 31, 2000. All samples were submitted for physical analyses, with 4 samples analyzed for metals (9 inorganic), total organic carbon (TOC), pesticides/polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), phenols, phthalates, miscellaneous extractables,polynuclear...
This project, commissioned in 1998, is part of the MidCoast Watersheds Council's efforts to better understand the status and condition of the area's natural resources and to work with interested landowners to enhance and protect important areas.
This manual gives step-by-step instructions for processing raw data measured by chipod and GusT turbulence sensors. These instruments are designed and manufactured by the Ocean Mixing Group in Oregon State University's College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences.
In 2009, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife initiated a process to incorporate information about climate change and its effects on fish, wildlife, and habitats into the Oregon Conservation Strategy. The agency acknowledged that climate change is already affecting Oregon’s species and habitats and that future climate change represents...

Information on winter marine bird and mammal distributions in Oregon coastal waters has been identified as a data need for marine spatial planning of ocean energy development. As part of the annual marine mammal surveys of the critical habitat for Endangered Species Act (ESA)-listed Southern Resident Killer Whales (Orcinus orca),...
The 18 winegrape varieties in this trial were in fifth leaf in 1994. Vines were pruned in February to either a Scott Henry (4 arms on a vertical trellis using two fruiting wires 12 inches apart at 30 and 42 inch height) or a guyot (a double arm on a...
Four year old vines of 18 varieties were cane pruned, trained to a Scott Henry, thinned before veraison, and harvested in October and November 1993. Two of the varieties, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, were used as standards. Only four varieties were spur pruned to reduce cropping or cluster size: Dolcetto,...
The 18 winegrape varieties in this trial were in sixth leaf in 1995. Vines were pruned in February to either a Scott Henry (3-4 permanent arms on a vertical trellis using two fruiting wires 12 inches apart at 30 and 42 inch height) plus 2 extra disposal canes on some...
An industry panel tasting of wine from the 1987 Pinot noir maturity trials (see previous article by Watson et al this issue) was conducted at OSU in April, 1988. Thirteen winemakers participated in the half-day tasting which involved both the description of the aroma and flavor of the wines and...

The purpose of this watershed assessment is to provide an inventory and characterization of
watershed conditions in the Wilson River watershed and to provide recommendations that
address the issues of water quality, fisheries and fish habitat, and watershed hydrology.
