A tidal and sea level survey was begun in Yaquina Bay, Oregon,
on 8 May, 1964. A continuous recording tide gage was installed at
the pier of the Oregon State University Marine Science Center.
An harmonic analysis of the observed data was made, and the
major tidal constants were compared...

This report vas prepared at this time at the suggestion or the Director of Research of the Oregon Fish Commission. Most of the data upon which it is based were collected by Mr. L. D. Marriage and his assistants of the Oregon Fish Commission. These data are scheduled to be...
Influences of tidal and slower (subtidal) oceanic flows over the continental shelf and slope off Oregon are studied using a high-resolution ocean circulation model and comparative model-data analyses. The model is based on the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS), a fully nonlinear, three-dimensional model (using hydrostatic and Boussinesq approximations). The...
While community ecologists have traditionally focused on local-scale processes, it has become apparent that a broader perspective, which explores the community-level ramifications of material fluxes within and between ecosystems, is necessary to effectively evaluate bottom-up influences on community structure and dynamics. In this dissertation, I employed ecosystem principles to understand...
