Upwelling jets flow alongshore in approximate geostrophic balance with the onshore pressure gradient induced by coastal upwelling. Observations of such jets have shown that they often move offshore downstream of capes, leaving a pool of upwelled water inshore. Comparisons are made between this behavior and the hydraulic transition of a...
An exact integral solution for the moisture profile in growing fingers in sandy soil is derived from Richards' equation. The solution provides moisture content along a finger as a function of position and time and provides applicable results, including the calculation of the asymptotic matric potential of a growing finger...
This document is an analysis to determine whether Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach, Oregon should be closed to collection of non-food invertebrates, giving background for the area and discussing salient points.
In the late 1950s, "two California men" came to Oregon to learn if there were abalone here, and found them in the southern part of the state. The resulting publicity and interest inspired this document, an attempt to develop regulations for a new fishery. It is an internal discussion paper...

By mapping the three-dimensional density field while simultaneously tracking a subsurface, isopycnal float, direct observations of upwelling along a shelfbreak front were made on the southern flank of Georges Bank. The thermohaline and bio-optical fields were mapped using a towed undulating vehicle, and horizontal velocity was measured with a shipboard...

Motor skill deficits are present and persist in school-aged children with autism
spectrum disorder (ASD; Staples & Reid, 2010). Yet the focus of intervention is
on core impairments, which are part of the diagnostic criteria for ASD, deficits in
social communication skills. The purpose of this study is to determine...

This report is a brief overview of the status of Oregon’s oyster aquaculture in the mid to late 1970s, including discussions of trends in harvests and research into oyster breeding.
