  • Effects of Hypoxia on Survival and Growth of Barnacle Larvae Off the Oregon Coast

    Creator:
    Amstutz, Amanda C.
    Abstract:
    In recent years off the United States Oregon coast severe hypoxic events have resulted in areas of mass vertebrate and invertebrate species mortality known as dead zones. Creation of dead zones and alteration of community species composition in response to inner shelf hypoxic conditions have been observed annually from 2002...

  • Correlation Between Coralline Algae and Community Composition in Oregon Coast Tide Pools

    Creator:
    Heppell, Dylan
    Abstract:
    Ocean acidification affects all organisms that incorporate calcium carbonate into their structure, including coralline algae. Coralline algae are a key component of the intertidal ecosystem on the Oregon coast which is why it is important that we understand how the potential loss of coralline algae to ocean acidification will impact...

  • Kinetics of plankton respiration across gradient of anoxic to oxic conditions

    Creator:
    Jayawickrama, Clare
    Abstract:
    Ocean deoxygenation is predicted to increase in severity over the next few decades, posing a threat to marine life and fishing economies. Improved predictions of ocean deoxygenation depend on a better understanding of the biogeochemical mechanisms that underly this process. Within the realm of biogeochemical mechanisms, this project specifically investigated...
