knowledge in Oregon. The founders also planned to assist in the
discovery and development of the state's natural resources. The

Professional organizations in the fields of counseling and psychotherapy-related professions all require counselors and counseling students to work with a vast array of potential clients who may differ significantly from themselves.

Insight into the dependence of benthic communities on biological and physical processes in nearshore pelagic environments, long considered a ``black box,'' has eluded ecologists. In rocky intertidal communities at Oregon coastal sites 80 km apart, differences in abundance of sessile invertebrates, herbivores, carnivores, and macrophytes in the low zone were...
Air trapped in glacial ice offers a means of
reconstructing variations in the concentrations of atmospheric
gases over time scales ranging from anthropogenic
(last 200 yr) to glacial/interglacial (hundreds of thousands of
years). In this paper, we review the glaciological processes by
which air is trapped in the ice and...
While high-performance computing is a fundamental component of CyberGIS, equally important is establishing a fundamental connection between CyberGIS and the various user communities requiring it. This involves the sharing, communication, and collaboration of authoritative, relevant spatial science not only among GIS specialists within their respective organizations, but across relat-ed scientific...
