This study integrates various vineyard practices that may improve nitrogen availability to the vine, particularly during ripening. Different strategies aimed at improving fermentation behavior and wine quality are being evaluated. This study aims to optimize fruit quality and maximize the juice nitrogen fraction that can be used by yeast during...
Understanding controls on the stable isotopic composition of precipitation and vapor in the West Pacific Warm Pool is vital for accurate representation of convective processes in models and correct interpretation of isotope-based paleoclimate proxies, yet a lack of direct observational evidence precludes the utility of these isotopic tracers. Results from...

Pinot noir and Chardonnay are two of the major varieties grown in the cool climate region of the Pacific Northwest. In Oregon, Pinot noir comprised approximately 43 percent of the total acreage and approximately 6,800 were harvested in 2000. In previous years, Chardonnay (1,125 acres in 2000) had been the...
Aircraft-based in situ measurements of cirrus cloud ice water content (IWC) are
important for cloud microphysical/radiative modeling and satellite validation studies, yet
the measurements have proven challenging due, in part, to the large dynamic range of
IWC values present in cirrus clouds. To date, three instruments designed for the
measurement...
Benthic infaunal communities are important components of coastal ecosystems. Understanding the relationships between the structure of these communities and characteristics of the habitat in which they live is becoming progressively more important as coastal systems face increasing stress from anthropogenic impacts and changes in climate. To examine how sediment characteristics...

Research on regulatory mechanisms in biological populations often focuses on environmental covariates. An integrated
approach that combines environmental indices with organismal-level information can provide additional insight on
regulatory mechanisms. Survival of spring/summer Snake River Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) is consistently
low whereas some adjacent populations with similar life histories experience...
