The time and space variability of wave transformation through a tidal inlet is investigated with radar remote sensing. The frequency of wave breaking and the net wave breaking dissipation at high spatial resolution is estimated using image sequences acquired with a land-based X-band marine radar. Using the radar intensity data,...
This book contains descriptions of 15 native and 16 nonnative fish (including origin, distribution, key characteristics, size, distinguishing features, color, diet, and other remarks) found in the Willamette River Basin's seasonal watercourses, with over a hundred photos to aid in identification. It also offers a succinct explanation of the Willamette...
Carbonate communities:The activity of anaerobic methane oxidizing microbes facilitates
precipitation of vast quantities of authigenic carbonate at methane seeps. Here we demonstrate
the significant role of carbonate rocks in promoting diversity by providing unique habitat
and food resources for macrofaunal assemblages at seeps on the Costa Rica margin
(400–1850 m)....

This research paper is an analysis of the electric energy industry
in Mexico since its inception in 1879. The research is based entirely
on library sources plus documents secured from the Federal Electricity
Commission of Mexico. Only minimal documentary evidence is
available in English, consequently the Oregon State University library...
What historical and political reality is reflected in the novels Gringo viejo and La frontera de cristal? What is revealed when the characters, plot, and setting of the novels are analyzed against research of the context of U.S.-Mexico relations? We begin to explore these questions by studying three periods crucial...
This thesis is an offering, request, testimonio, refusal, and compliance to the discipline of anthropology and higher education. In this thesis, I engage with different forms of storytelling to highlight the relationships of mixed-status families in the United States. To accomplish this, I draw on the experiences of my mother...
The objectives were to bathymetrically survey areas in the Central Gulf of California where laminated sediments were discovered previously, core with lightweight marine geologic gravity corer, and recover well preserved surface sediment up to 2-3 meters in length. These laminated sediments will essentially be used to establish a model of...
