Probabilistic flood hazard assessment is a promising methodology for estuarine risk assessment but currently remains limited by prohibitively long simulation times. This study addresses this problem through the development of an emulator, or surrogate model, which replaces the simulator (in this case the coupled ADCIRC+SWAN model) with a statistical representation...
Many habitat selection studies have focused on the importance of spatiotemporal scales and sample size, yet often hidden within is a trade-off between using more animal locations versus more predictive covariates. Few have evaluated the outcome of choosing between these two different paths even though the trade-off can have significant...
Oregon State University operates a World-Wide Standard Seismograph
Station at Corvallis (COR) and a seismic station at Klamath Falls
(KFO), Oregon. Data recorded at the Portland (PTD), Oregon, seismic
station, operated by the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, are
included in this Seismological Bulletin.
The Corvallis station includes three...
This project was carried out collaboratively by Oregon State University (OSU) and the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) and involved continuation of the beach monitoring program begun in summer 2009 to determine baseline conditions and beach variability at the site of the planned Reedsport wave energy conversion...
Planetary or Rossby waves are the predominant way in which the ocean adjusts on long (year to decade) timescales. The motion of long planetary waves is westward, at speeds ≥1 cm s⁻¹ . Until recently, very few experimental investigations of such waves were possible because of scarce data. The advent...
The authors have used a spectral, primitive equation mechanistic model of the stratosphere and mesosphere
to simulate observed stratospheric flow through the winters of 1991–92 and 1994–95 by forcing the model at
100 hPa with observed geopotential height. The authors assess the model’s performance quantitatively by
comparing the simulations with...
In this report, a response is given to the charge of this study. Volume I: Summary Report includes a synopsis of the technical considerations followed by the main findings and recommendations. The full technical background for these summary statements is given in detail in Volume II: Technical Background Report, and...
