Lipid biomarkers in sediments are widely used to infer environmental conditions that have
occurred in the geological past, but these reconstructions require a careful consideration of the
biotic and abiotic processes that degrade and alter the lipid biomarker compositions before
and after deposition. In this paper, we use alkenones produced...
This thesis is an effort to formalize and document some of the changes occuring in the Warwar Valley of Gongola State, Nigeria, West Africa. The documentation will comprise a photographic study over time accompanied by an ethnographic narrative. Information gathered from photographic images, field notes and the anthropological record will...

Detailed mapping and geochemical analysis of Oligocene to early
Pliocene volcanic rocks in the Little Walker volcanic center, Mono
County, California have revealed a complex eruptive history. After
eruption of widespread rhyolitic ash flows of the Valley Springs
Formation in the Oligocene, Miocene to early Pliocene volcanism of
the western...
The middle to upper Eocene Tillamook Volcanics form the basement in the Rock
Creek - Rocky Point area. These tholeiitic to alkalic basalts, basaltic andesites, and
andesites were erupted as shield volcanoes seaward of the strandline ontop of an older
deep-marine mudstone unit (Yamhill Formation) and an accreted portion of...
In this presentation Fernández gives updates regarding the American Theatre Archive Project and describes the Oregon Multicultural Archives' relationships and project plans with two performing arts groups in Oregon: the Miracle Theatre Group and the Obo Addy Legacy Project.

The objective of this research is to determine the correlation of lacustrine micro-fossils in Lake Tanganyika to changes in climate and lake levels during the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene.
Lake Tanganyika is the second deepest and one of the oldest lakes in the world. The horst and graben geometry...
On the basis of their morphology and seasonal thermal characteristics, recurrent slope lineae (RSL) on Mars have been inferred to be a possible result of the flow of a liquid (likely a saline brine) through the upper portions of the martian regolith. In this note, we analyze repeat HiRISE imaging...
The City of Newport, in Lincoln County, is undergoing change in response to shifts in
demographics and the economic base. Following a 1990 report, a comparative growth study of the region
was initiated to observe the effectiveness of Oregon's mandatory urban growth boundaries. Data was
collected for land use permits...
The Whitewater River area is located directly east of Mt. Jefferson in the Cascades of central Oregon. Approximately 90 mi2 (230 km2) were mapped (scale 1/24,000) and four new K-Ar ages and 151 major element analyses were obtained in a study of the stratigraphic
and magmatic transition from the Miocene...
Timber management of coastal watersheds in southwest Oregon has
been complicated by the need to protect anadromous fish habitat from
accelerated stream sedimentation resulting from management activity.
The rugged terrain of the Elk and Sixes River basins is underlain by
the complex geological province of the Klamath Mountains, in which...
Although a large number of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers covering the entire genome are needed to enable molecular breeding efforts such as genome wide association studies, fine mapping, genomic selection and marker-assisted selection in peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] and related Prunus species, only a limited number of genetic...
Freshwater ecosystems in the mid- to
upper-latitudes of the northern hemisphere are particularly
vulnerable to the impact of climate change as
slight changes in air temperature can alter the form,
timing, and magnitude of precipitation and consequent
influence of snowmelt on streamflow dynamics. Here,
we examine the effects of hydro-climate,...
