An analysis of Data Management Plans (DMPs) can offer insight into local data management practices. The IMLS- funded “Data management plans as A Research Tool (DART) Project” has developed an analytic rubric to assist librarians in facilitating and standardizing the review of DMPs. This panel will consist of data specialists...
Spring Chinook Salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha are transported above dams in the Willamette River to provide access to blocked spawning habitat. However, 30–95% of these transplants may die before spawning in some years. To varying degrees, salmon in other tributaries—both blocked and unblocked—have similar prespawn mortality (PSM) rates. Our study determined...
Funding agencies increasingly require a data management plan (DMP) with funding proposals, which describe how data generated in the proposed work will be managed, preserved and shared. Data management plans are a rich source of information about an institution’s researchers and their research data management (RDM) knowledge, capabilities, and needs....
Early-successional stages have been truncated and altered in many western U.S. forest landscapes by planting conifers, controlling competing vegetation, suppressing fire, and focusing on maintaining late-seral species and undisturbed riparian zones. Declining area of early-successional stages may be reducing resilience and sustainability on landscapes that experience elevated disturbance related to...
Research data has gained wider acceptance as important scholarly products in and of themselves, and funding agencies, such as the National Science Foundation (NSF), have introduced requirements for Data Management Plans (DMPs) and data archiving. Accordingly, academic and research libraries are devoting significant consideration, effort, and resources toward expanding their...
Gas hydrates, pervasive in continental margin sediments, are expected to release methane in response to ocean warming, but the geographic range of dissociation and subsequent flux of methane to the ocean are not well constrained. Sediment column thermal models based on observed water column warming trends offshore Washington (USA) show...
Histology is often underutilized in aquatic animal disease screening and diagnostics. The agreement between histological classifications of infection and results using diagnostic testing from the American Fisheries Society's Blue Book was conducted with 4 common salmon pathogens: Aeromonas salmonicida, Renibacterium salmoninarum, Ceratomyxa shasta, and Nanophyetus salmincola. Adult Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus...
