This is an informational document provided by the Oregon Wave Energy Trust (OWET) for the purposes developing a broad understanding of the current regulatory framework among stakeholders, regulators, and developers in the wave energy industry. To that end, this document provides a high-level summary of federal and state authorizations that...
This article presents the results of an exploratory study asking faculty in the first-year writing
program and instruction librarians about their research process focusing on results specifically

We report ³He/⁴He for 150 mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB) glasses from the Southeast Indian
Ridge (SEIR). Between 81°E and 101°E ³He/⁴He varies from 7.5 to 10.2 R[subscript A], encompassing more than half the
MORB range away from ocean island hot spots. Abrupt transitions are present and in one case the...
