Anglers and naturelovers prize steelhead trout for their mystique and power. Oregon has two subspecies of steelhead (so-called because of the metallic appearance of maturing adults) or rainbow trout: a coastal form and an inland form.
With growing populations and consumer demand, there has been a turn to the deep sea to meet our natural resource needs. The deep sea provides a range of benefits to humans—called ecosystem services—including carbon sequestration, fisheries, waste absorption and detoxification, and nutrient cycling, all of which are vital to life...
This field guide covers the flora and fauna you may see along the one-mile Yaquina Estuary nature trail. The trailhead is on the east side of the Visitor Center at the Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport, Oregon.
Confluence is a newsletter of Oregon Sea Grant promoting discovery, understanding, and resilience for Oregon coastal communities and ecosystems. Articles feature the supported research and events of the program.
CTD observations of temperature and salinity were made off the coast of Peru between 5°S and 16°S from the R/V MELVILLE, 4 March - 22 May 1977, and the R/V ISELIN, 5 April - 19 May 1977. These observations were made as part of MAM 77, the final phase of...
PURPOSE: To determine physical, plankton and nutrient/chemical conditions over the continental
margin for climate change studies in NE Pacific. In particular, to make CTD and CTD/rosette and net
tow stations along the Newport Hydro line, to make continuous bio-acoustic observations between
the 50-500m. isobath, and to make continuous observations of...
Just as the structure of a protein determines its function, protein motions and lack-of-structure are also key to regulating protein behavior. The human eye lens is made up of high concentrations of extremely stable crystallin proteins, but even in this context, small motions over time can cause a loss of...
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted life for populations all over the world. One population that has been uniquely impacted by the pandemic is the student-athlete population. Over the last two years, universities took safety precautions by first sending students home and moving teaching and learning to a remote format and...
