Coastal communities in the Pacific Northwest are looking for ways to increase the diversity of their economies in order to reduce the negative impacts of cyclic economic swings. The economic base of many coastal communities is directly tied to healthy, dynamic working waterfronts through fishing, recreation, tourism, ports, and allied...

Salinity, temperature, oxygen, phosphate, and nitrate observations were taken by Oregon State University on 16 hydrographic cruises in the Northeastern Pacific Ocean during 1969. Alkalinity , pH and silicate were taken on special occasions. Nine cruises were taken along the Newport line. The rest were special cruises made off Depoe...
American meteorology was synonymous with subjective weather forecasting in the early twentieth century. Controlled by the Weather Bureau and with no academic programs of its own, the few hundred extant meteorologists had no standing in the scientific community. Until the American Meteorological Society was founded in 1919, meteorologists had no...

It is impossible to place a date on the beginning of fishery research. It no doubt existed in a primitive way among the earliest civilizations. For practical reasons, the scope of this paper is limited to the four countries bordering the North Pacific--Japan, Canada, Russia and the United States--and to...
Investigations of the Pleistocene peopling of the New World require archaeologists to establish an understanding of the paleoenvironmental conditions that would have affected early foraging peoples. Other studies have focused on the timing and route of migration and the peopling of the Americas. This project contributes to the body of...

There is a fundamental distortion in our understanding of Native people, especially Native women. This distortion is rooted in imperialism and the colonization of Native lands and has created a dominant/subordinate relationship between Non-Native/Native people. Anthropological life history research has traditionally reflected this relationship. As a Native woman, the author...
