The rugged Cascade Range of central Oregon has been long regarded as an enigmatic, archaeological puzzle in the study of the Pacific Northwest's ancient past. While ethnographic and archaeological research in the adjacent northern Great Basin, Columbia Plateau and Willamette Valley have revealed a rich and ancient tapestry of Native...

The Santa Barbara-Montecito and Goleta basins are structurally
continuous fault-controlled Pleistocene basins containing
up to 3000 feet (925 m) of marine Pleistocene Santa Barbara Formation
which were deposited on previously deformed Sisquoc and older
strata. Structures subcropping against the unconformity at the
base of the Santa Barbara Formation show that...

Olson, Daniel
The Duzel Rock area includes four square miles in the eastern
Paleozoic subprovince of the Klamath Mountains southeast of Fort
Jones, California. The structurally complex terraine is composed
of Silurian graywacke, post-Silurian phyllite, limestone and basalt
associations, and minor andesitic intrusive rocks.
Three groups of sedimentary and extrusive rocks have...

Silicic volcanism in the central Oregon Cascade range has decreased in both the size and frequency of eruptions from its initiation at ~40 Ma to present. The reasons for this reduction in silicic volcanism are poorly constrained. Studies of the petrogenesis of these magmas have the potential for addressing this...
Sustained time series have provided compelling evidence for progressive acidification of the
surface oceans through exchange with the growing atmospheric reservoir of carbon dioxide. However,
few long-term programs exist, and extrapolation of results from one site to larger oceanic expanses is
hampered by the lack of spatial coverage inherent to...

Soil acidity is a major factor inhibiting pasture production in western Oregon. The typical management solution to acidic soil problems is to lime. However, lime cannot be incorporated directly into the soil in established pasture. The only alternative is topdress or surface apply lime and wait for soil fauna to...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF
John Rogers for
The structure of engineering curricula currently in place at most colleges and universities has existed since the early 1950's, and reflects an historical emphasis on a solid foundation in math, science, and engineering science. However, there is often not a close match between elements of the traditional engineering education, and...

The Mount Fubilan Intrusion is part of a geologically young hypabyssal stock in the Star Mountains of Papua New Guinea. This stock was mapped as the Ok Tedi Intrusive Complex and divided into four separate bodies: the Mount Fubilan, Sydney Intrusion, Kalgoorlie, and Ningi Intrusions. Hydrothermal fluids caused alteration of...

Modeling of slope flow circulations in idealized axisymmetric craters is used to understand (1) the large surface pressure amplitude observed in Gale Crater by the Rover Environmental Monitoring Station and (2) the shallow convective boundary layer (CBL) suggested by Curiosity imagery. Air temperatures vary within craters with greater amplitudes than...

BACKGROUND: Gas stoves emit pollutants that are respiratory irritants. U.S. children under age 6 who live in homes
where gas stoves are used for cooking or heating have an increased risk of asthma, wheeze and reduced lung
function. Yet few studies have examined whether using ventilation when operating gas stoves...

We evaluated the impact of predation on juvenile steelhead Oncorhynchus mykiss and yearling and subyearling Chinook Salmon O. tshawytscha by piscivorous waterbirds from 11 different breeding colonies in the Columbia River basin during 2012 and 2014. Fish were tagged with both acoustic tags and PIT tags and were tracked via...

Condors and vultures are distinct from most other terrestrial birds because they use extensive soaring flight for their daily
movements. Therefore, assessing resource selection by these avian scavengers requires quantifying the availability of
terrestrial-based habitats, as well as meteorological variables that influence atmospheric conditions necessary for soaring. In
