At Oregon State University (OSU), the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) and the OSU Libraries are working together on a project to improve the effectiveness and accessibility of digital information created and collected by academic libraries. This project focuses on making digital resources more accessible through an...
Hyperion is a hyperspectral sensor on board NASA’s EO-1 satellite with a spatial
resolution of approximately 30 m and a swath width of about 7 km. It was originally designed
for land applications, but its unique spectral configuration (430 nm – 2400 nm with a ~10 nm
spectral resolution) and...
Innovativeness can help companies differentiate themselves, with the ultimate goal of securing survival and improving performance. Modern theories in organizational behavior look at innovation as something that starts with individual creativity but that is also affected by the work environment. Using one broad industry sector, the US forest products industry,...
Microphysical and chemical aerosol measurements collected during DYCOMS‐II research flights in marine stratocumulus clouds near San Diego in 2001 were used to evaluate the partitioning of 18 organic and elemental components between droplet residuals and unactivated particles. Bulk submicron particle (between 0.2 and 1.3 μm dry diameter) and droplet residual...
To raise the library's profile within the campus community, it is critical to create a strategic plan and align library goals with those of the university. At George Washington University's Gelman Library, the instruction librarians gained internal and external support to hire two new instruction librarians to better support collaboration...
From July 7 to 11, 2008, the International Coastal Atlas Network (ICAN) held a workshop on “Federated Atlases: Building on the Interoperable Approach” at the headquarters of the European Environment Agency (EEA) in Copenhagen, Denmark. The workshop (aka “ICAN 3”) engaged 29 participants from 10 countries, representing 25 organizations and...
A “smart” tracer is a tracer that provides, directly or through measurement of its concentration or in combination with another compound, at least one “bit” more of information about the environment through which it travels than a conservative tracer. In this study we propose and present the chemical compound resazurin...
Present methods used to retrieve altimeter data do not provide reliable estimates of
sea surface height (SSH) in the nearshore region, resulting in a measurement gap of
25–50 km next to the coast. In the present work, gridded SSH fields produced by
Archiving, Validation, and Interpretation of Satellite Oceanographic data...
This article investigates the origins of the variability of the Malvinas Current (MC)
transport using the results of an eddy-permitting ocean general circulation model. First, the
dynamical links between the variabilities of the MC and the Antarctic Circumpolar
Current (ACC) transports at the Drake Passage are established. Time series analyses...
