In the past two decades, occurrences of summertime upwelling-driven low dissolved oxygen (DO) events, or hypoxia, have increased along the northeast Pacific coast. If hypoxic events are severe enough to cause marine species mortality, the areas affected are often called "dead zones." In 2002 and again in 2006, the events...
Strategic planning and external reviews of HMSC programs highlighted local strengths, and recognized significant untapped potential for expanding HMSC academic programs. More recently, OSU has looked toward HMSC and Newport as the next site for significant expansion of educational opportunities to include an additional 500 or more students. The purpose...
Pacific harbor seals (Phoca vitulina richardii) are one of Oregon’s most common coastal predators, numbering between 10,000 and 12,000 individuals (Brown et al. 2005b).
