Aquatic fecal contamination from non-point sources impairs environmental health and serves as a vehicle for transmission of waterborne disease, resulting in economic losses worldwide. Accurate methods of diagnosing fecal pollution and its source are needed to prevent human exposure, remediate pollution, and reduce economic impacts. In order to obtain this...
The vegetative communities in the subalpine meadows of Hunts
Cove, Mt. Jefferson, and some of the major environmental factors
affecting them were studied in the summer of 1971. Hunts Cove is in
the subalpine Tsuga mertensiana parkland of the Central Oregon High
Cascades. Habitats within the Cove vary considerably; elevation...
Hydrographic observations were made over the continental shelf and slope off Oregon during the 1973 Coastal Upwelling Experiment (CUE-II) from three ships: R/V OCEANOGRAPHER, R/V THOMAS G. THOMPSON, and R/V YAQUINA. This report contains the observations made on four YAQUINA cruises between June and August 1973 (Table I). Observations were...
Geologic carbon sequestration is being considered in target basalt and sandstone formations. The chemical
effects of CO2 exposure on the interface between Class H Portland cement paste and Grande Ronde
Columbia River basalt, or between cement paste and Mt. Simon sandstone, has been examined at a
microstructural level. This bonding...
A gene-ecological transplant study was made on populations of
the Crepis nana and C. elegans complex from the Arctic and Alpine of
North America. Transplants were collected from the Brooks Range,
Eagle Summit, and Alaska Range in Alaska, the Rocky Mountains in
Alberta, the Olympic Mountains in Washington, the Wallowa...
