In the past 100 years since the birth of fisheries oceanography, research on the early life history of fishes, particularly the larval stage, has been extensive, and much progress has been made in identifying the mechanisms by which factors such as feeding success, predation, or dispersal can influence larval survival....
Field studies were conducted in 2010 in Ontario, OR to evaluate the response of direct-seeded dry bulb onion, sugar beet, and pinto bean to imazosulfuron soil residues 12 months after application to control weeds in potato. The studies followed randomized complete block design with three replications each. Imazosulfuron was applied...
Fault zones are potential paths for release of radioactive nuclides from radioactive-waste
repositories in granitic rock. This research considers detailed maps of en echelon fault zones
at two sites in southern Sweden, as a basis for analyses of how their internal geometry can
influence groundwater flow and transport of radioactive...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF
Joel Edward Geier for the
Yellow nutsedge is an important weed problem in the furrow irrigated fields in the Treasure Valley of eastern Oregon and southwestern Idaho. Field studies were conducted in 2008 and 2009 to evaluate the effect of PPI S-metolachlor or EPTC followed by POST halosulfuron and dicamba plus glyphosate or glyphosate alone...
Field studies were conducted in 2008 in Ontario, OR and Paterson, WA to determine the effect of simulated glyphosate drift on 'Ranger Russet' potato, including visual injury, shikimic acid accumulation, and tuber yield. Glyphosate was applied at 8.5, 54, 107, 215, and 423 g ae ha(-1); which corresponds to 0.01,...
Field studies were conducted in 2011 at the Malheur Experiment Station, Ontario, OR and Prosser, WA to evaluate the effect of simulated glyphosate drift on direct-seeded dry bulb onion. Glyphosate was applied at 8.6, 25.8, 86, 290, 434, and 860 g ae ha⁻¹ when onion plants were at the flag-,...
This report is concerned with environmental and animal internal temperatures in the intertidal zone at low tide. Daily sea surface temperatures at Agate Beach, Ore., are compared to weekly measurements made near-by. Greater range and fluctuations are revealed by daily measurements. Data are provided on animal internal temperatures at low...
Total organic carbon (TOC) content of marine sediments represents residual carbon, originally derived from terrestrial and marine sources, which has survived seafloor and shallow subseafloor diagenesis. Ultimately, its preservation below the sulfate reduction zone in marine sediments drives methanogenesis. Within the gas hydrate stability zone (GHSZ), methane production along continental...
Greenhouse studies were conducted to evaluate the influence of selected adjuvants on
glyphosate efficacy on yellow nutsedge and tuber production. Glyphosate was applied
at 0, 0.25, 0.43, 0.87, 1.26 (1x rate), and 1.74 kg ae ha⁻¹ 31 d after yellow nutsedge
was planted. Each rate was mixed with one of...
