How did the tsunami that resulted from the 1964 Alaska earthquake affect clam beds in Yaquina Bay? This document gives a detailed look at the state of the bay post-tidal wave. Includes reports from clam diggers and SCUBA divers, as well as visual observations.
This report presents CTD observations of temperature and salinity as a function of hydrostatic pressure in the Kuroshio Extension in May 1981. Lowerings were made from the surface to the bottom along 152°E about every 30 nautical miles between 29°N and 41°N. Identical sections were made in July 1980 and...
The purpose of the Surveying and Mapping Conference was to provide both technical information and a forum for discussion of surveying problems common to the engineer, surveyor, technician, and student. Without a growing fund of general knowledge, no profession can expect for long to survive. Conference papers contribute to the...
We present velocity observations from a shipboard acoustic doppler current profiler (ADCP) on RN Wecoma during cruise W9508b, 17-27 August 1995. Results from the short half-day cruise W9508c on 31 August 1995 are also shown. The ADCP processing procedures for W9508b are described in detail. This cruise was part of...
The ability of controlled livestock grazing, in
combination with seeding of palatable forages, to reduce
understory competition and enhance conifer
establishment, was evaluated during 1985 and 1986, on
two adjacent sites in southwestern Oregon. In 1984,
Site 1 was clearcut and broadcast burned to remove
slash, and Site 2 was...
To compete with other building materials, the wood products industry must
find a way to increase value and lower costs. Wood stiffness is important for most
wood uses. Value can be increased and costs can be lowered by sorting logs for
stiffness in the woods using acoustic devices mounted on...
For the enrichment and enumeration of Vibrio fluvialis, a
broth medium was designed by modifying alkaline peptone (AP)
medium. This new V. fluvialis enrichment medium (FEM) was shown to
be more effective than AP medium in field samplings where a total
of 177 samples (estuarine waters and sediment, sewage, and...
