We map the regional physiography and surficial lithology (Surficial Geologic Habitat or
SGH) over the continental margin of Oregon. This thesis develops, describes, and
implements an iterative interpretive method to map seafloor habitat types from disparate
geological and geophysical datasets including: bathymetric images, sidescan sonar
images, seismic reflection profiles, sediment...

DIRECTOR’S NOTES:
No Exit is a timeless tale set circa World War II. Written in 1944 during the German occupation of France, this existentialist drama imagines what happens after death --- and the punishment that might be waiting for the damned. There are no torture devices in this version of...

Plant diseases often cause serious yield losses in agriculture. A pathogen’s invasiveness can be quantified by the basic reproductive number, R₀. Since pathogen transmission between host plants depends on the spatial separation between them, R₀ is strongly influenced by the spatial scale of the host distribution.We present a proof of...

The utility of the fatty acid biomarker (FAB) approach in fisheries ecology is limited by our understanding of how
biotic and abiotic factors determine dietary markers in fish tissues. An 8-week laboratory experiment was
conducted on two species of juvenile gadids (Pacific cod, Gadus macrocephalus and walleye Pollock, Theragra
chalcogramma)...

Coastal upwelling regimes are some of the most productive ecosystems in the ocean but are also among the most vulnerable to ocean acidification (OA) due to naturally high background concentrations of CO₂. Yet our ability to predict how these ecosystems will respond to additional CO₂ resulting from anthropogenic emissions is...

The zebrafish has become an important model for cancer research. Several cancer models have
been established by transgenic expression of human or mouse oncogenes in zebrafish. Since it is
amenable to efficient transgenesis, zebrafish have immense potential to be used for studying
interaction of oncogenes and pathways at the organismal...

BACKGROUND: Targeted capture of genomic regions reduces sequencing cost while generating higher coverage by
allowing biomedical researchers to focus on specific loci of interest, such as exons. Targeted capture also has the
potential to facilitate the generation of genomic data from DNA collected via saliva or buccal cells. DNA samples...
