This is the second report of a study designed to establish the
current patterns and water mass characteristics existing along the
Oregon coast. Surveys reported on previously were concerned with
monthly samples from a maximum depth of 100 feet and out to 25 miles
offshore from Newport, Oregon. Since December...
Gravity observations were made with the LaCoste-Romberg underwater
gravity meter during July and August 1962 at 149 stations
in an area 10 by 40 miles (44°10' to 44°50'N latitude and 124°
07' to 124°20'W longitude) off the north-central Oregon coast
from Heceta Head to Depoe Bay. The primary purpose of...
With 150 million people visiting accredited zoos and aquariums annually, these institutions have the unique opportunity to present conservation-oriented messages to a large and receptive audience. The purpose of this study was to explore the role of interpretation and/or the viewing of live animals in the communication of these messages....
A tidal and sea level survey was begun in Yaquina Bay, Oregon,
on 8 May, 1964. A continuous recording tide gage was installed at
the pier of the Oregon State University Marine Science Center.
An harmonic analysis of the observed data was made, and the
major tidal constants were compared...
These observations were sporadically made at my home in 1975-1977 and 1982. In spite of their casual nature, this article gives some information about the seasonal status of species at this site.

The Department of Oceanography at Oregon State College
initiated an oceanographic survey of the Oregon coast on July 1,
1958. The purpose of this report is to present salinity,
temperature, and oxygen data collected for the interval from
July 1958 to July 1959, and to present a preliminary interpretation
of...
Authentic assessment of visitor learning in museum settings is a challenging
endeavor. Evaluation literature includes very few studies that link adult visitors' behavior
to their learning. Multiple data collection methods in a naturalistic environment hold
great promise for increasing understanding of informal public education.
In 1997, Oregon State University's Hatfield...
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...
