Characterizations of tsunami hazards
along the Cascadia subduction zone hinge
on uncertainties in megathrust rupture
models used for simulating tsunami inundation.
To explore these uncertainties, we
constructed 15 megathrust earthquake scenarios
using rupture models that supply the
initial conditions for tsunami simulations
at Bandon, Oregon. Tsunami inundation
varies with the...
The Actively Heated Fiber Optic (AHFO) method is shown to be capable of measuring soil water
content several times per hour at 0.25 m spacing along cables of multiple kilometers in length. AHFO is
based on distributed temperature sensing (DTS) observation of the heating and cooling of a buried fiber-optic...

The Actively Heated Fiber Optic (AHFO) method is shown to be capable of measuring soil water content several times per hour at 0.25 m spacing along cables of multiple kilometers in length. AHFO is based on distributed temperature sensing (DTS) observation of the heating and cooling of a buried fiber-optic...
Accurate methods are needed to measure changing soil water content from meter to kilometer scales. Laboratory results demonstrate the feasibility of the heat pulse method implemented with fiber optic temperature sensing to obtain accurate distributed measurements of soil water content. A fiber optic cable with an electrically conductive armoring was...
Self-objectification occurs through the internalization of unrealistic social standards of attractiveness which leads to excessive valuing of one’s physical features over functionality. Previous studies have associated self-objectification with a host of negative consequences including two opposing exercise-related outcomes, public exercise avoidance and exercise dependence. The main purpose of the present...
Oregon State University researchers are expanding their study of mineral nutrition in winegrapes as part of a project sponsored by the Wine Advisory Board. Further research is justified because of increasing grower interest in nutritional factors that affect production and quality. Winegrape growers utilize Oregon State University's Plant Analysis Laboratory...
Gamma ray bursts are some of the brightest events in the entire observable universe. Since the late 1960’s, thousands of gamma ray bursts have been observed and they have been researched extensively. However, there are still many mysteries which remain unsolved. One such mystery is whether or not the viewing...
