Tsunami propagation in large rivers : idealized cases and the Columbia River Estuary

Creator:: Kalmbacher, Kirk D.
Abstract:: The hazards associated with tsunamis are well known and have been studied for decades. The majority of research is, however, focused on open coastlines which bear the brunt of a tsunamis force. Other regions that can be strongly impacted by a tsunami are large estuaries. Here, the tsunami encounters a...

An analysis of guild structure of avian communities, Columbia River, Oregon

Creator:: Noyes, Cecilia Lea Barham
Abstract:: Effects of habitat and season on guild structure of avian communities were examined for islands in the estuary zone of the Columbia River, Oregon. Bird species were classified into guilds according to their major food item, typical foraging substrate, and foraging behavior. Variation in community structure indices (number of guilds,...

The life history of Corophium salmonis in the Columbia River estuary

Creator:: Wilson, Stephanie Lynn
Abstract:: The benthic amphipod Corophium salmonis was sampled seasonally from two sites (Desdemona Sands and Grays Bay) in the Columbia River estuary. Populations of C. salmonis at both sites were found to have a two generation per year life cycle, a spring generation and a fall generation. The spring generation juveniles...

Ecological and radioecological studies in the Columbia River Estuary and adjacent Pacific Ocean

Creator:: Holton, Robert L., Pearcy, William G., Cutshall, Norman H., and McMechan, Karla J.
Abstract:: This report represents the progress in "Ecological and Radioecological Studies in the Columbia River Estuary and Adjacent Pacific Ocean" for the period 1 April 1975 through 31 March 1976. This research has been supported with funds from the Division of Biomedical and Environmental Research, U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration...

Seasonal and tidal influence of the estuarine turbidity maximum on primary biomass and production in the Columbia River estuary

Creator:: Morgan, Stacey Rose
Abstract:: The Columbia River Estuary was sampled during high (May-June), intermediate (July), and low (September-October) river flow seasons to further define the role of the ETM with respect to its effect on primary biomass and production, and to discover how this effect changes in space and time. Strong ETMs were determined...

Wave propagation processes at the mouth of the Columbia River

Creator:: Andes, Lisa (Lisa Christine)
Abstract:: The mouth of the Columbia River (MCR) has a longstanding reputation of hazardous navigational conditions. This reputation has been developing since the first ship, the Columbia, traversed through the inlet in 1792. The hazardous conditions are related to the large waves and strong tidal currents that are common in the...

Life histories of juvenile chinook salmon in the Columbia River estuary : 1916 to the present

Creator:: Burke, Jennifer L.
Abstract:: Pacific Coast estuaries provide important rearing habitats leading to improved growth and survival for juvenile chinook salmon. However, research has suggested that juvenile salmon have little use for estuarine habitats in the Columbia River. To further understand salmonid recovery needs in estuaries, I compared historical and contemporary life history patterns...
