Seasonal data on tides, water quality and sediments in the
Siuslaw Estuary were collected. Tide and velocity data were analyzed
to evaluate damping conditions in the estuary. The system was found
to approximate a weakly damped standing wave. A strong relationship
of damping conditions to river flow was observed. The...
This document includes the mapping of all the major Oregon Estuaries. In addition to the maps there are aerial photographs of each area and information concerning the estuaries.
The overriding goal of this study was to provide first order estimates of dilution and tidal flushing of waste discharges released hypothetically into various Oregon estuaries during critical low flows and tides. Causal relationships between discharged wastes and subsequent estuarine response were studied. Various approaches to determine the assimilative capacity...

The Siletz Estuary was studied in 1973 to determine seasonal
variations in tidal dynamics, water quality, and sediments.
Tidal ranges and times were measured and compared to predicted
values at two positions within the bay. Tidal ranges and times
were analyzed to determine the dampening and phasing conditions
within the...
The present bibliography is the third compilation by the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) of theses and dissertations containing information on the geology of the state. It follows and incorporates the Bibliography of Theses on Oregon Geology by H.G. Schlicker (DOGAMI Miscellaneous Paper 7, 1959) and the...
