Coastal sand dunes and beaches offer a variety of ecosystem services such as coastal protection, sand stabilization, species conservation, and recreation. However, the management and balance of ecosystem services offered by dunes and beaches is challenging when ecosystem services interact across the landscape. Management focusing only on one ecosystem service...
Coastal flood hazard zones and the design of coastal defenses are often devised using either the maximum recorded total water level (TWL) or a 'design' event such as the 100-year return-level flood, usually projected from observed extreme events. Despite technological advances driving more consistent instrumental records of wave heights and...
This report presents observations from two programs in 1975, WISP and UP-75 to study circulation off Oregon. WISP was a study of the transition between the winter and spring regimes, and UP-75 was designed to determine whether there is a poleward undercurrent along the continental slope during the upwellinq season....
Salinity, temperature, oxygen phosphate, nitrate and silicate
observatIons were taken by Oregon State University on 21 hydrographic
cruises in the Northeastern Pacific Ocean during 1968. Alklinity , pH
and total CO2 were taken on special occasions. Fifteen cruises were
taken along the Newport line. The rest were special cruises made...
Salinity, temperature, oxygen, phosphate, nitrate and silicate
observations were taken by Oregon State University on 17 hydrographic
cruises in the Northeastern Pacific Ocean during 1966. Alkalinity, pH
and total CO2 were taken on special occasions. Nine cruises were
taken along the Newport line. The rest were special cruises made
off...
This is the fourth data report of a study designed to determine
the current patterns and water mass characteristics along the
Oregon coast.
All data in this report were collected at stations occupied by
Research Vessel ACONA (Burt and Pattullo, 1961). The
This is the third data report of a study designed to determine the
current patterns and water mass characteristics along the Oregon coast.
The first report covered the period July 1958 to July 1959 (Wyatt and
Callaway, 1961). During that year observations were taken to a maximum
depth of 30...
The study of the vegetation of one of the natural coastal
prairies in Oregon was undertaken for the purpose of describing
some of its synecological features. Specific objectives of the study
were to describe certain plant assemblages in the study area, present
phenological relationships on some of the assemblages, and...
Although plant remains, such as opal phytolith and charcoal analyses, have been used since the beginning of the 20th century to reconstruct past environments by ecologists and botanists, only recently have these techniques been considered by archaeologists in understanding the past at the site level. This study employs opal phytolith...
