This research is concerned with the current debate among Oregonians on how to improve the standard of living and accelerate economic development in Oregon. The main question is what economic activities make Oregon, and regions within Oregon grow? To find out where Oregon's economic strength and weaknesses lie, first we...
Salinity, temperature, oxygen, phosphate, and nitrate observations were taken by Oregon State University of 15 hydrographic cruises in the Northeastern Pacific and one cruise in the Sea of Cortez during 1970. Alkalinity, pH and silicate were taken on special occasions.
Data were collected by Oregon State University personnel aboard the...
Salinity, temperature, oxygen, phosphate, and nitrate observations were taken by Oregon State University on 16 hydrographic cruises in the Northeastern Pacific Ocean during 1969. Alkalinity , pH and silicate were taken on special occasions. Nine cruises were taken along the Newport line. The rest were special cruises made off Depoe...
A cooperative study sponsored by a grant from the Water Resources Research Institute Project No. A-001-ORE, Hydrology of Water Yield Prediction, and funding from the School of Forestry, both of Oregon State University.
Sphaerellopsis filum is a mycoparasite of Puccinia graminis subsp. graminicola, a rust fungus that causes widespread crop damage on perennial ryegrass grown for seed. In observations taken over the winter months, S. filum was found naturally colonizing 2% of P. graminis subsp. graminicola uredinia on first-year plantings and 25% of...
Debris flows have typically been viewed as two-phase mixtures of sediment and water, but in forested mountain landscapes, wood can represent a sizable fraction of total flow volume. The effects of this third phase on flow behavior are poorly understood. To evaluate whether wood can have a significant effect on...
