The overall purpose of this study was to develop sensory evaluation methodology whereby wine quality can be predicted from juice quality. Descriptive analysis was used by a trained panel to describe Pinot noir juice and wine from three sources. From each source, one wine and four juice samples (a control...
The Southern Ocean plays an important role in the ocean’s uptake of heat and carbon yet the processes controlling this uptake are not well understood. To date, more than 100 biogeochemical profiling floats that measure water column pH, oxygen, nitrate, fluorescence, and backscattering at 10-day intervals have been deployed throughout...
Environmental contributions to cancer development are widely accepted, but only a fraction of all pertinent exposures
have probably been identified. Traditional toxicological approaches to the problem have largely focused on the effects of
individual agents at singular endpoints. As such, they have incompletely addressed both the pro-carcinogenic contributions
of environmentally...

In marine ecosystems, rising atmospheric CO2 and climate change are associated with concurrent shifts in temperature, circulation, stratification, nutrient input, oxygen content, and ocean acidification, with potentially wideranging biological effects. Population-level shifts are occurring because of physiological intolerance to new environments, altered dispersal patterns, and changes in species interactions. Together...
Sudden Oak Death is the common name for a disease caused by Phytophthora ramorum, a previously unknown and recently introduced non-native pathogen.
• Phytophthora ramorum has killed hundreds of thousands of oak and tanoak trees in 14 coastal counties in California and hundreds of tanoak trees in Curry County, Oregon....
The Columbia Basin once supported a diversity of native fishes and large runs of anadromous salmonids that sustained substantial fisheries and cultural values. Extensive land conversion, watershed disruptions, and subsequent fishery declines have led to one of the most ambitious restoration programs in the world. Progress has been made, but...
El ano 2006 representa en dos sentidos una fecha critica para la cuenca del Rio Columbia y para los esfuerzos de recuperacion del salmon y la trucha arcoiris en la region Pacifico Noroeste: el 25 aniversario de la creacion del Consejo para la Conservacion y Poder del Noroeste y el...
This report summarizes the recent state of the California Current System (CCS), primarily during the period of April 2004 to January 2005. The report is based on observations made between Oregon and Baja California by various ocean observing programs. The CCS was not forced by any coherent basin-wide processes during...
Climate warming is projected to affect forest water yields but the effects are expected to vary. We investigated how forest
type and age affect water yield resilience to climate warming. To answer this question, we examined the variability in historical
water yields at long-term experimental catchments across Canada and the...
