The workshop was funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), OCE Division of Ocean Sciences (Award # 1817257). This report summarizes the key findings, outcomes, and recommendations of the workshop and serves as a draft of the comprehensive roadmap.
Funding agencies increasingly require a data management plan (DMP) with funding proposals, which describe how data generated in the proposed work will be managed, preserved and shared. Data management plans are a rich source of information about an institution’s researchers and their research data management (RDM) knowledge, capabilities, and needs....
Numerous studies have explored how alluvial channel size and morphology are adjusted to different sediment and flow conditions, yet we still know very little about how and to what degree the flow regime controls channel form and processes. We use the term ‘channel form’ to refer to the size and...
The purpose of this report is to document the depth and breadth of research, education, and outreach activities in coastal and ocean sciences at Oregon State University. The scale and diversity of those activities are not well known outside of OSU, and in fact they are significantly underestimated, even by...

The nonlinear response of a ten-story steel structure with semirigid
girder connections is studied under conditions of dynamic loading.
The dynamic loading used in this study is the North-South component
of the May 18, 1940 El Centro, California earthquake. To deal
with the complexity of the problem the structure is...
To assess the context dependence of kin discriminating
behavior, I examined kin-biased aggregation behavior in tadpoles
of R. cascadae in different ecological conditions. I manipulated food
distribution, predator presence, thermal heterogeneity, and
relatedness in a multifactorial mesocosm experiment. All four
factors interacted to influence tadpole dispersion. My results
suggest that...
This study uses semi-structured interviews and an online survey to explore the structure, challenges and outcomes of a five-year National Science Foundation-funded water scarcity modelling project in the Willamette River Basin of Oregon, USA. The research team chose to facilitate broader impacts by engaging stakeholders from the study’s inception (e.g....
Sexually size-dimorphic species must show some difference between the sexes in growth rate and/or length of growing period. Such differences in growth parameters can cause the sexes to be impacted by environmental variability in different ways, and understanding these differences allows a better understanding of patterns in productivity between individuals...
In steep headwater basins of the Oregon Coast Range (OCR), debris flows episodically deliver material from low-order tributary basins to larger catchments. Much of this material is stored in valleys and gradually removed by fluvial processes. Quantifying the transfer of material from hillslopes to mainstem channels is essential in understanding...
