To determine the invasion threat to the NE Pacific of marine algae arriving on Japanese debris from the 2011 Great Tōhoku Earthquake and Tsunami, my colleagues and I took up the task of identifying the algal species on 42 of the most heavily fouled debris items that landed on the...

This project was carried out collaboratively by Oregon State University (OSU) and the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) and involved baseline observations and
modeling at the proposed wave energy conversion (WEC) array site near Reedsport, OR. In particular, observations and predictions of the wave conditions at the...

environmental potential for the state. OWET’s goal is
to have ocean wave energy producing 2 megawatts of power
This project was carried out collaboratively by Oregon State University (OSU) and the
Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) and involved
continuation of the beach monitoring program begun in summer 2009 to determine
baseline conditions and beach variability at the site of the planned Reedsport wave energy
conversion...
The Great Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami of March 2011 generated nearly 1.5 million tons of floating debris. After 1-5 years of drifting with the currents across the Pacific, many debris items reached the NE Pacific coast carrying Japanese marine species that could colonize our shores. More than 84 marine algal...
This study was commissioned by OWET to determine the possible economic benefits to Oregon and Oregon’s coastal communities from having a thriving wave energy industry. While wave energy industry growth will proceed along a continuous path, this study examines the economic impacts at three distinct stages: Research and Development Stage;...
