  • Recent tropical storm climatology in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean and some applications

    Creator:
    Short, Kent S.
    Abstract:
    Reliable data for tropical storm occurrences in the northern portion of the eastern Tropical Pacific did not become available until 1966. Considering the years 1966-75, sizeable interannual variations in storm frequency are evident. Six climatological factors are investigated in an attempt to explain this interannual variation. These are: (1) the...

  • Early Oligocene intrusions in the central Coast Range of Oregon : petrography, geochemistry, geochronology and implications for the Tertiary magmatic evolution of the Cascadia forearc

    Creator:
    Oxford, Jeremiah
    Abstract:
    The Early Oligocene Oregon Coast Range Intrusions (OCRI) consist of gabbroic rocks and lesser alkalic intrusive bodies that were emplaced in marine sedimentary units and volcanic sequences within a Tertiary Cascadia forearc basin. The alkalic intrusions include nepheline syenite, camptonite, and alkaline basalt. The gabbros occur as dikes and differentiated...

  • Analysis of semi-volatile trace metals in basaltic glass by LA-ICP-MS

    Creator:
    Loewen, Matthew W.
    Abstract:
    Semi-volatile trace metals (e.g., Cd, Sn, Pb, Zn, Cu, Mo) have been analyzed by using laser ablation ICP-MS in a number of silicate glasses (GSE-1G, GSD-1G, NIST 610, NIST 612, BCR-2G, BHVO-2G). Our work investigates and highlights sources of uncertainty in the analysis of semi-volatile metals using LA-ICP-MS. We identify...

  • Impacts of multispecies parasitism on coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) in Oregon

    Creator:
    Ferguson, Jayde A.
    Abstract:
    Diseases caused by parasites are recognized as significant sources of mortality in wild fish populations. I assessed the impacts of multispecies parasitism on a threatened stock of juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch). A crucial prerequisite to this research was proper identification of parasites, which can be difficult for species lacking...

  • Exploring Volcano-Tectonic Connections in Cascadia – Temporal Linkages between Tephra Deposition and Megathrust Earthquakes

    Creator:
    Gutierrez, Joel C.
    Abstract:
    Explosively erupting volcanoes and megathrust earthquakes (Mw 8+ magnitude) occur at subduction zones and adjacent volcanic arcs. Volcanic eruptions are observed occurring close in time to megathrust earthquakes in the historical record from at least the 18th century CE to present in locations globally, including Japan in 1707 CE (Chesley...

  • Development and disease of opakapaka (Pristiopomoides filamentosus) larvae in culture

    Creator:
    Keafer, Briana
    Abstract:
    Opakapaka (Pristipomoides filamentosus) is a snapper (family Lutjanidae) native to the waters around Hawaii. Recent population declines of this commercially important species have increased interest in the culture of this fish. Survival of this fish through the larval period in culture has been consistently low, usually not exceeding 2%. The...

  • The Short Story in American Literature

    Creator:
    Thayer, Ruth
    Abstract:
    Only within the last few years have literary critics come to recognize in the short story a definite type, one having its own individual characteristics and limitations. It differs from the novel in a brevity not merely accidental which prohibits the too extensive development of the three elements of the...

    Abstract:
    Interaction between the golden-mantled ground squirrel and park visitors at a highly visited portion of the Rim Village area of Crater Lake National Park was studied. Observations were made of the total number of visitors entering the area, age, sex, and group composition of visitors who fed the squirrels, type...

  • Autonomous Decision Making Facing Uncertainty, Risk, and Complexity

    Creator:
    Short, Ada-Rhodes
    Abstract:
    The creation of autonomous decision makers to handle potentially hazardous or logistically complicated tasks is desirable for the purpose of reducing human labor and exposure to risk, and for increasing the general performance of autonomous systems in a wide variety of environments. However, traditional autonomous decision makers perform poorly when...
