The influence of insect pests and pathogens on Sierra forests

Creator:: Ferrell, George T.
Abstract:: Currently, Sierra Nevada forests have high levels of mortality caused by bark beetles infesting trees stressed by drought, fire, overly dense stands, and pathogens. Fuel loads and fire hazard are high. Past logging and fire exclusion practices are partially responsible for this situation. Mitigative restoration requires thinning overly dense stands,...

Environmental Effects of Tidal Energy Development

Creator:: Polagye, Brian, Van Cleve, Brie, Copping, Andrea, and Kirkendall, Keith
Abstract:: This report summarizes the outcomes of a March 22-25, 2010, workshop in Seattle, Washington, on the environmental effects of tidal energy development. The workshop focused on building capabilities to evaluate the environmental effects of tidal energy from turbines placed in the water column throughout the United States. However, it did...

Acoustic Characterization of a Hydrokinetic Turbine

Creator:: Polagye, Brian
Abstract:: Abstract— This study describes the sound produced by a hydrokinetic turbine operating in a riverine environment near Iguigig, AK (USA). Drifting spar buoys equipped with hydrophones and GPS loggers were used to characterize temporal and spatial variability in turbine sound over a range of turbine operating conditions. Because of the...

Tertiary geologic framework, neotectonics, and petroleum potential of the Oregon-Washington Continental Margin

Creator:: Snavely, P. D., Jr. and Geological Survey (U.S.)
Abstract:: The Tertiary geologic evolution of the Oregon and Washington continental margin was molded by episodic periods of convergence between the Pacific oceanic plates and the North American plate. This margin is the site of a deep basin that is floored by Paleocene to lower Eocene oceanic crust and contains more...

Advanced Laboratory and Field Arrays (ALFA) for Marine Energy Checkpoint 4.1.1

Creator:: United States. Department of Energy
Abstract:: Soil‐structure interaction has been an area of active research since the 19th century and has evolved significantly over the past 150 years (Kausel, 2010). Previous soil‐structure interaction studies have been based on numerical simulations (e.g., Costantino et al. 1976; Jensen et al. 1999; Jensen, Edil et al. 2001; Jensen, Plesha...

Hydrogen for Heat: Utilizing Hydrogen for Long-Term Energy Storage in Northern Climates

Creator:: Villaverde, Gertrude
Abstract:: A long-term energy storage technology is necessary to utilize Oregon’s curtailed renewable energy, an issue the state faces, even with a low percentage of renewable energy in the energy mix. This report proposes a system design that details how hydrogen power-to-gas technology can be used in conjunction with the existing...

Oregon strategy for greenhouse gas reductions

Creator:: Governor's Advisory Group on Global Warming and Institute for Natural Resources
Abstract:: The Governor’s Advisory Group on Global Warming developed this Oregon Strategy for Greenhouse Gas Reduction.1 Governor Ted Kulongoski appointed the Advisory Group early in 2004 to perform this task. This Strategy, if implemented, will complement the agenda of the West Coast Governors’ Global Warming Initiative undertaken by the governors of...

Advanced Laboratory and Field Arrays (ALFA) for Marine Energy Checkpoint 4.1.2

Creator:: United States. Department of Energy
Abstract:: This document presents the results from discrete element method (DEM) simulations of interface shear compared to previously published data from similar physical experiments. Rough shafts emplaced in granular assemblies are subjected to monotonic and cyclic loading and the results evaluated. The granular‐continuum interface behavior for different anchor surface roughnesses is...
