Evaluating Oregon's beach sites and assessing twenty-six coastal beach areas for recreational water quality standards

Creator:: Benedict, Rae T.
Abstract:: With congressional passage of the BEACH Act in October of 2000, Coastal and Great Lakes states were mandated to assess coastal recreation waters for the application of ambient water quality standards. This research encompasses two components involved in applying the BEACH Act statues to Oregon. The first component was to...

Bridge over troubled water : partnerships and the prospect of adaptive capacity among small Oregon coast water systems

Creator:: Dennis, Lauren Marie
Abstract:: The Oregon Coast's small water systems, like the vast number of small water systems across the U.S., are greatly vulnerable. Failing infrastructure, limited financial capital, and inadequate staff combined with future changes in climate, population size, and regulatory stringency spell out a potentially dire future for the region's water supply...

The role of oxygen and other environmental variables on survivorship, abundance, and community structure of invertebrate meroplankton of Oregon nearshore coastal waters

Creator:: Eerkes-Medrano, Dafne I.
Abstract:: The high productivity of Eastern Boundary Upwelling Ecosystems (EBUE), some of the most productive ecosystems in the globe, is attributed to the nutrient rich waters brought up through upwelling. Climate change scenarios for coastal upwelling systems, predict an intensification of coastal upwelling winds. Associated with intensification in upwelling are biogeochemical...

Oregon coastal lake study : phosphorus loading and water quality implications

Creator:: Blair, Michael Stuart
Abstract:: A study of phosphorus loading and water quality implications was conducted for the Oregon coastal lakes. The study was based on existing data for lake total phosphorus concentrations and for watershed land uses. A phosphorus mass-balance model was developed to predict lake total phosphorus concentrations from estimated phosphorus loading from...

Influence of upwelling-season coastal currents on near-bottom dissolved oxygen concentrations over a submarine bank

Creator:: Adams, Katherine A.
Abstract:: Wind-driven coastal upwelling brings subsurface water onto the central-Oregon shelf after the spring transition each year. This cold and salty source water is oxygen-poor, yet above the hypoxic threshold, dissolved oxygen < 1.4 ml l⁻¹. Once on the shelf, dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations of upwelled near-bottom waters are modified by...

Foraging behavior of the Pacific harbor seal (Phoca vitulina richardii) in the Pacific Northwest and potential impacts of coastal hypoxia on foraging efficiency

Creator:: Steingass, Sheanna M.
Abstract:: In the last decade, the California Current Large Marine Ecosystem has experienced a trend of increased severity of upwelling-driven coastal hypoxia. This thesis strove to examine the potential upper trophic level impacts of moderate and severe hypoxia in the CCLME. Initially I conducted a literature review of Pacific harbor seal...

Hydrographic data from Oregon waters 1962 through 1964

Creator:: Wyatt, Bruce and Gilbert, William E.
Abstract:: This is the fifth report of data collected during a study designed to determine the currents and water masses along the Oregon coast. The first four reports cover the period from July 1958 to December 1961 (Wyatt and Callaway, 1961; Wyatt and Kujala, 1961; Wyatt and Kujala, 1962; Wyatt and...

Mapping and lithologic interpretation of the Territorial Sea, Oregon

Creator:: Agapito, Melinda T.
Abstract:: Seafloor lithologic maps have been widely used to identify conservation sites. In this study, a lithologic interpretation of Oregon's territorial seafloor was created as an interim product in response to the need for a comprehensive lithologic map that will be used in the identification, evaluation and design of marine reserves...

Microbial diversity, metabolic potential, and transcriptional activity along the inner continental shelf of the Northeast Pacific Ocean

Creator:: Bertagnolli, Anthony D.
Abstract:: Continental shelves located along eastern boundary currents occupy relatively small volumes of the world’s oceans, yet are responsible for a large proportion of global primary production. The Oregon coast is among these ecosystems. Recent analyses of dissolved oxygen at shallow depths in the water column has suggested increasing episodes of...

Dynamics of organic matter production and degradation during coastal diatom blooms

Creator:: Wetz, Michael S.
Abstract:: Experiments were designed to answer key questions about diatom-derived organic matter cycling (i.e., production and degradation) in coastal systems. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) production was examined in axenic batch cultures of five diatom species. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) release rates varied between species, but were significantly higher for all species...
