This project is intended to study the effectiveness of manmade vernal pools for creating habitat value, particularly within an urban setting. Natural vernal pool habitats are under threat across the United States as filling and development activities have led to permanent loss of habitat. Mitigation requirements or other restoration/creation activities...
To investigate the dynamic response of the outer accretionary wedge updip from the patch of greatest slip during the Mw8.8 2010 Maule earthquake, 10 Ocean Bottom Seismometers (OBS) were deployed from May 2012 to March 2013 in a small array with an inter-instrument spacing of ~10 km. Nine instruments were...
Potential water scarcity and drought conditions are predicted in and around Eugene, Oregon due to decreased snowpack and subsequent decreased snowmelt in the Western Cascade Mountains. This phenomenon was triggered by a long-term trend of warmer winters scientifically linked to global climate change patterns (Dalton et al. 2013). Numerous stakeholders,...
Pyrodinium bahamense Plate 1906 is a tropical to subtropical dinoflagellate that can cause paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP). Based on differences in the morphology of the motile stage, as well as geographic distribution, this species was separated into two varieties, the toxic var. compressum and the non-toxic var. bahamense by Steidinger...

The purpose of this research was to do a comparative study of
the self-concept of Mexican-American/Chicano(a) students enrolled
in two- and four-year institutions of higher education in western
Oregon during the 1985-1986 academic year.
The secondary purposes of the research were:
1) To ascertain if there were any significant differences...
Mutation breeders in the 1960s seemed poised to use atomic energy to speed up mutation rates in plants in order to develop new crop varieties, for the benefit of all people. Although skepticism had slowed this work in the United States, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) nurtured the scientific...
The purpose of this study was to determine whether Alexander Astin's
Theory of Student Involvement could be applied to an academic experience in an
overseas setting. Using data collected from the program evaluations of 79 students
who had participated in the Oregon University System exchange program in Lyon,
France during...
Signals from the R/V Langseth’s tuned airgun array were recorded on an array of 33 EarthScope FlexArray seismometers deployed in the Oregon Coast Range from 43.5° to 45°N as part of the 2012 Ridge2Trench experiment to image the structure of the Juan de Fuca plate. This segment of the Juan...
