	title = {Situation Analysis for Oregon{\textquoteright}s Emergent Seaweed Aquaculture Industry},
	year = {2023},
	note = {At present, seaweed aquaculture is an underdeveloped industry in Oregon. Pacific dulse is the only species cultivated today in the state. The industry has, however, great potential, and can provide significant ecological services by cleaning seawater and providing habitat for marine animals. There is potential for mitigating climate change by buffering acidic ocean water and sequestering carbon. It would be worthwhile to investigate possible products such as biofuels, fertilizer and animal feed. Possible negative impacts such as overharvesting of wild stock, lack of genetic diversity, and competition for nutrients should be explored, and a stronger regulatory environment is needed. This is a most interesting introduction to what could be a beneficial and profitable industry.},

We identify three types of communities along the US Pacific Northwest coast that are directly threatened by tsunamis associated with a Cascadia subduction zone earthquake: (i) demographically diverse with low numbers of exposed people, (ii) high numbers of exposed populations but sufficient time to evacuate, and (iii) moderate numbers of exposed populations but insufficient time to evacuate.{\textquotedblleft} (p.5354) The authors identified Seaside as the most vulnerable community on the Oregon Coast.

	note = {This is a final essay by a candidate for a Master{\textquoteright}s degree in Public Policy. The author examined Pacific Northwest coastal communities in order to determine which were economically dependent on the fishing industry and might, therefore, be vulnerable to changes in fishing policies and regulations.  {\textquotedblleft}Place-based data from the U.S. decennial census, American Community Survey, NOAA Fisheries, state fish and wildlife agencies, and a myriad of additional sources are included in a factor analysis to identify communities engaged in and reliant on commercial fishing, and to derive indicators of social vulnerability. Using these indicators, 18 communities along the west coast were identified as having high levels of both commercial fishing dependence and social vulnerability, although the drivers varied among communities.{\textquotedblright} (from the abstract) Major professor was Denise Lach.},

	year = {2014},
	note = {All who live on the West Coast of the United States should be aware of the possibility of a major  earthquake occurring.  But what if only a part of the subduction zone ruptures?  This article examines a possible rupture in the southern half of the Cascadia Subduction Zone (south of Alsea Bay, Oregon).  The authors ask important questions. How quickly does tsunami wave height decline north of the southern rupture areas?  How much time do communities north of the southern rupture areas have to evacuate before the first inundation and the largest inundation occur? How far north of the southern rupture areas will felt shaking likely trigger evacuation of a populace trained to evacuate for a local earthquake? (p.851) The authors address these questions using a 10,000-year record of offshore turbedite deposits and  a ~4,600-year record of tsunami deposits at Bradley Lake.},
