Hypoxia Research Opportunities & News

     Notes from the April 16, 2008 Hypoxia planning meeting are now available for download HERE. Maps showing the spatial extent of hypoxia related research off the coast of Oregon and Washington are available HERE.

     Steve Rumrill (SSNERR) will conduct a pre-upwelling baseline characterization of the Oregon continental shelf from 20 through 27 April 2008. The R/V McArthur will travel from Astoria to Cape Blanco, and measure pre-upwelling / pre-hypoxia DO values over the continental shelf at depth contours of 150 m and 300 m. If you would like to join this cruise as a member of the science team please contact Steve at Steve.Rumrill [at] state.or.us.     Posted: 10 March 2008


     Results from two transects sampled on Steve Rumrill’s MacArthur II cruise are now available. Plots of temperature, salinity and oxygen for the Oregon continental shelf (OCS) along the 300m contour are available HERE. Plots of temperature, salinity and oxygen for the Coos Bay Line (CBL) are available HERE. For more information regarding these results please contact either Steve.Rumrill at Steve.Rumrill [at] state.or.us or Tim O’Higgins at tim.ohiggins [at] gmail.com.     Posted: 29 May 2007


     Pete Strutton will conduct 6 cruises (April 16, May 16, June 13, August 13 and October 8 and 9) on the R/V Elakha. These cruises will range between the Strawberry Hill line and Lincoln City, sometimes including the NH line. Stations will include CTD casts and bucket sampling for toxic phytoplankton, chlorophyll, and particulate organic carbon. Underway CO2, fluorescence, beam attenuation and CDOM data will also be collected. If you are interested in participating on one or more of these cruises please contact Pete at strutton [at] coas.oregonstate.edu.     Posted: 9 April 2007


     Steve Rumrill (SSNERR) will conduct a pre-upwelling baseline characterization of the Oregon continental shelf from 7 May through 10 May 2007. The R/V McArthur will travel from Astoria to Coos Bay along the 250 m isobath taking CTD casts and Niskin bottle samples every 8 - 15 deg. This cruise will also include a COOS Bay line (Coos Bay offshore to about 50 miles) of CTD casts and Niskin bottle samples. If you are interested in having a particular location sampled please contact Steve at Steve.Rumrill [at] state.or.us.     Posted: 21 March 2007
