Upwelling Study Off Oregon Coast Attracts Oceanographers
Oregon State University oceanographers lead a summer program tracing coastal upwelling from Seal Rock to Cascade Head and up to 50 miles offshore. Co directors James O'Brien and Robert Smith oversee field work with OSU partners, UW vessel support, and NCAR aircraft. The project, part of the Decade of Ocean Exploration, aims to predict upwelling and its impact on nutrient rich marine life with NSF funding exceeding $1 million.
