	title = {Cementation and Groundwater Chemistry in Pleistocene Paleodune Deposits of the Central Oregon Coast},
	year = {2023},
	note = {Anyone who has driven along the Oregon coast has seen roadside deposits of light-colored rock close to the soil surface that looks like sand.  These are actually ancient sand dunes. Pleistocene paleodunes have some cementation, but often display slope instability. {\textquotedblleft}Weakening of cementing agents via changes to groundwater conditions due to altered vegetation, climate change, or contamination, for example, could promote slope instability, threatening lives and infrastructure. This study aims to investigate the variability in the type and degree of cementation and to determine how they are affected by changes in groundwater conditions{\textquotedblright} (from the Abstract). This interesting study addresses the Newport dune sheet, extending from Johnson Creek in the north to Yachats in the south. PSU Dissertations and Theses. Paper 6309.},

	year = {2022},
	note = {Cable bacteria come from the family Desulfobulbaceae, but have not yet been identified as to genus and species.  The name {\textquotedblleft}cable bacteria{\textquotedblright} comes from their tendency to form long networks of filaments. The length of the filaments allows cable bacteria to tap into energy harvested from sulfide oxidation.  This article gives a protocol for extracting cable bacteria from natural sediment, inoculate cultivated sediment in the laboratory, and evaluate the quantity of cable bacteria in the cultivated sediment.  Techniques for collection and extraction are described in detail.},

	title = {Records of trace metals in sediments from the Oregon shelf and slope: Investigating the occurrence of hypoxia over the past several thousand years},
	journal = {Chemical Geology },
	volume = {382},
	year = {2014},
	note = {In recent years, strong coastal winds have caused strong upwelling events, so strong that a layer of low-oxygen seawater has been brought closer to the surface, leading to mass die-offs of marine life, and affecting estuarine waters as well.  A current question about these hypoxic events has to do with whether or not they are related to climate change.  A look at the history of the region is therefore called for.  {\textquotedblleft}A record of past hypoxia occurrence frequency would help distinguish human-induced causes from those related to natural climate changes. . . .  Determining trends in trace metal abundances can serve as an indicator for changes in oxygenation conditions over time.{\textquotedblright} (p.33) The authors look at trace metals in sediments from the Yaquina, Alsea and Siuslaw Rivers and consider other factors possibly influencing their data. {\textquotedblleft}Supplementary data to this article can be found online at http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.chemgeo.2014.05.029 .{\textquotedblright} (p.42)},

	note = {This study was launched to learn how important microalgae were to the productivity of Yaquina Bay, and to determine {\textquotedblleft}sediment nutrient fluxes in the microalgal dominated sediments{\textquotedblright} (p.51).  Microalgae on sediment are an important food source for benthic dwellers, and contribute nutrients to the water column when they decompose. The study examined seasonal nutrient fluxes, compared Yaquina Bay to other estuaries, and characterized the relationship between silica and nitrate in the Bay.  The study suggests that {\textquotedblleft}benthic microalgae control the nutrient fluxes to the water column" (p.59).},
