"The study of ice has shown us with extreme clarity what humans are doing to the Earth," Ed Brook (Oregon State University), the director of COLDEX, said.
“When I first started studying this issue 35 years ago, it seemed very theoretical at the time,” said Phil Mote, a scientist at Oregon State University who researches snow accumulation and its connection to climate change. “Now it’s not.”
“A lot of this reddening and browning of leaves was just that the leaves cooked. It really wasn’t a drought story,” said Chris Still, professor at Oregon State University’s College of Forestry and a leading researcher on the effects of heat on trees.
On the night of Nov. 18, the national spotlight shined on Corvallis, Oregon. Oregon State proudly showcased its 11th-ranked team and its $162 million renovated stadium, packed with fans clad in black and orange and undeterred, as Pacific Northwesterners are, by the steady rain that fell. The Beavers pushed then-No. 5 Washington to the brink, shutting out the Huskies' powerful offense in the second half, before falling 22-20.
Francis Chan, an associate professor at Oregon State University, said scientists are always looking at how the temperature changes in the ocean can impact the risk of biotoxins. He said the delay to the season is mainly to keep consumers safe.
The presidents of Oregon State University and Washington State University have released a statement after the agreement in principle recently announced by all Pac-12 Conference universities. (see also ESPN)
“Everyone had heard of aardvarks and they are considered very ecologically important but there has been little study of them,” study co-author and Oregon State University wildlife biologist Clint Epps said in a statement. “We wanted to see if we could collect enough data to begin to understand them.” (see also Newsweek)
That ice shelf was once pinned upon an underwater mountain, which helped stabilize it (SN: 12/13/21). But now the shelf is so deteriorated that it’s basically unhitched, Erin Pettit, a glaciologist at Oregon State University in Corvallis, said at the news event. Fortunately, though, the glacier “is not going to suddenly flow off land,” thanks partly to what’s been discovered upstream, said Pettit, who was not involved in the discovery.
Speaking of mensches, Oregon State professor Adam Schwartz is a nice Jewish boy from the Tarzana side of the San Fernando Valley who published his own L.A. memoir, “Spanish So White: Conversations on the Inconvenient Racism of a ‘Foreign’ Language Education.” It’s technically a textbook designed for gringo teachers and Spanish learners that challenges their ideas of whiteness and Spanish in this country.
Oregon State University and the City of Ashland are determined to learn the lesson, and not repeat it. OSU recently landed $750,000 in grants to fund new approaches to understanding fire, and building community resilience to it. Plans call for a global center--involving OSU and other schools--to take multi-disciplinary approaches to fire issues, a graduate degree program combining the disciplines of forestry and engineering, and the placement of a doctoral student in Ashland, where the Almeda Drive fire started.
“The Forest Service is absolutely correct,” said James Johnston, an assistant professor at Oregon State University’s College of Forestry. “There's too many small young trees on national forests, and removing the small young trees can help release light, water and nutrients for old trees that need them. Removing small young trees can help create more diverse habitat for a variety of species.”

Since then, hazelnut farmers have teamed up with Oregon State University to combat the spread by removing older trees and interplanting new blight-resistant varieties developed by local researchers.
Imagine a tropical reef in which the constant clatter of snapping shrimp overwhelms the soundscape. Artisanal fishing boats putter overhead as dolphins whistle and splash. In another scene described by Kate Stafford, an oceanographer at Oregon State University, the setting is Arctic winter, and the creaking and groaning sounds of ice are interrupted by vocal marine mammals—the moan of a bowhead whale or the knocking and ringing of a male walrus ready to mate.
