  • West Coast Habs Session Approaches to the Detection of Domoic Acid in Marine Food Webs
    ABSTRACTS OF ORAL PRESENTATIONS WEST COAST HABS SESSION APPROACHES TO THE DETECTION OF DOMOIC ACID IN MARINE FOOD WEBS Gregory J. Doucette Marine Biotoxins Program, Center for Coastal Environmental Health & Biomolecular Research, National Ocean Service, 219 Fort Johnson Rd., Charleston, SC 29412 Just over a decade ago in eastern Canada, the neurotoxin domoic acid was identified as the causative agent of a human intoxication syndrome known as amnesic shellfish poisoning. Since that event in 1987, domoic acid and the diatoms that produce it (i.e., Pseudo-nitzschia spp.) have been reported from many U.S. coastal regions, and are now recognized as a public health concern through their contamination of seafood resources. However, it has become increasingly clear that toxic Pseudo-nitzschia species also pose a wider threat to coastal ecosystems based on their association with unusual mortality events involving marine birds and mammals. In order to describe the process by which domoic acid is moved through marine food webs, it is imperative that robust, reliable methods of toxin detection be established. We have adopted a tiered approach to domoic acid detection in diverse sample types (e.g., plankton, seawater, invertebrates, fish, mammals) involving a high throughput receptor binding assay and tandem mass spectrometry, which provides information on toxic activity as well as the unambiguous confirmation of toxin presence. Moreover, innovative techniques for sample collection and extraction of domoic acid from specific matrices have been established that yield high quality samples and optimize our toxin detection capabilities. Finally, methods for the automated, in-situ collection of plankton samples for toxin analysis are under development, with the ultimate aim being remote detection of domoic acid.

Horowitz Ken Ruoff Friedrich Schuler Michael Weingrad Portland State University 2010 ABSTRACT Rabbi Stephen S. Wise presents an excellent subject for the study of Jewish social progressivism in Portland in the early years of the twentieth-century. While Wise demonstrated a commitment to social justice before, during, and after his Portland years, it is during his ministry at congregation Beth Israel that he developed a full-fledged social program that was unique and remarkable by reaching out not only within his congregation but more importantly, by engaging the Christian community of Portland in interfaith activities.

Its inspiration came from Carlos Schwantes historical survey, The Pacific Northwest: An Interpretive History which provides a glimpse of national events in American history through a regional approach. David Peterson Del Mar’s Oregon Promise: An Interpretive History has a similar approach as Schwantes, it is a reflective social and cultural history of the state’s diversity. The text offers a broad perspective of various ethnicities, political figures, and marginalized identities.

  • Local and Large-Scale Climate Forcing of Puget Sound Oceanographic Properties on Seasonal to Interdecadal Timescales
    Limnol. Oceanogr.• 53(5). 2008. 1746-1758 © 2008) by the American Society of Limnology and Oceanography, Inc. Local and large-scale climate forcing of Puget Sound oceanographic properties on seasonal to interdecadal timescales Stephanie K. Moore1 School of Oceanography, University of Washington, Box 355351, Seattle, Washington 98195-5351 Nathan J. Mantua Climate Impacts Group and School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences, University of Washington, Box 354235, Seattle, Washington 98195-4235 Jonathan P. Kellogg School of Oceanography, University of Washington, Box 355351, Seattle, Washington 98195-5351 Jan A. Newton Applied Physics Laboratory, University of Washington, Box 355640, Seattle, Washington 98105-6698 Abstract The influence of climate on Puget Sound oceanographic properties is investigated on seasonal to interannual timescales using continuous profile data at 16 stations from 1993to 2002 and records of sea surface temperature (SST) and sea surface salinity (SSS) from 1951 to 2002. Principal components analyses of profile data identify indices representing 42%, 58%, and 56% of the total variability at depth-station combinations for temperature, salinity, and density, respectively, and 22% for water column stratification. Variability in the leading pattern of Puget Sound water temperature and salinity profiles is well correlated with local surface air temperatures and freshwater inflows to Puget Sound from major river basins, respectively. SST and SSS anomalies are informative proxies for the leading patterns of variations in Puget Sound temperature and salinity profiles. Using this longer time history of observations, we find that SST and SSS anomalies also have significant correlations with Aleutian Low, El Nino-Southern Oscillation, and Pacific Decadal Oscillation variations in winter that can persist for up to three seasons or reemerge the followingyear.
