ATNI recognized CMOP's continued commitment to address the interests of Native Americans in its program activities across K-12 education, higher education, scientific research, natural resource management and community economic development.

Sophisticated forecast modeling tools developed at the Center for Coastal Margin Observation & Prediction (CMOP) were recently used to assist in the rescue of a disabled underwater glider.

The Center for Coastal Margin Observation and Prediction (CMOP) at Oregon Health & Science University announced today that it has appointed Sarah Riseman to the position of marine biochemistry technician.

An ingenious high school student and former Center for Coastal Margin Observation & Prediction (CMOP) summer intern has come up with a new low-profile nitrate sensor that can do just that.

Karen Wegner, CMOP Director of K-12 Education, was recently recognized as a valued partner in education by the Northwest Regional Education Service District (NWRESD).
 

Tom Sanford, Ph.D., an investigator with the Center for Coastal Margin Observation & Prediction (CMOP) and oceanographer at the Applied Physics Laboratory of the University of Washington (APL-UW), has been awarded The Henry Stommel Research Award by the American Meteorological Society.

Nirzwan Bandolin, an OHSU graduate student in the lab of Dr, António Baptista, was the first student to present an electronic poster at the 2009 Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation (CERF) 20th Biennial Conference.

The Center for Coastal Margin Observation & Prediction (CMOP) at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) will honor Alan Parker, attorney and scholar. Parker is being honored for his efforts to bring people together around river-to-ocean ecosystems, climate change effects, and indigenous knowledge systems.

In the summer of 2006, marine life was devastated by hypoxia (low-oxygen) in the coastal waters of the Quinault Indian Nation (QIN). Today the tribe is gaining a better understanding of hypoxia in their coastal waters with assistance from the Center for Coastal Margin Observation & Prediction (CMOP).

The center is using two ships, robotic underwater vehicles, and other tools to peform research in the Pacific Northwest coastal-offshore region and the Columbia River estuary. This field campaign will expand on the work done earlier in the year and provide a summer condition contrast to the earlier spring freshet campaign.
