Life at OSU

New research indicates that global warming may increase upwelling in several ocean current systems globally by the end of this century and will cause major changes in marine biodiversity.

OSU engineers have created some of the most precise studies yet done of the impact of a major tsunami on the Columbia River, and how far inland flooding might occur.

Gabor Temes, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at Oregon State University, has been elected to the National Academy of Engineering.

A new study has found that both the population and habitat of Pacific lamprey - an ecologically and culturally important species - are declining in western Oregon.

Oregon in 2014 logged its second hottest year since records were kept beginning in 1895, while the global temperature was the hottest on record.

Tropical herbivorous fish are expanding their range into temperate waters and a new international study documents the dramatic impact of the intrusion in the Mediterranean Sea.

A new study of Pacific oyster and Mediterranean mussel larvae found that the earliest larval stages are directly sensitive to saturation state, not carbon dioxide (CO₂) or pH.

A big data competition with prizes totalling $175,000 has been launched to solve a scientific challenge.
