This is a great opportunity to get involved in your local community. From: Elliott, Erica K <erica.elliott(a)oregonstate.edu> Sent: Thursday, February 27, 2025 1:33 PM To: Condon, Khrystal C <khrystal.condon(a)oregonstate.edu> Subject: Week 10 SUS event on Coffin Butte Landfill Hi Khrystal, I'm writing to you because I know that many of your students share an interest in sustainability! The SUS double degree program is hosting an event about the Coffin Butte landfill expansion in Week 10. I've attached a flyer (as well as some supporting documents). Please share with students as you see fit. Landfills touch on many sustainability issues-the linear economy, waste prevention and management, environmental toxins, environmental justice, etc., and all of us have a responsibility to contemplate where our waste goes. What Do You Know about the Proposed Coffin Butte Landfill Expansion? Learn more in conversation with Mark Yaeger, environmental engineer and Benton County resident, who has extensive knowledge and experience regarding Coffin Butte landfill. He will present a brief history of the landfill, describe its current and long-term impacts, and provide information on the proposed expansion.

2025 Food Drive to Benefit Linn and Benton County
by Cohen, Jennifer L 26 Feb '25

26 Feb '25

Greetings students, staff and faculty, This year's food drive is a month later so we have started the planning process! A huge thank you to the Ecological Engineering Student Society, who have already had an event to help support these efforts. Every year OSU is one of many in the state of Oregon who participate in the Oregon Governors Food Drive. Donations from OSU alone provide 20% of the budget to the local Linn Benton Food Share. With the changes in the economy, they need our help now more than ever. BEE has many events lined up for the month and we hope you can help and participate. We are looking for quite a few donations of items including: Peanut Butter Jelly/Jam Art pieces to raffle Flea market items - this could be anything that you think can sell on campus. I have tons of stuff I've been selling the past few flea markets to help build these funds but my stock is starting to get low. WIP sale - this is a work in progress sale. Bring all those art projects you started but never finished. Bring any art supplies you have lying around. Cheese for grilled cheese Tomato soup Kielbasa/Brats/onions/buns (we are doing these for St. Patty's day) Tea Hot chocolate Anything else you can contribute to this event! If you want to plan an event for the food drive, please chat with Ally as we welcome any help we can get on these!! We've already received a ton of donations and support from the Corvallis community, so please watch your emails during the month of March as we announce these fantastic fundraising opportunities, which include St. Patty's Day fun, PB&J Bar and Flea Market. Finally - faculty, you can do a monthly allotment donation from your pre-taxed paycheck. Just $5 a month provides a total of 360 meals for the community. Please let Ally know if you would like to contribute and she can send on the form. Help us beat the 6th floor of Kerr this year!!! Thank you!!

Seminars and Lectures: Water Resource Seminar Series: This Week’s Title: “Geothermal Energy and Hydrology: Evolving Understanding of Resource Potential for Low-Carbon Energy” Speaker: Dr. Erick Burns, USGS GMEG Science Center When: February 26 – 4:00pm-5:00pm Where: Bexell Hall 328 or Zoom<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Foregonsta…> (passcode WRE2025) Next Week’s Title: TBD Speaker: Dr. Sophia Wensman, Desert Research Institute When: March 5 – 4:00pm-5:00pm Where: Bexell Hall 328 or Zoom<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Foregonsta…> (passcode WRE2025) HMSC Science on Tap: Peering Beneath the Surface – Plankton in Real Life<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fevents.or…> When: Tuesday, February 25 – 6:00pm-7:00pm Speaker: Bob Cowen, HMSC Director and Associate Vice President for Marine Research Operations and Su Sponaugle, Department of Integrative Biology, Hatfield Marine Science Center, Oregon State University Where: Hatfield Marine Science Center, 2030 SE Marine Science Dr., Newport, OR 97365 Topic: Peering Beneath the Surface – Plankton in real life The use of increasingly advanced technologies for accessing the underwater world is key to the advancement of our understanding of marine ecology. This is particularly evident in the study of plankton, or organisms that live in the sea and drift with currents. Ranging from microscopic organisms to copepods, larval invertebrates and fishes, and gelatinous organisms, much of this planktonic life forms the base of the marine food web which supports larger and larger organisms up to marine mammals and even humans. Recent work with the In Situ Ichthyoplankton Imaging System (ISIIS), and its associated automated image processing pipeline, is presented as an example of where progress has been made with imaging systems. Examples are given of the application of ISIIS from projects conducted within the California Current Ecosystem ranging from detailed perspectives of thin layer dynamics in Monterey Bay, California, to riverine influence on cross shelf plankton community distributions to utilizing near-real time analyses to drive adaptive sampling within hypoxic areas off the Oregon coast. HMSC Research Seminar – Regime Shifts or Resilience? Causes of Change and Consequences for Diversity on Rocky Shores<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fevents.or…> When: Thursday, February 27 – 3:30pm-4:30pm Speaker: Zechariah Meunier, Postdoctoral Research Associate, College of Earth Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, Oregon State University Where: Hatfield Marine Science Center, 2030 SE Marine Science Dr., Newport, OR 97365 Topic: Regime shifts or resilience? Causes of change and consequences for diversity on rocky shores Long-term, large-scale experimental studies provide critical information about how global change influences communities. When environmental changes are severe, they can trigger abrupt transitions from one community type to another leading to a regime shift. From 2014 to 2016, rocky intertidal habitats in the northeast Pacific Ocean experienced extreme temperatures during a multi-year marine heatwave (MHW) and sharp population declines of the keystone predator Pisaster ochraceus due to sea star wasting disease (SSWD). We measured the community structure before, during and after the MHW onset and SSWD outbreak in a 19-year succession and species interaction experiment conducted in a rocky intertidal meta-ecosystem spanning 13 sites on four capes in Oregon and northern California, United States. Kelp abundance declined during the MHW due to extreme temperatures, while gooseneck barnacle and mussel abundances increased due to reduced predation pressure after the loss of Pisaster from SSWD. Using several methods, we detected regime shifts from substrate- or algae-dominated to invertebrate-dominated alternative states at two capes. After water temperatures cooled and Pisaster population densities recovered, community structure differed from pre-disturbance conditions, suggesting low resilience. Consequently, thermal stress and predator loss can result in regime shifts that fundamentally alter community structure even after restoration of baseline conditions. Despite changes in community structure, species diversity has recovered at most study sites. OSU Food Drive – March 1-31, 2025<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsolutions…> Every year, university departments and units plan a variety of fund- and food-raising activities to help the hungry. This effort is in conjunction with the Governor's State Employees Food Drive. The resources raised by OSU efforts in Corvallis benefit nonprofit agencies served by Linn-Benton Food Share(Link is external) (Link opens in new window)<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcommunity…>, while proceeds from County Extension Offices, Experiment Stations, OSU-Cascades and centers associated with OSU go to their local food banks. During the Food Drive, participating OSU departments, extension offices and student groups across campus compete to be the top fundraiser. Competing units are categorized by the number of employees in each department. At the end of the Food Drive, the top three fundraising units in each category are recognized. Last year, 2025, OSU contributed 467,777 meals to the Linn Benton Food Share and local food banks! This year, the Department of Biological & Ecological Engineering is hosting several events throughout March, 2025 to help raise funds for the food drive. Please see below for a list of some of our events: BEE PB&J Stand When: Every Week Day! (Monday-Friday) 9am-5pm Where: 116 Gilmore Hall, 124 SW 26th Street, Corvallis, OR 97331 BEE Chipotle Night!
