According to source, Three Oregon universities are working together on a five-year study of climate change, population growth and water availability, a project supported by a $4.3 million National Science Foundation grant.
Faculty from Oregon State University, the University of Oregon and Portland State University will work together on “Willamette Water 2100,” a study that will use Oregon’s Willamette River basin as a test case for managing regional water supply.
The project will set out to answer three questions:
• Where are human activity and climate change most likely to create conditions of water scarcity?
• Where is water scarcity most likely to exert the greatest impact on ecosystems and communities?
• What strategies would allow communities to prevent, mitigate or adapt to scarcity most successfully?
Researchers will incorporate policy makers’ outlooks and water users’ viewpoints into a computer-modeling tool, called Envision, developed by OSU’s College of Agricultural Sciences and the College of Science.
The project builds on the Willamette River Basin Planning Atlas, created in 2002 by researchers at the University of Oregon and OSU.

According to source, For the second year in a row, Oregon State University will face off against University of Oregon in the RecycleMania Civil War competition.
The 10-week competition is open to OSU students, faculty and staff. The winner is the university that gathers the most recyclable material by weight and per capita, based on the entire population of students and staff on April 2, when the competition ends. It began Sunday.
OSU won last year’s competition with 17.1 pounds per person; UO had 14.9 per person. Overall, OSU took in 374,864 pounds of recycled material.
The prize for the winning school? Well, it’s appropriate and arty if not exactly flashy: It’s a trophy made from recycled materials, to be passed each year to the winning school. It was designed by a UO student last year.
Andrea Norris, the outreach coordinator of OSU’s Campus Recycling, said OSU has participated in the nationwide RecycleMania competition for nearly 10 years. It seemed natural that the similar size of the recycling programs at OSU and UO would inspire a new kind of Civil War competition.
“When you localize something, it makes it a lot more compelling to see how we’re doing,” she said.
Nearly 600 schools are taking part in this year’s nationwide RecycleMania competition.
Recycled items, including compost, can be placed in the various bins around campus and will be picked up by Campus Recycling.
Not all commonly used items can be recycled. Norris said disposable coffee cups and clear plastic “clamshell” to-go food containers often are placed in recycling bins but cannot be recycled.
However, many people throw away other plastic products — such as yogurt containers — that are recyclable.
“Plastics are probably the most confusing category,” Norris said.
In addition to the recycling drive, Campus Recycling is sponsoring a series of informational events on recycling and composting in the month of February.
Information on pickup locations and types of recycled material accepted by Campus Recycling can be found on their website at recycle.oregonstate.edu.
