	note = {This study tracks possible conditions for Oregon coastal wetlands under six possible sea level rise scenarios between 2017 and 2160.  {\textquotedblleft}If tidal wetland plant communities are unable to survive the increased inundation associated with sea level rise, they will have to move to higher ground through dispersal of seeds, roots, or rhizomes. This process is called "landward migration," and the areas that could become future tidal wetlands are called {\textquotedblleft}landward migration zones{\textquotedblright} (LMZs) in this study.{\textquotedblright} (p.5) Potential landward migration zones are mapped.

	note = {All who live on the West Coast of the United States should be aware of the possibility of a major  earthquake occurring.  But what if only a part of the subduction zone ruptures?  This article examines a possible rupture in the southern half of the Cascadia Subduction Zone (south of Alsea Bay, Oregon).  The authors ask important questions. How quickly does tsunami wave height decline north of the southern rupture areas?  How much time do communities north of the southern rupture areas have to evacuate before the first inundation and the largest inundation occur? How far north of the southern rupture areas will felt shaking likely trigger evacuation of a populace trained to evacuate for a local earthquake? (p.851) The authors address these questions using a 10,000-year record of offshore turbedite deposits and  a ~4,600-year record of tsunami deposits at Bradley Lake.},
