The Terra Research Magazine consists of print and born-digital content highlighting the research, scholarship, and creative endeavors of faculty and students at Oregon State University. Terra was launched in spring 2006 with a color print magazine and companion website. This collection includes print and born-digital versions of the magazine as well as captures of the accompanying website. Many articles were written by Editor Nick Houtman and writer Lee Sherman.
The content of the magazine represents the full range of research conducted at Oregon State University and includes science, technology, and engineering; natural resources; agriculture, ecosystems, and the environment; marine sciences and climate; and public health.
