An investigation into modeling snow cover elements at Crater Lake National Park and surrounding environs as an improved "ground truth" method for satellite snow observations

Creator:: Hamilton, William L.
Abstract:: Streamflow forecasts are essential to the optimal operation of hydroelectric and irrigation reservoirs in the Pacific Northwest. Satellite snow cover observations would aid in these streamflow forecasts by providing snow cover data at regular time intervals. Unfortunately, satellite capability to remotely sense mountain snow cover conditions is indeterminate due to...

Reconstructing a city: an historical and spatial evaluation of development pattern for the city of Corvallis, Oregon

Creator:: Hille, Erin O.
Abstract:: This study traces the development history of the city of Corvallis, Oregon. Historic reconstruction methods and GIS analysis are used to define and describe spatial aspects of the city's expansion through time. Pre-settlement and early settlement landscape conditions are considered. The city's history is divided into three time periods, 1845-1900,...

Residential solar energy use: barriers and incentives in a historical perspective

Creator:: Lesieutre, Aimee L.
Abstract:: Energy crises have triggered increases in solar energy use at various times in the past 2500 years. A surge of interest in solar energy was experienced in the United States in the late 1970's. This interest has since declined.

Abstract:: It has long been acknowledged that recreation activities can cause conflict among stakeholders with different perspectives. In 1949, Aldo Leopold, one of the earliest proponents of wilderness preservation, noted "Public policies for outdoor recreation are controversial. Equally conscientious citizens hold opposite views on what is and what should be done...

Do vigorous young forests reduce streamflow? Results from up to 54 years of streamflow records in eight paired-watershed experiments in the H. J. Andrews and South Umpqua Experimental Forests

Creator:: Perry, Timothy D.
Abstract:: This study quantified the magnitude and timing of summer streamflow deficits in paired-watershed experiments in the Cascade Range of Oregon where mature and old-growth conifer forests were subjected to clearcutting, patch cutting, and overstory thinning treatments in the 1960s and 1970s. Hydrologic effects of clearcutting, small-patch cutting, and overstory thinning...

A vacant industrial site survey for the Corvallis, Oregon urban area

Creator:: Elliott, Gerald E.
Abstract:: There is a considerable amount of vacant land zoned for industrial use within the Corvallis Urban Growth Boundary. A detailed investigation of the area reveals a total of 632.98 acres of such land. However, when closely scrutinized, it appears that the total number of acres is misleading, as only 77.50...
