The use of riparian open space as an alternative to structural flood control measures in the United States

Creator:: Olson, Thomas
Abstract:: Annual flood damages continue to rise in the United States in spite of massive investments in flood control structures since 1936. These increased losses can be attributed, in part, to the inherent Limitations in scope and nature of traditional "structural" approaches to flood control. Acquisition of flood plain lands is...

Long-term variation in growth of Dover sole (Microstomous pacificus) and English sole (Parophrys vetulus), and its possible relationship with upwelling

Creator:: Kreuz, Keith Francis
Abstract:: Variation in growth rate of Dover sole (Microstomous pacificus) off Astoria and Brookings, and English sole (Parophrys vetulus) growth off Astoria and Coos Bay, Oregon was studied using the distance between annuli on scales and interoperculum bones indicating growth rate for Dover sole and English sole respectively. The age at...

Academic Discourse(s) and Practitioner Perspectives: Gendered Climate Adaptation Strategies for Water Resources

Creator:: Keith, Theresa L.
Abstract:: Research into the phenomenon of adaptation has surged in recent years as people across the globe face evolving climate situations. The role of women in this adaptation research, and in policy discussions, is often unclear or entirely unaddressed. An array of literature exists on the inclusion of women into environmental...

The geology, geochronology, and geochemistry of the Kaskanak Batholith, and other late Cretaceous to Eocene magmatism at the Pebble porphyry Cu-Au-Mo deposit, SW Alaska

Creator:: Olson, Nansen H.
Abstract:: The Pebble porphyry Cu-Au-Mo deposit in Alaska is one of the world's largest Cu-Au mineral resources. Late Cretaceous magmatic evolution in the Pebble district culminated with the intrusion of the Kaskanak Batholith and associated porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum mineralization. The Kaskanak Batholith is a multiphase granodiorite intrusion with an estimated footprint of...

Breeding biology and early life history of the tufted puffin (Fratercula cirrhata)

Creator:: Boone, Daniel L.
Abstract:: The breeding biology and early life history of the Tufted Puffin (Fratercula cirrhata) were studied for two years on Goat Island, Curry County, Oregon. Artificial nest boxes were used to minimize disturbance and provide easy access to puffin eggs and chicks. Utilization of these boxes was 47.5% and 57.5% in...

Attitudes and behavior toward energy consumption among Oregon residents and their sociodemographic correlates

Creator:: Marganus, Martin
Abstract:: The relationship between attitudes toward energy and conservation behavior was studied in the context of sociodemographic and housing characteristics. Data were obtained by mail survey from a random sample of 1,503 Oregon households (Western Regional Agricultural Experiment Station Project, W-159). The return rate was 55 percent (834). Attitudes toward energy...

Surface and subsurface geology of the Santa Barbara-Goleta metropolitan area, Santa Barbara County, California

Creator:: Olson, Daniel J.
Abstract:: The Santa Barbara-Montecito and Goleta basins are structurally continuous fault-controlled Pleistocene basins containing up to 3000 feet (925 m) of marine Pleistocene Santa Barbara Formation which were deposited on previously deformed Sisquoc and older strata. Structures subcropping against the unconformity at the base of the Santa Barbara Formation show that...

Fertilizer nitrogen use efficiency by winter wheat in the Willamette Valley

Creator:: Kjelgren, Roger Keith
Abstract:: Efficiency of nitrogen fertilizer uptake by soft white winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was measured over two cropping seasons across a range of soils and cropping histories in the Willamette Valley. Fate and potential losses of applied nitrogen were also assessed over a seventeen month period. In both cropping seasons,...

A quantitative analysis and description of the delivery and distribution of large woody debris in Cummins Creek, Oregon

Creator:: McGarry, Edward V.
Abstract:: Large woody debris (LWD) consists of boles, root wads and large branches that enter the stream through a variety of processes including senescence, wind throw, bank failure, fire, and debris torrents brought on by flood events. Within the stream, LWD provides significant benefits to aquatic organisms by contributing nutrients, providing...

Bedrock geology and stratigraphy of the northern parts of the Armstead and Madigan Gulch anticlines, Beaverhead County, Montana

Creator:: Goodhue, William V.
Abstract:: Approximately 18 square miles are included in the study area which lies 17 miles southwest of the town of Dillon, Montana. Strata exposed in the area include metamorphic, sedimentary, and volcanic rocks ranging in age from Precambrian to Recent. The Paleozoic and Mesozoic section is approximately 8000 feet thick and...
