Analysis of spatial data from terrain models for landslide predictive mapping

Creator:

Santha, Rubini

Abstract:

Landslides are a pervasive hazard that can result in substantial damage to properties and loss of life throughout the world. To understand the nature and scope of the hazard, landslide hazard mapping has been an area of intense research by identifying areas most susceptible to landslides in order to mitigate...

Coastal hazards and community exposure in a changing climate : the development of probabilistic coastal change hazard zones

Creator:

Baron, Heather M.

Abstract:

Documented trends in rising sea levels, storminess, and extreme wave heights have the potential to increase the frequency and magnitude of coastal change hazards, increasing risks to coastal infrastructure and environmental resources. Coastal planners and decision makers need information about the impacts of future hazards in order to apply mitigation...

Forest Soils and Topography : Decoding the Influence of Physical Site Characteristics on Soil Water and Forest Productivity in Oregon's Coast Ranges

Creator:

Rodman, Henry

Abstract:

Forest soils and topography have long been known to influence forest productivity in complex terrain such as Oregon’s Coast Ranges. Incorporating physical site characteristics into predictions of forest growth and yield, however, has been problematic because of the high spatial variability of soil properties and the challenges associated with representing...
