Integration of submersible transect data andhigh-resolution sonar imagery for a habitat-based groundfish assessment of Heceta Bank, Oregon

Creator:: Nasby, Nicole M.
Abstract:: Dramatic declines in several groundfish populations have occurred along the U.S. West Coast during the last decade (PFMC 1999, Sampson 1997, Ralston 1998, Bloeser 1999). One problem exacerbating these declines is insufficient stock assessments, especially for species of west coast rockfish (Family Scorpaenidae, Genus Sebastes) which comprise the core of...

The Potential of Dynamic Segmentation for Aquatic Ecosystem Management : Pacific Lamprey Decline in the Native Lands of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians (Oregon, USA)

Creator:: Palacios, Kelly C.
Abstract:: The Lamprey Eel Decline project conducted by the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians (CTSI) combined traditional ecological knowledge, scientific research and geographic information science. CTSI wanted to learn why the Pacific lamprey (Lampetra tridentata), a culturally and ecologically important species, was declining in the streams within their native land area....

Using remote sensing, in situ observations, and geographic information systems to map benthic habitats at Heceta Bank, Oregon

Creator:: Whitmire, Curt E.
Abstract:: Dramatic declines in many species of demersal fishes off the West Coast have resulted in the designation of nine commercially important species as being overfished. While the causes of those declines are not clearly understood, the fact remains that a paucity of life history and abundance data exists for many...

Data Integration

Creator:: Wright, Dawn J.
Abstract:: Data integration is the process of combining data of different themes, content, scale or spatial extent, projections, acquisition methods, formats, schema, or even levels of uncertainty, so that they can be understood and analyzed. There is often a common display method used with integrated datasets that, although they are not...

GIScience

Creator:: Wright, Dawn J.
Abstract:: GIScience (geographic information science) is a scholarly discipline that addresses fundamental issues surrounding the use of a variety of digital technologies to handle geographic information; namely, information about places, activities, and phenomena on and near the surface of the Earth that are stored in maps or images. GIScience includes the...

A GIS Evaluation of Land Use Zones and Water Quality for Marine Conservation Site Selection in Lincoln County, Oregon

Creator:: Henderson, Ann Miller
Abstract:: The leasing of submerged and submersible lands is emerging as a new marine conservation method. Using a geographic information system, this study: (1) examines the suitability of estuary tideland sites for conservation leasing in Lincoln County, Oregon, and (2) explores the relationship between adjacent terrestrial land use zones and the...

The M₂ Internal Tide off Oregon: Inferences from Data Assimilation

Creator:: Kurapov, Alexander L., Egbert, Gary D., Allen, J. S., Miller, Robert N., Erofeeva, Svetlana Y., and Kosro, P. M.
Abstract:: A linearized baroclinic, spectral-in-time tidal inverse model has been developed for assimilation of surface currents from coast-based high-frequency (HF) radars. Representer functions obtained as a part of the generalized inverse solution show that for superinertial flows information from the surface velocity measurements propagates to depth along wave characteristics, allowing internal...

Development of a synoptic map-pattern climatology to supplement current weather forecasting methods

Creator:: Frey, Melissa D. (Melissa Dawn)
Abstract:: Many meteorologists rely heavily on their experience of past weather events to supplement their forecasting tools, such as using past experience to help decide between conflicting numerical weather prediction models. Experiential knowledge is an important piece of forecasting, however it is highly subjective and variable from one forecaster to another....

Habitat mapping and identifying suitable habitat of Redfish Rocks Pilot Marine Reserve, Port Orford, Oregon

Creator:: Amolo, Rizaller C.
Abstract:: Establishment of marine protected areas (MPAs) has been documented to effectively manage marine resource's diversity and enhance fisheries productivity. However, there must be a critical consideration of how these sites are selected and the actual description of the site itself. Its effectiveness is greatly dependent on understanding these habitats and...

The distribution and partitioning of dissolved organic matter off the Oregon Coast : a first look

Creator:: Hill, Jon K.
Abstract:: The purpose of this thesis is to provide a first look at the spatial and temporal distributions of dissolved organic material (DOM) off the Oregon coast of North America. While this paper is not a comprehensive examination of these distributions, several patterns are identified as promising candidates for continued research....
