A channel stability inventory for two streams on the eastern slopes of the Coast Range, Oregon

Creator:: Sachet, James A.
Abstract:: Stream channel stability for two tributaries of Rock Creek in the Oregon Coast Range is evaluated by application of a Stream Reach Inventory. Stability nomographs are constructed for graphical analysis of erosion potential. Results indicate that channel stability can be classified. One stream is rated as 'Poor' in resistance to...

A preliminary investigation into the hydrology of the Jackson/Frazier Wetland, Oregon

Creator:: Drost, Monica Buffkin
Abstract:: The Jackson/Frazier Wetland is a small wetland in Benton County, Oregon. It has one main inf lowing stream, Jackson/Frazier Creek, and one main outfiowing stream, a man-made drainage ditch. Streamflow measurements were collected for both streams over a four month period of November 1983 to February 1984. This data was...

A study of the geomorphological processes at the Siltcoos foredune breaching experiment site

Creator:: Hanna, James M.
Abstract:: The focus of this study was to examine and record the physical changes brought about by the breaching of the Siltcoos Foredune. The origin of the dunes and the physical processes that operate there must be considered before effects due to the breach can be studied. A series of field...

An analysis of suspected neoglacial ice-cored impounding Carver Lake, South Sister region, High Cascades, Oregon

Creator:: Rector, Michel L.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study is to determine if the ntoraines damming proglacial Carver Lake are ice-cored. The methodology to be employed consists of interpretation of aerial photographs and field observations. The results of these studies will be compared. to past research of known ice-cored moraines in other regions of...

An Investigation of Photographic Band-Ratioing

Creator:: Fisher, Scott William
Abstract:: A photographic band-ratioing technique was investigated. The data source consisted of 70 mm Landsat Multispectral Scanner (MSS) negatives. The process would require combining registered positive and negative transparencies to achieve a ratio modulation in the resulting print. This would also require compensation for atmospheric effects on the original negatives by...

Cirque orientation in the major highlands of Oregon

Creator:: McEwan, Duncan
Abstract:: Cirque aspects and elevations in the major highlands of Oregon indicate a pattern of climate during the Pleistocene similar to that of today. Mean cirque floor elevation increases toward the drier interior. Concentrations of cirques facing northeast, and steep gradients of cirque floor trend surfaces to the southwest, indicate a...

Comparison of soil and vegetation map delineation shapes and areal correspondence

Creator:: Bilton, Janet
Abstract:: Map delineations of soil and vegetation for a 14,000 acre (5,800 hectare) site in the Oregon Coast Range were compared. Research objectives were to ascertain the types of information that could be extracted from delineation comparisons and to develop a methodology suited to this purpose. The latter objective was achieved...

Design criteria for a surface coal mine reclamation plan in northwest Colorado

Creator:: Marston, Richard Alan
Abstract:: The surface mining of coal has accelerated in northwest Colorado to the point where public pressure plus impending state and federal regulations dictate the need for comprehensive reclamation plans. A large coal company operating in Moffat County has solicited recommendations concerning soils, hydrogeology, geomorphology, aesthetics, wildlife, vegetation, microclimatology, and legal...

Determination of Coastal changes in Lincoln County, Oregon using aerial photographic interpretation

Creator:: Smith, Elaine C.
Abstract:: In order for proper land use planning to occur in coastal Lincoln County, Oregon, coastal erosion rates should be determined. This has been accomplished by identifying the location of the Lincoln County coast in 1939, 1959, and 1973 and measuring the amount of change occurring between the years. The area...

Eolian landforms and wind power prospecting in the Central Columbia River Basin

Creator:: McClenahan, Michael R.
Abstract:: Sand dunes are used as indicators of wind power potential and examples are presented of their application as a prospecting technique at four study sites in the Central Columbia River Basin. Aerial reconnaissance is combined with interpretation of photography and topographic maps as a basis of sand dune analysis. Sand...

Geographical geomorphology : historical development, contemporary problems, and future prospects

Creator:: Beach, Gary L.
Abstract:: Geographical geomorphology is a young science with a long, complex history closely paralleling the growth and development of geology. From an enthusiastic beginning under the tutelage of William Morris Davis, geographical geomorphology rapidly lost its influence and stature in geography. Today there is a sense of purpose and direction that...

Geomorphological analysis of North Fork Toutle River, Washington, 1980-1984

Creator:: Pearson, Monte L.
Abstract:: The 18 May 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, emplaced between 3-3.5 billion cubic yards (bcy) of poorly sorted material ranging from silt to boulders, extending from river mile (RM) 25 to RM 38 in the upper North Fork Toutle River drainage. Sediment yields from the debris avalanche were calculated...

Glacial landforms on snow peak in the Western Cascade Mountains of Oregon

Creator:: Hruska, John L.
Abstract:: Pleistocene glaciation in the upper elevations of the Western Cascade Mountains took two characteristic forms: cirque and valley glaciers. Field observations in the Neal Creek and Thomas Creek drainage areas of Snow Peak provide evidence of three glacial advances. Glacial landforms in the Neal Creek Valley are dominated by a...

Hillslope mass movements and environmental relations - Moss Creek, Oregon

Creator:: Stauch, Carola A.
Abstract:: A slide inventory was conducted for a small watershed in the northern Oregon Coast Range. Data on geology, topography and climate were used to evaluate land stability in the Moss Creek basin. As expected, a strong correlation with slope steepness was shown. In addition, failures predominantly occurred on slopes with...

Identifying and planning for environmental hazards in Lincoln City, Oregon

Creator:: Anderson, Sterling Marshall
Abstract:: Lincoln City, Oregon is an area of active environmental processes and increasing development. To reduce conflict, a larger data base on environmental hazards was required. Previous studies in the area, remote sensing techniques and. field research were used to accomplish this end. Within Lincoln City, numerous environmental hazards were identified...

Increasing the usefulness of high-altitude color infrared photography for the inventory, monitoring, and management of western wildland resources

Creator:: Colwell, Robert R.
Abstract:: This report describes the latest in a series of studies sponsored by the Nationwide Forestry Applications Program. Each such study has attempted to enhance the interpretability of remotely-sensed imagery. In this case the image type of specific interest is high-altitude color infrared (CIR) photography. This is a resource management tool...

Landslide hazards in The Dalles, Wasco County, Oregon

Creator:: Sholin, Michael Hugh
Abstract:: Human activity has led to the reactivation of portions of a Pleistocene landslide complex in The Dalles, Oregon. Slope movements are in rocks of the Chenowith formation: agglomerate, conglomerate, tuff breccia, sandstone, and siltstone. Slope movements occur in at least two distinct areas in The Dalles. At one, the shear...
