Transfers of water rights in New Mexico's Rio Grande basin : spatiotemporal and sociocultural patterns

Creator:: Shively, David D.
Abstract:: Water right marketing and transfers represent a resource reallocation strategy that has received considerable attention in the American West owing to nearly full appropriation of water in the region. Several western states permit transfers between different uses and places of use thus allowing water to move to higher-value economic activities....

The spatial location and temporal frequency of storm fronts along the Pacific Coast between 35 and 55 degrees north latitude during the period 1973-1994

Creator:: Barnett, Steven J.
Abstract:: Research Questions: 1) What are the characteristics of storm location and frequency that distinguish interannual forcing events, (ENSO periods) for the northwest Pacific Coast? 2) Are there differences in the spatial and temporal characteristics of storm events, (location and frequency), between interannual forcing periods and annual average periods? 3) Are...

The mapping of buildable slopes in Reedsport and Sutherlin, Oregon: a model for determining percent slope in required city-level buildable lands inventories

Creator:: Finnen, Danny K.
Abstract:: Purpose The purpose of this project is to aid the Umpqua Regional Council of Governments as they try to identify buildable lands in Douglas County, Oregon particularly in the cities of Reedsport and Sutherlin. This project will help Reedsport upgrade its recently completed Buildable Lands Inventory and provide Sutherlin with...

The conceptual development and use of ecoregion classifications

Creator:: Brewer, Isaac
Abstract:: This thesis explores the genesis of the ecoregion concept, examines the conceptual development of ecoregion classification systems, investigates applications of ecoregion classification systems for a broad range of purposes, and discusses the prospects for the further evolution of this concept. An ecoregion is an area that exhibits patterns of homogeneity...

Stream classification in the Pacific Northwest : methodologies, regional analyses, and applications

Creator:: Castro, Janine M.
Abstract:: Stream management and design recommendations related to the Salmon Habitat Recovery Program in the Pacific Northwest require area specific information concerning appropriate methods of stream classification, bankfull discharge recurrence intervals, and hydraulic geometry relationships. New region specific information, based on field measurements, is presented here. The Rosgen Classification of Natural...

Spatial patterns of anomalous runoff to precipitation ratios for watersheds within the contiguous United States arranged by level one ecoregions

Creator:: Pittman, Jason W.
Abstract:: Mean annual runoff to precipitation (R/P) ratios were generated for 966 watersheds within the contiguous United States. The watersheds were plotted using Arc View GIS and used as part of an overlay analysis with Level 1 U.S. ecoregions. The ratios were statistically evaluated to determine anomalous R/P conditions within the...

Spatial changes in alpine treeline vegetation patterns along hiking trails in Glacier National Park, Montana

Creator:: Klasner, Frederick L.
Abstract:: Sequential aerial photography was used to identify effects of hiking trails on the spatial distribution of subalpine fir (Abies lasiocarpa) habitat at alpine treeline. Vegetation change over a 46 year period was compared along trails relative to areas without trails, at five study sites in the McDonald Creek drainage of...

Shoreline response to jetty extension and natural forcing events at Siuslaw Bay, Oregon 1981-1990

Creator:: Carstarphen, Camela A.
Abstract:: This paper investigated observed morphologic changes in sand accretion and erosion due to sedimentary processes at the jetty entrance to the Siuslaw River near Florence, Oregon. Ten years of data on morphologic change in sand and sediment distribution, collected semiannually between 1981-1990, was used to analyze the nearshore sedimentation processes...

Resource applications of Geographic Information Systems: the development of the roads layer for the Siuslaw National Forest

Creator:: Cogswell, Megan L.
Abstract:: The U.S. Forest Service has been actively using new information technologies since the formation of the agency. Currently forests are using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for mapping, data storage, modeling, and spatial analysis. The Siuslaw National Forest has an active GIS with many data layers. A project to correct the...

Identifying potential groundwater problems areas in western Marion County using a Geographic Information System

Creator:: Beighle, Jackson K.
Abstract:: The main objective of the study was to identify potential groundwater problem areas in Western Marion County using a geographic information system (GIS) and the Oregon Water Resources Department's (OWRD's) well log database (see figure 1). Potential groundwater problem areas were identified based on their mean static water level. According...
