An assessment of a Stream Reach Inventory and Channel Stability Evaluation : predicting and detecting flood-induced change in channel stability

Creator:: Morét, Stephanie L.
Abstract:: Pre-flood (1995), and post-flood (1996) channel stability surveys were conducted on 22 reaches along Oak Creek, Benton County, Oregon in an effort to note if the flood of February 1996 altered the channel and if the channel stability survey that was being used accurately predicted the channels resistance to change...

A map enhancement for terrain visualization under Night Vision Goggle compatible lighting systems

Creator:: Thompson, Wiley C.
Abstract:: For the Army aviator, Night Vision Goggle (NVG) flight in the tactical rotarywing profile is a very demanding, task saturated environment. Map navigation is just one of the many tasks that must be accomplished during flight. The dim, monochromatic lighting required for NVG flight alters map colors, decreases image detail...

A hydrological study of the Coast Fork/Middle Fork Willamette River Confluence Area

Creator:: Rogers, Valerie M.
Abstract:: The main purpose of this project is to describe the hydrologic characteristics, with and without regulation by dams, of the Coast and Middle Forks of the Willamette River, including the floodplain, from the confluence to approximately eight miles upstream. The research is intended to assess the future potential of the...

Sediment accumulation within weathering pits on Dance Hall Rock, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Utah

Creator:: Taddie, Marissa C.
Abstract:: The purpose of this paper was to examine if the depth and degree of circularity of weathering pits affects the accumulation of sediment. Thirty pits were surveyed over two one-week periods on Dance Hall Rock. Weathering pits were measured to determine their maximum width, minimum width, vertical depth, and depth...

Videographic and GPS techniques for monitoring active glacial surge: Bering Glacier, Alaska

Creator:: Thatcher, P. Anthony
Abstract:: Aerial videography in combination with GPS were used to monitor the active surge of Alaska's Bering Glacier. The large aerial extent of the study area and the unpredictable weather in coastal Alaska required innovative techniques to be used in order to successfully monitor the surge environment. A portable aerial videographic...

An earthquake emergency management model integrating remote sensing with geographic information systems: lessons learned from the 1999 Kocaeli, Turkey earthquake

Creator:: Young, Stephen L.
Abstract:: An emergency management system integrating remote sensing and geographic information systems applied to emergency preparation, response, and recovery could have reduced casualties and damage after the August 17, 1999 Kocaeli, Turkey earthquake. Model system components include a horizontally and vertically distributed knowledge base, LIDAR 3D urban modeling, automatic feature extraction,...

Use of GIS to determine effectiveness of natural attenuation

Creator:: Sharma, Ritu
Abstract:: Louisiana Army Ammunition Plant (LAAP), located near Shreveport, Louisiana, is a government-owned contractor-operated plant. Its purpose is to manufacture, load and assemble ammunition items. Area P has been used over the past 40 years to dump explosive-laden wastewater into 16 unlined lagoons. In 1989 LAAP was placed on the National...

Utilizing GIS for the collection of key variables in the analysis of an international freshwater basin spatial database

Creator:: Fiske, Gregory J.
Abstract:: The Geographic Information System (GIS) is an invaluable tool in manipulating and interpreting world scale datasets. In recent years it has become the standard link between water resource study and the ever-increasing numbers of high quality data sets. This paper describes the use of Geographic Information Systems for gathering and...

Vegetation classification of wild turkey habitat in Umpqua National Forest using color aerial photography

Creator:: Hazell, Bret Jack
Abstract:: This project focuses on the classification of vegetation as a habitat for wild turkeys. The vegetation classification discussed here is only one part of a study looking at habitat requirements, seasonal use patterns, and brood-rearing habits of wild turkeys in Southern Oregon. The vegetation classification was performed for an area...

The mapping of eelgrass in Willapa Bay, WA and an evaluation of coastal change analysis program mapping guidelines

Creator:: Hazen, Christopher J.
Abstract:: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) is developing a nationally standardized database on landcover and habitat change in the coastal regions of the United States. The Willapa Bay eelgrass mapping project was granted to the Columbia River Estuary Study Task force (CREST) of Astoria,...
