Geology and paleoseismology of the Trans-Yamuna active fault system, Himalayan foothills of northwest India

Creator:: Oatney, Emily M.
Abstract:: Satellite image interpretation, geologic mapping, and paleoseismic trenching are used to investigate the Trans-Yamuna active fault system in the northwestern Doon Valley of the Indian Himalayan foothills. This east-west fault system is subparallel to and crosses the Main Boundary thrust near the structural transition from the Nahan salient to the...

Geology, structure, and tectonic history of the Tualatin Basin, northwestern Oregon

Creator:: Popowski, Thomas Allan
Abstract:: The northwest-trending Neogene Tualatin basin in northwestern Oregon is a pull-apart basin with approximately 750 m of post-middle Miocene structural relief. Gently tilted uplands capped by Columbia River Basalt Group surround the synclinal basin on all sides. Integrated gravity, aeromagnetic, and seismic reflection data indicated that the basin is underlain...

I. Direction of maximum horizontal compression in western Oregon determined by borehole breakouts. II. Structure and tectonics of the northern Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Werner, Kenneth Stefan
Abstract:: Elliptical borehole enlargements or "breakouts" caused by systematic spalling of a borehole wall due to regional maximum horizontal stresses were identified in 18 wells drilled in the Coast Range and Willamette Valley of western Oregon. The breakouts generally indicate a NNW to NNE orientation of maximum horizontal compression (oH[subscript max])...

A modified synoptic analysis of the status of Oregon's Willamette Valley wetlands

Creator:: Gabriel, John T.
Abstract:: Sound wetland management depends on an accurate comprehensive assessment of functional wetland values. This management should account for the cumulative impacts to regions and landscapes resulting from piecemeal destruction and degradation of wetland resources. A regional or watershed evaluation of wetland values can also make site-specific assessments more efficient. The...

A resource classification and vegetation change analysis of the Jackson-Frazier Wetland, Benton County, Oregon

Creator:: Jones, Lisa D.
Abstract:: Benton County established the Jackson-Frazier Wetland as a park in 1992. My project was undertaken to assist Benton County Parks in managing the wetland. The project contains two elements: a GIS and a vegetation change analysis from 1936 to 1994. GIS coverages created in ARC/INFO were: 1) the course of...

Large woody debris and geomorphic influences on stream morphology within the transitional climatic zone of the northern Oregon Cascades

Creator:: Brunfelt, Michael Richard
Abstract:: Loss of anadromous and resident fish habitat has become an increasing concern in the Columbia River Basin. Forest management practices play a role in the health of headwater stream habitat. The effects of instream large woody debris is known to effect stream morphology and fish habitat. This paper considers effects...

Geographic Information System (GIS) resource inventories: the Marys River Project

Creator:: Chapman, Shannen S.
Abstract:: The Greenbelt Land Trust (GLT) (a grass-roots conservation group in Oregon) is interested in a conservation plan for the Marys River Corridor. To facilitate this effort, a resource inventory was required and a Geographic Information System (GIS) data base used to compile the inventory (called the Marys River Project (MRP))....

Residential solar energy use: barriers and incentives in a historical perspective

Creator:: Lesieutre, Aimee L.
Abstract:: Energy crises have triggered increases in solar energy use at various times in the past 2500 years. A surge of interest in solar energy was experienced in the United States in the late 1970's. This interest has since declined. Still, concerns about dependency on imported fuels, the environmental effects of...

Historic attempts to cope with level variability of Great Salt Lake, Utah: a case study in social and environmental relationships

Creator:: Richards, Paul C.
Abstract:: The Great Salt Lake is typical of Great Basin and other arid land saline lakes in morphological and chemical characteristics. As with other terminal lakes, the level of Great Salt Lake is determined by the variable weather patterns that are typical of arid and semi-arid regions. Because of it's flat,...

River restoration: active vs. passive restoration efforts, Alder Creek example

Creator:: Keating, Stephen
Abstract:: The practice of river and stream restoration has increased with heightened environmental concerns and awareness. Many of these projects use structural modifications in an attempt to mimic natural landscapes. These structural modifications represent an active approach to river and stream restoration. Active restoration projects are well funded and extensively constructed....
