Impacts of instream flows on the Colorado River Delta, Mexico : spatial vegetation change analysis and opportunities for restoration

Creator:: Zamora-Arroyo, Jose Francisco
Abstract:: Until the 1930s, flows of the Colorado River maintained approximately 781,060 hectares of wetlands in its delta. These wetlands provided important feeding and nesting grounds for resident and migratory birds as well as spawning and protection habitat for many fish and other invertebrate species. However, the Delta's wetlands started to...

Non-Regulatory Techniques for Fish and Wildlife Habitat Protection on Private Lands

Creator:: Malouf, Beth
Abstract:: A survey was developed for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife to collect information about non-regulatory fish and wildlife habitat programs in nine states (Alaska, California, Florida, Maine, Minnesota, Montana, Pennsylvania, Texas and Vermont). Non-regulatory programs are voluntary and offer incentives to landowners who are interested in protecting or...

The impact of golf courses on farm practices : an Oregon case study

Creator:: Carpenter, David
Abstract:: Oregon's agricultural land use goal, (Goal 3), was established to protect farm land. Land designated as Exclusive Farm Use is subject to various use provisions and permit review criteria. Golf courses are permitted in the EFU zone when they will not significantly change, or increase the cost of, accepted farming...

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...

Basin level ecological regions of the upper Grande Ronde River

Creator:: Thiele, Sandra Anne
Abstract:: Ecological regionalization is a form of spatial classification, where boundaries are drawn around areas relatively homogeneous in landscape characteristics. In the delineation of ecological regions, or ecoregions, the process includes the analysis of ecosystem structure and function. Ecoregions have been developed at national and state scales for research and resource...

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))....

Vegetation analysis and spatial visualization of a tidal salt marsh

Creator:: Buchner, Ed L.
Abstract:: Mitchell Marsh, a tidal salt marsh in the Salmon River Estuary, was diked in the early 1960s. Restoration of the marsh, which began in late 1978, consisted of partial dike removal. Several studies have been conducted in the marsh, addressing the status of the developing salt marsh plant communities. Species...

Developing a Geographic Information System county template to support tsunami evacuation route planning on the Oregon Coast

Creator:: Gomez, Kyle R.
Abstract:: Tsunamis pose a major threat to Oregon's coastal communities. Evacuation is the best method to mitigate for tsunamis. Planning for tsunami evacuation is underway in Oregon's coastal communities. Current methodologies use tsunami inundation models and population for evacuation planning. Tsunamis from a Cascadia subduction zone (CSZ) earthquake will create more...

The visualization of perspective systems and iconology in Dürer’s cartographic works : an in-depth analysis using multiple methodological approaches

Creator:: Wörz, Adèle Lorraine
Abstract:: This dissertation uses a new methodological approach for an in-depth analysis of three cartographic works. Studies within the discipline of the history of cartography have followed various methodologies throughout the past century. This dissertation argues that in order to come to a more complete understanding of how maps were produced...

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...
