Creator:: Assail, N. Daniela
Abstract:: Data on ocean wave height and energy have been gathered via microseismometer at Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport, Oregon since 1971. Data on wave characteristics at Newport for the winter seasons (November through March) from 1982 to 1990 were analyzed to ascertain any relationships with winter storm events. Newport...

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...

Creator:: Foisy, Jeffrey S.
Abstract:: With the current pressure for increased growth, the affects of climatic forcing events pose serious threats to Oregon's Coastal Communities. Mathematical methods have been implemented to establish setback distances for development adjacent to littoral cells. Using formulae developed by the Coastal Construction Setback Taskforce (CCST) under the Oregon Coastal Management...

Creator:: Gaston, Greg G.
Abstract:: The purpose of this research was to develop methods for using geographic information system (GIS) analysis and unsupervised classification of Global Vegetation Index (GVI) images to improve carbon budget estimates of the former Soviet Union (FSU). A GIS was used to locate the geographic distribution and estimate the area of...

Creator:: Whelan, Nathaniel L.
Abstract:: Field Automation is an evolving set of geographic information system (GIS) technologies, including mobile computing and the global positioning system, addressing operational and environmental applications in the field. This research involves designing, developing, implementing, and evaluating an environmental and facility application field automated GIS. The Camp Rilea National Guard base,...

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...

Creator:: Zhang, Hongyun
Abstract:: The purpose of this paper is to identify significant storm events occurring over a ten year period along the Oregon coast. The findings will be used in a larger research framework to build an information base that looks into the role of climatic forcing on coastal erosion and sediment transport...

Creator:: Saligoe-Simmel, Julia L.
Abstract:: Streamflow variability can provide valuable information for nonpoint source pollution monitoring program planning. The research papers presented in this thesis examine selected properties of streamflow variability in Oregon to advance its application in regional planning of water quality monitoring programs. The products of this research depict Oregon streams by their...
