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...

Chronic coastal hazards and coastal construction setback modeling with Geographic Information Systems on Oregon's central coast

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...

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...

A procedure for estimating the carbon budget of terrestrial ecosystems in the former Soviet Union by geographic information system analysis and classification of AVHRR derived Global Vegetation Index

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...

Selected factors affecting rangeland use on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation

Creator:: Kuhlken, Robert
Abstract:: The rangelands of the Warm Springs Indian Reservation represent a major resource within a definitive geographic area. The utilization of this resource is affected by a number of factors, some of which are examined here. The cultural evolution of the Warm Springs people has resulted in the horse maintaining a...

A georeferenced digital image analysis of micro-topographic patterns within the Willamette Floodplain Research Natural Area, W. L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge

Creator:: Anderson, Karen L.
Abstract:: The present day vegetation pattern of the Willamette Valley is a result of a long past of human alteration of the landscape. Beginning with aboriginal burning of the grasslands to present day land uses, the vegetation of the valley has been affected by anthropogenic activity. Wet prairie is a vanishing...
